WHY?

who cares – not me

Can’t  be  true

Maybe Webby aka MC can confirm with all his connections.  I am sure it would be of interest to the SS community either way.

Scotty, be forewarned, you don’t want Stan as your nemesis.  He is cruel beyond your imagination.  I got his goat once and he proceeded to torture me by getting me drunk on his favorite grappa, showed me pics of his BOAS in her VS outfit and then tied my hands all the while dangling Carnell’s huge thong in front of my face.  Makes Guantanamo look like kiddy camp.  Stay on his good side!!!!!!

Then why would someone think you are after me? Have given you reason to think I am after you?
Dr. Scott

I appreciate that.
I did call you Scotty earlier, but just in jest, as you were responding to an old.post. I realized later that the post you responded to irritated you. I figured you had seen it long ago.
The idea of drinking Jack from a barrel is appealing (but not the whole barrel), and the only place I know of that it would be possible is Lynchburg. Do you know of another place?

I can tell you that the words do sound like Mikel’s.  I looked for the obit so I’d know where to send flowers or make a contribution. If I find something, I’ll let you know.

No problem here. I will not make a lame “Scotty” joke again.
Where do you get the barrels? One would fit nicely in my barn, that should be close to a lifetime supply. I would insist that the last several gallons be saved for my wake.

I don’t know what they cost now. But I know they used to bottle it for free. Do you prefer the regular or reserved? I will find the price of each.
Dr. Scott
 
 

My appologies, I do not know (just guessing), if Stan is your nemesis – enjoy the barrel of JD, i’m sure if you drink from that togther, you will either kill each other or become best buds.

I don’t know
I saw a post on this forum a few days ago by Dr. Mikel Harry with the announcement.

What an insane and surreal picture; “Dr.” Scott, that badly aging, prematurely old man, drunk of Jack Daniel’s with his self-acclaimed powers of his “wit”; cussing & cursing “idiot”, and “coward” into the empty, ethereal space of the internet; a self-acclaimed draggon slayer of a ghost with no name. … the reality is, he’s a mere footnote in the heroic battles of “Six Sigma” :-)))).

Get over yourself

Virtual – there’s some merit to what you just said.
I did very well for a few years from the SS training industry. However, its day has come and gone. I moved on to another industry a while back – tangential to SS but with a much better business strategy (althought its not too difficult to have a better business strategy than to be a SS training firm).
So, in my opinion, while the training company model is essentially dead, SS is alive and very well. So its fun to mess around on this site a bit and occasionally help someone and occasionally be helped.

Six Sigma is not dead?
It’s still alive and strong, its life extended with its merge with Lean, TOC, ISO, TRIZ, etc… Six Sigma is growing up and so looks different than what it was in its infancy. It’s still only a teenage and has more growing to do.
While you have made a contribution in the past with your efforts, are you willing to open your mind to new ideas, grow up some yourself, and evolve your ideas to embrace the very positive direction Six Sigma has taken? Will you be making contributions to help Six Sigma mature into adulthood?
Six Sigma may be dead in your heart but not mine. Six Sigma is not just a set of tools and methods, it’s a mindset, a belief system, a data driven and customer focused management approach.
Brandon, don’t stop dreaming, we need good leaders like you in the future.

Who told you that a PhD degree creates a mature social connoisseur such as yourself?

SIPOC, ma petite bouche.

If  you  could  only  integrate  all  those topics  into a  new comprehensive SS,you  will  be  then  the new Guru  

email me at [email protected] at give the the whole scoop. This is probably not the right place to talk about it.
Dr. Scott

Well said, brandon.
I myself switched to this pseudonym several years ago when I saw someone else had and was posting with the same given name as me- been Patch ever since and have not noticed anyone else using it, so it stuck.  I think there is even a thread between myself and Mike discussing the merits or risks of my choice.
Cheers,
Patch

Stan,
A barrel makes around 240 .750 bottles.
Each bottle is labeled “single barrel”.
A gold label is placed in the neck of each bottle with whatever you wish it to say (e.g., your name, a message like “a gift from….”, etc.)
The bottles come in cases of six each.
The barrel is varnished with your messaged purchase plate on it for you to present anywhere you wish.
You get framed collage signifying your purchase of the barrel with its number, your name, etc.
And you have a wooden plaque placed on the wall in the Lynchburg JD distillery single barrel room (one of the last rooms viewed during the tour there).
The cost is around $40 a bottle (and only by how many bottles come from the barrel due to evaporation). The price depends on where you are from, fed and state taxes, etc.
They prefer you choose the barrel yourself (at the distillery) via tastings of several different barrels. They guide you through the tasting with a master taster.
Bottom line is cost is somewhere between $9000 and $10000 (again depending on taxes).
Regards,
Dr. Scott
 

Try to contribute something of value here please.

