Google says:

1 litre = 33.814 us fluid ounces

Formula

multiply the volume value by 33.814

A little more than a quart. Close enuff for R&R.(I still like half a mile)

My Balvennie is only a 12. Bloody nice though!

Stupidly, I rarely drink it because it’s expensive. But I’ve already paid for so I don’t know what I’m worried about!

Nothin' wrong with that. I surely don't expect to ever be in the position to buy any Balvenie 25.

 

[GonePlaid]

Laphroaig?

I think that's the one recommended by @Christine.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Must've been really good.

Names have always been my nemesis.

Ahhh, so that’s what you’d like to have.
Don’t be surprised if a bottle shows up at your doorstep

Reality here. A drummer friend sent it to me. Normally when he sends Facebook videos, I can't seem to post them because I'm not on Facebook. This one worked.

Only a week ago today.
Seems so longer then that.

Now if John Beresford Tipton should pick my name out of a hat...
(ya gots to be a certain age to get that one)

I always liked that show.

 

[MCF]

I know the TV program - just didn't recognize the name. It was one my family watched on our small B&W TV growing up. I was entertained by the "how money destroys peoples lives" aspect but never had illusions that something like that was 'real' or possible. This was prior to the Mega-Lotteries that followed... they should do a "Reality TV" show covering how winning these Mega-Lotteries destroys peoples lives.

Then lottery ticket sales would go down.

So these are different to the other “Chinabuckers” ?

“Modern” with ceramic magnets instead of “vintage” alnico magnets.

I'm a little surprised at how fast that all went, but it was wonderful to see everyone and as always make some new great memories with you all.

Chuck with my Orville, with some better pickups and pots, these might actually be the best Bird out there right now.

The sign says it all!

Not enough to matter. People who play the lottery either do it on a lark, or they are convinced today is their lucky day. (Yes, I'm generalizing.) You'd probably pick up some sales from people hoping to get on the show.

 

[Gaolee]

Well yah, I wouldn't get overly excited about owning a Maserati either...

Maseratis are like sailboats. You want to have a good friend who has one. You don't want one yourself.

 

[Gaolee]

think I could be persuaded…

Well, OK, that one. No problems. It would get driven a lot. I would prefer a yellow one, but in a pinch, a silver one like that would be OK.

 

[Gaolee]

I would imagine these 'vintage' Maserati's to be pricy, but no where near the cost of a new one right?

Maybe, maybe not.

 

[Gaolee]

at least twice the price of a new one depending on the model…..that right there is a 1968 Ghiblli Spyder….to put it in perspective, the most expensive car in the world is a 1964 Ferrari GTO (fetched 65M at last auction) built just a few miles away, 4 years before ….not saying that Maserati is worth that much but definitely more than a new one….

I suppose a '64 Ferrari GTO would do.

On the very rare occasion I buy a lottery ticket, it's because $2 is cheaper than a movie and the fantasy world lasts a little longer. I don't remember the last time I bought one, though. It's all been upgraded and changed and complicated. I cannot be bothered to figure it out.

Good Lord, no! Wonderful thought, though.(It'd prolly be the first time porch pirates would 'visit' me.)

'65?
