Hello Stubby. Ho Ya do? Welcome among the living. Last I heard you were
compangion to your bar-floor. Did it escape?

You should know abuot Scotch-making, shouldn't you. Otherwise you can
always ask your friends,  Grants , how they are doing.
And I have once payed a visit to one of your other friends in Scotland at Dalwhinnie.
Do you know this place? They did an exellent Whiskey.
