Like I leave the keys laying around...

In the comments to the H&I Post below, Jim B, former Marine, Erudite Edumacator, and Bogey-man of Argghhh opines thusly:

Well as usual I have a keen eye for detail (yea right ususlly I classify things like this; If you can't eat it drink it or take it to bed with you what good is it?)

I noticed the Militaria Bar of Argghh, and the Booze Vessels of Argghh, and noted there was no Scoresby present. Therefore on future trips to the land of Argghh (yes Dorothy there is an Argghh) I will be compelled to brink [sic] the official Scoresby hip flask with me. Which is, of course and empied [sic] out plastic bottle that formerly contained Sprite.

Snerk. Looks like it's well-used, too.

1. I don't leave the keys laying around for Denizens to find. If I did, it would be the Empty Liquor Cabinet of Argghhh!

2. We've not yet felt compelled to light the Jim B. Grail Beacon. Close, but you've not *quite* dropped out of sight.

3. Just to make you feel more comfortable, I will send Ry up the High Tower to light the Beacon.

There. Go behind the Curtain into the Flash Traffic/Extended Entry and see what awaits.

The Jim B. Grail Beacon

That's a *glass* bottle, too. Not the cheap plastic ones they use now. You may thank the Father of the Mistress of Argghhh! for that provisioning.

I sincerely hope you do not think I lack class. I have lotsa class albeit all low. However to not appear so tacky, I am usually not seen drinking scotch out of my trusty old Sprite bottle. No no no. I wrap it in a brown paper bag. And another thing, is it just me, or do others notice misspellings only after they hit post, then sit there agonizing the 15 minutes or so while the thing actually does post staring at them?
 
Hee! The only reason I don't have *more* typos is because I have global editing privileges. Besides your timing was perfect. I kept looking for an excuse to light the Scoresby beacon...
 
Ooohh! A BLENDED Scotch .... Cheers
 
Heh, I don't like Scotch *or* Bourbon. Blended or Single Malts. This stuff is for visitors. I got a nice bottle of Glenfiddich from the Canadian LNO as a gift while I was on faculty at the FA School. After dutifully trying it, I expended the bottle on he and his wife for the rest of the time they were there. Worked out for everybody. It got drunk by people who appreciated it - and I appreciated the gesture. And no, John - it wasn't all a ploy on Doug's part. He genuinely couldn't envision that someone wouldn't appreciate such a fine product...
 
Heathens! Jameson in a shot glass.
 
Ya mean I wasn't s'posed ta use a straw?
 
Bushmills!! Cheers
 
Not to start some kinda religious war between Maggie and J.M. Heinrichs, but isn't Bushmills that Danged Protestant whiskey?
 
(Panting heavily) Sair! I broke all the matches.
 
'Faol saol agat, gob fliuch, agus bás in Éirinn.' Bushmills indeed! Humph!
 
Who wants to die in Ireland? Ick.
 
You're like a bull in a china shop! It's something else in context and where I come from.....it was something they aspired to. Whatever! Like you guys need a *good* toast to raise a glass. Like you need *any* toast. Do as you please as long as Jim B (the troublemaker) keeps my glass wet with Jameson.
 
...where I come from.....it was something they aspired to. I'll buy that, considering the alternative was to suffer through Teddy the K's speechifying every four years...
 
So, Jameson was one of those officers in dress whites, eh?
