No, you insufferable twat. I said "I think there's a slight chance he even gets the 50% today." It's funny how you talk about precision in words typed and about feelings. It's clear to me that you are projecting. You've shown yourself to be careless with words and their meanings and the fact that you are always looking for a fight indicates that you have some emotional problems as well. What are you really afraid of?

I've never been able to get into scotch. Recently someone recommended Laphroig to me, so I spent like $70 on a bottle. I hate it! I came to find out that it's like the peatiest peat peat of all the peaty peats, loved by only the most serious scotch heads. I'd describe the flavor as chewing on a dirty used bandaid torn from the infected foot of a diabetic shut-in.

I second that. I forgot to mention that one. A friend of mine made fun of me because the bottle and name make it seem lame, but it's really great whiskey.

Most recently, just the regular Wild Turkey. I'll go back and give 101 another try though. I drink it neat too. I've found that for me the returns start diminishing around $50-$60/bottle. And sometimes I don't even want to drink something that could be described as "smooth." That's when I grab the Jim Beam or Evan Williams, which are both pretty damn good, but they do have that nasty bite that I crave sometimes.

Good call. These are two I like a lot. Some of my other go-to's: Evan Williams Single Barrel Makers 46 John E. Fitzgerald Larceny Sometimes, I just go for regular old Jim Beam or Wild Turkey. There are so many good choices for bourbon that don't cost a lot. My all-time favorite inexpensive brand is regular Evan Williams. Just tastes great to me.

That's a great tribute. I hope they say the same about me when I'm gone. Rest in peace, Charlie.

The Espolòn Añejo. If you can find it, it's probably cheaper than the 1800. Around $28 I think. The others I mentioned are more than that, like $45 to $60. Tequila is on the expensive side these days due to some supply issues with the agave plants. But I think the Espolòn is really nice. I drink it neat. I tried it with ice too, but I like it better with nothin'.

Nice! I'll check those out. I've heard the Fortaleza mentioned fondly, but haven't gotten to it yet.

That's a pretty good margarita. By avoiding the margarita mix in a bottle, it's automatically better than 95% of the margaritas available. If you upgrade that triple sec to Cointreau (or Grand Marnier) it becomes even better. But it's debatable whether it's worth the cost. I'd gladly drink a pitcherful of yours with Triple Sec. Try sipping one of the tequilas I listed, either neat or with an ice cube or two. I think you'd be surprised how good it is. Especially if you happen to like good whiskey.

I recently discovered that I really like sipping good tequila. Previously, I had done the obligatory cuervo shots and had some margaritas varying in quality from awful to great and had the occasional shot of chilled Patron Blanco or somesuch, but I never realized that I could like actually tasting tequila. It's becoming my favorite thing to drink. Lately, I've loved sipping these tequilas neat: Herradura Añejo Don Julio Añejo Casamigos Añejo (This is the George Clooney tequila) Espolòn Añejo As you can see, so far I'm digging the añejos mostly. Ive always loved bourbon and añejo has that mellowed wood thing that I like. I may try working my way into the Reposados for more of the pure agave flavor. Anybody else have a love of nice tequila? Or care to recommend a favorite brand?

I worked at Ames as a teenager. It was a mess of an organization and was a ****ty place to work. I remember once getting a raise from $3.35/hr. to $3.40. The managers there were in a constant state of confused agitation and always treated the employees terribly. I quit on a Sunday so I could go home and watch the Bills on tv. Tangent: Who remembers Two Guys dept. store? I used to live right by one in Greece, NY in the 70’s.

She never breaks anything down when she puts it in the garbage. So, right after I put in a new bag, she fills it up to the top with like a milk carton and an empty Kleenex box. -
Short answer: yes I'm no Hillary fan and I'm not a partisan. I think both parties are disappointing. And I know how Hillary is viewed by 99% of the people who post here. Basically, any random person off the street would probably be better than Trump.
