i've been out of touch with TV for awhile, but is letterman even considered funny anymore?

i've had more humorous discussions about giacamo being good enough to win this years ky derby!

He's on his fifth bucket of mint juleps

I know some guys at the Derby Party I was at who had that many.

As Shaggy would say; "It wasn't me!"

Ok, ok. *Raises hand.* It was me.

Are mint juleps allowed at the Spaaaa???:D

At times. Mostly a good glass of cabernet at night and a few beers on the weekends. I splurged on Derby day and had a few mint juleps... only a few. :p

I had exactly 6... the size of a derby glass.

Yuck!!!:eek:

I didn't enjoy many of them, but that one was good enough for me.

It's mostly ice...watered down bourbon. Gets better/sweeter as the ice melts. I think it's very good. On a hot Kentucky day in the sun I could easily go 10 deep. :D

Uh yeah... 10 deep and I'd be getting my stomach pumped.

Nah, you'd be alright... That's only about half a bottle of Woodford.
