Actually, I DID get a Christmas gift for a brother on here.....but then found
out it is illegal to mail it to him  So he'll just have to wait until I see him
again to get it....probably 2 more years (Gen Assem 2009). It'll be better then
anyway. It is a product invented in Georgetown, KY, and the one I got bears
the name of the inventor....the same guy who founded a school that later
became Georgetown College. Can anyone name this great Baptist Minister and
Inventor, and his most well-known invention??? Re-read for hints, and
think KENTUCKY

Kevin, I am going to guess and say Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey.
Ah the evil brew does some good at times!

Eli Got it! Never heard of Rittenhouse Rye....I think the "connection" you
found is just coincidence, Tom. (The school Craig founded was called
Royal Springs Academy, then Rittenhouse Academy, and finally Georgetown
College). Seems Rittenhouse Rye started in Pennsylvania.

You're right Kevin - it IS illegal. Take a look at the thread I started on December 21, 2006 for more details, and what happened when UPS found out what was in the package!

Of course I should have known....all wisdom can be found on greekchat.com!!
ha ha!
So it almost happened to you twice, Jono!  But I chickened out at the last
minute, thinking if I sent it, FBI would surround my house and fill it, and me,
with bullet holes. I bought a second bottle to send to a friend in Italy....
so I am left with two bottles (since I don't like bourbon...BAD KENTUCKIAN!)
I wonder if the Mafia has its own mail service to Italy?? hmmm.....
So you'll have to do with a weblink until we meet again:

Kevin,
As they say, it's the thought that counts - and I thank you very much for the thought!
I do look forward to seeing you again in 2009 in either Indianapolis or Boston, or both.
I wouldn't want you to get shot, but we could DO a shot.
Cheers to you too!
ZAX,
Jono

Wait, what?
Is Boston even on the table? I know I made a thread a while ago complaining about Indy getting it. Any news?

What you didnt have fun being with the G C LXA's?
Well, you were around for just a short as working to hard.
You could have come to mine and Jono's room. We held meetings of the main kind. No Bourbon of course!
Now an interesting item, if We do Boston, what is there to see, and would there be a road trip to Coles Burial site?
Educational for sure and a place of reverence to behold!
Need a plan to work out more seeing than be stuffed into rooms!

Who said anything about General Assembly? I only mentioned Boston because I will be there on November 2, 2009. It's the centennial of our founding, and the place of our founding, and that's where I will be.
Period.

Jono,
I want to be there too! I may be a bit sentimental, but I like that idea very much.
If I can make it, maybe we can share a bit of the whisky you love so much. You know, the Centennial bottle....
Yours in ZAX,
Mike Raymond
P.S.
I'll Bring the Designated Driver with me!
