Rum And Coke
Rum And Coke
I must admit, I am making good use of the bottle of Captain Morgan that was given to me recently as a rather strange but fitting condolence for a recent death of a sibling (who was a rum and Coke fan herself). I am making good use of it in her memory as I watch bad Big East football.

My Condolences
I am watching The Watchmen blu-ray and now feeling very sad since I met you personally. I am now somehow attached to your loss and feel for you, man. Ugh. Let me know if there's anything I can do.
Sorry for covering your face with the HTTV in the one photo.

As For That Photo...
Actually, you vastly improved that photo, considering Dilithium is on the cover of HTTV and he is far better looking than a 34 year-old middle-management guy in a large corporation.
Thanks though. The service was only Wednesday...this week is the first time all this has been "real", if that makes sense.

You made enough of an impression on me that I remember you specifically. I'm really sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing a sibling. I have only one, and she's such an important part of my life. Consider this an e-Brohug.
The next Rum & Coke goes out to your sib's memory. If I can do more, let me know. I will. Already sending up some prayers for you.

It was me with the Pumking.
It was me with the Pumking.
It was me with the Pumking. Widely regarded as the best pumpkin ale. It's by Southern Tier Brewery (Western NY), so who knows if it is out in Illinois -- but it's only sold in 750mL bottles, so you'll have to head to one of your fancy stores that sells 22oz of beer that cost $10+. But, like I said, beer snobs love it and is has a cult following, so I bet that most areas of the country have access to it (at least in the larger cities).
Edit: And for those who wonder what it tastes like, it tastes EXACTLY like pumpkin pie. No lie.

I like it. I wasn't expecting it to be like their belgian white, so no cognitive dissonance when I tasted it. It's a nice pumpkin flavor that isn't like drinking a pie. I bought their seasonal sampler box that also includes their version of a pale ale and a spiced apple beer. Pale ale was good. Spiced apple was OK.
I saw Pumpking in my local Binny's, so I hope some is left when I stop by tomorrow.
