The Dude said...: Way OT for this thread, but related to a previous one, I just watched the opening monologue from Full Metal Jacket with French subtitles.

Je riais si fort que je pleure.

All of a sudden I want some Tiffany cufflinks.; December 22, 2013 at 8:55 PM

That kid in the photo was a UW student. Did Althouse let her kids go to UW-Madison? Was it "good enough" being a such an "outpost"?

BTW, Chris Noth, SJP's pretend lover in SATC was a Madison boy.; December 23, 2013 at 12:33 AM

Sure enough, I am drinking liquid every time I read a line like that and my screen gets spattered.; December 23, 2013 at 2:13 AM
Michael Haz said...: That is a perfect example of how feminists want their sons to turn out (assuming they are allowed to live through gestation).

Have you seen the Obamacare commercial with the shirtless guys?; December 23, 2013 at 8:58 AM
Michael Haz said...: Your tax dollars at work.; December 23, 2013 at 9:01 AM
ricpic said...: I don't quite get the thinking behind pitching O'Care at metrosexuals and homosexuals. To make it work O'Care is going to have to snooker a huge number of young healthy males (and females) to subsidize the old and infirm by purchasing bad deal policies from the healthies' standpoint. Metros and homos are only a tiny slice of that demo. Or am I missing something? (This is where you all come in and tell me what I'm missing).; December 23, 2013 at 9:56 AM

Yeesh, did you notice that one of the guys has a red ping pong ball on his nose as he looks at the ass of another guy? That's just wrong!; December 23, 2013 at 10:19 AM

First you will denounce that, showing you are a H8er and next you will be denouncing those who love their canines (or borrowed ones at least) in that special way...; December 23, 2013 at 11:30 AM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: I can't imagine who this guy appeals to or WHO thought this was a good advertising campaign. If my daughter had brought something like this home for Christmas when she was in college, I would have had to slap her into next year.

Don't blame the plaid though. THIS is how you do plaid.; December 23, 2013 at 11:43 AM
The Dude said...: Try as I might I canna locate an authentic MacGrit tartan.; December 23, 2013 at 11:54 AM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: Try as I might I canna locate an authentic MacGrit tartan.

LOL.....show us a photo of the plaid and I'll have a weaving pattern (warping, treadling and weft instructions) written up for you. I bet there is some hippy dippy chick in your area who could make some yardage for you. You are on your own for sewing the kilt.

A nice sporran, strategically placed, is also a must.; December 23, 2013 at 12:09 PM
windbag said...: Scottish Tartans Museum, complete with search of the Scottish Register of tartans.; December 23, 2013 at 12:27 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Sixty, you might like this. Hope it works. Sorry it's not clickable. I forgot how and am too lazy to look it up right now.

Cody Jarrett said...: Why is the Tartan Museum in North Carolina?

NTTAWWT; December 23, 2013 at 1:10 PM
The Dude said...: Laddie - we moved from one highlands to anither. Come and pick up some giant rocks and toss a caber. These are mah people!; December 23, 2013 at 1:21 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Easy there, Sixty. They moved just as much to where I am. There's even a beach in NH named Wallis Sands. After the Wallises who are often re-named Wallaces. Because they landed there and trudged ashore.

And I've picked up giant rocks and tossed the caber. It's nowhere near as easy as it looks. But it's not as hard as you might think it is either.

I mean just the tossing of it. Making it land prettily, that's fucking impossible.

And never try to save a caber by muscling it. You're not going to out muscle a tree trunk. I tried once. The guy who was teaching me, a world champ at the Heavy Athletics and a doctor--almost had a fit. And almost kicked me off the grounds. Because he told me not to do it before we started.

It's instinct for me though. Something's getting away, muscle it back. Logs, trucks, horses, women...

Sigh.; December 23, 2013 at 1:36 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: But I do appreciate that you spelled it "anither". That's brilliant stuff right there.; December 23, 2013 at 1:36 PM
Michael Haz said...: And I've picked up giant rocks and tossed the caber

Haven't we all?; December 23, 2013 at 1:37 PM
The Dude said...: Then it's agreed lads - now we kin toss back some single malt and celebrate the season.; December 23, 2013 at 1:43 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: I'd be willing to sip on a blend if Claire Forlani was pouring.

