Your “Rejoice, For The Weekend Is Upon Us” Friday Evening Open Thread

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.

God Bless America!
God Bless America!

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.

Nikki Minaj is just bad. I am sorry. The song was good-ish, she is just fucking terrible.

If it makes you feel any better I look like the fat 12 year old nerd kid they cast in sitcoms after having to shave my beard today Moose

Get’s confronted with a sarcastic dick pic mention. Posts a song that says mighty mighty man 70 times. (I really am sorry Moose, the joke was just there)

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Other than missing the point of the song…. sure, I guess. As long as you crack yourself up; that’s what counts.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I didn’t say I didn’t love the song

If you are gonna default into posting dick pics, we want a new one every time

I think I might have trained myself to only fall asleep when I have people I am trying to avoid. Just an amazing life skill if you can learn it.

As a Sooner fan that had my belt and shoelaces taken away from me last weekend, I’m now trying to get by on the schadenfreude of other teams. Congrats texsa, ND, and USuCk, you’ve made my life a bit more bearable.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I was told by someone I wouldn’t have to re-login randomly anymore. I am more pissed my joke about gay ninjas is lost in the ethos.

G’Night, folks!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

It’s been an odd night to be sure.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It’s OK; they aren’t REAL Ninjas.

Unsurprised

This is begging to be a swordfighting image, but NOOOOOOOOOO …….

ALXMAC

1’st thought – those don’t look like Mortal Kombat characters

2nd – oooohhhhhhh

3rd – Why didn’t they use Baraka?

Damned right.

Unsurprised

She knows what she’s doing, and I admire that.

theeWeeBabySeamus

yep, mask or not, you know who that is. And I ain’t talking ’bout Robin. Probably.

I have a bunch of questions about the guy(?) painted out, but … At least it’s not a real dog.

I’m shocked these two ended up hooking up for real and have a kid together.
