  1. how's the Kentucky owl? I scored a bottle a couple of weeks ago but haven't popped it open yet.
  2. actually they put out an al young edition last year. they were sampling it at the whiskey social.
  3. I didn't say you can find it. I just used it as an example of normal markup. even in this fad industry, 2 years extra aging doesn't warrant a 400% markup.
  4. I don't get it. boone county 12 is $55. why are you paying $175 for boone county 14? 2 yrs can make a difference but nowhere near that dollar amount. pappy 10 retails for $50, pappy 15 for $80. that's 5 years more aging of a way better bourbon.
  5. scott bryant is a good addition. i'll add dressendorfer.
  6. its going to essentially be a two way race - biden vs trump. battle of the olds, both nearing 80. there could be an extremist leftist candidate, and an extremist rightwing candidate but they will both be inconsequential.
  7. not with this president in office unfortunately
  8. is that the master distiller series? this is the second edition (I missed the first) - jess motlow. he was the master distiller there from 1911-41. supposedly they're using his recipe. I wish they told you more about it. there's pretty vague info on the box and bottle labels. one thing that jumps out is its a totally different color than the standard jack, lighter actually. may mean less time in the charcoal stacks, not sure.
  9. bought 5 bottles today - jack daniels master distiller, jack daniels single barrel select (store pick), makers mark private select (store pick), amador, and Kentucky owl confiscated. guess which one i'm going to open tonight and pound down like a sailor? that's right, the $36 amador. it's not just for breakfast anymore.
  10. you'll have a good time. I enjoyed mine and would go again, but it has it downsides. the best thing imo about a cruise is the food. I don't know what cruise line you're using, but we went on royal Caribbean and the food was outstanding. soups, desserts, salads, entrees, pasta all fantastic. if you don't gain 10 lbs you didn't do it right. I smuggled in a bottle of bourbon in my suitcase but since then I've heard they actually xray your bags to prevent people from doing that. they make a shitload of money off alcohol sales so its strictly forbidden for you to do that, but i'd try it anyway.
  11. I was always more fond of the sleeper hold
  12. sounds like we are all in agreement that Kelly made way too much of a spectacle of herself. she managed to make tribal all about her, and she's basically not even playing any more. on extinction island she's all sad and mopey but back in the game she shines like a celebrity. I hope she's not the one that makes it back in. and rheem? sonofabitch is there a more negative worthless player in the history of the game? why is she even still hanging on? all the others there are worthy of getting back in. back to the real game, if the girls somehow manage to vote on ron and devens, then they'd be left with aurora, victoria, julie, and lauren. that would be super interesting. every season there's been a star, with two cling ons going to final. very little suspense. clearcut who has played the hardest. of those 4? they've all been cling ons. none of them have stood out or been a leader, so it would be cool to see how that would shake out.
  13. jack allens is like a z tejas. decent but never been raved about, so hard to call it overrated. its rated about right. kind of an upscale bennigans or chilis. try his seafood place across the street. it's not overrated, imo.
  14. they showed extinction island already. he wasn't there either.
  15. I feel like I must have missed an episode. where in the fuck is david?
  16. that is his signature tone, but he hasn't always had it. in the early days he was more country/folky, and he played a gretsch then, right? what's the first album that this tone came out on? rust never sleeps maybe? I have live weld and it seems like pretty much every song is coming through this distortion.
  17. that's exactly the situation dany is in with jon.
  18. I don't believe there is a "without sabotage" situation when axe has his mind on sabotage.
  19. what the hell happened to wendy? is she really going after taylor, or helping axe go after taylor? she's stooping to the low blow, slimeball tactics of axe. I always thought she had more morals and ethics.
  20. I never thought about that dude killing barry, or even putting him in his sights. I do think its hilarious that pretty much everyone in the class has quit even trying, and they just stand around and laugh and clap the dude on the back for how great a shooter he is. pretty much the exact same thing barry's soldier buddies did.
  21. i agree with all that. i've probably spent a week on vacation in 7 cities total - paris, halifax, santa fe, new orleans, cozumel, dc, winnipeg. paris was the only one where i felt like i could stay longer.
  22. a week wasn't long enough in paris.
  23. I thought the way they integrated the title sequence in the opening scene was extremely creative. i'm kind of hoping you're wrong about barry and cousineau, and hope they can and do change. the whole show is about barry changing, and so far he hasn't killed anyone yet, and is training his successor (who appears to be coming along nicely). cousineau seems to have just had the realization that he's a selfish asshole after Janice got killed. what would be nice plotline to me is if barry and cousineau helped each other be the new people they both want to be. barry could help him with his son, and cousineau could help him act out the secret killer he really is.
  24. a week is too long to spend in any American city. I would suggest new Orleans (aquarium, wwii museum, you could day trip to some plantations down old river road out towards baton rouge, take in some history, not to mention the best food in the usa). second choice would be key west. not to stay in key west but to hub out of there for the week and visit all the keys (snorkel, scuba dive, lay on the beach, etc.)
  25. they definitely wrote themselves out of that corners. fuchs is off the hook, barry stays out of jail has barry killed anyone this season?
