Someone always starts a drinking thread, and its already 5:05 on the West Coast without one.
So? What are you drinking?
I'm going to pop open a Stone "Enjoy By 4/1/13" IPA. Hoppy Goodness, available for only a short time.
Also, I will be so glad to not hear about voting anymore.
Go Denard. If he looses out to that dude from TAM, so be it. At least he'll still be Denard, and at least I'll be drinking really good beer. I hope the same for all of you.
Go Blue. Go enjoy your weekend.
I'm all the way back on the East Coast and I'm drinking water with half a glass of Coke Zero like a sucker. Like a big, stupid, dumb-faced, sober sucker.
EDIT: Moved on to putting some Beam in that Coke Zero of mine.
This thing is so beyond ridiculous I can't help but be drawn into. I'm cracking a bottle of makers, go Denard!!!
Wooo, un-diluted Makers! But seriously, how stupid of a marketing decision was it to, #1 reduce the quality of your product because you can't keep up the demand, and #2, make a big announcement to the public that you will reduce the quality of your high quality product.
I've got a nice buzz off makers, I didn't expect anyone on here to be drinking the MM with me.
A good friend of mine works for the Orange Bowl and she knows I love some MM, I just got a HUGE bottle in the mail last week. God bless America.
MGoShakeYourHand.
Well, they learned how stupid it was very quickly. Good thing, too. Quintessential Manhattan bourbon. It's good stuff.
Celebrating my birthday. Had a Hopslam on handpull, a Victory HopDevil, and a Duchesse de Bourgogne!
Enjoy!
Had my first Hopslam this week. Good stuff, and I'm a west coast snob.
Sounds like a great mix on your birthday! Hope it's a good one!
Old fashioned
Water, straight from the Saginaw River.
Upstream from the chemical factory.
What? Where do you think all the favor comes from?
Please E.A. You know Denard is the actual winner. Despite the attempts of A&M fans who want some nobody receiver to be on the cover (I still don't know who he is), put Denard on the cover.
Shorts Soft Parade! Yum!
Dilemma: Bell's two hearted is tasty. My wife's buffalo chicken dip is delicious. Can't quite put my finger on it, but for some reason, the two together are downright OFFENSIVE.
That's because IPAs and spicy food aren't a great mix on the palate
and Drinking Captain Morgan Black and Cherry Pepsi. Plus, just seen the Michael Phelps tweet for Vote for Denard Lets pull this one off.
Perhaps sadly, Friday night frivolity for me right now consists of the Kent State / Akron game, Captain Morgan and Coke, and casually monitoring MGoBlog. Later on, I plan to throw the cult classic "Hollywood Knights" in the DVD player to round out the evening now that the kids are asleep.
Wish I was able to get the MVC Tourney games (assume you're watching via ESPN3?). Want to see the UNI /ILL. St. game, primarily.
Oh ya, shit tons of St. Emilion red wine already down the hatch as I go to bed here in Bordeaux. Pick up the pace ladies!
A sixer of Old Chub
Fenn valley classic port. Feeling classy tonight
Cheese pizza and a nice '06 Zin from Bella Vineyards!
Bourbon barrel aged Cereal Killer.
A few months back. I was surprised how light it was. Not bad though
I have things to do tomorrow - not that I drink a lot to begin with.
My daughter texted me that a pizzeria local to her is having a Founder's Tap Takeover. I'm sure the youngsters will make up the difference.
Tallboys
Lagunitas Sucks and Surly Abrasive Ale.
Started with a nice smooth Cabernet with a mean lasagna dinner, now onto a "G3" nightcap = G2 Gatorade + your preferred choice of vodka (Kettle One tonight).
Will Ferrell voice.
Magic Hat Pistil
Arcadia Hopmouth with a NY Strip = Satisfied
Nothing fancy, just a little Honey Brown to let the day melt away.
KBS
Valencia grove amber
Milk, preferably warm. Drank only in clammy conditions.
Or without chunks?
and chillin with the kids.
Two old fashioneds, with Sazerac rye and orange bitters.
