  1. ive only had one willet purple top and its  one of the best bourbons ive ever tasted.  very memorable.   it reminds me of the birthday bourbons.  unlike any other bourbon out there.

    Right person went home in my book, albeit she was one of my faves.

    maria orchestrated that one, which will put a target on her back.  seems like everyone but ben and charlie have made moves they could use with the jury.  venus really hasnt either but she thinks she has, and at least she's vocal and stirs things up.  ben and charlie are just going with the flow.

  3. dang, sierra leone was high up on my list too.  i usually shy away from picking the winner from the 1 or 2 post, so leaning towards the two justify offspring plus honor marie.  great value in all three of those, and better starting positions.

    Got a bottle of McKenna a few weeks ago after several years of not seeing any and realize that's not my profile any more.

    was at heaven hill a few weeks ago, and mckenna 10 was their best available.  no parkers heritage or old fitz, even in the vip tasting. i am always happy to get it though.  eagle rare, henry mckenna, and russell's are all automatic buys for me.  to get a quality bourbon, aged 10 years, at that price point is a value and perfectly suitable for every day drinkers.

    Hunter played that so poorly.

    Either play the fucking idol

    -OR- 

    STFU and don't tell anyone about it

    So dumb.

    hunter was never a threat to win this thing.  he was great in challenges but inept strategically.  both he and tiff were certain to play their idols, according to the edits, but neither did.  hunter was desperate for reassurances on whether he was safe or not and trusted what he heard over his instincts.  here's the way i see it:  venus and  ben have zero shot and are just hangers on.  q also has no shot because he's alienated himself.   liz would be next.  she has some smarts but maybe that dont apply to this game.  that leaves tiff, kenzie, maria, and charlie.  kenzie is the most vocal of that group, so first out.  final three is maria, charlie, and tiff.

    Strangest tribal I can remember. Was it a real blindside or just them discounting fucking Q.

    liz orchestrated that blindside.  since tevin orchestrated the soda blindside and got voted out right after, makes you wonder if liz is going next week.

    i think its safe to say that q is in an alliance of one.  maybe hunter is with him, but only because hunter is worthless strategically.   the challenges are fun to him, but strategy talk baffles and confuses him.  q turning on tiff, if i were tiff, would be a death blow.  no more confiding in him, he's on his own.   i find it peculiar, and not very smart, for him to think bringing along a goat is the old way of survivor.  its the smart way.  the time to pick off the threats is now.

  7. q is unstable and needs to go.  after throwing the whole tribal council into chaos he ended up not getting one vote.  he deserved to get all of them.

    What is the correct order of the border trilogy?  is it the border, the force, the cartel?

    I don't buy that one bit, but this ain't a good sign for where Netanyahu and his theocratic buddies want to take the country.

    netanyahu has to go

    Stagg Jr and SFTB are the best value vs secondary, but that kosher rye is such a banger.  Hard pass on the Elijah tossed ass.  

    sftb would be my pick.  its the rarest of those listed. coincidentally, its the only one i dont currently have on my shelf.

    Jem, Jem, Jem.  Oh well.  I guess that's the first person to go this season for being a threat, though if you go home with an idol in your pocket were you actually a threat?  

    there was apparently a lot the producers chose to edit out.  what we saw is maria telling charley she trusted jem more than rockandroll dick, and thats how they left it.  i got the impression charlie was swayed to vote with her but the opposite happened.  but whats peculiar is she was so convinced that she played both votes on jem.  she could have saved that for a much more crucial time (down to 6 players).  why play it now when it makes little difference whether jem or rockandroll dick goes home?  wont help her in the jury.  just wasnt a crucial time.  still, fucking the tribe over by burying the box was deceitful, so justice was served.  on top of that, she lobbied too hard, talked too much, leading up to tribal.  she should have laid low, unless everyone already knew she was the one that hid the box.  thats what i'm thinking and they just edited that out so we'd be in suspense.

