A local restaurant has recently offered the 20-year-old Family Reserve. I've had a couple of pours and really, really wish I had a bottle of it. If I find one, it'll be by mail most likely.

At Alaska prices, that'll probably work out to about the same price as the cask bourbon. I'll definitely pick one up at that price. That $200 price tag must've been the restaurant's bottle price.

That's what we were told, anyway. I thought it was high, given that I paid about $90 for the cask strength bourbon...it was in the "jewel case" at the liquor store, for Pete's sake. What's the wheated going for down there?

On Saturday, October 9th, I attended my first formal bourbon tasting event at a local restaurant, The Spenard Roadhouse. The $40 ticket bought a seat to taste 5 whiskeys brought back from the bourbon chef's recent trip to Kentucky with a few appetizers in between. However, while the Roadhouse...

Farewell, "Mr. C" First an iconic TV mom and now one of the most popular TV dads.

Well, the "new" PC turns 2 years old this month, so I thought I'd post an update. My flight simulator "cockpit" continues to take shape. I've been flying with a yoke, throttle quadrant, and rudder pedals for quite a while now and I received two new panels in the mail a couple of weeks ago: a...

Ode to an Oosik Strange things have been done in the Midnight Sun, and the story books are full--- But the strangest tale concerns the male, magnificent walrus bull! I know it's rude, quite common and crude, Perhaps it is grossly unkind; But with first glance at least, this bewhiskered beast...

Just received a box of Cain 'F' Habano robustos.

Yeah, get some rest man. You look blurry as hell.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus. Here we were just joking around and Rob went and got all serious on me...as in one serious prize bomb. Thank you, sir!

But I haven't had enough KB oysters yet. We'll be in Homer this weekend, Jim.

Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week. Try the veal. Seriously, thanks to Robbmt for putting this contest on. There we a lot of funny entries.

For those familiar with airfield operations, here's one told to me by a ROKAF maintenance troop almost 3 decades ago: Your mother drives a "Follow Me" truck.

Yo momma's so fat, when you left home, you had to break orbit. Yo momma's so dumb, she thought fellatio was an Italian opera. Yo momma's so frigid, every time she spreads her legs, a little light comes on. Yo momma's so skanky, when she got knocked up with you, yo daddy just came on her shoes...

Oh, man. That's gonna make lunch difficult today.

Some folks are just too damn lazy to masturbate. I'd rather stick my tackle in a cold, wet bag of gravel. :sign:

Required reading? I couldn't agree more. Both the Declaration and the Constitution stand ready on my iPhone at all times. (apps).

We haven't had a bad experience there yet. I think Swissy likes the place too. Give a ring when you're ready to go.

Somebody mentioned bacon in another thread which reminded me of dinner this past weekend. The Wife® and I dined at the Spenard Roadhouse Friday evening. Everything was great up until we had dessert. That's when things took a turn for the fantastic. I draw your attention to the following menu...

Just to chime in on the question of nicotine addiction. Much depends on how often you smoke, what you smoke, how you smoke it, and your physical susceptiblity to it. Even if you don't directly inhale, you will still inhale some of your own smoke. Even if you managed to avoid doing that, you...
