  1. I've actually been pretty impressed by his intelligence so far. He dresses like an 80's breakdancer, but he seems to have a keen eye for strategy and a sense of what's going on around him. Unlike Aubrey, who is probably plenty smart in her real job, but is clueless in this game. That was one of the better episodes of the season, and it's been a pretty interesting season. Strong players in the jury that can affect the game from there, as well as by coming back in. Going to be interesting how devenz and gay dude save face and get back into good graces after being on the wrong side of the last vote.
  2. tried all 5 of the btac selections last weekend. was not as impressed with them as i was the year before. had a sample of the pappy 23 right after and it blew me away. much better than any of the btac's. one thing i learned though, one of them (either the sazerac or the handy) had 73% angel's share, so they only ended up with 23 barrels. no wonder we can't find this shit.
  3. I'm leaning towards Tyrion taking the iron throne. he comes from a villainous family, but is he really a villain? people like him because he's an underdog. he's kind of a compromise. I would prefer arya over everyone. jon and daeneyrs have done a good job and negotiated treacherous waters to get here but them winning the game of thrones is too predictable.
  4. a sweep of baylor would be sweet redemption and get the train back on the tracks.
  5. I go once a week, every friday during lunch. very rarely do i need to go back, and very rarely do i shop anywhere other than heb. i keep a running grocery list during the week, go through coupons and recipes on thursday so i have a rough idea of the menu for the coming week and include all those ingredients on the list.
  6. saw something on cspan last night where they showed a campaign ad from a lady running in virginia or north or south carolina, some southern state, and she brings up aoc in her tv spot. she has 30 seconds to lure voters in with something positive about herself, and instead blows it talking about aoc. voters in nc have no oversight or say in what representatives from ny do. representatives in nc have no oversight or or say in what voters in ny do. this goes to show how triggered the right is about her and how they can't stop talking about her. they have made her a superstar.
  7. my favorite exchange was between barry and his girlfriend about her being there for him.
  8. synodontis cats were my jam. i probably had 20 of them at one time, in three different tanks. was an addicted collector.
  9. Victoria is a stone cold lying bitch. I cant believe how good she is at it. kind of scary actually. backstabbing is the norm and expected on this show, but she looks you straight in the eye and reassures you you're fine and aren't getting voted out tonight. she's becoming the queen of conning people into not playing their idols. the gay dude is flying under the radar, and must have more pull than we've thought thus far. wentworth and two other girls were strong for devens, some others were strong for wentworth, but the gay dude was strong for joe and he won out over some pretty authoritative figures. will be interesting to see if he is actually calling the shots.
  10. there's rumored to be some single barrel weller antique there, as well as some single barrel EC. last year i was not expecting to see all the birthday bourbons there, but they must have had at least 6 years worth. that was a popular booth to say the least.
  11. Uhhhhh, care to share the details of this nirvana? I have no idea what you're talking about, but I want to go to there. do i need to google that for you? i think this is the third year of it. i missed the first year. it's a blast. with the vip tickets you had your choice of either the pappy or the btac tasting. last year i could do both. 10 of the best bourbons on the market in a two hour period. this year they are at the same time so i had to pick and chose the btac. i'm hoping there will be some other rare bourbons there too, aka weller and elijah craig.
  12. super pumped about the whiskey social in houston this coming saturday. my second time to go. sampling all 5 btac's, as well as about 200 other bourbons and scotches. last year i sampled all 5 pappy's too, as well as about 6 different years worth of birthday bourbons.
  13. I'm a fan of the show. Giamatti's acting, not so much. He would have been good in the 40's and 50's when everything was overly-dramatic and emoted. These first two episodes of this season have been great though.
  14. i liked her before but this season she was super dumb. did you see that montage they did of all the clips of her going around to every single tribemate saying you "i want to work with you. you remind me of me". she said those exact same sentences to at least 5 people. nauseating and super stupid. they all knew it too from the get go. she tried too hard this season. her success in the past may have been because she kept a low profile and stayed out of the fray.
  15. this season is interesting in the high number of worst survivor players ever. rheeme? she's a shitshow. aubrey? damn, she totally misread everything going on with her tribe. no clue, no vibe, no spidey senses. had an idol and an advantage and wasted them. that was an epic fail. but yeah, wendy was not even playing as far as i can tell. no social game, no strategy, no bonds, friendships, or alliances. and to be so happy she was voted out was an odd reaction. i think she is mentally handicapped.
  16. you're going to the state park?
  17. nice score!
  18. pelosi's hand gestures are the worst, imo. they annoying and over the top that i find myself fixated more on them than what she's saying.
  19. I loved how his gushing praise when he saw it was "this fridge is so adequate". All he wanted in a fridge was an adequate one. the other thing that cracked me up was him coming across the climbers that were camping on the ledge, one of them wearing unicorn pj's. i would love to hear his thoughts when he came across them, what they said to each other (he was cruising, and on a mission, so it was a very short convo), and what the campers thoughts were upon seeing him moving so fast and if they even noticed he didn't have ropes.
  20. any tips for free shows, or shows a normal peon had a chance at getting in, thurs night, fri day or night, or saturday?
  21. i saw liz cheney walking with the queen
  22. I would love to hear Seinfeld's thoughts on both shows. he does such a great job breaking down comedy, and comics, in his series. I like that he's gotten interested in the art form, instead of just making money on it.
  23. almost always the detectives would start the case with the last person to see her alive, and then go from there - to where she was going next, which would be don's. the case could have started and maybe ended there, but certainly should have started there. but they hardly seem to be interested in him. if he wasn't available to answer question until 1:30 am, could it be because he was busy digging a grave perhaps?
  24. prayer for owen meany
  25. Get out
