Good Morfnoevight All you happy stoners.


I am really glad I had to Google it to know what it was :haha:

While free diving with a spear gun in North Bight, Andros Island, Bahamas in 30' depth, I swam around a coral head and was nose to maw with a grouper that was thicker than me. I choked and didn't pull the trigger because I figured it would just swim away with my spear and spear gun, which were tethered together with a 6' lanyard.
Oh yes, a good decision. In 1975-76 when I first started diving, hunting and gathering were the primary activities diving in the cold waters of the California coast for me and my dive partner. Spiny Lobster, Scallops and Lingcod were are preferred targets. We also learned how to clam in the inlet to Morro Bay, with 10 different good eating clam varieties and a 10 clam limit per type you could harvest 100 clams each. 200 clams makes a clam bake feast for a lot of people. We were shore diving just north of Cayucos in the kelp and about 30 feet of water when I speared (using a Hawaiian spear tethered to my arm) a large Lingcod about 30 inch and 25 pounds. This was a beginners mistake, That fish was stronger underwater than I was. I speared it too low on its body to paralyze it. It took off winding through the rocks and kelp like a demon with me in tow. I could not let go of the spear. It drug me about 100 yards before I wedged a leg between some kelp and a big rock and the real battle began. I had to win because the tether had tightened around my wrist too tight to get off. It seemed like forever for that fish to tire, probably only 10 minutes and my dive buddy finally found me. We did enjoy eating that fish but it could have been a different story if I had not got locked down to that rock. After that anything over ~10 pounds was ignored.

Correction: This whiskey is corn based but has peated malt in the grain bill.

Not like scotch, but still very good.
Fun factoid: Scotch whiskey is allowed to have caramel color added. Coloring agents are not allowed in American bourbon.
