Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Calay!

I was strolling the Scotch aisle in my local, usually not widely stocked, liquor store when mine eyes fell upon .... Oog! Finally! I can't remember how long it's been absent ...
Needless to say, a bottle followed me home.

Only one? How very restrained and prudent of you. Fortunately, there's still plenty of it here in BC, but the price is getting a bit dear. OTOH, it's a sipping whisky, not a drinking whisky, so worth it.

Yeah, it's up to $160 + sales tax here. (That's $120 USD.) The federal excise tax rate just jumped again.

Am I experiencing deja vu? I'm sure we've had this exact conversation in the past.

It does have the déjà lu feeling to it.

Turns out it was just the Oog-find, and Pooh's "frabjous day" exclamation upon doing so, that happened back in January. The rest was all new.

poohbear_nc · 05-11-2023, 02:50 PM

It is my traditional battle cry of triumph upon locating the errant Oog! None since January - wow!

Today I have mostly been drinking... Thatcher's Haze cider.

poohbear_nc · 05-11-2023, 04:41 PM

Ramen soup at lunch

CRussel · 05-12-2023, 01:38 AM

Alexander Keith IPA to go with a new batch of pulled pork. Perfect.

Bookstooge · 05-12-2023, 07:21 AM

Rockstar recovery strawberry lemonade. That's just good stuff...

issybird · 05-12-2023, 11:28 AM

Supermarket brand jug water.

neil_swann80 · 05-12-2023, 11:36 AM

This week I have mostly been drinking... grape juice.

Bookstooge · 05-12-2023, 08:57 PM

It's started to get warm again, so time to up my water intake. Have gone through about a gallon while at work...
