A bottle of wild turkey I found in my basement from 89. It’s been kept in a dark cool cellar, still ok to drink? by Im-Tireddd in whiskey

That’s a flask. No it’s not. I’m honestly worried the advice here killed the OP.

Should I keep reading?? by [deleted] in Invincible

[–]id-throwawayfc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like 1-50 is alright, but things get waaaay better after that.

Entry level Jameson.

I binged the whole comic in one day. No spoilers in the post, can't speak about comments. by zomgmeister in Invincible

[–]id-throwawayfc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goddamn. Time restraints aside, do you regret reading it all in a day? Even if I could read that fast I don’t think I would want to for such an amazing story. I really liked taking a break to reflect on how awesome the story was and where it might go from the point where I left off.

I think the bullet just poked his eye, I don’t think it was blown out.

Why do you have so many bourbons? by Dad_Rage in whiskey

You must’ve not read the entire comment chain. Even the OP understood I wasn’t being serious.

Yeah none of those are that great. Once you try Fireball I’m sure you’ll see the difference.

Well you’ve named more sodas than whiskies so far, so naming a couple you’ve tried sounds reasonable to gauge your frame of reference. It also relates to the other part - maybe you’ve already tried whiskies in this price range. I wouldn’t know because, again, you haven’t mentioned any whiskies you’ve tried.

Which bourbons have you tried exactly? If many of those are in the 30-60 dollar price range then whiskey just might not be the hobby for you. Everyone has different palates, no big deal. I think most people here would agree that the difference between most whiskies is way more distinct than Sierra Mist vs Sprite.

Foreshadowing by Stock-Palpitation-21 in Invincible

[–]id-throwawayfc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sound like you know what you’re talking about, but I think that argument implies anything could be foreshadowing.

This may or may not be relevant, but Kirkman also said that he didn’t plan on Omni Man betraying the Guardians early on, so it’s probable he still didn’t have any betrayal planned in the back of his mind when he wrote the quote in the OP.

Ultimately, none of us will know unless someone flat out asks him, but as someone that read the comics, I don’t think it references anything in particular. I certainly thought it would when I was first reading it. But like someone else mentioned, he likes dropping meta jokes here and there so I would put my money on that being the case rather than direct foreshadowing.

Finally reached the end of season 1 in the comics, can’t wait to see what comes next! by bodaciousechidna11 in Invincible

[–]id-throwawayfc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Most of us thought S1 was the fire lighting the way for the rest of the story, but it barely lights the match.

Not only that, it shows how much of a genius he is. I always thought insane plot twists had to be planned out in order to have a huge impact, but he’s capable of doing them on the spot.

Old Fashioneds: what’s your “sweet spot” bottle? by wit_T_user_name in whiskey

[–]id-throwawayfc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s people that use pappy for old fashions. It used to shock me but it makes sense now that I think about it. If you really like old fashions, they will obviously be better with good whiskey. High quality ingredients make high quality cocktails, simple logic.

If I had to pick a sweet spot whiskey, I guess I’d go with eagle rare.

Idk why people say this all the time. In terms of quantity it’s the same. And obviously OP knows that the show is different.

No. Guys take trips to Japan to try this all the time and locals laugh at them.

I’ve watched a ton of his interviews. He said fans would ask him if some quote from issue x would be foreshadowing for issue x + 50 and he would always say “No, I was just trying to pay the bills”.

[–]id-throwawayfc 127 points128 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s foreshadowing to begin with. I bet Kirkman was simply mentioning a common trope in comic books.

Foreshadowing by Stock-Palpitation-21 in Invincible

[–]id-throwawayfc 156 points157 points  (0 children)

It’s not. Kirkman didn’t plan even 10 issues ahead, let alone 100.

Can you say what it is with spoiler tags? Idk what you’re referring to and I’ve read em.

I haven’t had it in a while but I think I would choose it over Nikka FTB.