    I’m going to continue to bang the drum for Australia Survivor. I just finished binging season 11 and I’d put it in the top 10 best Survivor seasons. Good cast, gameplay and challenges. The host is fine but he’s no Probst. It’s a long watch though. 24 initial tribemates, 24 episodes, 47 days on the island.  I’m going to move on to season 2 if I can find it. It’s considered the best season of  the Australian series. 

    is there any nudity in that version?

    That whole Yanu tribe sucks.  Terrible at challenges and none of them are very likeable....

    it seems every season as of late has had one tribe start off with an extensive losing streak.   would make for an interesting study in the human psyche.  they were so close to winning but jess was helpless.  the funny thing is they might have won had they had zelinsky.  tiff should have called q out on that.  she wanted jess out but he was adamant that zelinsky go instead.  that cost them the challenge.   usually weak physical players are at least good at something else - either smart, like puzzles, or at the social game.  jess was 0  for 3.  one of the worst players in the history of the show.

    there are some likable characters this season and i'm looking forward to the other tribes losing an immunity challenge so we can get to know them better.  there are also some characters i'm not sure i like - soda for example.  i want to like her. she seems sweet and caring and tries hard, but those camp songs would make me want to sleep by myself on the beach.  the rock and roll dude also seems a tad annoying.  i feel bad for the iranian chick but she does seem to have a diva mentality so most of it is self-inflicted.  my least favorite, at least in the little i've seen, is liz.  oops, i meant the one and only liz.  what the hell is going on with her?  why is she constantly bragging about how much money or how many companies or how many podcasts?  seems like she's hiding something with all the bragging.

    You do know I lived in Houston for 12 years, right?  Left in 2019, thank goodness given the shit going on in Texas since 2019.  

    seems like you've been in ny longer than that.  yes, it had started to become a foodie destination by 2019.  probably a little moreso now but what isnt?

    London trip on March 16 is all booked.  Then Paris for the weekend at the end.  

    While in London, I will be working a lot, but trying to make time for some outstanding meals.  Will hit up The Devonshire for an early Sunday dinner.  Monday night, I have dinner booked at Chishuru (the new one), though that one could change if my friend is up for meet up.  Tuesday, a colleague and I are hitting Brunswich House.  Wednesday is open so far.  Thursday, heading to The Grazing Goat in Marylebone to catch up with a bunch of former colleagues.

    I am trying to get things signed off on Thursday before I leave so I can fuck off to Paris early on Friday.  Staying at Le Roch, where I always stay.  Hitting up Lafayette's for dinner on Friday.  Lafayette's is a new Mory Sacko restaurant in the former home of the Marquis de Lafayette, which is also now a hotel.  The space looks amazing.  I have my fingers crossed that a last minute cancellation means I can get into MoSuke, but this is a grand back up plan.

    Doing lunch Saturday at Juveniles, with Saturday dinner open for now.  Then Sunday, I fly back to NYC around 4 PM with a layover in London (a very short one, so my BA status will be helpful!).  

    The second trip to London will be in April, and will be until we have our UK auditors sign our UK accounts.  Afterwards, I am still trying to decide where to fuck off to.  I was going to go to Rome, but there is a national holiday smack dab in the middle of that where everything closes.  So then have thought about Vienna, but I think I want some sun.  Looking into South of Spain or Portugal at the moment, but nothing booked on this trip at all.  And 3rd time in London this year will be in Mid-June when a new member of my team joins.  I will at that point have 5 employees in London vs. 1 in NYC and 1 in Houston.  For that one, I have no idea what I am doing.

    houston is becoming quite the foodie town.  you might be surprised.

  17. Not necessarily for catfish but there are two other great Cajun places up north - one on burnet and 183, and another in Hester’s crossing called ya’lls.

  18. Rolling rooster on wells branch and mopac. Maybe it’s red rooster. Funny thing is the sign on the back of the building, the only thing you can see heading north on mopac, says chicken and waffles.
