    I thought Chris was tomorrow but it's close enough to go ahead and say it. ;)

    If it's not him, there is definitely someone else on here whose birthday is today.

    My complaint: people who say FML. No ofense to the millenial, because I see this on my Facebook page from other younger people and it drives me nuts: "drove all the way into school in a snowstorm only to find class canceled. FML" or dropped my keys in a puddle. FML"

     

    Point them to http://lmgtfy.com/

     

     

     

    Amen. Not sure if it was me who said that or if I repeated it, but it's the truth. Venting helps the pressure escape.

    I hate when people point to http://lmgtfy.com/. (not always, but often). If I'm on the computer, chances are I have already Googled it and haven't found what I was looking for or not found something as specific as I want.

    It is... he's about 16 1/2. Fairly healthy otherwise, but holy cow I'm tired of cleaning poop all the time.

     

     

     

    Happy birthday?

    :lol: Thanks. Me, along with Wayne Gretzky, Eddie Van Halen. and I think Chris in UT(?).

    Ten years ago, today, I played my first ever game of ice hockey on a frozen pond in Juneau, AK. It was my birthday and Super Bowl Sunday. After we got done, we went and watched the game, made wings and drank til we couldn't. What an awesome day.

     

    Today, I'm ten years older and stuck at work in New Jersey.

     

    Oof, what a horrible juxtapostion that is.

    That's funny. Another plus: you won't need to crap for a few days. lol

    Nice. I just read that in the Post Reeming literature.

     

    Another funny line - After the test you may feel bloated. This will be relieved by passing the air rectally. Thanks,.. I wasn't sure.

    Some pretty good stuff here today. Definitely some good therapy going on.

     

    My complaint. I got a colonoscopy today. That's not my complaint. You would think that with all the no eating and shissing and the whole tube up the butt thing that that would be my complaint. It's not. That's just something you have to do.

     

    My complaint is that my life is so crazy, raising a high energy, low functioning, autistic seven year old, that getting a colonoscopy actually felt like a spa day. I can't remember the last time I just laid in bed for an hour and a half, in silence, and just relaxed, without the threat of someone dropping a book or toy on my head or having to jump up because she is going to pull the refrigerator on top of herself. The drugs were pretty good, too.

    D. Mentioned by SwampD in the "Complaint Thursday" thread, Pomplamoose frickin' rocks. Ignore her "Steven Segal" one-look pony or whatever. Her vocals are smouldering. and DAMN she's hot! Not to mention that they're just a fun, fun band.

     

     

     

    Eyes and Voice. What else do you need?

     

    Grapefruit, what a great name.

     

    The goods:

    • Planning a cross-country bike trip this summer via Montana and Oregon. It'll be my longest trip on the bike *by far*.
    • I've completed most of the Buffalo Cuisine Tour including: Seneca Texas Hots vs. Louie's Texas Red Hots challenge, Buffalo-style pizza, and beef on weck from Bar Bill. Need to complete the wings and fish fry objectives tonight.
    • I'm not *that* sick.

     

    Have a friend driving down from N.T today. He's bringing a half backed pie from Pizza Junction. F'N fantastic!

    Alex is very proficient, but doesn't much 'soul' or 'heart' in his playing. I guess it depends on how you rate things.

     

    Errrr, Alex is #98 in the above link.

    So he is. It's been changed since the last time I looked at it and he's still beneath her. :blink: I'm guessing my definitions of soul and heart are different from yours,.. a lot different.

    I want ice for the back yard rink!

     

    bio - I hate 99% of christmas cookies ever made - the only ones worth eating are my mothers- because they taste delicious and I know I could eat off the floor in her kitchen - have you ever been to someone's house and vowed never to eat anything they ever make again? I can't tell whose jello mold has cat litter in it, won't risk it, and most of the time it doesn't matter because they can't cook or bake for ###### anyway.

     

    OK - the avatar stays until 12/25.

    I like the avitar. Where'd you get that picture of Fitzpatrick?

    I have four really cool things I've been invited to this weekend, in four different cities (Philly, Buffalo, NYC, and Finger Lakes). I can only do one. I'm going to miss a party, The Slackers in NYC, and 'The Twelve Bars of East Aurora' bar crawl since I've already paid for the all day winery/brewery limo tour of Cayuga Lake.

    Oh, to have your problems.

    I really can't stand the little tags they put on extension cords and Christmas lights by the plug. Does anybody actually read these anyway. Guess what, I already know that if I decorate my Christmas tree while taking a bath, electrocution and death may occur!

     

    ...and if someone doesn't know this, then maybe the herd needs to be thinned out a little anyway.

  25. Good whisky/whiskey

    Tonight's featured libation was Van Winkle "lot B" 12 yr bourbon. I've had a couple Van Winkle labels but this particular one was a first taste. All of the Van Winkle bourbons and ryes that I've had to date have been high quality. This one was no exception.

     

    Van Winkle bourbons are "wheaters", ie. they substitute wheat for rye in the mash. This one was heavy with vanilla character, and spicy yet had a sweet finish. Almost caramel. 90 proof so the sweet was balanced by the alcohol warmth. It had a fruity character that went with the sweet, almost reminded me of marachino cherries. Imagine creme' brulee with the barest hint of sweet cherry. I had mine with 2 small ice cubes that quickly melted. The added water really allowed the whiskey to open up.

     

    This might be the most interesting bourbon I've ever had. It is a touch too rich and sweet for drinking on it's own but as an after dinner drink it is top of the heap. I would imagine it pairs nicely with a big, tough, robust maduro wrapper cigar. A fantastic special occasion tipple.

    I would bet that reading your description of a bourbon gives me way more pleasure than I would get if I actually drank it, and I like bourbon.
