BIG THANKS to Harvey at Bad Money for his encouragement, direction and assistance.
Thanks to Matt at Blackfive for ideas to blog about stemming from one of his weekly blogging themes - Drinking, even though this will come as complete surprize to him.
Thanks to Emperor Misha I at The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler for anointing me the Imperial Tender of Bars. And thanks to his formidable empire of Loyal Citizens for giving me the confidence that I have the ability to write semi-coherent sentences and clearly communicate a thought - although the jury is still out on the last part of that.
Thanks to Lord Spatula I, King and Tyrant at Spatula City for teaching me cragerization, how to flame trolls, and just generally being a mean, funny suminabatch.
Cheers!
