Amaretto? For a tailgate? I call that putting on airs.

Minimalism works for me.

They certainly aren't Southern Baptists either.

Read and Associated Press story the other day about the 1968 Harvard-Yale game in which Harvard tied the Elis at the end of the game to prevent Yale from a perfect season. Yale had Calvin Hill as running back. The Crimson had an offensive lineman, Tom *Tommy Lee" Jones. Good story. Even though they tied, Hill said it was Monday before he realized Yale hadn't lost the game.

Is that a bottle of Stoly? The Marlboros say the host is young. That huge RV in the background is not minimal.

That's not amaretto -- it' s tequila!

I think Ketel One is the vodka on the left. The other might be Absolut or Grey Goose or something. Can't make out the black bottle by the cooler.

Seized whiskey going down drain

NASHVILLE, TENN. - Here's a sobering thought: Hundreds of bottles of Jack Daniel's whiskey, some of it almost 100 years old, may be unceremoniously poured down a drain because authorities suspect it was being sold by someone without a license.

Officials seized 2,400 bottles late last month during warehouse raids in Nashville and Lynchburg, where the whiskey is distilled. Authorities are still determining how much of the liquor will be disposed of and how much can be sold at auction.

Tennessee law requires officials to destroy whiskey that cannot be sold legally in the state, such as bottles with broken seals.

The estimated value of the liquor is $1 million, possibly driven up by the value of the antique bottles. One seized bottle dates to 1914, with its seal unbroken.

Well, Jazzy, I know one person who may break out in hives over you announcement. Click on Cato.

Nooooo not the 100 year old whiskey!!! That's just wrong... shouldn't there be credit for bootleggers with damn good taste and a whole lot of restraint?

Dang, Jazzy, say it ain't so!
Tennessee authorities should just take possession of it and sell it to the highest bidder. Tossing a million dollars down the drain is just stupid.
Thank God for Tennessee!

I saw/heard of a lot of pot-growing busts in these Ozark Hills for the past 30 years. Most of the time most of the dope never got destroyed. I imagine a few of those Tenn authorities-cops know how to handle legal inventory matters. They also know who will pay what it's worth.
