I have. It was good, but then I lost 4 hours of my life.

It was the summer of '68 and I was visitin' an old HS friend in NYC   .....

I've never been able to figure out the difference between good Albers and bad Albers.  It seems like he comes in unfazed in every situation, and throws pretty nasty stuff on the corners.  90% of the time he's solid as it comes, and then he gets blown up for no explicable reason.

Has anybody had the real deal absinthe with water added over the sugar cube in a slotted spoon?

More of a manhattan guy thus far. 

And loving this Vermouth (one of 4 components of a manhattan)- uses vanilla bean for its key flavorant.

His kryptonite is coming in with men on base. He’s otherwise quite good.

Wish I could have had 8 in college.  Alternatively, only 4 but with what I know now.

My bro went into the Marines for 4 out of high school.  Only then did he get a dorm room at Md at the age of 22.   

I think he did pretty well in his extracurriculars.

I guess bad Albers is the day game after.
