Well put. i saw some Johnny Walker in the LCBO with the expensive stuff. i didn't realize their blue label is $200! it must be that expensive becuase it's hard to get a blend the same every time. when are we doing this? i'm salivating...
in related news, in the same LCBO i happened on a bottle of canadian rye, it was a single malt and it sold for less than the cheap blended scotch. i was truly intrigued, i should have bought it, i forgot the name (no it's not wisers, it was an independant producer).

It's listed in the bikeweek guide. I think there's just going to be some booths around the grassy area near the bandshell plus a bbq and I assume bands playing. Just somewhere to chillax for the evening. Beats sitting around at home.

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

That is all.

Are you trying to start a toronto SS/FG BF smack down?

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.

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

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).
