    Added gratuitous nudity...

    Where do you live that you can sit on the back porch right now and not get carried away by mosquitos? I saw them fuckers carry a squirrel off yesterday.

    No mosquitos in my southern Lufkin neighborhood. Spent most of Friday night nude tending the smoker on the back porch.  Confidence pays off!

    Correct. But part of its appeal and reason it was on the county line between the two was the fact that Angelina county was a dry county for decades but that changed in the last ten years. 

    And I am grateful for that shit, I tell you what...

    Although, bringing back some casual nudity would be a good thing. Buncha ball-bustin’ Pentecostals...

    Cheers from Lufkin!

    The majority of tv show weddings are presided by main characters who got internet licenses. In tv sitcoms, the name of the licensure is part of the joke. Its tired.

     

    Happens in real life, too, quite a bit. That’s why I asked.

    Didn’t see it as a regular TV gag. Must not be watching the same shows.

    I need some sort of outdoor storage box for BBQ and griddle equipment. Spatulas, scrapers, lighters, etc. Must be able to meet wife approval standards, i.e. no plastic sunbeam junk. What do you guys use to organize outdoor cooking equipment?

    If no one else is gonna say it, I will...

    Your mom.

    Houston people help me out here.

    We were attending ISU at Aggy in '09 and the Friday before the game stayed at my buddy's place in Spring/Conroe area.  He took us to a bar by the George Bush airport that he said was called either Hoot County or Hook County.  According to Google, today there's a place called Hoot County near there that's in a strip mall type setting, but that definitely isn't the bar.

    It was on a lightly traveled road in an undeveloped swampy area south of the airport.  It had a gravel parking lot, and the front half of the facility had a dirt floor.  The building was basically a shack.  You could order a "nipple beer", which meant the bartender opened a bottle of beer, lifted her top up, pressed the open beer next to her exposed nipples, and violently shook it before slamming it on the table as beer sprayed everywhere.

    I don't know that it was the sketchiest or dumpiest bar I've been to, but it had a little of both going on, and was an absolute blast.

    Was just there at the current Hoot County for the first time 5 nights ago at the recommendation of my BIL. Walked over from the Sheraton across the street. 

    Fun place. Really varied crowd at midnight, but they all totally meshed. Had a blast. If I had only known to inquire about the Nipple Beer, dammit.

    I received wife approval tonight. It might be on. Just gotta present a strong case for February. 

    The last weekend of Feb is Bourbon Classic. Seems to get bigger every year. 

    Anyone here ever been?

    I’m still capable of finding ER10 out the door for under $30 on a regular basis. Haven’t ever seen EC for cheaper than $39 but it’s usually higher.

    I’m the grump everywhere. The bar is probably the least grumpy you’ll find me because if I’m at the bar that means I’m sans kids and/or wife.
     

     

    Regarding the EC and ER pricing:  just goes to show the vagaries of different regions and their pricing based on availability, etc.  

    This crazy market of brown liquor.  So odd.

    It’s funny you say that, because the 3 bottles I have the most of in my bunker are ER10, Blanton’s, and OWA and I love them all dearly. But he was asking for whiskeys at a certain price point and EC ain’t in that ballpark.

     

     

    Where I am, EC is most definitely in that price point. ER10, on the other hand, is not. I thought all your other pics were spot-on. 

    I’m a BT fanboy as well. Not because of any loyalty, but only because I found that’s where my taste-buds led me most of the time once I started paying attention to producers, mash-bills, etc.  

    Weller Special Reserve remains a personal favorite, and it has been since 1991. Not always readily available, but cheap when I do find it. I do love having Larceny around as a back-up. 

    Other daily drinkers for me are Buffalo Trace and Evan Williams Single Barrel.

    I could probably be happy as hell to subsist on those 3-4 mentioned labels for the rest of time. My only variance being the accidental stumbling-upon a rare bottle “in the wild”.  

    Was interested to hear what you like to drink based on your comment, but you’re probably the grump at the bar that everyone avoids. 

    Cheers, though!

    Buffalo trace, ER10, early times, old charter 8, OGD 114, HM10. Do you need more or will those suffice?

    Unbunch your panties. Just wanted to know what your preferences were. Sheesh.

    Are you asking what else is available that is better that Weller reg?

    WSR is Weller Special Reserve? Aka Weller reg?

    Also I am in deep on 4R SBS so I need clarification

     

    Just wanted to know what his “much better options for pretty much the same price” were.

    I love my w12 and 107, but I’m not buying WSR when there are much better options for pretty much the same price.

    Such as... ?  Care to elaborate?

  12. First time at Prohibition in Spring, TX. Incredibly reasonable place to sample and swill the ever-revolving menu of brown liquor. Shayla is cute as hell and actually gives a shit about the drinks she is slinging.

    Sorry...no pics. But...her Sazerac was quite lovely. The drink was good, too...

    Go to Toronto?  Eat hotel food?  And listen to a liquor rep talk about Pappy?  That sounds fuckin’ terrible.....

  14. Used to spend a week there every Spring for about 10 years.  Last trip was Spring 2007.  Haven't been back since.  Gonna be there for a week the last week of October.  Looking forward to it.  Will be interesting to see if my old faves are still around.

    BTW when I think of generic, this what comes to mind..    Yea HEB back in the 80's had a whole section of the white and black label stuff including beer with cans that just said beer on them.   LOL that was before my alcohol consumption days so never tried , but I recall seeing them.

     

    Pearl supposedly did the generic beer for HEB back in the day.

    It’s my favorite thing on that list.

    I dunno. WLW trumps the 12 by a mile to these taste buds. Both still exceptional, however  

    W12 USED to be in my daily drinker category.  Walk in to a store. Gonna buy some Weller. 12 is sitting there next to the WSR and the Antique. Gee...do I spend the extra $10 today?  

    Those were my quandaries.  Those were the days, right?  And it wasn’t really THAT fucking long ago. Still bitter about it.
