  1. Wife went London for work for four days. She hit the duty free in heathrow. Glen Deveron 16 yr is on cast cartel for $320. Duty free in heathrow for $50. We have a Fettercairn 12 yr that we really like. Excited to try the 18 yr. I picked up the Balvenie 12 in american oak and the 14 carribean cask based on recommendations in the scotch thread and they’re delicious. 18 yr PX cask is very promising. Wife went to Scotland last Nov and got the glenkinchie distiller’s edition 12 yr. It’s very good. I can’t wait to try the 27 yr. Heathrow duty free fucks.
  2. I don’t know shit about dating since the advent of social media but I’d be very surprised if people don’t look at social media posts to filter candidates. If a guy’s social media has incel / far right red flags, that’s gonna be sex repellent.
  3. * See republican presidents Ronald Reagan and game show host Donald Trump for reference
  4. Republicans had the house, the senate and trump in 2017-2018 and didn’t pass any border legislation. That’s my response to that bullshittery. GTFO with any border issues. You had your fucking window, bitches.
  5. AREN’T YOU PROUD OF ME?!?!!!!!! Your daddy issues are showing, Representative.
  6. They’re only comfortable operating in an echo chamber. Reminds me of a conversation with my sister-in-law. My BIL was discussing starting a business; she was against it because of the bad economy. I asked her what metrics she was using to label the economy as bad. She was just silent. Prior to this she was talking about the world economic forum, bill gates, vaccines and “do your own research”. Obviously a Qdiot so I knew she couldn’t answer a follow-up question.
  7. My favorite part was when he talked about getting rid of the gross sock smell in the model 3 and model Y. His company is committed to good smells.
  8. The GQP dipshits are, once again, projecting the shit they do onto others. Following the trump playbook, they call something rigged when they know they’re the losers.

    Vinyl

    I’m a frequent buyer on discogs. I’ve had numerous good purchasing experiences and only two bad ones there where the seller was disingenuous about having the item I ordered. Both sellers eventually gave me a refund.
  10. Do you have a gin preference? I’m not a gin drinker but I suppose Tanqueray is the standard. I tried Esme gin and noticed a not insignificant flavor difference. Also, Tanqueray has 7% more ABV than Esme.
  11. Have at it, Dilbert
  12. One finger for each indictment?

    New Music 2024

    Yeah. Vedder mentioned the new album at the Ft Worth show and said they were performing at peak musicianship or something to that effect. Looking forward to the album and the tour. Wife wants to see them in Seattle. I hope that it works out with dates and work commitments.
  14. I got a four wheel drive and found is useful for the drive in and out of Waipio Valley. According to the googles, the road that accesses the valley is now closed except to locals. I recommend doing Mauna Kea at sunset at the mauna kea visitors center. When I was there in 2010, they would set up telescopes and volunteers would point out the stars with a laser pointer every night. Anyone could drive up and attend. It was a highlight of the trip. It appears that this is only done once a month and reservations are required. Bummer. https://www.lovebigisland.com/stargazing/
  15. If you’re in Oban, stop by the Oban distillery and find a bottle of the 2007 distilled 2021 bottled Oban Distiller’s Edition. My wife went to Scotland for 10 days and brought back this bottle. Of the 10 or so bottles she brought or had shipped back, it’s our favorite. Can’t find this specific bottle in the US.
  16. Ted at the airport, and it’s cold outside? It’s goddamn layup to yell “Hey Ted! You headed to cancun again?”
  17. The Record Company brought it tonight. Opened strong with Life to Fix. Based on their social media posts, I get the feeling this may be their last shot at making it. If you get an opportunity, I recommend seeing them. I think their music translates better live than on their albums. It sounds stronger live in my opinion.
  18. This reads like the warning for happy fun ball. Do not taunt cybertruck
  19. Party of personal responsibility
  20. When I was 18 and a freshman at OU, I was an undiagnosed type 1 diabetic. My body was breaking down and I didn’t know why. It started sometime in the summer after graduating high school in norman. After a couple months, I was in bad shape but just kept motoring on like a dumbass who thought himself invincible. Eventually, I developed an intense pain in my sternum. Turns out it was pancreatitis. My pancreas was digesting itself. This was around the first week of Oct. I go to the hospital and am in the ICU for a week. I get out of the ICU and put in a regular room for a week to recover and learn how to inject insulin. While in the room, two noteworthy things happen: baby jessica falls in the well and the stock market crash of ‘87. I watched the news coverage of those events all week. Just like heaven was the song of the moment for me at the time. It takes me back to that strange week that marked the point where my life changed.
  21. Seeing The Record Company in deep ellum next thurs.
  22. My expectation is for you to pull one of these.
