  1. I'm going with you totally made that up. That's not a usual prank today or even 15 years ago without a lawsuit. Eh...depends on the office. Not all places were PC and corporatized.....
  2. And also...imagine showing up with one of these on your first date!
  3. If you have to ask...
  4. Opened it last night. Absolutely hated it. I give up. Sticking to KY products from now on.
  5. Well...shit.
  6. Scored a bottle in Nac a few days ago. Haven’t opened it yet. What’s been the consensus on this?
  7. At a concert the other night and pulled two chicks without trying. One was drunk and needy. Had her all warmed up before reality set in. Once I considered the implications of dealing with her aftermath, I made the decision to ditch her. Karma rewarded me with the cute bartender that I had been dealing with all night. Sometimes, it’s just nice to know you still have some game.
  8. Not wise in the ways of Irish. I’m a Bourbon guy, my wife (no pics) is a Single Malt girl. We keep a helluva bar at home, but don’t drink each other’s stash. A few years ago, a friend turned us onto Teeling’s, and it has become our March tradition, and a bottle that we can both agree upon. Otherwise...that’s all I know...
  9. Along those same lines, let me tell you my mission on a gray and shitty Monday morning. I got it in my head to acquire all 4 Old Forester Whiskey Row offerings as a gift for my bro-in-law who is a novice Bourbon drinker. Figured it was a good gift. Not too expensive. Lots of yield. Lots of comparison. Hopefully some tasting discussions between him and his buddies. He recently sent me a bottle of Weller 12 from the secondary market for MY birthday. I was extremely grateful and flattered, but kinda felt bad for his effort and expense. Wanted to return the favor with a vengeance. I have many interesting stories of the 9 stops that I made (many things I passed up for myself) but suffice to say: mission accomplished! 9 stops. 4 bottles (all at MSRP), 1hr, 45min total time. Felt like a fuckin rock star. Totally made my day that I nailed them all, just in one day. I just figured that karma (or law of averages, whatever) would have me spending weeks hunting the one missing bottle... Anyway...for what it’s worth...that’s my Bourbon success story this week. My good goddam deed for the day.
  10. Agreed. I went on a bourbon-hunting fandango yesterday with 9 stops at independents. Did not encounter any gimmicky NDP bullshit. No hard-sell tactics. Had pleasant conversations about bourbon with knowledgeable staff/owners. Bought some other items as well. Was a pleasure to shop and spend money in these establishments. My last Spec’s experience was in Humble. Was trying to shop leisurely and enjoy some free time, but the overly aggressive “customer service” was so bludgeoning, I couldn’t check out and leave fast enough.
  11. Now you’re getting it!
  12. Fuck no. So much other good juice out there. I will wait it out, IF the market ever turns.
  13. Trying to wrap my head around “not having sex to avoid bed rest.”
  14. You have been missing out.
  15. This is a sad thread.
  16. Any holiday. Memorial Day, 4th Of July, and Labor Day are the big 3 and best time to start shopping But you can always shop around President’s Day, Tax Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc.
  17. Mind blown!
  18. Made some homemade soup for the wife (no pics) who had to work some today, had some wine together, cranked some tunes, hung out. Watched Cool Hand Luke while we ate. Sipping a Weller 12 and just enjoying the peace of a mellow evening.
  19. In Nacogdoches today, popped into a few stores. Continental Liquors is a nice quaint store with some great brown juice and some perfectly acceptable prices. Including Eagle Rare, since so many seem to be on the hunt lately Also saw quite a bit of Angels Envy, Elijah Craig, Old Forester, and others Just a tip for those in the area.
  20. Remarkable, huh?
  21. No clue...
  22. Ate at City Limits in Crandall again today. Can’t recommend this place enough. Clean, comfy, friendly, and all things delicious. Husband and wife team are there and kicking ass Wed-Sun. Killed a rack of ribs while wife had the brisket. And then the amazing pecan pie. No pics. Sorry.
  23. Jesus...how do some of these fuckers get out of bed in the morning...?
  24. Getting your fob back. And big bonus points for being an awesome Dad. Quite a story. Sounds like such a beating. Kudos on sharing your pain.
  25. So...pussy? Overrated? I think not...
