Scarlet Pimpernel

Die Hard (the original one).

Definitely!

That's not just a dirty martini... That's a filthy martini! Lots of olive juice, yeah!

Not bad! But I did add rum!

Hmmm. In order? Guess I'd have to say... Scotch, Bourbon, Cognac, Rum, Whiskey, Vodka, Gin, Tequila, Moonshine (edited to add Rum!) Worried what that might say about me!

Don't forget your brass tax!

Wait a minute! Are you selling...indulgences??

I remember at this bookstore/coffee shop in Atlanta, they had a map of the world tacked on the wall "upside down"...i.e, with the Southern Hemisphere on top. There was a caption that read "No longer down under!" LOL!!

ZZ Top??

"Vintage" might be a good word. Like a Napoleonic-era wine!!

So...get off your lawn??

LOL!! Beethoven with "The Look!" Almost like my dad, when he "disapproved", would give this "ahem" kind of cough and push his glasses up on his nose. You knew then that he didn't appreciate something!!

OK...I hope this doesn't offend (if so, I'll remove it). A joke I heard: What do you get when you cross a dyslexic with an insomniac and an agnostic?? Someone who stays awake all night contemplating the existence of a Dog.

Thanks for that! Beats the hell out of the "Baby Shark" ear-worm!! Unless Beethoven composed that? Hmmmm.... (ducks, before @Maestrobjwa throws a brick at me for blaspheming Ludwig van in such a manner!!)

But hey...at least it has a legend!!!

The United States, circa 1780???

I guess that would qualify as "zero stars out of five" for a review?

I do remember that, when it went to separate regions. Some people liked it, others didn't care for it at least initially. I think partly because there are good posters that people liked to hear from each region, even if they were looking for different things. But it did get difficult following events for your particular area, when you heard various interpretations. And yeah, nobody around here cares to read all about Boston getting hammered by a blizzard when there's nothing in this area. In the end, I think the regionalized format is much better and prefer it to the previous almost free-for-all discussions.

Whelp...on to the overrunning event early next month!! Right?! Right?! I have to say, looking at the NAM output from yesterday's 18Z vs. today's is like bizarro world. It's almost funny, the contrast.

You only need to worry about that in April, if you have substantial investments in brass...

C'mon, Yoda! Use the force to nudge it west and help us out here!

Not celebrating. But we did have a celebrity death-match going on for awhile!!

Who cares? By the time it ended, we had some 5" or there about, which is a hell of a lot better than we normally could expect. If that ends up being it, that's a big win for pretty much everyone here.
