Winter’s end brings thoughts
of girls in summer dresses.
The filthy strumpets.

Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find… Thank you, sir, and please join me in a nice whiskey (gentleman’s choice).
TW: And btw, how does this thing work? church89
Tonight? Bowmore (darkest) Sherry casked—all the way from the shores of Loch Indaal to my Colorado mountain home.
Recommended by Tim Worstall, who is himself a filthy strumpet.
Tastes a bit like chocolate.
The Bowmore, that is. Worstall probably tastes more like blood pudding.
The Filthy Strumpets would be a good name for a rock band. If there were still rock bands.
Ever get around to the Lagavulin, Jeff?
Sherry casked Scotch… that sounds yummy. We brought back a bottle of Jameson’s that was sherry casked. Actually, more accurately, we drank the whole bottle while still in Ireland, and couldn’t get back to the distillery for more.
Sadly, all I have is a honkin’ big bottle of the Glenlivet tonight. Any port in a storm, I always say.
For us newbs, can you link to the first two Prude’s Haikus?
Ta.
Bowmore is excellent.
No British Embassy should ever serve cognac as long as Scotland remains a part of the United Kingdom.
Yeah. Liked it quite a bit, wishbone. Smoother than Laphroiag—but to be honest, I don’t drink Laphroiag for its smoothness, anyway.
I have a whole bunch here to chose from—I’m going broke picking up a couple bottles each week to try—so eventually I’ll have a stable for me and a stable for guests.
Just picked up the Bowmore this evening, along with Caol Ila, which I’m going to try next.
Then I’ll make it through 10 minutes of Lawrence of Arabia and pass out on the couch.
LIKE CLOCKWORK, BABY!
Yeah, the Bowmore sherry is good.
Me? I’ve been lovin’ Laphroaig 15yo. The Laphroaig 10yo tastes like a bandaid that has been left on the seashore–what with all the peaty phenolics….
Something magical happens to the 15yo: all the harsh flavors in the 10yo get mellowed and the whole thing is a big warm malt. A gigantic malt….
TW march14 isn’t my birthday! March19 is! I’ll be buying some Laphroaig 15yo for that….
Here you go, furriskey. “Prude’s Haiku” and “Lapsed Prude’s Haiku”.
For sheer smoothness? Springbank 21yo.
Yeah, it’s $100 if you can find it, but goddammit, you will remember it. It goes down just like warm milk.
Well, great minds think alike–O’Toole says he had a few before the camel charge scenes because he refused to tie himself to one like Sharif. I’ll bet those weren’t Bowmore, though.
Strumpets, Scotch and a
Seasonal reference to boot.
Good haiku thread, Jeff.
There once was a blogger named Jeff
Who would write haiku for a laugh.
He said, “A Limerick’s just fine,
Like when there’s no whiskey there’s wine.
But haiku can be made in a breaf”.
Moving on to the Caol Ila, now. The Sound of Islay.
Well, I’ll be the judge of that.
February’s chill
gone: like this boring whiskey.
Someone fill me up!
<ahem> Uh, Sean… I think you’ve got an extra syllable in there. No?
Or maybe you were being Shakespearean with the eliding and all… “ref’rence” maybe. I’ll go with that.
Gentlemen, I bid you GOOD NIGHT.
dude! you got my TW!!!! that is my birthday. and I don’t know what I’ll be doing, but unless something goes terribly wrong in the next 12 hours I’ll at least get to spend part of it with my husband. I’m just gonna go run a few laps now…..
And maggie. Oops.
ha! I’m sneaky like that.
I’ll be here with my Crystal Light Raspberry Ice…sigh.
maggie, RTO is coming home? Sweet!
“Cuz I’m guessing you’re not heading to the ‘stan..
ja, a couple weeks R&R. it’s nice that they fly into D/FW at least. okay, back to haiku.
procrastination.
will be baking lemon cake
well past twelve o’clock
“HYPOCRISY!,” Leif Garrett and a haiku, all in one day.
Scotch it is, then.
Who’s the author, Sheikh Hilaly?
/
“Stable” being the operative word for me since it tastes like the Augean version to my palate. Call me a heretic… I’ll live.
Yeah, yeah. That’s the ticket.
Barley, yeast, water.
Yield the beverage of choice.
Strumpets are fine too!
Hi, ho:
An assimilated redneck, me
Mam, sure guilty takin’ a fine likker for free
But to pay is just wrong
So I’ll cowboy it up
And pay heed to the needs of my horse.
Sundresses with no
panties makes me yearn for spring
fuck the blogosphere.
Thank you Jeff.Thank you
Tman too- don’t feel like spring
here in Seoul airport.
Dan Radcliff , Equus.
Summer for those in London.
I have no ticket.
Rain in Louisville
Snowing up in Wisconsin?
How ‘bout Iowa?
-long day ahead. Anyone up for breakfast at Ohare this morning? Round nineish?
Damn that Dan Radcliffe!
“Want some fries with your beefcake,
Mrs. Robinson?”
Blood pudding? Today, probably red wine, after last night’s ingestion.
More normally, probably poatoes (part Irish you see).
Blogger Jeff Goldstein
likes his whiskey and strumpets.
Can I have some too?
Girls in summer clothes
Performing for the male gaze
Turn my head? Funk dat.
my personal favorite is oban, although the peaty flavor of laphroiag is good too.
