If you spend that much money on bourbon, you are an absolute mark. Gotdamn humanity is dumb.

****, glad you told me, drx! That was close.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, you’re welcome.

If you spend that much money on bourbon, you are an absolute mark. Gotdamn humanity is dumb.

But if you don't buy things that are popular and expensive how will people know that you are wealthy??? Get with the program, bub

I find the secondary bourbon market on Facebook interesting. Those dudes are nuts.

 

[wcc31]

Few weeks back, lass calls and tells me a Kroger by her work had 73 bottles of Weller 12 and was raffling them off if I wanted to meet her. So, I did and I’ve never felt like a bigger loser in my life. 400 people there ... for a chance to buy a $30 bourbon. It was awful. That ended any chance of me ever becoming a true bourbon nerd.

I guess if you have the $$$ to blow, bourbon is as good to spend on as anything else. But my Rip 10-year isn’t $300 better than my Col. Taylor Small Batch- I know that.

-nothing wrong with spending on stuff that makes you happy, life is short. My love of quality/well made *things* is well documented...and appropriately ridiculed. That said dropping real money on booze/waygu/other consumables on the reg blows my mind. Not judging at all...just no comprende.

 

[drxman1]

Guess that was part of the reason I was so tickled with my bourbon scores last week. Paid retail but get to enjoy the snootery.

If you spend $1800 on a bottle of booze, I will judge the **** out of you. Believe that.

Is this good judgment? Or bad judgment? Asking for a friend....

The two non-UK games I'd be watching today if I didn't have to drive out to the country to eat a bunch of food with a house full of tragically sober Baptists: Tennessee (-8½) - #BIRDGANG and Duke (-7½) - Zags.

The plan is to put my time in on Wednesday/Thursday, so that I'm free to drink beer and watch sports on Friday/Saturday.

(Spoiler alert: My plan won't work.)

 

[Brandon Stroud]

Tragically Sober Baptists

Saw them live at a little hole in the wall in Nashville opening for Jason Isbell iirc

 

[wcc31]

New SI mock has Johnson #6 and Washington in the 20s. Hoping we bring back a lot next year.

When you can buy a bottle for $650 and sell it for $800 it’s an investment. I’m not opening this bottle, but I am signing up at Kroger on Friday for a chance to buy a bottle(hopefully at normal prices) that I’d be willing to drink.

I’ve always preferred bourbon to any alcohol. Which I’m not an everyday drinker nor the type that wants to drink all day. Two or three glasses to end a stressful day, UK games, and holidays.

Surprisingly my wife let me live........of course I’m in charge of food for her families thanksgiving now, and she wants to open and drink it because “it’s that much for a reason”. I can’t even be mad, or even defend myself, when she says “how would you feel if I brought home a $700 purse, but wasn’t going to use it because it cost so much”.


Still truly impressed this liquor store 1 mile from my house had Old Fitz, Stagg, Pappy, Kentucky Owl and some other high priced bottle I can’t remember now on the shelf!

 

[drxman1]

Which Kentucky Owl?

 

[B Rax_rivals210137]

I’m not gonna drink it, it’s an investment

We are drinking it for thanksgiving

 

[krazykats]

Which Kentucky Owl?

I’ll stop in and check but he wanted $250

-bourbon :<=> beanie babies.

* Love my in-laws 9 years in. They are just great peeps. Got lucky.

* Speaking of in-laws and bourbon... Finished my 12-yr Elijah over the weekend with my MIL.

Having that side of the family over on Friday since we go to my sister's house in Ft. Thomas on Thanksgiving.

Lots of gluten frees and a few vegetarians on the wife's side, so I will be air frying some tofu with buffalo sauce for those freaks & smoking some wings for normal peeps.

Smoke roasting a couple of trip tips and a chicken for tacos. (black beans, corn, and diced avocados for the veg heads). Getting all of the fixings, sides and tortillas from my friends at Tortillaria Garcia.

I told everyone to bring something to help me stock the bar.

* I'm in charge of sweet potato bon bons on Thanksgiving. Basically mashed yams wrapped around a marshmallow, coated in cornflakes and baked with a pecan on top. I'm sure Adrian would hate it, so I will enjoy it even more.

 

[neilborders]

If I wasn’t allowed to resell it for a profit, I wouldn’t give $1,800 for all the bourbon that I could fit in the trunk of my car.

Give me a half-dozen ice cold Miller Lites, while cheering on the Univeristy of Kentucky football and Basketball Wildcats. Drink from a frosted mug for a real treat [cheers]

 

[BBdK]

Chad's wife stories crack me up - chick doesn't seem like a fast learner when it comes to he & his UK stuff. I lol replaying the moment in my head in which she walks in the room and tells him she has a nice group dinner planned during the UK/Louisville game. [jumpingsmile]


-Plenty of stores have all those bottles -- and they're all marked up at 500-1000%. The fun, to me, is hunting them for the occasional score at retail, or at least somewhat close.

The BSM Facebook group is wildly entertaining, for sure.

 

[Century Cat]

Which Kentucky Owl?

BTW, which one was passed around?

 

[drxman1]

BTW, which one was passed around?

Batch 2.

LFO must've toured on an old irradiated bus picked up in Chernobyl.

 

[wcc31]

- I think all these liquor stores going to raffles and **** is lame. Put them on the shelf and if you’re lucky or dogged enough, you’ll get them. Of course, it’s probably because these bourbon nerd social media groups call the flocks and ruin it.

- My wife is absolutely clueless about sports. Because of growing up in a household with raving lunatic Dolphins fans, she respects my fandom but she hates when I’m watching non-UK games.

 

[wcc31]

LFO must've toured on an old irradiated bus picked up in Chernobyl.

Was thinking the same thing- damn.

 

[drxman1]

Well to be fair, you had UK sports worked into your wedding vows (which is amazing), but I don’t remember her having to put up with anymore sports.

Law balls?

 

[BBdK]

Love the pace and aggression early for once!

 

[_Chase_]

Like Herro firing without hesitation and in rhythm.

 

[Kennedy_UK]

Man, Herro just needs to see a few go the net. Forcing it a bit too much...

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

Ok, Keldon :eyes:

 

[_Chase_]

Offensively we look 10 million times better.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

This Coach Cal/mic’d up thing is actually awful, and fairly embarrassing.

 

[Kennedy_UK]

Our 5s are [poop][poop][poop] on the defensive end. 8/10pts from Winthrop coming through Richards and Montgomery.

 

[Brandon Stroud]

Brad looks like a Scottish drug dealer from a Vice doc or some ****

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

Let em fly, Cats kay:

It would appear Cal installed some offense.

 

[UKwizard]

Foul lol

 

[Kennedy_UK]

Our ball defense is improving. We're over-pursuing the first dribble and giving up the cut-back lane, but these kids are starting to understand their own lateral quickness.

Still think this squad can be a very good defensive team.

 

[BBdK]

Johnson needs to focus less on yelling, and more on finishing.

 

[jwheat]

Johnson needs to focus less on yelling, and more on finishing.

And hitting FTs

 

[BBdK]

Hagans is the worst defender on the team. :100points:


Quade is the best guard we have, anyone (Mash) that can't see that is an idiot who doesn't understand basketball. Only guy that seems like he wants to run, always looking ahead to get a break started, and actually GOES SOMEWHERE when he does dribble.
