Good for what ails ya in north east Asia

I grow ever- slacker at this blogging lark. Soon I may have to go into a chrysalis and re-emerge with a new online presence (much like MAS did with his awesome literalist take on Handwashings).

Until then, fancy a brew?

Ivory Coast's 'big-bottom' craze

I had no idea that I lived next door to an Ivorian Consulate. Its the fact that all my neighbors in that building are white that threw me off, I suppose. I sense twin-town possibilities; maybe some toasts with pints of "Fat Ass in a Glass"?

A Half Gallon of Glen MacInbred, My Good Man

England is getting its first whisky distillery in 100 years, in the Norfolk village of East Harling. The same East Harling where my mother's family lived when my grandfather was one of the village policemen, no less. Despite the presense of a bona fide pickled Scottish sailor to help them make the beverage, the drink produced cannot properly be called 'scotch'. Perhaps they should market it as 'Nortch whisky'. Then it would sound so disgusting nobody would buy it, and I'd be able to snatch it up by the caseload at a knock-down price.

Much like grape vines taking hold in southern England, I think this can be laid at the door of global warming.
