My friends, I had not intended to discuss this controversial subject at this particular time. However, I want you to know that I do not shun controversy. On the contrary, I will take a stand on any issue at any time, regardless of how fraught with controversy it might be. You have asked me how I feel about whiskey. All right, here is how I feel about whiskey:
If when you say whiskey you mean the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster, that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean the evil drink that topples the Christian man and woman from the pinnacle of righteous, gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, and despair, and shame and helplessness, and hopelessness, then certainly I am against it.
But, if when you say whiskey you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and laughter on their lips, and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer; if you mean the stimulating drink that puts the spring in the old gentleman's step on a frosty, crispy morning; if you mean the drink which enables a man to magnify his joy, and his happiness, and to forget, if only for a little while, life's great tragedies, and heartaches, and sorrows; if you mean that drink, the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars, which are used to provide tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitiful aged and infirm; to build highways and hospitals and schools, then certainly I am for it.
This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise.
Let's start a ruckus, shall we?
I take my Single Malt with a glass of ice. I enjoy tasting the various flavor combinations that are formed with the melting ice. You?
BTW, it's Rory, for all the right reasons of winning, finishing more consistently, and playing on a wider stage.

"Rookie of the Year" should go to Innercityteacher.
He's worked harder and played more G.O.L.F. than either one of them and he posted 2.64 times per day with some of them competing in "Short Stories" Digest.
I know more about Innercityteacher than I know about my Secretary and she's been with me for 12 years (She's Married and has a dog and cat).

Okay, Daryl, we may need a 'judges' decision' on this one.
No question, InnerCity is the hands down leader in the Length-of-Posts category. Air, on the other hand, is miles ahead in the Number of Posts category (4.38 per day).
It appears we need two awards: Posting Average Actual and Posting Average Adjusted. This division -- where each post is weighted according to its length -- has a precedent. Namely, the PGA TOUR, which has two measurements for Scoring Average (Actual and Adjusted).
Hey, a second trophy doesn't cost that much. I'm for giving both!

4.38 Posts per day and that includes hardly anything while he was taking a vacation. Whoa.......
Well, .....ICT has two dogs... How many pets does Air own?
