What do you do while high on scotch?

So I had me some Johnnie Walker Red, then some Black then some J&B Rare and then I found myself in a different place where things just didn't seem to matter. You see, I had crossed the line and now was sipping high. No guilt. No denial. Just a damned good honest legal controlable scotch high.

I have a plasma TV and I sat back in my reclinable surfing channels. Sipping. Sipping. I have a small library I've assembled over the last decade, about 3000 volumes. I picked out three books and sat down sipping (this time Red - dryer, lighter, harsher than the Black - but good) my scotch and water and purusing the books. Phantasties by MacDonald, Don Quijote de la Mancha (en Espanol) and The Intelligent Investor by Graham.

I opened a can of Planters Deluxe mixed nuts. Broke the vacuum seal and heard a whooshing sound. They smell so good when first opened! Took a small handful and ate. A perfect blend of nuts and scotch. Took another sip - boy that was good. Then I got an inspriation! Popped a VHS (a reasson for this) and watched Fantastic Planet, a very special 1970's animated feature. I chose the VHS instead of DVD because the DVD has embedded English subtitles you cannot turn off. The VHS is straight English sound track with no subtitles. Incredible scenery - hallucinagenic. I thought for a moment about an old girlfriend I HAD back in the 70's and felt a little sad we did not keep in touch. What happened to her?

My wife cooked up some really good ribs and burgers on the grill and brought them in with some Budweiser on ice (well, you can see why I chose this one over the previously mentioned girlfriend). After dinner, a little Glenlivet and some meditation on the week's events. I started The Lathe of Heaven DVD and explained to my wife how this movie was only shown once on PBS maybe about twenty years ago and then legal arguments kept it in the can until now. George Orr....... what a trip. A good scotch high. Bring em' on!

Why are you so obsessed with being "high" on malt? Maybe you should try and get a bit more of a life instead of quizzing the world and his dog about their "highs".

How many people really care that you opened a fekkin tub of peanuts for petes sake!

Anybody who'd drink good scotch or any good booze for that matter just to get high, needs to get out of their immature, college mentality. Good whiskies are to be savoured and enjoyed. Drinking just to get high and drunk, that crap stoppped for me when I left college and stopped drinking the swill we all drink in college.

Why should you try to dictate your values? Anybody who is drinking whiskey and denies they are getting high is most likely an alcoholic who is lying not only to their families but mostly to themselves. I bet you get Playboy strictly for the articles too.

Everybody can see that your emotional outburst really casts you into the light of obsession. It is very obvious to us that you have been drinking too much, your dopamine levels are depleted and you are not jovial; you are angry and feeling guilty. And you have the gaul shorthand phrase whiskey into "malt?" What is that? Some secret catch phrase? Are you too cool to talk. I bet you probably suffer open handed pimp slaps from most men you ecounter in social situations. Now you are hidding in a newsgroup.

*LOL* you don't half talk some pish son. Perhaps you can total up the number of posts I've made begging for people to tell me their "highs", then compare it with the drivel you post every few days or so.

And you know so much about your subject that you even spell whisky incorrectly.

Malt as in single malt, as in single malt whisky. As in Balvenie, Dallas Dhu, Benromach, and many others.

*yawn* you're obviously trying to project your own failed life onto others to prop your ego.

Most here are well aware of your outburst over football. Why carry your ill attitude here? I'm having fun talking about and enjoying scotch. You are just doing your damned best to rain on somebody's parade. I know you are an unhappy person. You should seek medical attention. I mean that in the spirit of sincerity. You need help before you hurt yourself of someone else.

From German or Yiddish or perhaps both, meaning, more or less, someone who can expertly differentiate among tastes.

When it comes to malts, I'm afraid you qualify, Bart. Your posts are among the more maltishly erudite that appear here.

Oddly, when I googled for feinsmecker, I found most of the hits were in one or more Scandinavian languages and only a few in German. But then, languages tend to bleed into each other.

cheers.

What are you babbling about? What outburst? What football? Proper football, or american football?

Again, you don't half talk utter pish son. You know nothing, and knw even less about me.

That's because it's actually: feinschmecker

Maybe because the correct spelling is "Feinschmecker". Anders
