	Oddly enough, that is the case with the 12 and 18 year Mac.
	The 12 is very nice, the 18 tastes like hell, but leave it to 
	25 and it is some of the nicest stuff on the planet.  I've yet to
	try the 30.  It is stupidly $$.  I used to pay $160 for the 25
	at the ABCs in FL.  The Louis I'd pay $900 for, but now it is
	something like $4K.  Ridiculous, even if 75 years in a barrel
	is pretty impressive.

	The Knock is very similar to the Mac.  Mac's a bit smoother,
	but similar flavor.  I like the highland malts.  The Islays
	taste like I'm chewing on burnt peat.  The only exception to
	that is LaPhroaig, which is very rich, but I like it.

	There is another Cognac I'd like to try, but I think it is
	something like $10K a bottle, aged 130 years.  Ah, for the days
	when I could afford $500 shots and not break a sweat...

	Hey, my friend Mike finally got a job in Portland.  I almost can't 
	believe it.  Now if only I can follow suit...

	Anyone know if I can ship a dog's body FEDEX without ending up
	in jail?

	Hey Jerry, wanna put Jack in the perma frost?
