  1. interesting. my store had a store pick of buffalo trace too, and i'm pretty sure it's not the same one you're talking about. I wonder if they've offered a special deal recently, because that's not one you usually see store picks of.
  2. just go with angels envy then. it's a decent, well-respected bourbon, right in that price range, and every specs will have 2-3 different kinds. you're never going to find the blantons or eht single barrels that were suggested.
  3. never knew that. what a stupid rule. in my mind if you hide an idol and someone else finds it, it's your fault for hiding it poorly.
  4. did anyone else think it was odd that the girl that found the idol last week never even thought to bring it to tribal? i still think it's lost. she buried it so close to the shore, i think the tide got it.
  5. survivor is no place for nonconformity. she is the odd one out. kind of like natalie from last season. she just didn't fit in. on top of her turrets, she has a bum ankle, strange misplaced chicken sympathy, dishonesty regarding the stolen flint. I'm surprised at the last vote. he was the strongest physically. that tribe is a dumpster fire. merge cant get here soon enough.
  6. i really don't see the relevancy in his grades. i fail to see the issue here. he is the first president in history to not release his tax returns. that to me is a big deal. especially when his own attorney has said under oath the trumpster has committed tax fraud. trump said he would release them once he was president. he lied. then, he also claimed the only reason he didn't release them is he's under audit. the irs has confirmed he is and never was under audit. he lied again.
  7. there was a great episode of washington journal on cspan yesterday morning. you can catch the transcript on their website. had a doctor on that was all for medicare for all. explained it in reasonable terms.
  8. are you saying barron is autistic?
  9. wow, that sounds eerily like someone else in washington i know.
  10. not sure if serious. what makes you say that? she had the patience of job if you ask me. i dont think many women would tolerate his personality disorders, not to mention his death wish/career choice, or the fact he lives in a van. he doesn't hug, he doesn't say i love you. she was a saint imho.
  11. where are you finding it?
  12. i dont see the controversy. both parties have super delegates. under both bylaws the super delegate is unbound and can vote for whoever they want. it's really a moot point. bernie was never going to be the nominee. everybody knew a year before when he declared, and they know it today. bernie is a great guy, and a fantastic speaker, capable of firing up the base akin to the trumpster, but he will never be the nominee. if he was serious about being the nominee he would register as a democrat.
  13. there is some truth to your position but it's buried under conspiracy theory nutjob innuendos. also, just curious, are you willing to acknowledge that this paragraph applies equally to the gop? cruz was forced by the party to concede to trump and give up his delegates. the party supports the frontrunner. period. so to say "the party's handlers will choose its candidate for them" is disingenuous. the people choose the candidate and the party throws all it's weight behind the frontrunner. bernie never had a chance in hell, hillary is more mainstream, and the party did what was best for the party. same as the gop did with trump.
  14. did she question any of the witnesses yesterday from the fec, oge, etc regarding hr1? I saw her there but couldn't stay up late enough and cant find any clips of it if she did.
  15. Been looking for it, but have not seen any in Austin. Houston seems to have gotten a few bottles.
  16. you mean she breathes and rides in cars? what a hypocrite! the nerve of her. off the bandwagon I go.
  17. that's the one eddie did for his dad, right?
  18. 130 pages and 6500 posts to talk about how stupid she is. methinks thou dost protest too much.
  19. great pics. lets hear the deets. where'd ya camp? where'd ya hike?
  20. I hear ya. I went in with low expectations and came away impressed. i'm having a glass now in fact. it's not bad. I got it at a specs in Houston, at the same time as a bottle of cotton hollow. had heard of both and never tried either. the cotton hollow I had to give away. too smoky and oaky and woody for me. but this one I liked.
  21. my bad, I just remembered cody road was from iowa, not texas. that makes it less good if you're a loyal Texan, but still a nice little bourbon if you're a bourbon fan.
  22. The ghost hill, from dripping springs, is not sourced. it's not bad, but it's not noteworthy either. a texas bourbon I was recently impressed with was cody road. pretty decent.
  23. I stopped in a twins yesterday just for kicks. its a little shitass store that never has anything unique or interesting but it does happen to be right next door to my heb (which was miraculously open). I have 33 bottles of bourbon at home so wasn't really needing anything, and didn't expect to find any of the rare stuff i'm hunting at this little shitass store, but I thought I might pick up a 1.75 of something decent that I could pound, instead of all the expensive shit I try to conserve on or save for a special occasion. well I didn't see any decent deals on 1.75's and I had pretty tried every other selection on their shelf so I picked up a bottle of knob creek maple. had never tried any of the maple bourbons so thought what the heck. what a mistake. it's terrible. I thought it was going to be more subtle, like finishing in a port or madeira barrel. no. it slaps you in the face with the maple flavor like a cock and balls. does anyone know the process of this? it is overly sweet, akin to maple syrup. I tried cutting it in half with a rye, but the maple overpowers even when you cut it. plus, I realized it will take me twice as long to finish if I drink it that way. are there maples staves in the oak barrels, or do they use maple for the barrels? it really tastes so maple-y that I suspected that there is something artificial added to it, but it says all natural. I cant believe maple wood has this much sugar in it. again, it might be nice if it were a hint, a subtle flavor to the bourbon. like the mesquite in long branch is subtle. I cant taste the port in angels envy. but this slaps you in the face like a cock and balls. it's so nasty I don't know what i'm going to do with it. I've heard of bourbon-glazed ham, and if you were going to cook with a bourbon or make a glaze, this maple one is the one to do it with. but I don't happen to have a ham lying around. not sure how i'm ever going to get rid of it.
  24. i don't know that they have a pay site at all. Did anyone else notice that the sand the girl buried her idol in seemed wet? didn't seem very smart to me. it also didn't look like she put a shell or rock or any kind of marker over it to show her later where she buried it.
