I want to know why getting a back scratch feels sooooo good... and why getting my back scratched feels better than skin getting scratched anywhere else.
I think reviewing by any increments is arbitrary because a cigar can shift flavors whenever it wants and can do so dozens of times (theoretically). But they have to have some way of simplifying the transitions to make a review practical, and thirds is probably the best way to do it.
I wish I could say the word y'all. Y'all is a great word, it addresses a group without having to say "you guys". I don't like saying you guys to a group of men and women because it feels rude to the women in the group. Saying "you people" is obviously a non starter. I can't just start saying y'all though, because I have a northern accent, so I'd sound like an idiot. I'm jealous of southerners.

It’s all in your head. Just do it. Nobody will notice unless you flinch. If they actually say anything, tell ‘‘em the truth,.. you got street cred in Tennessee. I’ll back you up.

I have lived in Minnesota most of my life and I still say ya'll. My mom is from Mississippi and I have a lot of family in the South, so I grew up hearing it said. I agree with Mr. Bob, say it if you want to, it might sound odd to your ears at first but that will change.

Has anybody else heard that true north (magnetic north) has changed by like 12 degrees? This supposedly happens every 10,000 years or so. Causes seasons to shift or something. Could this be the true cause of the "climate change" that the democrats keep blaming on the western world and our evil fossil fuels?

Well, whistles are nasty. You stick them in your mouth and blow spit into them. Unless it was common to thoroughly clean whistles,....... because of all the spit.
^^Funny^^ I've never seen the movie, might have to watch it.

I wonder who it was that made the decision that tasting notes go in thirds. Not halves. Not quarters. Thirds? Why in the hell thirds?

Halves is not enough and quarters is too many.

Especially wonder why they review in thirds when they rarely smoke the last third at all!
Great point.

Just 'you all' with a northern accent?
It doesn't sound right in the middle of a sentence to me. Hey y'all, let's go outside. Hey you all, let's go outside.
Consider youins, you'uns.
I just found out the plural of y'all... all y'all.

@ShawnOL look at my long winded post in the weather thread. I didn’t realize magnetic north had changed so drastically yet.
Good night @VegasFrank
