Idk, this has more personality to it than the beige nightmare a lot of folks live in. Even if that personality smells like stale cigarettes and Cutty Sark.

    Apparently Cutty Sark is a whiskey, which presumably is what you meant, but the first DDG result is a British naval ship which ... Also kinda makes sense?

    The scotch is named after the ship

    Before the ship it was an old scottish folkstory about a guy going home on a stormy night, encountering a coven of witches, calling out out to one that had a really small shirt (cutty sark) and never being seen again Ichabod Crane style. The figurehead on the ship is what gave the ship it's name, because it was based on that story.

    I'm fine with that. Made it a point over the last 30 years to get used to looking at them. I let 'em run the house. Figure if there's enough food for a predator, best let them work for me.

    Funny note: My Filipino wife is disappointed we don't have house lizards. Aside from their obvious use, apparently they're lucky.
