wacky1980

i was pretty annoyed by the whole thing. unnecessary depth was added. he's the grinch. you don't want to empahtize with his asshole side. also, obligatory love interest? come on. the kids liked it enough i guess, but i'll take my 1966 version, kthx.

25 years @ a pack a day (just a guess, sometimes it was more and sometimes far less). 20*365*25= 182,500 but that's ok. the number i've smoked since june 3 2018= 0

verdict is in. 2018 bcbs is not the best vintage i've had, but it's pretty damn good. bottle poured a little bit flat with minimal head, but it didn't affect the flavor. first taste was chocolate and musty wood, moving to sweet malt and finally a boozy bite on the back end. maybe 2nd best i've had in the past 5 years, behind 2015. one of these days i'll be having friends over for a vertical tasting of 13-18, and we'll find out which is the best at that point. and now i'm drinking another chicago beer. two bros atom smasher oktoberfest was a great beer and we sold a boatload of it at the bar, but we ended up with about 8 bottles that i haven't been able to unload. so they came home with me tonight and i'll be disposing of them in the best way imaginable. added benefit, i opened up a lane in the beer cooler for southern tier 2xmas ale. this job sucks so much ass

just received delivery of the goose 2018 BCBS this morning. we're taking part in their black friday release, so we aren't selling it just yet. but the keg is in the cooler, and there's a case of bottles waiting in there too. i most definitely didn't crack the case open three days early to take a bottle home and "sample" it tonight... tale of the tape: 2018 bourbon county brand stout imperial stout aged in heaven hill bourbon barrels 14.7% ABV 60 IBU 441 calories per 16.9oz bottle

it puts the pussy on a pedestal.

rlytho, if you've become privy to a bunch of secret gov't documentation, do the right thing and post pictures of it on our boards.

golly, i sure hope not. the band was a one-off thing between a group of old friends, and they did mostly 90s alternative covers. the last few songs were stp / rhcp / velvet revolver / kid rock / nirvana. but look at that crowd, lots of ladies in there, and most of the dudes were only dancing because the ladies were in there. shit got a little dicey when they were in the guts of "teen spirit" but i didn't see anyone getting tossed around. then again, i was mostly looking down at the console so...

so that actually went pretty well. i didn't get any video because i was too busy with the light show, but a few people posted pics on the social media. the first one is the console setup, and the rest were taken live during songs. for the record, i never lost the gift, even though it was my first time on that console, using those light fixtures, and mixing to those songs. i have never received more positive feedback for running a light show, possibly ever before. i know wifey got some snaps while she was out in the crowd. if i can figure out how to get them onto a post, i'll do that too. it doesn't seem like anyone had their phones out for the last couple songs, which are usually the most visually entertaining for me (lots of dramatic movement, palette changes, and of course...the strobes come out). if anyone has video of those, i'll be delighted.

i have one of each.

so tonight is the big show. i have the set list, and i've been given the name of the console and the light fixtures i'll be using. never used the console (lightshark core with two ipads for control) so that should be interesting. i'm heading down early to get in an hour or two of practice so i don't blackout the stage halfway through the opening song. that would be a little embarrassing. if i don't do an absolute shit job, i'll try to capture some video and bore you folks with it tomorrow.

...again?

deer hunting, probably. anyone want an autograph? yeah, me neither.

we had a bunch of young male teachers. one of them (also my varsity basketball coach) started an affair with a girl in my sister's grade, and they ended up getting married. everyone was like "eh, it's ok because they were in love." sure, whatev.

all my female teachers were too old / fat / nasty for anyone to want to do that with. except my kindergarten teacher. she was hot.

who's buying? also, it doesn't matter as long as they're paying for top shelf and you're not.

people suck. if you can't do family thanksgiving because of people sucking, maybe it's time to do your own thanksgiving without the family.

hell, i'd bet most of he people on the boards hadn't even hit puberty when freddie kicked the bucket.

really? works fine for me.

hey, at least the bears won.

king sue from toppling goliath. oh my word.

work's been odd. the bank has been a gravely bitch all week, but the bar has been awesome. we picked up some new beers, including one i've been working on for over a year (king sue, got damn it's so good). gotta sit through a performance review tomorrow at the bank, then after work i'm picking up the oldest from his mom's and taking everyone for mexican to celebrate. why the celebration? either gonna get a raise / promotion from the review, or i'm gonna be purely self-employed. either way, good way to kick off the weekend. then the weekend is gonna be all cleaning up from halloween, catching up on laundry, and avoding anything resembling work.
