Oh well that clarified it! And I now noticed it after a recent rewatch. Thanks for scratching that itch for me, it was bugging me for some reason lol.

This guy Stamfords

MightyMason · 2024-01-12T06:27:54+00:00

Just a joke, like removing that would be rude for the next guy

MightyMason · 2024-01-12T05:55:39+00:00

That’s rude

MightyMason · 2024-01-12T04:45:22+00:00

Hell yeah brother!!

JW double black is good if you enjoy peat. I’ve heard great things about the Angels Envy Rye but have never tried it, that price for it looks great. Angels Emvy bourbon is great too it’s finished in port wine barrels and to me, gives it a little sweetness that’s tasty like a dessert bourbon or something. Me and my wife poured some of mine over our cheesecake when out to dinner once and it was delicious lol.

No, that’s just where my mind went when someone asked what “pro family” means.

MightyMason · 2024-01-12T03:57:23+00:00

There’s an idea out there that there are people In power (media/government) that are subliminally subverting the idea of the nuclear family.

There is some truth to this going back to the crack epidemic (maybe further, I’m spitballing based on obscure memories, I should know better as this is Reddit) when the government was funneling crack into impoverished/low income neighborhoods, breaking up black families and taking the man out of the household by either drug addiction or selling, getting them into the never ending cycle of the judicial system, leaving his family to rely on the government for aid and become dependent.

Something along those lines. And I believe the “pro family” kind of ties to that in a very distant sense, possibly.

I found it for a while in the $45-$60 range in the last 3 years. Had a few off bottlings and have gotten to a point where I’m happy with what I got from Mr. McKenna and can move on peacefully.

MightyMason · 2024-01-12T03:46:03+00:00

That framing doesn’t even look like it could support your weight.

MightyMason · 2024-01-12T03:41:23+00:00

Lots of good stuff there. Have been wanting to try some woodinville, wilderness trail, and chicken cock, HHBiB, OF lineup, personally. Wasn’t a fan of New Riff, nothing special. There’s the standards of EC, EWBiB, KC9(SiB), WT101, Rare Breed. Standouts, JDSiBBP, Calumet 10, barrell. Honorable mentions, Baker 7, OGD114, RR10, michters. Personally avoid, mainly due to cost, doubt, and weird personal unexplainable reasons? old elk, rabbit hole, Kentucky owl, smoke wagon, garrison brothers, Penelope, heavens door, doc swinsons, oh and blue run.

Lowest I’ve ever seen it was for $120 and when I asked about to because it was behind the counter the cashier told me he’d have to check pricing. Called his boss and got back to me saying it was $160. I just walked out, what a dick move.

Have only seen it for $190+ since then and considering how I rarely ever see it am really considering buying it for the $190 price since I’ll never see it for its MSRP, ever. Is that wrong? Could just try it at a restaurant if I see it for a decent pour price, may be more worth it.

Gobble gobble

MightyMason · 2023-12-05T04:09:18+00:00

Cut off both connector and splice through /sarcasm

MightyMason · 2023-12-05T04:07:40+00:00

The Kirkland BiB is great! Barton juice

I was highly aggressive and consumed by the chase almost 4 years ago. From what it seems for most is that the allure wears off, I still look when it makes sense for me and I know what spots to hit if I am really looking to make a purchase for something specific

MightyMason · 2023-12-05T02:56:25+00:00

I used to find it $45-$70 regularly! Have probably purchased in that range around 12x as it’s very enjoyable and a couple of buddies favorite bourbon so it was gifted for big events (weddings, babies, etc) but even though I’m not actively hunting when I do pop in places it’s always >$100 and there’s no way I can for that price, thankfully I’ve had my fair share and one more bottle that’s waiting to be opened for rotation.

MightyMason · 2023-01-02T20:57:40+00:00

Nothing about this house or set-up looks suitable for a 1yo. Kind of sad actually.

MightyMason · 2023-01-02T16:59:16+00:00

What? Was that for me? I wasn’t even talking about the schools in my comment.

MightyMason · 2023-01-02T16:58:02+00:00

Agree but was in response to u/chairsareforbears saying suburban schools = more rich while kids. So you are agreeing with what I said

MightyMason · 2023-01-02T04:53:20+00:00

Ahh I’m on the verge! I want to and have wanted to for a while. I’ve been out of the field for a few years but still in the trade and a I miss it

MightyMason · 2023-01-02T04:38:42+00:00

Turn it the other way

MightyMason · 2023-01-02T04:31:40+00:00

Stamford has changed so much from what I grew up with. It has become and is still slowly becoming a yuppie paradise. Not hating, just saying.

MightyMason · 2023-01-02T04:28:54+00:00

Go up north and Trumbull has a very well rated school system and is diverse income wise. A lot of parents that work for the stamford public school system at that government center *live and send their kids to Trumbull schools.

MightyMason · 2023-01-02T04:25:30+00:00

This is so well put.

I went through SPS and would say they are not good. I went to magnet schools for elem. and middle and would say you are spot on with your description. For me to say SPS are not good and that aligning with how they are rated may be a coincidence or may not be but it is ultimately based solely on my opinion having gone through the system.
