This is almost a LIVEDRUNK-approved sign.

The large view makes it clear why we can only approve of it in
moderation.

The vacation trip to Delaware wait fruitful in that a fifth of
Lagavulin 16 was procured for 58 USD
<drum roll >
AND NO TAX

should have brought back more, but I was unwilling to ride back with
more than one in the backpack.

Guess I'm still a LIVEDRUNK newbie.

Need not make an exclusive choice.
USA straight rye whisky is usually very good.

It would be kind of cool for Marilyn Manson to change his band name to
Marilyn Manson and the Moral Majority.

But Manson is far less likely to end up in a special place in hell being tormented
by Satan's minions than Falwell.

The caption says, "Fans hold up signs etc." when there's only one fan holding such
a sign. That's not so good if they were trying to imply that a lot of people are
stressed out by doping in the peloton.

Can we get back to the real discussion here, please?

Calvados or Brandy?

But as regards your irrelevant diversion, it could mean there were fans
(plural) holding signs (plural), but the prettiest photo showed only one
of them.

Hell, considering that I've seen the fans write "[rider name] EPO" on
the roads in years past, I'd say this idea has been with us for a while.

Yeah, they were writing it about Lance,

Last weekend I enjoyed a bottle of Dalmore 12. Good stuff. However, best
was the Aberlour a'bunadh I got a few months ago. Exquisite.

Highland Park (cask strength)
