hat may be in the works for the lad, as i'm teaching how to tan without all the chemicals. we'll see how it turns out.
rather - i know people eat coon, but i'd have to be very drunk and/or very hungry before i'd cook one...
I'm sitting in my hotel room in Vermont waiting for my cousin to come pick me up. So I don't know what I'll be drinking and I don't know where, but I'll be enjoying it regardless.
Since Vermont and all, it might just end up being a Magic Hat. I'll be disappointed if that shit's not on tap everywhere.
I spent a long weekend at a B'n'B in Vermont a couple summers back. It was amazing. That trip left me with a lasting love of Vermont that I feel for very few places. It's beautiful country, in which the only thing that doesn't come in maple flavor is cheese.
New Hampshire, on the other hand, can go fuck itself.
With a little work the cheese thing could probably happen too.
And I'm out. Cousin knocking at the door. Updates on Vermont perhaps in tomorrow's drinkin' thread.
P.S. On my drive in here from Burlington you can really see why they call these the Green Mountains. Lovely.
At dinner one night, we had maple-infused butter (not maple butter, that's different). It was the most amazing thing I've ever had.
The lesson here: anything can be made to taste like maple, and it will always be an improvement.
especially with orange juice.
Crown + OJ + maple, you say? Welp, I guess tomorrow's breakfast has been planned.
Especially stupid because it was for making Old Fashioned's, where you really can just use a small sugar cube and a few drops of water. That was just after my 21st though; I bought a whole bunch of weird shit I wouldn't have gotten otherwise.
They bottle water.
I'm hoping Alchemist Heady Topper or perhaps some Hill Farmstead
not a french wine fan, but undeniably some of them are quite good. big lamb fan - excellent dinner for you.
Just finished a Beam and Coke Zero, watching Futurama. Probably about to watch John Dies At The End and drink another Beam and Coke Zero.
And I'd go with Annie's mac'n'cheese, personally.
Update: I went with Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior, instead.
Update 2: I've been watching this movie for almost a full 20 minutes, and no one has gotten kicked yet! Face, chest, even ass, doesn't matter. Someone better get kicked soon.
Update 3: Nevermind, the very next scene was the main character following someone to some kind of underground fighting club. I think someone's about to get kicked real good!
Update 4: Ting totally just knocked Ali out with a single kick. This movie kind of just makes me want to watch Bloodsport.
Update 5: Bloodsport isn't available on Netlix Instant; thankfully Netflix automatically recommends a selection of other "Van Damme in secret international fighting tournament" movies that are available.
Update 6: Ting just did a crazy flying knee-kick to some guy's face, propelling them both through a second story window! This movie is all knees and elbows to heads.
"...is all knees and elbows to heads."
Kinda like the Bulls' strategy against the Heat.
I haven't seen any of the NBA playoffs, but I have gathered that the Bulls seem to be utilizing a very Probertian style of play.
For the past week, I've had to work in midtown Manhattan, and have had to use the Penn Station subway station to get home (it's located below Madison Square Garden). Between the Knicks and the Rangers, I have had to fight through some unpleasant crowds to get home, and consequently have developed a healthy hatred for most New York sports fans.
Update 7: Ting just got beat up by some guy at some Muay Thai tournament. All I could think about was how cool that scene in Kickboxer is, when the guy dips his hands in hot glue and broken glass. I had no idea that I liked Van Damme this much.
Drinking update: I have switched from Beam and Coke Zero to Narragansett beer.
Update 8: After kicking someone in the face with (literally) flaming legs, Ting did another flying knee-kick right into some dudes head, knocking him off his motorcycle. Side note, Thailand looks really sweaty.
Update 9: Two guys riding one motorcycle looks really silly.
Update 10: Ting, in stoic manly fashion, just used his forearms to stop a man from cutting off his head with one of those big old-timey, two-person saws they used to use to cut down trees. Again, it just reminded me of that Van Damme scene when he kicks the tree down with his shins. I think that was in Kickboxer. (As I was typing this, Ting appeared to severe a man's leg using his groin.)
Update 11: Ting's doughy screw-up of a partner just triumphantly knocked an old man out of a wheelchair with a 2x4. Followed by Ting double knee dropping a guy through the floor.
Update 12: Last comment about Ong Bak. Apparently, Steven Seagal was so impressed by the movie, that he wanted his company to distribute it stateside. Of course, he wanted to film extra scenes featuring himself as the man who teaches Ting martial arts to include in the American release. For better or worse, that plan did not appear to pan out.
Watching the Tigers game. Drinking some Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA and some Bell's Oberon.
Kraft Mac and Cheese for me. Especially if it's in the little microwavable cups.
Had a crown and diet pepsi while watching guilt trip. Now watching the tigers game.
Cigar City Maduro Brown for me.
Kraft big time
Drinking some Sweet Water Lowryeder IPA. It's not too bad and I go for the Velveeta shells and cheese for sure.
year olds too, in case things get really tough...
just kidding. really. i'm not even a bourban guy.
Go to the state park. Awesome beach, although the water will still be too cold to swim in.
Well, after that deflating ending-inning double play, I decided to make a mint julep with the leftover fresh mint from last weekend. Turn it up!
Watching some NBA and NHL playoffs (so close NYI!) while drinking some ice cold water. And for my first time watching the NBA in a loooooong time, I can say that Trey Burke will fit in just fine in this league. Yeah he'll need to work on his defensive effort (especially if he is in the playoffs), but everything else about his game should translate into the NBA just fine.
Go Blue
Annie's Mac & cheese for me- it's the kids' favorite.
Until the Red Wings or last Canadian team gets knocked out of the playoffs, this is my nightly drink.
It's the best "cheap" beer at the class six. Just revamped my budget and realized killing bottle upon bottle of Rouge wasn't in it.
I had some of that the other day. I was pretty impressed for "cheap" beer.
Cuervo reserve neat. Its no Herradura, but its doing just fine for me tonight.
