Re: Fish Eyes again
In north eastern California is what is now the world's largest flyway:
the Pacific Flyway. The 'other' flyway (a migration path for birds)
WAS in Russia but the Russians have devastated the area unfortunately.
So this area here in CA, somewhat remote, but gorgeous, has literal
hundreds of thousands of birds on
their annual migration. Oregon is right there. Like throw a rock and
that's Oregon. In Oregon the state controls the liquor so there is
just a fixed price
and certain times to buy booze. Over at Hatfield, on Stateline Road,
is a market. Whew, do they have stacks and stacks of booze. Everclear
too.
As I remember 1.75 liters of Knob Creek was under $30. That's the spot
to buy EverClear folks.
And, yes, I saw umpteen scrillion Candian and White-Fronted geese,
Bald Eagles by the dozens, as well as th elovely Ruddy duck, and oh I
could
go on . . . but, gee Everclear. Yeaup, that's the spot.

LOLOL this is the quirkiest thread I have seen on this list in a
looonnngggg time. Nice to know we all still have our senses of
humor, especially in this financial crisis of a time.
I thank all of you for offering such FINE advice on how to buy
Everclear in a liquor store--how to walk in proudly, head held
high, licking my lips in anticipation for one mighty fine drink.
Next time I think I am going to do the two GALLON thing that
Kerik's wife does.
Lemmetellya, growing up with an alcoholic mother and having two
alcoholic sisters makes the thought of buying Everclear a
bit....distasteful. But, now, a fine bottle of Boodles gin or Grey
Goose vodka or a Malbec wine, hmmmm...priceless. I'll be sure to
wear my...lipstick when purchasing.

PS and Judy, how did you remember I own an AK47??
PPS MARK the thought of you sitting at the table in a garter belt
is a bit much for these eyes :)
PPPS No WONDER that guy wants off the list!

I am shocked, I mean SHOCKED, that any woman in this year of
1928-- oops I mean 2008 -- would give a rat's whisker what a CLERK
in a LIQUOR STORE (who sells rotgut to drunks or overpriced wine
to nouveaux riches for a living) thought of their purchase --
morning, noon or night. Not to mention that permitting the real or
imagined (attitude? sneer?) to intimidate intensifies their
power. They'll know if you're embarrassed, confirming that you
SHOULD be embarrassed and/or that women are wimps.(Or the joy of
sadism.) These are guys SELLNG THE STUFF, for heaven's sake. (They
probably flunked 8th grade.)
Suggestion: Walk in wearing your pointiest-toed 6-inch spike
heels, most seductive decolletage, with your AK47 slung over one
shoulder and ammo belt hung low. Tell them you need some Everclear
in a hurry because the posse is waiting, but you'll be back for
something more suitable in time for the after party.
