I love it. Great toasted barrel expression, but I understand some of the varying single barrel reviews. As Bozo has laid out so many times, opinions vary with single barrels.
I’m OK with how the game went last night. I expected a 40 burger from Harden. That would have sunk us. Thank goodness Treasures is open until 4am and Ty Lue has no balls to police that shit.
I didn’t see Zubs beating our ass like a drum and the Clippers playing with max effort on defense all game. I think the team maybe wanted to win one for Harden. I’d still be nervous as shit about the OKC getting their 2026 pick. Kawhi is one bad mental health week away from shutting it down. Harden can ball out all he wants, but he can’t save them from the lottery.
They’re going to full on blow Amazon and the networks for quality games. Not surprised.
The Pels will need a crazy game from Queen to keep it close, but we are 1000% losing the back to back in Denver. Scheduled losses are a fact of life in the NBA.
Mom and pops have a place in this world. Especially with their attention to store picks that the big box stores have no interest in. But they shouldn’t do this to their regulars. I’m sure y’all would gladly pay $400 cash for BTAC. There’s still making money, and their regulars get a terrific bottle. Win-win.
Well Michigan has their media people rowing in the same direction.
Eisen: I didn’t know anything. I heard a horrible rumor that I couldn’t believe. But I didn’t know anything.
Portnoy: Personal issue. Not an institutional issue. Nothing to see here. Move on everybody.
A guy on another message board admitting to spending $22k in 9 months at the Midtown Spec’s. He’s had some nice Vault pulls, but he’s not exactly blowing me out of the water and I’ve spent a small fraction of that. There’s some bottles like Heaven Hill 19 or OF Presidential that know I’m never going to get and that’s just fine.
Not a bad week. WLW and Lot B. About what I usually get for Christmas. No idea when I can pick it up. Their turnaround is is averaging 10 business days.
Gilligan was inspired by 2 things. The rise of AI and Covid.
AI is obviously the virus.The ensuing disaster is Covid.
Some people like AI. Some people liked staying home during Covid. Let’s call them an analogue for the Others, people like Laxmi that want to join the hive mind, and Others sympathizers like Diabate.
Vince is asking what it means to be human. If we let AI do everything for us, are we still human? If Carol asked the Others (AI) to bury Helen while she drank iced tea and chatted with Zosia (ChatGPT) on the back porch, is she really mourning Helen?
She did it herself with immense pain and exertion. She bled, sweated, and cried over Helen’s grave. She suffered. She mourned. She achieved emotional closure.
MSRP on Eagle Rare and ETL essentially doubled. Blanton’s is a cool $90-95 now.
I still think ER is a good buy at $50, but I won’t buy another bottle of Blanton’s or ETL unless I’m forced to in a bundle situation. Weller 12 and Antique have been $50 for several years.
They priced ER12 well. I believe it’s the same price as ER10. The new cask strength Sazerac rye is supposed to be under $50. BT is kind of a mixed bag on MSRP.
