11. I haven't been
It's a fact.

It's one of the few California parks I haven't yet been to.

But at some point I will need my 100 for San Benito, and then I will go.

12. A friend brought some of that Icelandic Reyka vodka
Which put me in a nostalgic mood--my dad says I was conceived at the bottom of a vodka bottle. :patriot:

14. If it isn't cold it tastes like lighter fluid
Because naturally no one refigerates that.
