Nope, no JD for the kid.  Heck, we're just beginning to let him experiment with Pepsi!  Besides, he's already addicted to the X-box he got for getting good grades in school.  One addiction is enough.  Besides, I'm more of a single malt scotch or Bombay Saffire  guy.  (Like I might have 1 drink a month).  I believe in healthier ways of altering consciousness (surprise, surprise ... LOL).
 
Bill, tgo

My favorite pub drink is.... (I'm not sure if I should mention it, gotta think 'bout me reputation)... Tea! and cola... Well I'm from Holland, so I think my choice of altering my consciousness should be obvious...  
I have to appologize to some Dutch club members, not everyone here likes it as much as me... so to all you non Hollanders please do not be prejudiced against the Dutch!
Cheers!

To be quite honest, I'd prefer a glass of Laphroaig over a bottle of JD. And going to Beetsterzwaag would take me just an hour by bus, so...

...I'll have to get a new bottle, my dad's to blame for that!
I have some glenmorangie (port wood finish and the regular 10 years old) or we could drink up to 2 glasses of Bowmore(cask strenght), I have some dimple left and a glass or two Glenrothes. As I said in the other thread (of post), all my money is infested in Alembic...

It's funny how threads turn to topics other than what they were originally intended. I made a post about my experiences during bike week in Laconia, NH  and then responded to a question about the venue. All of a sudden this becomes a biker thread. Personally, I love it. I have not owned a bike for years although I do plan to buy one next summer. Last night I watched a program about the history of the Hell's Angels. I have played at many motorcycle related events and have always been treated with the utmost respect regardless of whether Hell's Angels members were involved or not. There is a reason why the greatest bands of all time play motorcycle related rallies such as Laconia, Myrtle Baech, Daytona and Sturgis. In general, bikers are cool people who just want to have a good time.  I have been fortunate enough to play them all. Here's to great music, great bikes and great people.

Sooo...  Are you playing Sturgis?

I remember an evening news micro-interview of Billy Gibbons, when ZZ Top was playing at a biker affair.  The bubble-headed bleached blonde (to use Don Henley's phrase) asked Billy, Why are you so fascinated with these Harleys?  Billy said, They're big; they're fast; they're loud---I rest my case.

I live about 80 miles from Daytona and only made it to Bike Week once.  And that was accidently.  I just happened to be driving through.  I've known a lot of people either attending or playing these events and they all have a great time.  There's another in Leesburg Florida that I've heard is a good rally.  Senior management so far hasn't squawked much about GAS but isn't budging on the motorcycle issue.
 
George, Billy left out one adjective ... ridiculously expensive.  (ducking now from the Harley guys)
