validate me! or not.

Dear friends, back in the mists of time when I was a callow undergraduate studying abroad (and occasionally wearing exactly the same shirt I am wearing today, now that I think about it, which wasn't new even then - in another year, my clothes will be eligible to vote), my friends and I came across a product called Heather Cream. It was - in fact, it apparently markets itself as - essentially Baileys, but made with Scotch instead of Irish whiskey. And we loved it! It was delicious! And I've never seen it since then, not even when I was living in England, which is much nearer Scotland than I live now.

So I may be inflating the marvelousness of this stuff in my mind. Please understand that I'm assuming for the sake of this argument that Baileys is good. :-) If you don't like Baileys, the odds are decent that you won't care for Heather. But if you do like Baileys, at least in concept, doesn't it stand to reason that as Scotch is better than Irish whiskey, Heather will be better than Baileys? Or am I bound to be disappointed if I ever do manage to get my hands on a bottle, and discover that when I was twenty years old I didn't know a damn thing, and tasting it now will ruin what was a perfectly good and tranquil memory?

Thoughts?

also, star wars again

Something else I realized when talking to ellen_fremedon about Star Wars the other day was - well, I've known for yonks that I couldn't really get behind Han/Luke, for hand-flaily reasons that can really only be articulated "but ... but ..." until you get to the point at and after the end of RotJ where you can't get Han and Luke together without erasing Leia. (There is one woman in this movie. One! CAN'T WE KEEP HER?!)

But that's later. Somehow I got my thinking around to, earlier, I think of Han as frankly an awful lot like sort of the inverse (converse?) of Jack Harkness - that is, I expect in his travels he'd quite cheerfully shag anyone and anything that would hold still long enough, and then given the choice of whom to settle down with, he'd pick a human female. (Well, he did, didn't he?)

Anyone who would care to write me a Star Wars/Torchwood crossover with Han and Jack in it is welcome to do so.

Everyone else: discuss? :-D
