By that logic...

Post #18,745 by jb4 11/19/01 9:15:07 AM Reply	By that logic... In fact, just about all 22 Arab states were created after WWI and are completely artificial. By that standard...The countires of eastern Europe, southeast Asia, Most of Africa, and the Orient are similarly artificial. That in no way illigitimizes them, however. And has been pointed out, this also, pointedly includes Isreal. jb4 (Resistance is not futile...)

Boys!!___ it's much simpler than that - I couldn't find it via a Google search: "Why Men Love War" + book A good look: the idea appears a Popular one for massive explanation.

Don't go fucking "boys" in the plural, as if they were somehow "equally to blame" for not seeing eye to eye! The fact is, Irish Whiskey is a reasonably reasonable shrewd debater, while Blooke is a one-eyed rabid fuckwit, spouting ludicrous "defenses" of a fucking fascistoid policy of genocide (or at least, "close enough for government work".) Jumping on Whiskey Boy "just as much", given that background (in your terms, Blooke's _I_S_ smaller), is fucking well offensive in and of itself. Christian R.

Post #19,632 by CRConrad 11/28/01 11:03:05 AM Reply	Yeah, they can't spell "Whisky". Or did'ya mean "JB" isn't Irish? Then what is it? (I'm fairly sure it isn't real Whisky, anyway.) Murkin Beuhbunn, perhaps? (And what the fuck does the Royal House of France have to do with some nekulturnyj Colonial maize-brew anyway?!?) Oh, who cares... I only drink the Grouse, anyway.

Post #19,686 by Ric Locke 11/28/01 7:54:27 PM Reply	Either "J&B" (a pretty good blended whisky) though certainly not the best, or, more likely -- Johnnie Walker Black Label ("Jack Black"), top grade of the best, as you say, Murriacan Corn Squeezin's. Don't care for the stuff myself, but then, I'm the one who's unhappy that he can no longer get Doppelkorn Schnapps [the old-fashioned, pure-quill stuff, not the wimpy pepperminz c..p] Regards, Ric
Post #19,718 by jb4 11/29/01 1:46:32 PM Reply	Also There's Jim Beam (obviously no relation) which is yer basic hooch. But I feel your pain re: Doppelkorn... (But have you tried Ratzeputz...?) jb4 (Resistance is not futile...)
Post #19,753 by Ashton 11/29/01 8:36:04 PM Reply	Real Men\ufffd drink, er sip Armagnac.. (Women are too smart to)
Post #19,756 by Ric Locke 11/29/01 8:47:56 PM Reply	Armagnac? Fancy name and since I can't get doppelkorn, I shall simply have to find a car old enough to have a solid-brass radiator [funny, a couple dead ones right outside the window; fancy that] and go into business for myself. Hm. It's been awhile, and it's remarkable how many things are on the market today that look, er, really handy for such an enterprise. Especially the newfangled notion of deposit/return propane cylinders -- the gas ring from an old water heater, with about three-quarters of the slots closed up, connected to an RV regulator and a five-gallon cylinder, should be just the thing for gentle heating of, say, a fifty-gallon vat. Foo on woodcutting. I shall save my mesquite for barbecuing... by the way, clear corn-squeezins, with a bit of black pepper and a few other useful spices, makes a marvelous tenderizing marinade for venison.

Post #19,783 by jb4 11/30/01 9:05:07 AM Reply	The trouble w/ Apfelkorn... ...is that it's too sweet for day-to-day drinking. It's very good on occasion, but it's not for front-line getting smashed.... jb4 (Resistance is not futile...)
