And we have our first WE® of 2008.

$8K: Never had a seven and seven, but I assume that the other "seven" refers to Seagram's 7.

Yup. My "sophisticated" drink of choice in college days. Another dream question gone. *sigh*
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Meredith's rejoinder was funny - she suggested it was Regis who accused her of cheating. FWIW when my friends found out I was going to be on BAM they bought both a Trivial Pursuit game and a BAM game and I read through all of the cards in both.

Hold on there! By definition a millipede has 1000 legs (as opposed to a centipede with 100). What happened to the other legs?

It's made with Segram's 7, which is a brown whiskey. If she'd ordered one, you'd think she would have known this.

Millipedes may literally be suppoed to have 1000 legs, but as a practical matter, they do not. They were probably first called millipedes to distinguish them from centipedes, which have half the number of legs per segment. I suppose they could have been called bicentipedes, but that would've just given the dirty minds of the world something to chortle about.

I knew that. It was a futile attempt at humor.

8K: I don't drink it, but I know Seagram's 7 is a whiskey. And if I did drink 7 & 7s, I'd make a point of knowing what was in them.