Brandon,
I have been off most of the past couple of weeks. I have been doing a bit of billable work from home. Guess some clients miss me when I want a break.
But, thanks for the reference.
Dr. Scott
 
 

Hello again BTDT,
Here is how it works, what I told Stan. Now let’s all get back to work.

I like the choose your own barrel option.This is going to take a little justifying to the boss, but what do you
think about a barrel tasting/choosing party in April? I’m going to
Nashville for pleasure anyway and it gives me time to work the
homefront, choose just the right location in the living room (I think
next to the 62″ plasma), clear out space in the wine cellaretc.We can invite Darth and Mike to the barrel choosing and get a taxi
back to Nashville.What do you think?

This is work Maynard. You think it’s easy keeping up with these guys?

Darth – I like Dr. Scott’s suggstion. I’ll take your one-fourth if you
don’t want it, just want to know if you are in for the selection process.
I’ll also do this with some good tequila if you have a suggestion and a
legal method to do such a thing. I have the storage capability for the
whole thing in a climate and temperature controlled environment if
needed.

So are you in for a selection process? You can be the designated driver.

I have …. you’ll learm more about in in the next couple years, still preparing it’s launch.

I believe isixsigma.com’s forum has become more of social forum rather than six sigma discussion forum because most of the postings and answers are junk..
Lets say every post is a unit and replies within the post as oppurtunity. How many defects are there? considering every junk/unrelated post/reply to be a defect.

You  should  be  proud  to  receive  such  a  “Cetificate” from  Stan
It  is  not  usual

You forgot MB,ATI and me? Why  is  that?please explain

Stan
What  about Googling you? 

Good  luck  with  your  pioneering  effors

I  jnow  several idiots  who  pretend  to  have PhD

Honestly you are  great expert (with  great  respect)
But  where is the real accrington?

Dry refers to the selling of alcohol, not the consumption. All through the south, the “dry” counties have what are refered to as brown bagging. Drinking is prevalent. Employees of Jack have been given a pint as part of their pay for years.

Dr. Scott, didn’t you recently apologize for such useless posts? This is a Six Sigma forum, not an alcoholic forum.

Dr. S – you must be like me – I’ve got a great memory, it’s just short!

Virtual Insanity,
I apologize if I have somehow insulted you in the manner you have me. It was not my intention. Nor, is it my intention to stylize myself as a “marble statue”. As far as the title “Dr.” goes, I do have a PhD in Business Administration from a top 25 university. A PhD I am proud of, and have used to make contributions in a number of venues.
I don’t charge $3K a day. I am however often contracted by firms that charge the client that or more for my services. I only get my contracted share of that. I have been paid that for single day speaking engagements however, but I am not bragging about it in any way. That is just the way it is.
And you are correct, I should not use terms like idiot or fool here. I am sorry to say that I sometimes allow my emotions to get the better of me at times when I am attacked for no reason. Still, that is no excuse.
As far as the Jack Daniels goes, I do like it. But if you read all of the posts, I was only answering questions asked of me. Furthermore, I even suggested to one person that we take that discussion offline, and apologized to another for breaking my own rule. Discussions like that do not belong here in the forum, I unfortunately was only having a bit of fun. And I apologize yet again for allowing myself to do so.
And finally, you don’t have to take me seriously, unless you have a need I can help you with. However, the challenge was real. Sort of like when someone says you can’t swim and that they can beat you swimming any day. Again, probably not the most professional response I could have made, but I made it. It was a challenge I think can be justified to make to a degree. Unfortunately, the person attacking me without cause still has not responded, and has not responded for his/her insults.
At any rate, I apologize again if I have somehow rubbed you wrong. I prefer to help and receive help here, not make enemies.
Sincerely,
Dr. Scott
 
 

Take this as a lesson. You should not have any fun if it is professional.

Another correction. He is not a Dr. He is a ME and a good old boy trying to be a cowboy.

Vic,
Thanks for your kind response. BTW, I am a karma believer too :).
Best regards,,
Dr. Scott
