NFL News:
Finally, it’s been 15 years (September 23, 2001) since the hit that changed the NFL:
Thanks Mo Lewis. Putting Drew Bledsoe in the hospital brought on the rise of The Dreamboat, The Hoodie, and the start of most Patriots fans fandom.
So, in the past I’ve done a “Malt of the Month” write-up, brought to you via “The Whisky Exchange”, a British mailing list I belong to. It’s mostly booze-porn but I’ll usually order 1-2 bottles/year of product you can’t find in Canada. I have to ship it to the US because it’s cheaper, and because you can’t order hard liquor by mail in BC.
Well, much like Playboy used to have those bi-annual “Special Editions”, the mailing list sent out a doozy of a “Special Release” notice the other day. Included are both special release editions from famous distilleries and released inventories from shuttered distilleries. Among the highlights:
BRORA 1977 – Distillery closed in 1983.
Age: 38 years old.
ABV: 48.6%.
# of Bottles in release: 2,984
Price: £1,425
Nose: Waxed boots and jackets, damp blankets and dogs, meaty touches with a hint of farmyard, autumn-leaf bonfires, musty cheese rind (in a good way) and a touch of tinned pineapple.
LAGAVULIN 25 YEAR OLD – 200th Anniversary Limited Edition
Age: 25 years old
ABV: 55%
# of bottles in release: 8000
Price: £799
Nose: Leather, salty peat, seashells, salted butter and sharp sea-spray. Rounded Crunchie-bar sweetness and fruity notes sat underneath, with sultanas, rich fruit cake and dark chocolate. Punchy medicinal notes and bung cloth are balanced by elegant waxed jacket notes, barley sugar, fruit gums and a hint of barrel char.
PORT ELLEN 1978 – Distillery closed in 1983.
Age: 37 years old.
ABV: 55.2%
# of bottles in release: 2,940
Price: £2,450
Nose: Sugared almonds, chamois leather, sherbet lemons, oily smoke, a hint of empty fish tins, brine, floral heather honey and bung cloth – an avalanche of flavours which work impressively well. As things calm down in the glass, spicy rye bread, musty green ferns and touches of hay appear.
It’s an intense dram, with water only adding more intensity – one to drink neat.
For the whisky drinkers among the Commentist Party, I give you your new gods.

Apologies for a truncated preview – our site maintenance is still fucking a lot of things up but we are so grateful to have the guidance of Internet Dad, aka our very own Darkest Timeline Zack Morris, working hard as hell to get everything fixed up. He’s a solid dude. Anyways, for those of you still currently able to log in – enjoy the open thread tonight as much as you can. Have fun! – The Maestro
I drank an obscene amount of booze last night. Like kill any normal person who does that. I was up at 7 am. What is my plan for today to avoid the Chicago idiot visitors? I am thinking fake seizures. I don’t like to use that because they have almost killed me a few times, but I can’t listen to a 3 hour rant about how the Tea Party is a grassroots movement even though it ONLY has people making more than 150k at the rallys you go to.
Pretty chippy (Damn rough!) half of AFL footy on FS2. Think I’ll stick around for the second.

She is a goddess too. I can’t help you if you have a problem with her
Ok. I was the worst, but she is a god damn godess, right?
I love the typo in here too
I am back to double replies. Still just as shitty as I was when I was the only one posting replies only people with knowledge cared about.

Funny thing for only me. I spelled the first thing wrong.
Cheers brother; it’s the same time here. I’m trying to encourage U, but not trying to encourage U to drive tipsy.
I like I spelled pants wrong. It seems right
I also refuse to wear pans. Gotta draw the line somewhere….

I still refuse to wear pans. Also will fall face first on my shitty bed

You know this is exactly what gay guys in the closet do? I have a hockey friend that tried to dip his balls in my mouth on more than one occasion. In his defense I did steal his GF, in mine he is gay and won’t admit it. He has kids now.
What dance? Gangstas don’t dance we boogie.
