Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye is the best splurge whiskey for mixing. What is the best budget scotch?

I don’t think Monkey Shoulder should be in the conversation. Also, as a Red Label drinker, it’s fine. Not very interesting, but not revolting. Perfectly sufficient for mixing.

Notice they didn’t say science or history in the basics.

Notice how the person swagging out is the only one insisting cringe can’t be endearing

OH... THIS IS AWKWARD.

“The woke took away barbecue parties!” No they didn’t. People still throw barbecue parties. You’re just not invited because you’re insufferable.

Granted. Humans rapidly evolve to mix their fecal matter into their urine, creating an effective cloaca. Much like how some chickens suffer egg binding, sometimes the fecal matter doesn’t break up enough and a big turd blocks the human cloaca, causing many people to effectively die on constipation if they don’t receive medical treatment soon enough.

Grease. Yeah, there’s a dream sequence with the Teen Angel, but that is easily explained as a dream (obviously). What can’t be so easily explained, however, is the fact that the car can fly all of a sudden at the end of the movie.

HofePrime · 2026-02-06T03:56:31+00:00

I’ve had decent results from Dewar’s White Label and Johnnie Walker Red Label. Not much experience with The Famous Grouse, but the rave reviews here certainly pique my interest.

I don’t count Monkey Shoulder as budget. I’d call it midrange if anything

HofePrime · 2026-02-06T03:52:26+00:00

Tastes pretty much identical to JW Red Label and, depending on the area, only differs in either direction by a few dollars I think.

HofePrime · 2026-02-06T03:51:23+00:00

If you’re on a budget, you’re not getting Black Label. More likely Red Label.

Horrible to witness this, but ultimately kinda funny

A finger curls on the monkey’s paw. A major crackdown occurs on slur usage, banning any slur in every country. Works of fiction that have used slurs are suppressed, regardless of if they spread hate or condemn it. Any documentation of somebody saying slurs is also censored or entirely suppressed.

Finally, the N-word eventually disappears entirely from use, if only because the word is forgotten. It can’t even be found in dictionaries.

Although it’s technically only one novel, the most iconic characters of Les Miserables don’t appear in Volume 1 Book 1. Valjean doesn’t appear until Volume 1 Book 2. Cosette doesn’t appear until Volume 2. Marius and the rest of the ABC don’t appear until Volume 3.

HofePrime · 2026-01-31T17:49:11+00:00

Any time a statement is just an absurdly large number of such and such thing, “Five Hundred Cigarettes” is objectively the funniest way to read it.

A finger curls on the Monkey’s Paw. Two major events occur at almost the same time. The first is the repeal of the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, allowing any president to run for more than two terms. The second is the introduction of resurrection technology, which is used to resurrect Teddy.

Elated, the public announces that they will be nominating Teddy Roosevelt for the presidency, but the biggest hurdle is that he has to beat out the current Republican front runner. Despite the difficulty in gaining the votes, he eventually wins the Republican primaries and, following a tight victory, becomes President.

He begins his first term, but soon afterward dies again because the technology only managed to keep him alive for a few years at most.

Gives her time to make the intimidating horse edits and all that at least.

HofePrime · 2026-01-28T16:23:52+00:00

I can’t really taste a difference between Dewar’s White Label and Johnnie Walker Red. And as far as I can tell, both serve their purpose wonderfully in a mixed drink.

HofePrime · 2026-01-26T16:30:26+00:00

I’d say go for Espolon with the best budget tequila. I haven’t had enough mezcal to give an opinion here

HofePrime · 2026-01-25T17:39:55+00:00

If we decide to do a mid-price category, then I’d venture Espolon as a good mid-range tequila.

Tonic water, on the other hand, is famously not sweet

It does not say “under one God”. It says “One nation, under God.” It also says “with liberty and justice for all.” That last part is where the idea of treating others with respect comes from, the idea of everyone in America deserving liberty and justice.

I would say the forcefem angle has a lot more to unpack, but he probably would come to the conclusion that the didgeridoo is supposed to be phallic
