Well sunny and not too cold... I could bike up to Kensington too or something. Anyone else up for a lunch time meet up tomorrow?

Yah what time?

The key is to keep everything clean and keep traps set. Being proactive is the only way to prevent them from taking over. They are around.

They infested the shop for a short time. Even came out in the daytime as I found out one safety Meeting. In row house type structures it can be really tough to keep em out. But if you have an infestation....its hard not to know, or get rid of em.
Scotch....Whiskey......Anyone?.....Beuller?

Actually I like that idea better.

Actually I think "titillating" would be a better word for it.

Hmmm.... Might I suggest some Balvenie Cask 191. A bargain at your local LCBO for a mere $3000.
Entry level single malts start with the pretty basic Glenlivet and Glenfiddich for around $25 for a 375 ml which is probably a good choice if you're not a regular scotch drinker. They're both Speyside malts and so tend to be a little sweeter, a little more subtle, and not so peaty. For a 750 ml, you're up to $45 to start for the entry level single malts. General rules of thumb for taste by region are here http://www.scotchnoted.com/5_whiskey_regions.htm

[edit] Having a look through the lcbo offerings, the Aberlour 10 year old at $40 is a pretty good choice as a starter if you want to drop the coin. And I can't believe they lcbo discontintued the Aberlour A'bunadh. That ones staying at home, boys.

I've been to two of the St. Louis places (King/Bathurst, Skydome/Bremner one), not bad at all, and the ribs aren't *so* bad either. Never been a fan of Shoeless Joe's, but it's a fun place if you're in the right company - beer flowing, etc. etc. I've had a few lunches at Hooters which burns and crashes hard by comparison to both (WAY too greasy = leaky bum-bum down).

Ride up to Don Mills/Sheppard was fun, was a bit sketchy out at rush hour (in fact I dumped it at Broadview/Danforth weaving toward the left turn lane, ho hum) but otherwise just fine - I took Pape/Overlea to Don Mills going there, avoiding the up hill and then came down Don Mills all the way down again. Other than my toes getting a bit cold, it was all in all a nice run - the hill coming out of the valley toward O'Connor must've hit me hard with all the panting I was doing after... *cough* should give up safety *cough* ;)

Enjoy Scotch night, as well as it being a bit of a waste on my unsophisticated palette, I can't make it anyway (sprogg + work weekend :()

I'm likely going to be doing some album mixing on Friday night, but I can suggest perhaps getting together to do that on another night.

Is anyone else thinking that we should help the fire professionals by helping to empty Dukes? ;)

cavernmech 02-20-08 07:34 AM

Totally off topic but I had to share.

Mindy was at work yesterday..The Friendly Thai...doing her usual bang-up job. Out of nowhere the manager of the place asks her "Is your pootah clean?" Now these guys are Sri Lankan...and I admittedly don't speak Sri Lankan but I think there is only one thing this could mean. She got in his face and asked him angrily to repeat what he said. He chuckled and sheepishly refused. She quit on the spot leaving them magnificently short handed. I have 2 questions for y'all. Firstly does anyone here know any Sri Lankan speakers that would be willing to translate a friendly discussion with this clown as all the staff there speak barely any English?. If one wanted to lodge a complaint about this misogynistic and unacceptable behavior where would one go?

suspect, too.

somnambulant 02-20-08 08:02 AM

Apparently the fire started at Suspect, so I guess they're completely destroyed.. :( Hopefully their insurance was good.
