Doom Gifts 2012

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

The the getting begin. First up: Glenlivet 12. The parents of the kids usually give us wine, but I guess the word got out that I don't drink wine, hence whisky.

Isn't that what Dracula says? I don't drink Wine. I knew it. We live with a Yeti Vampire.

[Drunk Monk]

We no longer live the Yeti. Neither of us do, Greg. We lived to tell...

I know, I know, the scar tissue, the PTSD flashbacks and those horrible reoccurring rashes make it seem like it was just yesterday, but in fact, it was over two decades ago...

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

I was thinking more in a general sense as in a Yeti Vampire lives among us.

[Drunk Monk]

Who is more accurate? :?

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

Is there something you need to tell us?

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Ahem. Back on the subject. Another whisky, this one called "Smokehead". It is an Islay single malt, but made as a gimmicky "you can't handle the peatiness!!!" tipple. Not from any distillery that I'd ever heard of, flashy packaging. Not mature, needs some water to smooth it out and prevent the burn.

Also, a bottle of red wine.

...and it's to be shared with the rest of the office. A box of fresh pecans in the shell from our printer and a box of little cake treats from one of our models.

We also got DVD/BRD of Ted and The Bourne Legacy, because of a snafu in the promoter's shipping, but that doesn't really count.

Is there something you need to tell us?

There's this old story you told me once about living with Scapino and simultaneous cold sores...ahhhh, makes me chuckle just thinking of it...

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

More wine. Re-gifting. Kinda wish I liked wine as some of these parents run restaurants and are s'posed to know their stuff.

[Drunk Monk]

$10 starbucks card (I never go there), $25 target card, keychain Skil LED flashlight, red Aero shirt (whaaaaaaaa?), gift box of tazo teas (I avoid tazo), and two bottles of whiskey (J.B. & Johnny Walker Red...eh...)

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Another bottle of whisky from a student who *knows*. Lagavulin Distiller's Edition (1996).

nice!

[Drunk Monk]

Lagavulin Distiller's Edition (1996).

wanna trade for a bottle of J.B.? No? Maybe I should ask after you've drank that smokehead....

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

More wine (all regifted) a nice box of individually wrapped pineapple cakes (like fig newtons, but twice as thick and filled w/ pineapple) (shared). Ardbeg 10. Not yet shared.

When we were at The Original Pantry today, tQ surreptitiously bought breakfast for all the boys in blue at the next table. Unfortunately, two more officers joined the original foursome after we left. I wonder how that conversation went?

[Drunk Monk]

Got lots of bottles. Several bottles of oil (two huge olive oils and a gourmet oil set - nice but not organic and that's a huge issue with oil). Some lousy bottles of wine. Some Inniskillin (?), some liquor filled chocolates, Suntory Whiskey and a 10 year Laphroiag. Ended up with 4 bottles of whiskey. Go figure.
