Here's your T&T. I read "The Deer Hunter" and saw the movie. Parts of it were real, and parts were fantasy. The Russian Roulette symbolism was a little strong. I won't see "Born on the Fourth of July." "Platoon" was decent, but unreal in a way. Platoon Sergeants don't hunt and shoot one another. One day Hollywood will wake up and make a realistic movie about VN. Just telling the story without all the political comment and symbolism would be much more dramatic. "Saving Private Ryan" was a great film. Like the man said, "If finding Pvt. Ryan is my mission, and finding Pvt. Ryan earns me the right to go home to my wife and family. Then that's what I'm going to do." NW

K - A scotch virgin??? How appropriate. As it happens you have one of the premier scotch aficionados in all creation attending the party. I would recommend a short course in how to discriminate among the major scotch producing regions, along with a brief exercise in determining which malts from each region are particularly definitive. This requires you to drink about 30 "wee drams" of the appropriate test material, but it is well worth the effort. Most of the "popular" single malts sold in the US are speyside malts but I prefer the Isley malts. Suggest you start with Laphroig...