...Dos Equis (amber) with a nice carnitas burrito...diet starts tomorrow.
Cheap Vodka and Gatorade
Quite good with fondue. Think I need to scan Binny's for some of those tomorrow.
It's Saturday, 12:30pm, Korean time. I have woken up to an incredile hangover after a very long night. On the plus side, North Korea hasn't nuked us yet.
India Pale Ale was the primary quilty party, but the IPA had a lot of help, and thus the hangover.
I always worry about the Korean Penn with a crazy dictator regime to the north! Stay safe!
I fly to Seoul on Monday, my family has all asked me if I've made out a will.
Yeah, my family back home are always far more concerned than we are here. Honestly, when you live in-country for several years, crazy-North saber-wanking starts to fall on deaf ears. South Koreans aren't much concerned to be honest. True, it may come back and bite them (and, well, me and my family living here), but the North just feels so unthreatening.
If I tell you I get a half pint of Pliney the Younger this Sunday?
I don't wait in line for it...too many good beers out here. But I got a ticket for a half pint at a fund raiser.
It's not tonight's drink, but so hard tomget, and I'm really looking forward to it!
Blind Lady Ale House...it's a fund raiser, so while I got a ticket for a glass, I think they are also selling raffle tickets for the winners to get a glass too. And they're going to have PTE too...not a bad consolation prize! And Tiger-Tiger is doing the same on Saturday.
I don't wait in line, but this is the second year I've found a set up like this.
Good luck!
Oh! And I did get to drink some Pupil from Society tonight. If you haven't gone there, you should check it out!
But now a friend is coming over to do a power hour so I'm sadly switching to coors light
PBR, and it's going down smooth too. I love college football, and forgive me for asking, but who is this Swoope guy?
Anybody got any movie recommendations? I'm thinking recent-ish (last 15 years) movies that flew under the radar.
For example, I watched "Win win" starring Paul Giamatti a few days ago and was very pleasantly surprised.
Any suggestions?
Labatt, by the way. Always labatt.
EDIT: Also, see "We Need to Talk About Kevin" Superb acting, chilling, stirring movie.
But... I loved the Full Monte. If you like English humor. When I saw it, I never heard of it, and I thin that made it better (not knowing the premise ahead of time).
... also Inglorious Bastards is on tonight.
Bernie from last year with Jack Black was fantastic. A strangely upbeat dark comedy based on a true murder in a small Texas town. The film is an unusual mix of actors, interviews with the real towns people, and towns people playing themselves in the movie.
Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol is super fun.
Bronson and Valhalla Rising are both pre-Drive Nicholas Winding Refn movies that are relatively recent. Bronson is a very strange character piece about a notorious British prisoner, played here by Tom Hardy. Structurely a very weird movie, but I reallly liked it. Valhalla Rising is a really ponderous movie about Vikings and Christian missionaries going insane in the wilderness. Really awesome, but it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
"Bernie" is great.
"Robot and Frank". I saw it at a film festival last summer. Solid cast and some good funny moments.
Michael Douglas and Annette Benning. The wife//gf wil like it as well!
Just got back from a night at Stone's restaurant.
Ciroc up in this bitch. And as a fan of vodka, I have to say I don't really dig it.
Driving home from Florida, so red bull and coffee for me
for me tonight.
Double Crooked Tree. Yum.
Bourbon tonight. Woodford Reserve. Ice.
Drinking untill the game on Sunday...Coors Original. Elway's beer.
So did Denard win?
Well, no drinks for me as I'm at work. But there's definitely some humor and idiocy to be had in the shares of the vote, from a die-hard Ag lobbyist Rob Thomas Barnett with some suckeyes and little-bro's thrown in the mix.
A lot of voting for the SEC, not for Swope and North vs South.

Now some McDonald's Sweet Tea. Hell yeah.
Sierra Nevada's Ruthless Rye. It comes with my full endorsement. Great night with friends.
Good morning, moderate hangover!
"Come morning.."
What are you, just leaving the strip club for some aftys or what?! Good Lord!
