You can't say "Philistine" without its appropriate preface: "heartless."
Heartless Philistine.
It's one of those words that just HAS to go with other words, like "pangs" with "guilt" and "shards" with "glass," and "peals" with "childish laughter."
If I do the hard stuff, I'm more of a bourbon guy (Knob Creek, or Maker's Mark, or Woodford Reserve), altho I can TELL a good scotch from a cheap one -- I just don't like them. Beer bloats me, and red wine gives a nicer, mellower buzz, and it just goes with the cigar real well.
OK, now i'm gonna have to fire up a Rocky after my baseball practice tonite!!
