  1. I tear up every time at the end when one of the men recite the famous line from Henry V. I’m 58 and my age group (+/- 5 years) didn’t fight a major war. My great regret in life is not serving in the military.
  2. The late Dick Harmon (Butch’s brother) on his weekly radio show on 610 with John and Lance said Tiger would tip the locker room guys at Champions about $50 each during the Tour Championships that were held there. Most pros, who only made a fraction of what Tiger made, would tip several hundred dollars to each attendant. Tiger has always been a cheapskate.
  3. And there’s the one about the 15 second fart on the set of The Princess Bride. Imagine that on a flight.
  4. If I recall the story correctly Natasha Richardson, Liam Neeson’s wife, fell on a ski trip and hit her head. My memory is that she was not wearing a helmet. She died a couple of days latter.
  5. Fraud aside, loans to or equity investments in a restaurant are risky things. Losing 100% of such an investment doesn’t mean you got fucked over. That said, I am not aware of the facts surrounding the investments made by the posters here.
  6. I’ll be the cynic. I’ve tried several of the honeys mentioned in this thread. They all taste pretty much the same to me. I once tried a jar of orange blossom honey and I might have gotten a hint of orange flavor but it could have just been my imagination. To me, it’s like different brands of granulated sugar. The same goes for many IPAs and many bourbons. It’s possible I have a shitty palate. As for honey, I usually buy local stuff for the hoped for allergy benefits.

    I know it’s not the same thing, but I can’t get fava beans and a nice chianti out of my head.

    All of it or just a bite? That’s fucking disgusting.
  9. It’s vodka. Tasteless grain alcohol. It’s what I buy for mixing. High end vodka is all marketing.
  10. Silver Fox was one the courses I played. It was many years ago but it was very good.
  11. So no more fried turkey in peanut oil? I say just eat fried foods in moderation. My downfall is fries. I try to limit them to a couple of times a month.
  12. In the past year or so we transferred a car title to one of my adult children and it took a few weeks to get the title as they said it would.
  13. They aren’t that smart. Whatever (doubtful) loyalty they might lose would soon be forgotten. I’m talking about raising the prices to a more reasonable level, not that it has to come close to the secondary market level. Bordeaux producers have been doing it in a smart way with their wine for many, many years. Vintages for wine are a little different than a distilled spirit, but they have a huge global market as does bourbon.
  14. The producers are morons for not raising prices on what the market sees as a superior product. Why let others reap the reward of your skill?
  15. Check the wheels and make sure they are not slipping. The gears can get worn and if one of the wheels doesn’t turn in sequence with the others it can make the device turn slightly and it will eventually get tied up. That happened to me. It was an easy fix to replace the wheel.
  16. It’s been many years but the course at Crandon State Park on Key Biscayne was nice. It’s close to Miami Beach. The courses at Doral were very good.
  17. Those are not kolaches. They look mighty tasty though.
  18. Wow. Most hunters knew about the doe issue in the mid 70’s.
  19. Many, if not most, new 4 irons have the loft of old 3 irons. That’s one of the main reasons shots travel farther with the new generation of irons. That’s the case with my relatively new Ping G400s.
  20. And I’ve gone through that many because of moves. I’ve never had to replace one.
  21. My last three dishwashers have been two Bosches and a Miele. All of them have been very good.
  22. I assume you mean water temp. I had mine in Houston for 4 years without a problem. But the water temp probably only went below 50 a handful of times. Still, unless you live in the panhandle I would do the SWG and if I had to supplement the chlorine I would add Clorox every few days. When the water is that cold the chlorine demand is very low.
