Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
Ah fuck. Remember him for the exact same reason. (I wonder how many 80s players I remember I’ve never actually seen play a game. Like I assume I’ve seen him but it’s possible it was just cards and reading?) ((Fun fact I just learned: He signed his name and in writing was U. L. but that wasn’t his b...

Re: Apples 2014
IMO the best apple is the Macoun - which is a cross between McIntosh and Jersey Black. It's window is only like 4 weeks though (mid autumn between Oct into Nov).

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Simple loophole: You storm if you lose. Programs with large fanbases would be able to exploit that against teams within driving range. Or, you'd see some unfortunate brawls with security. The answer is to require X number of security at each game relative to tickets sold (or given away). Like I sai...

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
I think if Event Management in these arenas take their job seriously, they can squelch court storming enough so that the teams can GTFO the court. But yeah, a half dozen security guards trying to protect the perimeter? No. That's not even half the # of guards you'd need. The correct # of guards and ...

UConn just beat the snot out of #4 ranked Marquette by 28 points, and their likely lottery pick, Stephon Castle only scored 3 points today. Their depth is hilarious.
Re: Bourbon
It's a good blend. Fruity. Herbal. Subtle pop. At under $40 I'd consider it a steal. Definitely makes me want to try the rye and then the bourbon that made this bourye.
Re: Bourbon
How is it? I've looked at that bottle many times. I have a new favorite Bourbon. New Riff Single Barrel. I really enjoyed their Rye, too (see upthread). Label says orange peel and black cherry, I get a bit of peach. It'd be great with BBQ. https://www.wineandcheeseplace.com/images/sites/wineandchee...
Re: Bourbon
So I thought I'd do something for the environment today, so I stopped off at the liquor store and bought some Lost Monarch, a blended, Redwood Empire Whiskey (it blends I think 60% of their straight rye whiskey, and 40% of their straight bourbon). Oh, and they plant a redwood for every bottle they s...
