  1. Yeah, the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) is about 85-90% effective for the first 4 years after vaccination. However, you are still better off in adulthood having received the Varicella vaccine as a kid rather than actually getting the virus. If you get chickenpox, the virus remains latent in the dorsal root ganglia. Then as a person becomes more immunocompromised through age, the virus can be reactivated.

    I’ve had two friends (both over 50) come down with shingles in the last few years.
  2. It’s always been crazy to me how scarce eagle rare is in some places. I’ve never walked into a liquor store in PA and it not been on the shelf. More often than not it’s an end cap with 6+ cases waiting to be bought. 

    State run liquor stores are a whole different animal than normal retail.
  3. True story.  This past weekend at TW Brodie, Buffalo Trace drop was tipped off by someone in distribution.  Over a hundred folks line-up at opening.  Big surly guy cuts the front of the line.  Words were exchanged and tough guy brandishes some brass knuckles.  Sunset Valley PD arrive in full-force to haul surly guy away.  All the hoopla for a storepick BT and a few Blanton’s.  Go figure.

    At least no one got shanked. It’s not like it’s a chicken sandwich or anything..,
  4. Coffee in France is what got me hooked. For now I make mine w Peet’s FR beans in a burr grinder and a Chemex. Pretty good but not the same. I’m fairly sure it’s not just the coffee and the grind but mostly the method. If someone ever solves the mystery, I’m all all in.

  5. Scored four bottles of W12 at 28.99 last night, that gets me up to 13. If anyone in Centex wants to trade a BTAC for multiple W12 hit me up

    I’ll give you three bottles of Crown Peach and a couple handles of Jack for the lot. Do we have a deal?

  6. Popeyes is better than CFA with and without mayo, chicken is bigger and a lot more crispy, pickles are better and the bun is just as good as CFA. Popeyes will never come close to the service or cleanliness of CFA, but no other fast food joint will either.

    This pretty much sums it up.

    The wife and I each had one yesterday. Didnt have to wait in line and didn’t have to kill a bitch. Really good sandwich for fast food but CFA is still a nicer dining atmosphere overall.
  7. Well it’s the Holidays and the Tater’s and their mother in-laws are out in full force. Case in point, went to my local establishment and some lady was asking the store manager about this “special bourbon - Blanton’s maybe ?” That she needed for the holidays. Manager says he has some in back that just came in but only one bottle limit. She says yes please and the manager goes to get it. She then calls her Son-in-law to tell him to come get a bottle. She takes one bottle and then stands guard over another bottle for SIL while he presumably breaks all kinds of traffic laws getting there.

    It’s getting pretty freaking ridiculous out there.

  8. 1910 is so damn good. Can’t even imagine what OFBB is like...because of orlan_o I’m half way thru the bottle. Fire his ass now! /rant

    Finally found some. Going to give it a try to see what all the fuss (and hoarding) is about.
