"I had to descend a mine in a rickety bucket in which it was impossible to be graceful. Having got into the heart of the mountain I had supper, the first course being whisky, the second whisky and the third whisky..."
Oscar Wilde talking about his 1882 visit to Colorado

Love quotations like that!
Wilde was a brilliant fellow. I've always enjoyed his work, and especialy his wit.
And he was a wild success on his lecture tour of the Wild West - mostly because he could drink all present under the table!
