i lived a couple of blocks away from '82-'92. i shopped there a couple of times. i respected it for what it was and what they were trying to do, but surprised it lasted this long.

i'm sure i watched it but dont recall that season at all. just googled all the locations for all the seasons and seems like they've covered them all (except maybe new mexico). no wonder they picked wisconsin. whats next, iowa? I think the blandness of wisconsin, coupled with the missing padma was a double whammy. kristen hasnt done a terrible job though. homeboy might win this thing. he started out shaky but is hitting his stride at the right time.

its been a pretty boring season, but that's wisconsin for you. you kind of knew going into it this was going to be a stretch - beer, cheese, bar snacks. this is not a good food destination. the chefs are having a hard time with it, but the producers are having just as difficult a time coming up with decent challenges. i would have saved the cranberries for a new england season (which i hope they think of soon). i dont think the chefs are that bad. a lot of talent. they're just young, theyre no masters or allstars but all decent chefs putting out good food.

i thought it was one of the best movies i've seen in month. saw it a few weeks ago the weekend it came out on whatever premium channel it came out on. very well done.

i dont agree with this at all. you could have said that about the last 5 tribals where someone has gone home with an idol. anyone could have told that person to play their idol but chose to mislead them. thats part of the game. kenzie knew people wanted to vote tiff, but never mentioned it. she told them it wasnt the right time and mistakenly thought they agreed with her. maria mistakingly thought everyone agreed to vote charlie so didnt warn q. and i also disagree that it was stupid to take liz over maria. i believe all 4 left are crystal clear that maria is going to win this thing. it needs to be 4 against 1, and maria has to know that too, and that the day she loses immunity is the day she goes home. what i thought was the most interesting part of the episode was charlie and maria sitting on the boat together saying how close they are and how i cant wait for my kids to meet uncle charlie, while behind their backs they're plotting and scheming to blindside the other.

looks like lakeway marina.

just what we needed, another unicorn. they have a vodka that's outrageously priced too. i'll take the wheatley for $20, thank you.

this has to be the best liars of any season. hunter was the only one that had an intuition he might be blindsided. no one else had a clue. we have to be getting close to a record for players voted out with idols in their pocket. pretty impressive run for maria to be near a record for immunity wins by a female. will be interesting to see how she handles being on the wrong side of the vote for the first time.

you obviously arent a bourbon fan. you could probably hit 3-4 civil war sites on this trip. if you had time, maybe visit some of the barrier islands off georgia. tybee is real close to savannah.

forgot about barzini's. that was awesome. the other thing i forgot about is how fantastic and well-casted the two dumpster-diving kids were. they were hilarious.

i watched it last night and laughed my ass off. i thought it was hilarious. its ron burgundy/dumb and dumber kind of dumb, but as long as you arent expecting something highbrow you should be fine. ironically, jerry seinfeld is the worst actor in the movie and probably the least funny. i do agree with one of the posters above that commented about the target age demographic. it definitely helps to be over 50 to get this era of american society. last comment: hugh grant was almost academy award worthy. great performance from him in this.

i came across a newsfeed article about a place off jones or west road - jersey village/cyfair area. can anyone think of a place out that way that would be worthy of writing an article about them? may have been about barbacoa, may have been about menudo. there was something that stood out there. i meant to save but seems lost forever now.

the stories on the back label usually come across as fluff and hogwash. some kind of marketing ploy to make the bourbon stand out when there is nothing in the bottle to make the bourbon stand out. i'm not saying its bullshit, but a distillery closing in the last 20 years is like a munitions plant closing during wartime. there's just too much demand. ive heard of thefts, and fires, and massive spills, and mergers and buyouts, but am not aware of any closures.

ben's the only one left thats not even playing. he's just voting for whoever they tell him to and hanging on. no chance of winning. q is not really playing anymore either, since he's been the villain for the past 4 days. he's the only reason so many have left with idols in their pocket. every time he's been the slam dunk target. amazing he's still here. shows how the deception and lies are stronger with this group than past. no one has had a clue or a hint of an instinct theyre about to be blindsided. usually you have a hunch thats somethings not right by the way you see be talking or whispering, or the look in their eye when they're talking to you. this is master deception. hunter is the only one that had a feeling but they reassured him at tribal not to play it while stabbing him in the back. never seen that happen before.

i have that botte, but didnt remember the story on the back. what distilleries have closed since 2010? that surprises me since the onset of the bourbon craze started soon after that.

most people recommend angels envy as a starter bourbon. if you're a newbie i would try all those that carl suggested. store picks i would not recommend since you have to experience the nuance of knob creek before you can appreciate a store pick of knob creek. makers mark, knob creek, and buffalo trace would be the three mass-batch, on the shelf, <$50 bottles and brands to start with and branch out from.

still a buy. they are highly sought after. little books are nice too, but much rarer.

what batch is it? whats the asking price? its probably going to be a yes, no matter what your answers are. i've killed two of my six bookers just recently, only to free up shelf space. i'm getting turned off on the higher proofs lately, but there is a lot of flavor in these.

they're better than maryland.

well damn. dont tell me youre a stars fan too. whole lotta celebratin goin on.

big csu fan, huh?

ive only had one willet purple top and its one of the best bourbons ive ever tasted. very memorable. it reminds me of the birthday bourbons. unlike any other bourbon out there.

maria orchestrated that one, which will put a target on her back. seems like everyone but ben and charlie have made moves they could use with the jury. venus really hasnt either but she thinks she has, and at least she's vocal and stirs things up. ben and charlie are just going with the flow.

dang, sierra leone was high up on my list too. i usually shy away from picking the winner from the 1 or 2 post, so leaning towards the two justify offspring plus honor marie. great value in all three of those, and better starting positions.
