I would recommend 18 year old Macallan single malt. He waxes so poetically on the subject of Scotch whiskey that he should enjoy one better ones. I find Macallan Scotch the best single malt and wish it for David to say goodbye to 2014 and hello to 2015.

I partake of it when I begin reading a Safehold hardback. Its been a delightful tradition that I have to wait 9 months to renew.

Our author should be able to get into the chair of his choice and watch whichever American football bowl game he so chooses while consuming mass quantities of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen in various different molecular combinations with additional trace elements to season to taste.
However on Monday its back on your head. :twisted:

[quote="USMA74"]. . . Let him spend time with the ball and chain . . .

Properly speaking (in cockney rhyming slang) that should be: . . . Let him spend tine with the "trouble and strife" . . .

Hmm, at least it rhymes with 'wife'.

Is it bad that I check this forum 2-3 times a day to get a snippet. It is worse than being a drug addict looking for the next fix

Bravo! But does RFC read recursive? :lol:

Oh - you forgot to include this line after the readSnippet(); call.
print "Thanks RFC!!!"; ;)

"Oh bother", said Pooh as he glanced through the airlock window at the helmet he'd forgotten to wear.

It should be: Thanks RFC, but we want more.

No, more like, "Thank you RFC, but please, sir, may I have some more?" In a suitably waif-like Oliver-ish voice. :lol:

Clever, but then he'd have to add a call to a graphics routine, which is such a pain to set up!

Sorry, the programmer in me occasionally has flashbacks to the early days of Microsoft Windows, or having to switch to graphics mode in DOS (Shudders...) :geek:
