    Nice. Scholarly, too! My favorite line: “Conflicting claims between mythologists and mixologists have gone back and forth.”

    THAT SAID, I just had a coffee-vanilla infused bourbon cocktail at Terra on El Cajon Blvd – they mixed it with creme de cacao and half-n-half – that was surprisingly good. Like drinking bitter chocolate, but with bite.

    Thanks.

    You are a true scholar indeed. In fact, you have a PHD in Mixology from MIT.

    Whatever happened to plain ole’ Jim Beam on the rocks. Tastes perfectly splendid to a man with an AD in Adult Beverages from Seattle Central.

      Nothing, Big Jon – it’s waiting right here for you at my back porch bar, with a view to God’s country as a backdrop…

    ladies and gentlemen of Korrektiv,

    one (or some) of you need to win this:

    It would be right and just.

      JOB,

      It’s some sort of competition from Kettle One Vodka, and as I look more closely GQ (so that may be an issue if GQ is one of those raunchy men’s mags. I’m not very familiar with its content), where if you come up with the winning ad you win $100,000.

      Who better than Korrektiv, who have already brought the two spheres of booze and the written arts together? If nothing else, it’s another project at which Lickona can throw his brilliance.

        GQ=Cosmo for men.

        (So, from what I recall at the dentist’s office, inter alia, not skintastically raunchy, but occasionally so.)

          Well, crap. I clicked “Enter” and it told me that California residents are ineligible. It’s up to you, JOB. I read an interesting essay once by Catholic author Andre Dubus about getting published in dirty magazines. But yeah, GQ is pretty tame in that regard. It caters hard to men who have an abiding interest in fashion.
