  1. the boathouse is better than snoopy's?
  2. i am, and like it a lot. it requires some suspension of belief as some of the plot points are preposterous, but still a good show about class struggle.
  3. it is tasty. I actually loved the bottle I bought. if you read the bio of uncle nearest he sounds remarkably like jack daniels, and he makes bourbon the exact same way as jack daniels. but the bourbon is better. not sure its worth the $50+ price point but it was pretty good.
  4. sorry I cant make the Christmas party hugo, but please call me when the next poker night comes up. betty says hi and wants me to tell you she's come up with a nice carrot cake recipe for the next bake sale.
  5. It's like people that try to tell you old Vines make better wine than new ones. no, those two things are not the same. it's more like people telling you mass-produced things taste better than hand-crafted ones. some people like mgp, and you're right the process is the same, you're just skipping a step and paying someone else to do part of the process for you. theres not as much respect in that, compared to a grain to glass outfit.
  6. I found some oat grain tonight, but don't pm me, because fuck off. It's for me.
  7. as much as I bitch about garrisons prices, Kentucky owl is laughable. I own a confiscated but refuse to pay $200+ for their regular bourbon. i'd be hard pressed to pay that for pappy or any of the btac's. they are not in that league so to try to price themselves there is asinine. I get a chuckle that I see it on the shelf in every store.
  8. i'm a pessimist I guess. I'm barely holding on that theres a realistic shot to beat him. I think everyone in America thought Hillary was going to win so didn't get out to vote. we cant get complacent and think biden's got this. we have to get out the vote.
  9. how it stacks up? that's the new release he just rated and compared to Kentucky owl. i'm a garrison fan, and am tempted to buy another bottle just so I can have one to drink. I still have a 375 ml of the original release. took a bottle of that to paris with me and it was excellent each and every night in my hotel room. fuck the haters. I'm not sure I don't like the estacado better, but this balmorhea release is supposed to be pretty good. none of us will probably ever see it but they released a laguna madre, aged in limousin oak. i'd love to try it but doubt it will live up to the search.
  10. not sure if anyone else is from the east end of Houston, but there's still a cafeteria called Dinner Bell that's been around since I was a kid in the 70's. Still a great place to go for pies. not near as iconic as luby's. luby's is the gold standard. there was a picadilly in gulfgate, and probably in almeda too, but I was never much of a fan compared to luby's.
  11. they did have an unusually large assortment of salads. carrot and raisin was definitely an odd choice. I never heard of a cobb salad until luby's.
  12. it still is, but the frozen fish that used to be in the case right next to it is gone. the fish and mac and cheese made for a nice meal. lubys is an American classic. hate to see it go. my eyes are getting big just picturing that row of hot deliciousness and all the attendants waiting behind them to help you, and how you were going to possibly choose from all that goodness.
  13. wendy davis was the first candidate that jumped out at me as a potential recipient of the alleged pac. hegar is my second choice.
  14. yep, i'm liking it so far too. reminds me of the pbs series jamestown.
  15. It's amazing to me that palo duro is the second largest canyon in the usa, because it's a mere finger scratch in the dirt to the grand canyon. the grand canyon is majestic and everyone should see it. i was based in phoenix for awhile and always went that way, through sedona and flagstaff, but last summer came down from utah and into page. that was my first time to see glen canyon dam and lake powell. page was a pretty thriving, happening town. wouldn't mind going back and exploring from there for a few days. i agree with the one posters' take that monument valley is not worth the side trip. was one of the bigger disappointments of the trip last year.
  16. i dont even think its that old. the bottle i bought said barrelled in 2016. i agree, he needs to lower it $20-40 to be reasonable. i went out looking for the woodford oat grain today but no look. did find a woodford wheated. never seen it before and it was the only bottle they had. was only $29 so am feeling good about the weekend. also bought a bottle of bulleit blenders select. it was pretty pricey for some bitches that dont even distill, but it's gotten good reviews so will be cracking it tonight.
  17. very nice score. i passed up small batch for years looking for single, 4grain, amaranth, etc. now i'd love to see even a small batch somewhere. been a long time.
  18. ive been watching. i like it a lot so far. one that that pricked my ears up was i saw in the opening credits that it was based on an annie proulx book, and that shes an executive producer on the show. shes a novelist, and not a history buff, so i was a bit confused that she was involved in this. in all the commercials and ads running up to the premiere it looked like a history, early colonies show so that's what i settled in for. turns out thats not what this show is about at all. i wont spoil it for you but you can google the novel. it gets into the modern age. at any rate, i like it and will watch it to the end.
  19. Yeah, we see that, but does every single republican voter have blinders on? why are they not seeing it? it's too easy for us dems to criticize the trumpster, but what has baffled me is how loyal the repubs have clung to him for the past 3 years. very few critics, and the ones that have are silenced quickly. he's a dictator, trampled all over the constitution, called the white house a dump, said he has ultimate authority, told more lies and been more delusional than any psychopath in any prison, and been labelled by an ecumenical society as the least christian president ever. still loyal to him. he's the teflon don. if he unzipped his fly and whipped out his tiny penis at the next press conference, he'd still get 42% of the vote in the next election.
  20. what kind of shitshow of an administration are we running here? fucking hypocrites. the election is rigged, oh wait I won. Obama sucks for playing golf during a crisis, oh wait I gots a tee time. voting by mail is fraudulent, oh wait I vote by mail.
