Decided to check out the new SFU single for shits and giggles and saw that like/dislike ratio lmfao. Then I heard the vocals... man Chris Barnes STINKS. Who the fuck actually listens to this band?

It'd be a crime to let either the NZ or US elections slip by without posting this explicit cartoon by Johnny Ryan, haha:

Wife got me this for my birthday. Pretty damn good. Nice sweetness to it.



Friends mailed me a ton of stuff. We were playing D&D when my wife kicked in my door with a huge bag of stuff.

Happy burp day bud.

@Krigloch the Furious let me know how that Jefferson is. Laphroaig is awful to me. The smokyness is fine but the medicinal qualities of it are repulsive. Reminds me I need to have some Lagauvlin again or maybe Ardbeg. Fuck yeah on the Rare agreed though.

'bout what you'd expect from a $60 bottle of bourbon. Mellow, not much devil there. Corn-heavy mash bill with a lot of honey/caramel sort of sweetness.

tbh I have no idea what “about what you’d expect from a $60 bourbon” means because you’re basically in range for tons of great stuff before it gets totally overpriced and ridiculous. That being said Rare Breed is like $46 here and Four Roses single barrel is like $41 and those are my personal gold standard for the prices.

tbh I feel like Jefferson's is basically overpriced juice in a really nice bottle, (or gimmicky stuff like the aged at sea) in general, but I’d be glad to be proven wrong.

Fuck we get ripped off on booze here. 20 years ago when I drank Rare Breed it was about $40 but now it's between $80 and $95. Jeffersons is up around the same price although the Reserve is not readily available at all shops. Four Roses easily tops $100 a bottle but is available in so few places it may as well not be available.

Dingo dollars don’t help I’m sure. But hey I’ve always wanted to try Starward and I have no access to that at all. I’m going to assume you do lol.

Governments who see tax on booze and smokes as it's saviour is the big problem. Tax on smokes is something like 65% of the price and indexed to rise twice yearly. Booze is taxed by the alcohol content and rises biannually (I think). It does suck but it's one of those things that allows us to have free healthcare...and corrupt politicians.

Starward Single Malt is good but at $125 a bottle I will say it's not worth the price. There is cheaper alternatives straight from the distillery which can be as cheap as $65, or one they call a "whiskey cocktail" as low as $45 but there is also a top end option where it can be personalised, as in "made for ..." which has an increased alc content and a bigger bottle for $165.
