[TheForge] The hard cider is good... OT:

[Cheryl Brimson]

Mike:
I can't believe that someone would want a weedeater powered blender.  That is just too much!  Haven't they heard about single malt scotch?  You don't even use that much ice and it doesn't have to be pulverized in a $700 blender!  I can buy a lot of 16 year old cask strength single malt for that much money.
