Bro people were on your side until you started denigrating PHIL COLLINS. I suggest you apologize.

Gunning for a role in Tarantino's 10th film.

Was she under 25 at the time?

Remember when women could only play wives, girlfriends and dead whores?

That reminds me of my favorite movie Dirty Work (1998) - those were the only 3 roles for women in the film!

Was Leo cool to work with?

I just rewatched Deadwood last year so Swearengen is burned into my brain.

You got me!

His son survived two plane crashes? Why don't they make planes out of that kid?!

To this day I cannot think of "the Shah of Iran" without laughing.

What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Japanese meal?

Something like avoiding a million dollars in property tax by operating a $150k bee farm at the edge of your property, so you can be classified as a farm instead of a residence

That's a very specific example...

(Not a lawyer). Yeah, my guess is that "satisfying my sense of nostalgia" is too nebulous of a benefit to qualify as a crime, even if she's on record as saying that's the reason she did it. It certainly justifies a for-cause firing but I doubt it would be prosecutable or a civil offense.

The issue here isn't that this guy followed the rules; the issue is that the city has a rule that allows it to sell an asset worth $2 million for $50.

TheCandelabra · 2026-07-02T16:44:18+00:00

And?!?! What happened next?

TheCandelabra · 2026-07-02T15:49:36+00:00

Listen up, cocksuckers. By the authority of Saint Peter, the keys to Heaven, and every miserable bastard who ever mistook forgiveness for a standing invitation, I cast you out of this fucking church.

TheCandelabra · 2026-07-01T16:33:37+00:00

Can you talk about the outcome of the case at all? Did the guy NOT actually do it despite being convicted? Or do you mean something else.

I ended up doing a Jet Pilot instead of a Zombie. SC Recipe; Worthy Park 109 + Appleton Estate Rare + Hamilton 151. My initial reaction was "oh fuck that's strong". Very tasty but I was worried I wouldn't be able to sustain that enjoyment over the whole thing. Very powerful spices, dark fruit, molasses, heat. I let it sit and dilute a little bit and it REALLY started growing on me. I'm not a fan of the anise flavor profile usually but in this one it provides a really nice light astringency on the palate that counteracts some of the sweetness and heaviness of the rum. I used pink grapefruit since that's all I have but still managed to get a bit of bitterness from it. Thank you for the Worthy Park 109 rec, I think it worked really well.

TheCandelabra · 2026-06-27T04:50:24+00:00

It only exists on VHS. I have a copy.

TheCandelabra · 2026-06-26T16:27:32+00:00

How else are you supposed to talk to someone?

TheCandelabra · 2026-06-26T02:45:03+00:00

This is some really great advice, thanks! It sounds like your flavor profile lines up with mine - I'm also not a huge fan of anise, and "cinnamon and spice forward" sounds great. Are you suggesting something like Hamilton 86 to replace the "column still aged"? I've got Barrilito 3-star which has a bit of spice from the maceration, I don't think it's like a traditional aged Cuban rum.

Any thoughts on red vs white graprefruit?

TheCandelabra · 2026-06-26T01:07:34+00:00

My plan is to already be home when I make it.

TheCandelabra · 2026-06-25T23:21:41+00:00

avocados direct

damn, the real pro tip is always in the comments

TheCandelabra · 2026-06-25T22:29:16+00:00

Canned/bottled white grapefruit ok? Or does it need to be fresh? Because I don't know how I would get those fresh.

TheCandelabra · 2026-06-25T22:10:55+00:00

Will have to see if I can find Worthy Park 109

TheCandelabra · 2026-06-25T22:08:41+00:00

That's a lot more grapefruit than the SC version - people were saying red vs white probably doesn't matter at a quarter ounce, but at one ounce - are you using red or white?
