Don't get me wrong, like I said, I understand the dynamic. But the fact that it's a beverage just *feels* bizarre to me. - musubi Oct 14, 12:48 17
- I feel the same way as you do about most steakhouses - that I can make them at home. But I can't blend scotch, or age port 40 years. -- nm - Roger More Oct 14, 12:49 16
  - well, you *could*, but whether it would be worth the effort is a completely different matter. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 12:52 15

      - My friend does this with his yearly birthday present to himself, a bottle of the aforementioned Bushmills 21 Rare. - znufrii Oct 14, 12:58 9
        
        When we finally get a grown up place where I can store things like this I'm going to buy a bottle and put it away. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 12:59 8

        ...and then next to where I store that bottle, I'm building an enormous ball pit! -- nm - Mel Profit si Oct 14, 13:02 2
