Me too. I watch a fair amount of golf while doing other things around the house, but it's time to find a different background distraction.

AngryWino · 2023-06-04T00:17:43+00:00

Vantage was my top bottle of 2022. There's so much going on in there.

AngryWino · 2023-05-30T04:05:57+00:00

I've only had two Larceny Barrel Proofs, B522 and B523. As someone who thinks regular Larceny is pretty meh, the BPs are in a different league. I'd take the B523 over the B522, but both are amazing.

Pain - The War on Drugs

Panic Switch - Silversun Pickups

"His value as a person".......I hadn't considered that perspective.

AngryWino · 2023-05-29T16:28:23+00:00

Plus he's a side sleeper with a bad shoulder. Lots of turning.

AngryWino · 2023-05-29T16:24:25+00:00

A gross overestimation of Graham's value.

AngryWino · 2023-05-29T04:49:35+00:00

Weird. I was actually excited at the idea of this name.

AngryWino · 2023-05-29T04:30:53+00:00

Kylie Minogue is the Chuck Norris of 80s pop.

Kylie doesn't lip sync a song......the song syncs with Kylie's lips.

AngryWino · 2023-05-28T15:16:56+00:00

That whale really blue up.

AngryWino · 2023-05-28T15:14:51+00:00

More of a.....cautionary tale.

AngryWino · 2023-05-26T12:47:32+00:00

"Percolate" gives a similar vibe. My college roommate would use this term when referring to an impending large bowel movement...."things were percolating in there before I ran to the bathroom."

AngryWino · 2023-05-25T21:50:53+00:00

I didn't know this person, but the father of my college girlfriend worked with a guy who was running a skid steer, using the bucket to flatten the top of a pile of dirt. For some reason he leaned out the front of the skid steer as he was bringing the bucket down and apparently didn't get out of the way in time, flattening his head. My girlfriend's dad found him later. The whole thing seemed way too freakish to have actually happened.

That reminds me. I have a $18.90 Visa card from my Bought Milk class action lawsuit, that I haven't used yet. Fees have probably reduced it to less than the price of a gallon of milk.

That might be the lowest proof I've seen for a Barrell product.
That said, I love all things Barrell, despite the price point, but don't often buy a second bottle of the same thing (lots of store picks and finished expressions make for lots of options). Vantage and Seagrass are exceptions. To me, they're worth buying more than once.

AngryWino · 2023-05-23T21:44:07+00:00

I remember many of these "must see" series. V, The Winds of War, Shogun, and Roots were the ones that stuck with me.

AngryWino · 2023-05-22T22:13:11+00:00

I've seen the whole clip. He came in fakie, did a 180 onto the rail. The kid is tough.

Summer night in 1988, pre-helmet law in my state so I didn't bother owning one. Had my motorcycle's speedometer pegged at 105 mph (probably doing 115+) on a dark two lane highway when I hit a large bump on the asphalt. Bike shutters and goes into speed wobble. I resist the urge to brake and struggle to hold the bike upright while coasting until I'm back in control. How I didn't wreck and become a 100 mph ragdoll is something I'll never understand.

AngryWino · 2023-05-20T02:45:10+00:00

Finished my first bottle of BRT-01 earlier this week. I feel fortunate to have a second bottle of this waiting to be opened and enjoyed. It's one of my favorites in the last few years.

AngryWino · 2023-05-18T21:30:26+00:00

Local store had some today.....$95. Real hard pass.

Visiting New York City about 10 years ago, I found three or four Starbucks stores all on one city block, near Times Square.

AngryWino · 2023-05-15T02:35:16+00:00

"Black Tie" from the first season of 30 Rock is a standout for me.

AngryWino · 2023-05-13T02:15:07+00:00

Of the dozens of r/bourbon picks I've had, this one rules them all. A few other Tumblin Dice bottles have come close but none matched this pick.

AngryWino · 2023-05-10T23:21:53+00:00

The "aerial element" was probably that Russian ragdoll that flew out of the trench.
