My Lists

Back before I found a way to build links to Skippy's whole then-missing archive, I was compiling lists of old posts in categories that I thought were interesting. For those who are new readers of my #1 favorite news source, I think that the Sidebar at Enjoy Every Sandwich is the best place to get a good general overview of what's going on there. The sidebar here is a good second place, and these lists might be a good third. The anti-Catholicism list, and the Lindsay Lohan list are probably my favorites. But I'm in the middle of reading through the whole archive, so my #1 spot may change when I finish that.

One important thing about really good Scotch is you don't swill the good stuff. You sip your Johnny Walker Black until you're good and buzzed, then maybe switch to the Red, unless you have a good job, and then Black is cheap enough to just keep sipping until you are really good and high. Jameson, being a bit cheaper and simpler is another good one to just sip away at. That's why it displaced Johnny Walker years ago as my number one favorite thing ever put in a bottle by the hand of man. But something like 18 year old Macallan, you would be wasting that if you drank it when you're already drunk. It's definitely a bad idea to drink more than a little of that at a time. If you must drink more after that, switch to something in a big plastic bottle or something. The same rule applies to Skippy's archive. Sometimes, you'll be having a good time and just want to keep going. You miss good details if you go too fast. Everybody's reading pace is different, but it's a good idea to be aware of the point of diminishing returns and just bookmark where you were, and keep reading and maybe drink some more. Then you can come back to where you left off before you got really high and see how many details you missed.

So here are the lists, there may be more later.

Lindsay Lohan
The Stones
The hatefuck with the one true church
Ask skippy
Cock Hog: The Legend of Larry Craig
Romance
