Johnny Walker Blue blows 90% of single malts out of the water any day of the week.

That is all.

I first have to go see eyefloater and check out the Brooks saddles and if it is not raining Ijust might go to the X with you for burgers and stuff but if we have to lock up the bikes I'll pass cause that Krypto U lock thing from Cavernmech got me worried about leaving my Pinnarelo locked well any of my bikes locked

I don't think you'll need to lock up. If necessary we can just keep an eye on each other's rides. I think eyefloater is going to swing by when he's done at 7:00 as well. I'll likely show up between 7:00 and 7:30 as well. My friend cuts my hair (she runs her "studio" in her apartment) so we usually wind up socializing and listening to music and stuff so it takes a while (appt is at 5:30). :D

Depends on what you like from your whiskey. I am sure Blue is a fine whiskey.....I far prefer the uniqueness of single malts over blends. It's like Creemore vs Guiness....both good beers but the Guiness is far more unique.

TRaffic Jammer 06-01-06 11:27 AM

^^^^:lol:^^^^
I can't drink the blended stuff at all. Must be a good single malt.

Ill Mitch 06-01-06 11:31 AM

What's this about the Kryptonite flat key locks?

eyefloater 06-01-06 11:38 AM

Cavernmech's just fear mongering because he wants everyone else to use that ****ed up cable lock he always has wrapped around his waist. [serious note]I REALLY hope we don't have to go through another Kryptonite recall debacle.[/serious note]

I think I will ride down this evening as well.

I like the utilitarian look of the monster chain but I'd sure hate to carry it around.

those things are freaking heavy. i tried using one for a while, just about killed me to ride with. i don't know how those new york messengers do it.

TRaffic Jammer 06-01-06 11:52 AM

seriously...it must be quite intimidating uncoiling that chain in front of offending motorist. I picked up the furget-about-it at Cycle Therapy, crazy heavy
Jeremy, what kinda of cheffing you specialize in? All the chefs I know all are wonderfully competent all around but they all have a zest or passion for something in particular.

somnambulant 06-01-06 11:59 AM

It would start raining just as I start to go for a little cruise at lunch, wouldn't it? Of course, I was going to grab lunch someplace and as I was riding down Augusta I decided it would be nice to sit in the "window" (ie. opening) at Big Fat Burrito and read a book "outside" while sheltered from the rain. It was lurvly! And the rain died down enough after an hour that I barely got wet getting back to the office. Oh, and the burrito was decent also (first time there).

TRaffic Jammer 06-01-06 12:02 PM

Started pouring a couple minutes after I pulled into the parking garage at work....whew just missed being a drowned rat.

somnambulant 06-01-06 12:09 PM

ps. I <3 GoreTex

edit: sorry, what I meant to say was GORETEX FTW!!!!!!!!!1

Yeah, I do obey the traffic lights when I see cops and I immediately become the most polite person on the planet when I get pulled over. Learned my lesson w/ the recent spate of ticket blitzes in NYC.

honestly, i don't know yet and probably won't until i get my hands dirty. i do enjoy pastries and baking, but that's another area of study. if anything i would say, italian, such as tuscan/peasant fare. simple food with few ingredients but the freshest and best you can get. but who knows, we'll see.

TRaffic Jammer 06-01-06 12:36 PM

yum... I love cooking. I'm so not the pastries and baking guy. The oven is almost a foreign land to me.

jyossarian 06-01-06 12:39 PM

Jeremy, where you going to chef school? George Mason? A friend of mine went to culinary school and has the scars to prove it.

And I carry a fuhgeddaboudit and a mini-U. I wanna make sure my bike's still there when I come back.

Here's the real chef question: what kind of knives do you like? :)

Chocolate power
