Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 18, 2012

It stinks for Sweetheart Bakeries, because they just shut down.

Mmmm, chocolate covered bacon.

Dogsniff, what’s wrong with you? Normally you would the first to point out that when it comes to bourbon, it’s religion… personally I worship Canadian whiskey….

“Yeah, there’s several articles on the health benefits of bourbon, but they’re all hard to read…”

Maker’s Mark for me, thanks.

Actually it doesn’t work like that, Eddie. Something can be good or even essential for your health if consumed at low to moderate levels, but bad or even lethal at extremely high levels. Even water can kill you if you drink too much in a short period of time.

As far as I’m concerned, the only difference between “bahbon” and turpentine is that turpentine is better at thinning paint. The smell and the taste are about the same. Give me a good Irish Uisge Baugh or fine Brandy instead.Of course anything can be harmful if taken to extremes. Even water can be poisonous.

@Fairportfan2That only because we don’t drink Guiness fresh, hand-pulled, and at cellar temp like they do in Ireland.

That’s…oops.

I have always said – Chocolate should be one of the basic food groups!!!

Bacon, yes… but only dark bacon.

Dark chocolate and a good dark beer. Mmmmmm….

I always said that if they really want to make a men’s cologne that attracts women, it will smell like chocolate.

good ol’ Jack…distilled right here in Tennessee

Medical cocoa.

Chocolate is filled with many wonderful benificial compounds, unfortunately the fat, sugar, and milk it is usually mixed with are not so helpfull.Bourbon, in moderation, has health benifits as well.

Excellent metaphor for how the Mises/Hayeck insights morphed into “neoliberalism!”

No thank you all, I’ll stick with Budweiser.

so her-she thinks she has a point and not diabetes…….

Allergic to chocolate and can’t stand the taste of bourbon, I am SO out of luck here.

Give me Kessler’s please……or a Club Whiskey Sour.

heard on why women love chocolate. when eating chocolate, it triggers some brain chemical that is same chemical when women fall in love. so, want to have a woman fall in love with you, bring chocolate. take her to one of those chocolate festivals. take her to that all you can eat chocolate buffet at langham hotel boston.

It seems that Danae gets a lot of her behavior from Granma.

Like supply side.

You must be a real blast at parties!

There’s another brand of Stout?

Actually, there is a very real health benefit to alcohol, in that it kills off the slowest brain cells first, thus improving one’s mind in particular, and mankind in general…Or words to that effect from Cliff Clavin…

Fairportfan2 Guiness is the nectar of the gods.Boston Irish .

or, make the poor man’s mouthwash…..cinnamon and vodka.

@Rista Unfortunately, I’m with you, I’m allergic to both… But… If they were saying that their were otherworldly health benefits to eating mangoes (as opposed to other fruits), I’d go out and buy me a tree!…

@Wiley Going to the political side would hurt my head on this one, you gave us a good twist today!… Ow! Ow! My head! My head!…

night-gaunt: That’s all right, I found it most enlightening. On the other hand, both of us would be a scream at parties. Empty the hall in no time, and have a nice quiet conversation between ourselves.

40creek whiskey for my health

I have to make fifty copies so my daughter can plaster one wall of her dorm room.

The bourbon health benefits only occur if you eat the dark chocolate with a wee dram of bourbon. .oh,and you have to be female. heeheehee.

Our gloög was created to hide the rather disappointing results of the Microbiology classes’ attempts at wine making. Yes. it did taste like battery acid!

It was political
