  1. Keep yours. We will crack mine.

    We fire Hermie and land Urbie I’m bringing mine over and we’re drinking both. Straight from the bottle. We’ll make little J and Chester clean up the aftermath

  2. I picked up a bottle of the Michter's Toasted Rye the other day. Trying to decide if that should be the "Texas hired Urban" bottle to break open.

    I got two 2019 OFBB, one for each of my twins born last year. We hire Urban and I’m
    cracking one of them and making the twins split it when they turn 21.

  3. Another bottle that was readily available and I didn't know what I had until it was scarce.  I have maybe 2 pours left.
     

    Yep. This time two years ago it was collecting dust in my local TW. I’d grab one every few weeks as I killed the previous one. Then one day it wasn’t there at all.

    And in a bit of even more saddening news, my local mom and pop shop that always takes care of me is being sold to the kind of people that put cases of horny goat weed pills, glass pipes and incense for sale at the register. Just another place that sells Eagle Rare for $99. Furk
  4. I like where your head is at. I think a good barrel of McKenna 10 could run the table in that competition.

    McKenna is great for what it is: a 10
    Year bottle at a very reasonable price. It is most definitely not something I would even consider including in a flight amongst the likes of KC 14+ or an EHT single barrel.

    HH bib is overrated. Part of what made it so enjoyable was the $16 price tag.
  5. OFBB on some website for $700. A worthy bottle for my wedding weekend in December?

     

    This years release has been panned by just about everyone myself and BigD know. Not sure if placebo effect or coincidence, but it’s also the youngest ever BB release. If I find it at or near msrp I’ll buy it to form my own conclusions, but I’m not trading for it on the secondary market or playing any fireballs for it

  6. I have an Elijah Craig SB pick from Ollie’s in Lubbock and one from Byron’s in OKC and both are just stupid delicious. I had two of the Byron’s but one didn’t last 48 hours.

  7. Can we please quit referring to bourbon bloggers? Specifically but not necessarily limited to the Ascot Asshat? I don’t give a flying rat fuck what that clown has to say about anything brown water related and nobody with more than three functional brain cells should either

  8. I’ve got an 11.5 year old CoK that’s been sitting for over a year. Haven’t had much interest in opening it for whatever reason. After today I may just try and trade it

  9. Cream of Kentucky 13 for $159. The TW I shop has a very large bourbon section and the bourbon man there is a great guy. No bullshit, no “oh if you like OWA you’ll love this 2 Stars!”, he’s good people and always takes care of me. Hunt him down to get the skinny on CoK13 since I’ve never seen it in the wild before. He admits he doesn’t know much about and has never had it himself. Scans it and shows that it arrived in April and they haven’t sold a single bottle since. He asks if I want to try it and I said nah not for $159. No, he says, do you want a sample right now? Unbeknownst to me my bourbon guy is now the damned store manager. Scans the bottle outbid the system, cracks it and pours me a very heavy drink. Not bad at all. I’d be in at under $90, but $160 is out of the question


    Tldr; Cream of Kentucky 13 is good but nowhere near worth the price tag.

  10. A buddy of mine saw it. The dead guy was by all accounts a real good guy. Heard he worked for the city. Dude tried to intervene in a domestic dispute supposedly. Cop rolls up, tazes him, then shoots him when that doesn’t incapacitate him. I don’t think he was on the ground though. I could be wrong.
    After he shot the guy, he was saying this is bad and trying to hand cuff him supposedly.

    I met Jonathan on many occasions though I wouldn’t say I knew anything about him. My two cousins and several close friends were very close to him. They have all echoed what I thought to be true of the guy I ran in to quite frequently for about a year, and that is that he was an absolutely wonderful person with a heart of gold. I haven’t seen him in 13-14 years and honestly if it weren’t for those people mentioned above sharing the news article I may never have known it was him, but I felt a twinge yesterday when I found out. This world was better with Jonathan Price in it, of that I am certain.

  11. So you’re telling us they can’t do their job yet again so again the question is, why do we pay them?

    I’ll tell you what, let’s roll with your “logic” here. Next time you or someone you know is experiencing chest pain and thinks they’re having a heart attack, don’t go to Seton or St. David’s. Drive your happy ass on over to Muenster Memorial hospital in Muenster, Tx because hey, a doctor is a doctor right?

    If your house ever catches on fire, don’t call Austin FD. Call Rockdale FD, because hey a fireman is a fireman right?
  12. Stop, it’s not worth the effort. Certain people have made up their minds that this is a miscarriage of justice and dereliction of duty by the WCPD and no amount of facts or common sense will convince them otherwise.

    That’s right, a whole three person police department. Not three per shift, three total.

  13. The answer is simple.   Training.

    Eh, at the risk of derailing (again) I’ll say this: you can’t train a moron not to be a moron. The fire service and ems are going through the same problems, it’s just not making news (yet). Some of the people I’ve had the displeasure of working with in recent memory aren’t competent enough to be trusted with aspirin and a Band-aid, yet we not only hired them but pushed them through even when they were given poor performance reviews. I’m not entirely sure why, but I do know when I started my journey to become a firefighter I was taking tests with thousands of people. The last test my department gave we had 301 people show up and we had 20+ vacancies to fill with another 10-15 projected by the end of the year due to retirement. The average IQ of the people seeking these jobs (police, fire, ems) is plummeting
