  1. I'll have a Redbreast and Ana de Armas, please.
  2. Point of order. 32nd District has been reconfigured to be more solidly Democratic. I'm guessing most if not all of the 6 defendants are no longer in that district.
  3. Tell me you don't understand Dallas versus its suburbs and exurbs without telling me.
  4. The irony and lack of self-awareness is really amazing. Because they're woke.
  5. Anyone else seen American Fiction? Jeffrey wright was fantastic, and the whole movie was very entertaining. I laughed out loud several times. Purely based on how much I enjoyed the watch I would give it the nod over the other nominees I’ve seen (Oppenheimer, Barbie, KOTFM, Maestro)
  6. If the judgment is against him personally then a receiver wouldn’t have authority to use company assets to pay the judgment (unless I guess if Trump were the sole owner of that company).
  7. I’m not familiar with NY law but most states do not require a bond or deposit to appeal. That just prevents post judgment collection efforts on appeal.
  8. P.S. Your cunt is in the sink.
  9. Once again revealing yourself as a selfish shitbag. Well done.
  10. Not really. Aviation is good and I’ve also used Bombay and beefeater. It’s not worth using expensive stuff like Hendricks IMO. So I stayed away from gin altogether for about 30 years after bad experiences at Debutant balls involving Tanqueray. recently came to the conclusion that my issue wasn’t gin but tonic (and of course too much gin).
  11. I know they carry it at Total Wine. I can't recall if they have it at Spec's or Sigel's. Medallion in Lakewood (on Live Oak at Skillman) has the best price in town by a lot (I think it's under or around $40 for the 1 L size) and the 750ml is at least that much most everywhere else. Just don't buy all of them out from under me.
  12. Yes and yes. I was the one who told you to check with Resy (or Open Table whatever they use for their online reservations) to update for a better time. The key to a Negroni isn't aging it so much IMO but the brand of sweet vermouth. Carpano Antica makes ALL the difference. If I'm in a new (to me) bar or restaurant I'll ask what they have. If no Carpano Antica (or comparable) I'll order something else. Also, lots of bartenders don't measure out the components, which can make a huge difference in the taste. Too much gin or Campari will ruin the drink. You can go a little heavy on the vermouth (which has a similar effect as aging it I suspect). Also this time of year I'll sometimes opt for a Boulevardier (but only if they pour with Rye) or what I call an Irish Negroni (swap Irish Whiskey for Gin). Gives the drink a slightly softer and warmer flavor. Last thought about aging in an oak barrel is that you're going to want to keep that somewhere cool/refrigerator temperature. Vermouth is like wine. Once opened you need to refrigerate it or it will go stale pretty quickly.
  13. I guess I don’t see it as close a question as you’ve suggested. This reminds me of when the 11th circuit judge I clerked for swore me in to the bar (twice), he read me the oath, he repeated the part about candor two or three times. (He was a hell of a guy)
  14. Oh, I'm quite good at disappointing one woman, but that's enough work for me.
