Or as I call it, "Tony Stark's Christmas!"

Because this will be of interest to some, including lonebear, who inquired about it last Fall, themadhatter26 has informed me that next week, on the 24th and 25th, Cranbrook Liquors in Cockeysville is doing SPRING DOLLAR DAYS, wherein most everything in the store is sold at just $1.00 above cost!

I, for one, am in need of better absinthe and a good scotch. Currently, I'm in love with Macallan 12 year, and while I'm sure the 18 year is indeed wonderful, I'm not sure I'm ready for that price hike even at a dollar above cost. Wait, there's also a 15 year too, right? Either way, yowza price hike. Either way, I'll have to celebrate St. Patrick's Day next week.

I can't drink anything today, because tomorrow I'm having surgery in a very unpleasant place, and will be very uncomfortable for the next couple days. I dare say I will have earned that scotch next week.

THIS IS A NIGHT FOR *AMERICAAAAAAAAAAANS!!!*

I'm resisting the urge to do an entire St. Patrick Day's post in character as Bill the Butcher. Because I have more important work to do, and besides, that would be offensive and wrong. And besides besides, my Bill is so much better when I can be in costume to do the voice and squint and everything.
