Of course I have Stoly. Actually Thomas keeps the bar perfectly stocked at all times. And with only the best. Or the worst if you put in a special request for it. (For instance, Gaugie likes his wine from a cardboard box.) We used to have a traditional Friday afternoon party at XXXXX with champagne and durian punch and sophisticated hors d'oeuvres. Things have deteriorated. However, I am pleased that you seem to treasure the niceties and perhaps we can bring some elegance back to the thread.
No luck with cocktail so far---but I can tell you that a "cockarouse" is an important person and a "cockabaloo" is a bullying boss.

&#133better than a rooster&#146s comb floating around in yer drink, I suppose. Still, I question the sanitary wisdom of either one. It&#146s not like yesteryear&#146s fowl had any fewer germs than today&#146s. No wonder they were plagued with foul health.
