So enough with the Scotch already....

If you keep on about Scotch again, I'll be forced to tell my Boston/Logan Airport/Car Rental story, and that'll get Tardinha all wadded up, and he'll complain, and things will get really ugly.
Then some yahoo who forgot to keep up with the trend and who fails to realise that it's dead by now will mention how he is rather fond of Glenfiddich 18 over ice (and you leave my mother out of this), and after the screams of outrage die down, then the whole discussion of the virtues of adding water/not adding water to Scotch will begin, and everyone will agree that whether or not you like water in your scotch, it should at least be in liquid form, and then someone will probably mention purity of chocolate, and one of the Yurpean Monks will brag about having a shop right across the street which sells bars that are 99.44% pure, and everyone will point out that, in fact, he's really been eating Ivory Soap, and no one will agree on anything except that American chocolate sucks and...and...we don't really need that.
Also, the next time that you discover that running Lucid Emacs very 20.75 through NFS on a completely unsupported bleeding-edge version of Slackware through a 2400baud link on a machine in Paraguay makes the background colours go all screwey - don't come crying to me!
Although I have to agree that showing a misbehaving machine one of it's brethren in pieces, in pain, and in trouble seems to make them behave.
