I don't ever like my first or second glass of scotch but the several after that taste excellent.
I'm not sure what it is about scotch that doesn't fit my tastes. I want to like it, I just don't. I love bourbon though.

Hot take: I hate beer. Don't understand how anyone enjoys drinking it.

I'm game for tequila, learning to enjoy scotch...just don't get beer. It simply doesn't take good to me.

Not only have I never tried an alcoholic beverage I liked... I'm allergic to alcohol. Instant stomach cramps and vomiting.

Is the beer at BJs actually good? I don't think I've ever tried it.
Can't remember because it's been a while, but there are some good ones. If you like dark beer, I think I remember the Porter being good.

I've had plenty I liked. I make a hell of a blueberry lemonade with my own blueberry infused vodka.

That said a lot of grain alcohol takes like paint thinner.

Never outright drank it but I've done about an assload of paint and body work. Work on cars as much as I have and you can tell someone what virtually every car related fluid tastes like.

Hint: not good.

I wish I was a guy that knew how to work on cars. I've always liked the idea of restoring something, but I won't have someone do it for me bacause I feel like I'd need to know something about working on it myself. Although on new models, it seems like you may need a laptop more than a wrench.

Interesting.

I don't like scotch. I think there are a lot of people that pretend to like scotch that secretly hate it.
Totally agree about scotch. People tell me it's an acquired taste. We'll I'm not up for something I've got to force myself to like.

Scotch is great. You guys that don't like it probably killed your palate over the years with coors light.

Our palate has improved, to the point that we agree that it's hard to like something that tastes like wood and lawn clippings.

I think cheap scotch tastes terrible. Can't stand the stuff.

Then I had a buddy introduce me to Glenlivet 18 and I thought, "oh wow. I get it." My recommendation for people who aren't scotch drinkers on finding a good scotch is to get yourself 2 fingers of Macallan 15. If you don't enjoy drinking that, then scotch probably isn't for you.

The mom does Leelas voice on Futurama. She went from one underrated show to another.
she was also on Sons of Anarchy and 8 Simple Rules (which i loved until John Ritter sadly died)

She was awesome on Sons. Also, she's married to the show's creator.

Nico nicotera an actor from SOA and I went to high school together. I've never seen a single episode.

And her name is Katie segal

Bro, you've never seen SOA? You've got to fix that. It's bad ass. I'd watch it all over again. Pretty cool you're friends with Ratboy

Buncha fruity pantsed beer snobs. It's not like we're talking about something important like whisky.
Beer snobs are the worst.
Music snobs equally so :p

Which is worse:
A beer snob discussing music or a music snob drinking beer?


Often they're one and the same. With their MacBook Pros and their horn rimmed glasses... manicured and oiled lumberjack beard and ironic flannel...

Post flagged for profiling. Some of us were into craft beer and music before the hipster d-bags were. Don't need the glasses (my vision is better than yours, just like my taste in beer and music), my beard is well trimmed sans oil and isn't housing any rodents, and I wear ironic t-shirts (proud father of an Aggie scholar), not flannel.

Ironic NoZe is ironic. Btw thank you for your service.

Try a Balvenie 18 or 21. Crazy good. One I recently tried that I like a lot is Loch Lamond. I had the 12, and it was nice if you like a smokier flavor.

I love bourbon, too. Blanton's is my go-to there.

Sorry to do this, but I'm going to have to taunt you with the fact that this morning at 9:00 a.m. I went to the grocery store and picked up a six pack of Firestone 805 (for me), a bottle of tequila (for Mrs. desertbear) and eggs (for breakfast).

You need to move somewhere that doesn't have silly laws.

She's an abomination to all that is holy about country music.

Years ago I had a buddy who's father was a Nashville music producer. One time we were over his house listening to country music when a Shania Twain song came on. He and I we're talking about how crappy the song was when suddenly his dad chipped in, "Oh yeah, I've got a box full of Eileen's audition tapes in the studio. Good-looking woman. Wish I had known when she was auditioning that one day autotune was going to be invented."

Driving in a 50 mph 3 lane right now, green light at the intersection, and this idiot runs the red light to turn, and of course, of the 3 lanes, picks mine, and proceeds to go 20.

I'm raging. Drive up, intending to get next to them for at least a stare down... And as I get closer I see an A&M alumni bumper sticker, license plate, and chrome emblem.

I went from rage to kinda feeling bad for him. It takes real courage to try to operate a vehicle with that condition. Hang in there little guy.

Absolutely not.

Craftsman used to be pretty decent hand tools. They aren't that any more.

Same for SK

I have probably 60k in Matco tools but other guys swear by snap-on or Mac. I prefer the Snap-on wrenches to the other brands. They are, however, approx $35 per wrench. So let's say an 8mm-24mm set is something like $500 bucks.

Craftsman stuff is fine for home use and it's not crappy junk but it's certainly not high end tooling.
