#1 The grass whiskey in this place is okay, but don't ask for it on the rocks - they use real rocks.

#2 They call it Makkolli, we call it anti-freeze. Since they don't have cars, they might as well drink it.

#7 "What grains?"
"Fescue works well..."

Damn! The answer was under my very nose. I have been specifying actared fescue for revegitating earth fills. And I could have been making liquor with it.

#9 So the Koreans are finally discovering that you can ferment anything with sugar in it. A friend of mine beat them to that in high school, 40 years ago. He'd try to ferment anything, including oak sap and crushed overripe persimmons. Muscadine wine is gooooooooodddd! Don't think he ever tried grass, though...

Bah! Real rocks? As if! Only here in America do we serve Martinis on real rocks.

New York hotel offers $10,000 martini

Best part of the entire article is the Dorothy Parker quote:

Today, Parker's ode to the martini adorns hotel napkins: "I love a martini -- but two at the most. Three I'm under the table; Four, I'm under the host."
