Khukuri Rum, could we get some?

WrongFriend: Sorry for the delay responding.
After looking thru what I could find, I think the quote might have come from "Revolt in 2100". At least that seems to be in keeping with that particular book's theme.

It could also have been attributed by Heinlein to his character Lazarus Long, aka Woodrow Wilson Smith, the Senior of the Howard families. I can't remember the title, but the big thick novel about him had breaks between sections that listed several aphorisms. That could be where it's from.

Forgot to add my new signature.

The Heinlein quote is from Beyond This Horizon.

I recognize the new tag line, too, but at the moment I can't recall who wrote it ... I have a feeling there's more to the poem but I'm not sure of that, either ... too lazy to look it up right now....

Thanx Rusty, and Cougar!
The long story of Lazarus Long is..."Time enough for love"?
It has been too long for me to reread, first time I read it I worked on the book whole day and when I got tired I slept on it as a pillow.
Now I try to find a republished one.

So good things in his books. I grew up with his "Starship Troopers". Far better in book than in movie though the staffs' efforts to make it as close as possible to the original story.

Oh how you remind me of old friends. Lazarus Long and the Number of the Beast. There are too many not remembered details that hide in the dark places of my mind. I will have to reaquaint myself with that particular reality post haste.
A short synopsise of my drinking carrier. I have drank Jack Daniels since I was twelve, Stoli since 13,Myers since 14, Bushmills since 15,Sambuka since 16, Kirkwall since 18, Guiness since 18 and many sundry tastings of other potables in my travels. I do not partake much now of the noble result of the still but have found a new desert called "Highland Mist". It goes well with the winter evenings. When I can sit back with a glowing bowl of Cavendish and a warm fire to gaze into with quiet rememberence.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

"The Number of the Beast"! That's the one I've been racking my brain over - Deja Thoris Burroghs and Captain John Carter.

But I thought that "Time Enough For Love" was the one about Johan Sebastian Bach Smith...
oh well, I'm used to being confused.

The one you're thinking of, Rusty, is I Will Fear No Evil. That's the one where the zillionaire gets his brain transplanted into his secretary's body. (I should probably explain she was dead at the time.)

Many people think that was the book where Heinlein started showing signs of senility, but I thought he was still hanging in there pretty well until Friday or so, and even at the last he could still write a great hook....

Tunnel in the Sky, a much earlier Heinlein, has a lot in it about how wonderful the knife is, the most basic human tool. Lots there for survival buffs, too.
