Stopped paying attention (and money) to Johnnie Walker when they ruined their Gold brand. What I wouldn’t pay for a bottle of that liquid heaven.

No; I must not be “woke”. I am still waiting for Maxine Waters to star in an “Impeach 45” malt liquor add.

Back in my bourbon-drinking days I could be quite the lesbian. Albeit in a man's body....

Hmmm, I would have thought it would have been “Joannie Walker.”

No one can replace Johnnie Walker.

Why not a trans Johnnie Walker scotch? I will not drink it until they do.

Why not a tranny Johnnie Walker on the label? You can skip a gaye one. Gaye is boring and not cutting edge.
