    Any particular brands you favor? I like Angry Orchard better than the others I've tried; Woodchuck is definitely too sweet.

     

     

     

    lol perhaps, but (thankfully) he's been largely away from the lab the last few weeks, and should be gone for good after July 31st. :D

     

    My ex left her Angry Orchard in the fridge. When I ran out of my beer the other day, I had no choice...all 12 of them were awful...I really don't like cider.

    I didn't see the jump. I imagine there are many more people who can do the jump than the walk. The walk is almost a singular talent.

     

    Oh come on, everyone here learned to walk before they were a year old...its not that hard. Pretty sure no one here has been to space and back in the same day.

  11. Good whisky/whiskey

    So, I ended up with an unexpected Father's Day gift. We had a little fire going in the backyard and a neighbor stops by. He's carrying a bottle. Asks me to get a couple glasses. Not entirely out of character, but I wasn't expecting it either. Says he has something new for me to try. It's an Irish whiskey. John L Sullivan is the label. Never heard of it. The bottle says it is a small batch whiskey made by a small independent distillery in Ireland. COOL! Neighbor first tried it at a party and liked it. found and bought a bottle for himself. So, anyway....

     

    Sweet honey and nectar on the nose. And a little fresh baked bread too. Golden amber in color. Initial hit on the palate is sweet grains and honey. And a hint of something like over-ripe pineapple. Not a complex whiskey at all. But pleasant. Finish is long and enjoyable. But as the finish is long, it is also fairly mild. Subtle hints of vanilla and an almost incense like spiciness. And the pineapple is there in the finish too. Overall it is an enjoyable pour with enough there to be interesting but it is a mild, smooth whiskey.

     

    As for the rest of the story...... the neighbor went on to tell me that he went looking online to buy more and found out that the distillery was purchased by the company that owns Jameson's and was closed. CLOSED! Those imperialistic bastages! No more to be had. Told his son about it and his son tracked it down and bought him a case for his birthday. Now that is a good son! Neighbor got up to leave when the fire died down. I told him not to forget his bottle and he said, "No. That one is yours. Happy Father's Day".

     

    I have good neighbors.

     

     

    I think I've actually had that!!! The commissioner of my hockey league came back from Ireland with a bunch of private labels a couple months ago and Sullivan was one of them...I was a wee bit in the bag when I tasted it, I don't remember it being overly spectacular, but it was definitely appealing. The best of the bunch was a very small batch private lable that struggling to recall the name of, but its privately distilled in a zillion year old family castle in Ireland and I'll have to get back to you with the name.

     

     

    As for me, white trash night! Jack Daniels neat

    Studies have shown that the best age of a man for a woman is 1/2 his age, plus 7. Don't know how, or why they decided to study that but I've noticed it holds true in many cases.

     

    If I had to hang out with a 21 year old girl all day I'd seriously struggle with resisting the urge to commit murder.

    Well hell, after that I can't complain at all!

     

     

    Stupid complaint today. At my sons school track and field right now waiting for him to run and it becomes painfully obvious that I cannot stand any other person present other than my son.
