  1. I’m partial to the Bollinger Grand Anee ($130ish). Charles Heidseick in a NV brut or Rose is fantastic. The 1999 rose was out of this world. Reeder makes a good vintage rose. Others we like: Gaston Chiquet Pierre Gimmonet st Fils (blanc de blanc and Vintage extra brut are both excellent)
  2. Well, the house is clearly priced too high. The market will decide how much someone wants to pay for the house next to the lights.
  3. I like to clarify the deal: “So you are going to correctly tell me the store, city and state I purchased my shoes?”
  4. Certainly not not the former. However, it depends on how the gambling goes whether we get some sleep or taxi straight to the airport.
  5. Anyone mention Time Bandits? Also, the whole American Ninja genre was right up our elementary school wheelhouse.
  6. A small group of buddies and I headed there next week for a quick trip. Fly in early Friday morning, lunch at Patois, then cocktails, then Galatoires for dinner, then some cocktails, perhaps some gambling, then fly out the next morning at 9:30. Easy peasy.
  7. Who says romance is dead?
  8. What Sunns38 said. Never experienced the prototypical rude New Yorker in my years of working/living there.
  9. Would also work with: I believe this movie. A dude could jump off a mountain and not hurt himself, because he DID brace himself, and knew something about the levels of gravitivity and polarity.
  10. ERhine has the rye and gave me a taste. It’s really really nice. Btw, I decided it was time to open something from the 22 bottle hoard. This is as excellent as I remember.
  11. Back in the early 90s you could get a jack and coke in the big tea glass for $6. It was probably about 6 oz of booze and that $6 would go a long way.
  12. I woke up on the floor of some Japanese family's rec room, and they would not stop screaming.
  13. Backwards...
  14. Two great stops of progress in a row. Solid defense there. Now make them pay!
  15. That was a pretty nice drive.
  16. Jesus Christ, an old rich guy said something insensitive. He wasn’t a fucking monster. Have some respect for the dead.
  17. Hands. Leave it to LJ
  18. That was nice.
  19. Face mask? Fuck.
  20. Found this at my mother-in-law’s house. It will do (already killed the 1920 I brought).
  21. Probably old news, but first time I heard of it: At Specs today and the will-call guy was telling me the owner of 8th Row Flint (Yale and 11th) has a deal each Dec 26th where he calls in all his favors at Specs and sells all his allocated bourbons for cost (two of each of the pappy's and BTAC, and who knows what else). Seems like a fun idea.
  22. Thing is, Reacher is probably 50 by now. So Ray Stevenson would work.
  23. In college Brett Favre completed a 79 yard hail mary. Brett Favre, who threw so hard he would break his receivers fingers. So, yeah you're coworkers are morons.
