A couple of us got together over the weekend...

got pretty wild towards the end, until the clerk showed up...

...then everyone just kind of wandered back to their shelves.

Boys,

on one hand, its too bad some of the other AS members don't appreciate old George...

Then again, too much demand can create scarcity of supply....which leads to chest bumpin' and thumb wrastlin'.

Luckily, I am on the positive slope of the supply curve  :compress:

And Scott - she was preeeeeeeety, and oh yea, Bondo...she did come home with me.  

I picked up her cousin round 'bout two months ago - Georgette - I'm gonna go say hello right now.

Glad you fellers liked the photo  :tongue:

Well some of us drank it long ago. I had my first of many in the winter of 1969, Chanute Air Force Base, Rantoul Illinois.
I was still 18 then and it was known as a "tickle of Dickel", probably still is.
In my golden years, I prefer something different.
Still not at all unfamiliar with the ol' boy, and went back to it when it became available again in 2003-4.

C.B.,

   Very well indeed !!  Capital !!

Holy Schniekies !!  So you were a Wing Wiper.  Bless your soul and thank you for your service to our great country.  

I reckon out there it could get pretty cold with without a little "Gorge on the George".  I just made that up, and I doubt if I'll ever mention that again.  :oops:  

But Scott turned me on to this stuff and just like he might say, it is "Dee Lux".  

I would describe it as not just fancy, but "Double Ought Fancy" !   :compress:

Glad to see you like it too, C.B.  :salut:

It's the Golden Years for sure, and given that, our memories tend to fade, trust me.

Perhaps you should give Old George #12 a second chance...a second sniff, a second tickle if you will.

Feel certain 'ol George will be a fave in your cabinet :wink:

Yuk.  I spent a year there.  Twice. 1970 & 1974  :roll:

Back when I fished bass tournaments with the brother in law ol' George always went with us but we never let him out of the trunk until we were on the way home.  Couple of times I don't know how we made it home.  I guess George was driving because I was in no shape to drive.

Witcha.

Ol' George is a friend. But he can be a backstabber too.

For sure...he sucks at driving.

Bill, Bill, Bill.....   as the Frogs would say, "Oh contrair, mon frair"

  In FrogSpeak, I think that means,  "Oh no, JackWagon, you're all dicked up!!"

  In my case, I just want say that is not George that showed up... that is Georgette, the beauty in the lineup I posted !!

  In any case, drink all the good-luck-to-Trace toasts you DARE, because salmon season will over soon and I will be wearing a great big ugly skunk cap until next year.... sort of like a coonskin cap, but think in tones more like black and white.  Dang.  So drink up, and don't be shy !!

  As Gran puts it so very, very eloquently:             Toast that :*: like it was your JOB !!

  And I am really happy you liked it.  Maybe you'll find yourself waking up to some Rembrandt's or Monet's after your next Rotary art autions.

 Me, I am more in the Elvis on velvet line, myself  :tongue:

So true, my friend, so true. :tongue:

JJ,

Aren't you glad those days (drinking stupidly) are behind you?  

In High School, there should be a "Learn Your Limits 101" class, to teach you about drinking alcohol and such.

I just look back at my experiences and shake my head...

...and kind of mumble incoherently, "Lordy, lordy, how did I scrape through that one..."

You are not kidding.  (and there are probably a couple of those that the statute of limitations has not run out yet...)
