The lair of Lars J. Nilsson. Contains random musings on beer, writing and this thing we call life.
I took an important decision yesterday: I did not buy another electric bass! Although I really, really wanted to! Instead I bought some wine and whisky! Hurray!Here: Mortlach 21 Years Old Dalwhinnie 15 Years Old
fungrimSo, via Whiskyblog I hear that Bruichladdich is planning to rebuild the distillery in Port Charlotte, on the site of the old Lochindaal distillery. Although the entire machinery will come from the defunct Inverleven. In any case, another Islay distillery? Fungrim says hell yes!Hm… Which reminds me, it’s high time I pay my [...]
fungrimItem no. 1: Via Jim Downey at Unscrewing the Inscrutable, a perfect example on what religious law will give you. I imagine it wasn’t that much different in Europe some hundred years ago. This is the shit: a boy and a girl, walking together in public even though they were not yet married. According to the Supreme Court’s [...]
fungrimFor some reason, this cheered me up to no end. Imagine a room full of confused bean-pushers: What do you mean “not maximizing revenue”?

You see, I have this performance on DVD. And… Watching Casta Diva nearly brought me to tears, which is a rare thing indeed. If you’re one of those [...]
fungrimYes, we know. Although t-shirt hell said it better, in a shirt which isn’t in stock any more: If I can build a computer I can make you cum.
fungrimTonight the firebird will rise from the ashes, spring will come again and the son be reborn. Funky stuff. Although, as folk tales go, the execution of Christ seems rather unimpressive. And illogical too, I mean, how on earth is that supposed to save us? And lets see, Jesus gets one day of torment and one day of death and then he’s [...]
fungrimAs easter is… semi-important for the Christians among us, I thought it prudent to do a few more posts than usual these days. If nothing else, there’s so much one can make fu… comment on.So here’s some etymology for you reading pleasure.Swedish word “påsk” seems taken straight from the Christian school [...]
