  1. You’re a nice guy, but it’s a dumb idea. scenario 1: Quinn leads offense to 10 points on first two drives. Arch comes in and throws an interception. Opposing team scores on next drive. We lose a close game by three. Shit storm with fans and media ensues. Arch has to wait until the next week to hopefully redeem himself, with only one drive to prove it. scenario 2: Offense is scoreless first two drives. Arch comes in, scores a touchdown. Quinn comes in the rest of the game but doesn’t have his best game. Shit storm ensues. Now we have a quarterback controversy. Do you really want that? Arch will see action this season, at the place and time of Sark’s choosing.
  2. Agree. For mezcal, try MisMezcales in Roma Sur. It’s a cool, small boutique store that has many varieties of mezcal. I believe @GreenspointTexas recommended the shop on this thread before my trip in ‘22. I bought three bottles there, two to take back home and one to make cocktails with before going out to dinner. One thing I love about Mexico is a lot of the markets have stands that sell freshly squeezed fruit juice. The whole market smelled of grapefruit so we got some of that juice along with lime and cucumber (probably a little sugar added). Nothing better than fresh, squeezed fruit juice on vacation; with or without booze.
  3. My grandfather used to say "Best People on Earth" when would drive by the local Elk's lodge.
  4. Went on a self-guided rafting, fly fishing trip in 2012 to SW Alaska. Weather delayed our arrival by a day on our in-bound flight by float plane to the drop off lake. This had a reverberating effect when it was time to be picked up by our wheel plane at the local Inuit airstrip 5 days later. Flights were delayed across the region and we were worried if we were going to make it back to Anchorage for the return flight to DFW the following morning. I took a .44 magnum for bear protection on the trip along with a full box of heavy load ammo. I dutifully checked in my firearm and ammo at DFW at the start of the trip. But when the float trip ended , we were delayed getting back to Anchorage. We made it back to Anchorage late, took a cab to our hotel, made the driver wait while we dropped our luggage. Then we had him drive us to a bad ass pizza place in town before it closed. After long day of breaking camp, rowing to our pickup point, traveling by boat to the airstrip, taking a plane to Dillingham, taking a turbo prop to Anchorage, and eating pizza and drinking beer, I was dead tired. Asked my buddy at the hotel what time our flight was the next morning and he said something like 10:00 am. I immediately went to bed. Woke up about 7:00 the next morning, about to take a shower for the first time in 6 days. But decided to check my phone first to see what time our flight left. Flight leaves in an hour. We make a mad dash to the airport, check my revolver in at ticketing and put it in my check in duffle bag and quickly proceed to security carrying my backpack as they are announcing boarding for my flight. I forgot to remove my box of ammo from my backpack. Gulp…
  5. Yep, it’s the border wall. Dude is a regular on the MAGA circuit.
  6. Mezquila… @GreenspointTexas is not going to be happy about this! I’m generally not into celebrity booze, and why can’t you just mix mezcal and tequila if that’s the taste you’re going for? Also, I’m team David Lee Roth, but spending and evening drinking and eating with Sammy is probably a hoot.
  7. I don’t want to give Fox News any clicks. Can someone summarize who wrote the opinion and what was the gist of it?
  8. I don’t claim to be an expert on mezcal, but I’ve been to Oaxaca, tried a a few varieties, did a distillery tour and partook of 2-4 varieties the following year in CDMX. You might try Ilegal Joven. It’s not aged so taste profile is a good segue from tequila into mezcal. Stick with the espadín variety of agave and the lightly aged styles (Jovens) until you season your palate for a more complex variety. I agree with @Herbie Hancock that Del Maguey can be a little medicinal. I also agree with @texasdago that a post meal mezcal is awesome, and the more floral/herbal (medicinal) varieties are well suited in this situation IMO.
  9. It’s only for OK residents with a Rx
  10. Gal on the right still high as fuck
  11. Dude's a raging addict. He's traded his addiction from crack (hopefully off of it) to public attention. It is sad, but he's an active participant in trying to disband free and fair elections. So, fuck him.
  12. Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for it.
  13. Show us a pic of the other side of the bottle
  14. The anti-semitism was as Larry David would say…“a bit much”.
