everyone, please don't neglect to take some swipes at Seahawks. He's asking for attention again.

just think, he was once just a zygote. So were child rapers and suicide bombers. Not everyone gets to live. they get to be killed after they prove they deserve to die.

you were excepted all right.

just the "kickin' chicken"

I thought you got banned? You mean cause the Nazi's banned be for a weekend becuase they don't agree with me. Its okay, I just know what type of person they are. they banned you because you're a "clueless twit".

Like death penalty? I don't practice that either. Did I hit a nerve, you hypocrite? Easy to "call out" others, but not face up to your own bullshit, is it?

yes, with caffeine

just look at the kid, and think "what if my s.o. thought of him as an 'it', a zygote, a mistake, non-human, or 'inconvenient'". Seems hypocritical to me. Could be. But hey, at least I am consistent! Under certain conditions, I am able to accept war, death penalty, and abortion. Oh, and hunting. Top that. quit arguing with me! I want to pick on Kevboner!

but it's so great to be a dad...

hey kevbone, you wanna know what hypocrisy is? it's a guy who posts fawning pic's of his kids in a sensitivioso thread and talks about how great fatherhood is, then goes on an on about abortion rights.

Amen.

some seem to be able to "kill them" just fine - why would "giving up" a baby be any harder? in actuality you do the latter by doing the former.

wow, I thought you were exaggerating. :-/ you should call the company ... maybe they have an idea. aren't you afraid of trying other bourbons? you could have the same reaction from some other brand...

i see nobody has had the guts to refute this yet. all you whiners who said Bush stole it from Gore in 2000 should be a little less hypocritical and admit that Kerry stole it from Kucinich in 2004. liberal You gots it all wrong.... Bush stole it from McCain in 2000.

that's a pretty big assumption there.

Psychosomatic? Had a bad experience with it in college? I know quite a few people who almost start to dry-heave at the mention of Southern Comfort, or peach schnapps. But seriously, maybe there is really something in it that affects you negatively? Each of these whiskeys does use a different blend of ingredients (rye, corn, etc), processing, and storage.

I've been meaning to try it, but have read mixed reviews on it. Eventually I'd like to. Unfortunately our crappy state liquor stores don't sell many of these in 50 ml sizes. Those are a great way to try something. I've tried several that way. You can special order, but, if the store doesn't think they can sell the item, YOU have to buy a whole case yourself.

I don't think so... the cheap stuff seems to be really inferior to me. Say, Early Times or Ezra. In a blind study, I'm pretty sure I'd say that those are piss-water. But as you get into the higher end stuff, I bet there are cases where this would occur. All I care about is what tastes good to me and I enjoy. For a less expensive drink, I'd say the WT101 is pretty damn good. I've been putting off buying Blanton's to be honest, because I don't see how it could possibly be TWICE as good as WT 101 - and yet it's twice the price. And doing a blind taste test might actually be a good way to taste some of those. I'm not sure how you'd do the test though... part of enjoying whiskey comes after swallowing a sip, enjoying the aromas, the bite, the finish - not like wine where you spit it out? You'd be too drunk to know the difference before you tried very much, I'd think. Personally, I start to lose the ability to really taste after about 60ml.

Amen, sister! And I also think the term "hypocrisy" is thrown about a bit too much - period. Really, the term people mean is "inconsistency" but use "hypocrisy" because of its negative connotations (more effective in ad hominem attacks), as well as thoughtlessness and propensity to widespread overuse.

Bump. OK, summer is over, and so are the mojitos, gin and tonics, negronis, and caipirinhas. It's time to return to the uisce beathas, including good old American bourbon. Following the advice from this thread, I bought MM90 last december, and just finished it off about a month ago. I've been exploring a bit, and here are my evaluations: Maker's Mark: didn't enjoy sipping it. Makes a good mixer for cocktails - tried it in a Manhattan, Ward 8, Sazerac, Mint Julep, and Old Fashioned. I liked all, however, I've decided I prefer most of these cocktails with rye whiskey instead (see below). The exception is the Ward 8 which really needs that distinctive bourbon flavor. Wild Turkey 101: I bought a small bottle for a TH beverage, and sipped it neat. I found it it to be surprisingly good - very peppery, and with all the other good flavors of bourbon. A pleasant surprise. I have yet to try it in cocktails. Knob Creek: this stuff is dangerous. I bought a bottle a couple of weeks ago and it's more than half gone already. Super smooth, very sweet, a delicious dessert drink. I would never dream of mixing this stuff in a cocktail. My favorite so far. Eagle Rare 10 year: just picked up a bottle and have only tried one pour. It's similar to Knob Creek, but not as sweet and with a little less complexity. Very good, however. I'll need to try some more before making a final call on it. Wild Turkey Rye 101: not a bourbon of course. I bought it as a substitute for bourbon in cocktails when my MM90 ran out. I prefer it in Old Fashioneds and Sazeracs. It makes a great dry Manhattan. Very good stuff. Like the WT 101 bourbon, it's high quality for a lower price. I tried sipping the stuff, but it was not smooth enough for my taste. I'd like to try one of the other ryes out there... they're tough to find (with the exception of the ubiquitous Jim Beam). Not sure where to turn next for my explorations. I've got Woodford's and Russell Reserve on my tick list. Am also interested in trying Bulleit and 1792.

nothing else to do since the rains have started? so, let's rehash the same endless debates, is that the idea here Boner?

You too? It's hard to find aficionados of those long attention span board games in the modern age. monopoly sucks... once the scales begin to tip in one direction, it's a slow painful death for the person with an inferior set of properties.

"this is the question"... for you maybe... :-)