I believe I've made myself clear on this subject, at least at the Cow's joint.

I drank a bottle of Dewars once, over the course of 3-4 hours. One of the stupidest things I've ever done. Not nearly as bad as the whole bottle of Southern Comfort I drank once, but close, in it's own totally different way.

The first time I woke up there was a scary looking girl beside me. She was naked; I was not. The second time I woke up I was in my truck parked out front of my best friend's house.

Dewars. Evil in a bottle.; December 23, 2013 at 1:48 PM
The Dude said...: I like that firewood pile - very nice and there is a certain poetic quality to it.

And DBQ - that is too cool - sadly, being colorblind most tartans are not much more than 50 shades of gray to me.

I do like Scottish wool, however - used to have tons of it around the house - good Harris tweed and such. Very high quality stuff.; December 23, 2013 at 1:51 PM
Michael Haz said...: Thanks, Mr. MacGrit. I'll have a dram.

A dram is what, sixteen ounces?; December 23, 2013 at 2:01 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Careful, Mr. Haz. That's a lot of Scotch!

Hey how the hell did the Packers manage to lose a game at home, in the snow, to that Stiller team? I mean, beyond not having their quarterback.; December 23, 2013 at 2:07 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Sixty, check out the "wranglerstar" channel on youtube. He's got a public facebook page too.

He's a guy who quit his stuff and moved out to homestead with his wife and kid. He does some interesting things.

He goes a little too heavy on the Jesus talk for my taste (I don't mind anyone's beliefs, don't get me wrong, I just don't want to get poked with them, but it's his channel and he can do what he wants), but a lot of his stuff is just really cool.; December 23, 2013 at 2:09 PM
Evi L. Bloggerlady said...: "The first time I woke up there was a scary looking girl beside me. She was naked; I was not. The second time I woke up I was in my truck parked out front of my best friend's house."

At least she wasn't your best friend's girlfriend or wife (at least I hope not).

Or even worse...Inge.; December 23, 2013 at 2:13 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: The next time I ran into her I chickened out of asking her why I was clothed and she was naked.

I know she made a huge deal about being a virgin...so apparently I was being respectful.

Or something.

God. Inga.

Although my best friends wife wouldn't have been too bad. He tried to set that up one night after a few too many glasses of Early Times. She and I were a lot more sober than he was though.

Wisconsin people. Give 'em some whiskey and stand back!; December 23, 2013 at 2:16 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: No offense, Mr. Haz.; December 23, 2013 at 2:17 PM
The Dude said...: Glenmorangie - one shot a week, tops, an' ye canna gang aglie! Nae be gittin' sideways!; December 23, 2013 at 2:22 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: I've had it, don't remember it.

I haven't had a drink in several years now.; December 23, 2013 at 2:36 PM
The Dude said...: I had a wee dram the other day.

But, bein' Scottish and cautious with my resources, I only drank that knowing that I would be getting a new bottle for Christmas. Must make it last all year. So either I need a huge bottle or a slow burn rate. I have opted for the latter.; December 23, 2013 at 2:41 PM
Evi L. Bloggerlady said...: Glenmorangie, is quite nice. I prefer MacCallan for a highland.

Laphroaig is good when you want to drink campfire smoke. I prefer Lagavulin because I like that Islay saltiness sometimes.; December 23, 2013 at 3:15 PM
Evi L. Bloggerlady said...: Ramirez did this cartoon...; December 23, 2013 at 3:38 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Good friend of mine adores the Laphroig (I'm sure I spelled it wrong). I never have tasted it. I'd like to, but I can't find small bottles of it and it seems a shame to buy a whole bottle when even if I like it I won't drink it.; December 23, 2013 at 3:46 PM
The Dude said...: The Macallan - nice!; December 23, 2013 at 3:49 PM
Palladian said...: Back when I had some money, I used to adore scotch. My favorite scotches are Laphroaig and Ardbeg, but I also like Highland Park, Macallan and Glenlivet. Actually I like pretty much any decent scotch, and I'm not a snob about blended whiskeys either. I love Johnnie Walker Swing.

One of the best scotch experiences I've ever had was two bottles of 30 y.o. Laphroaig I bought in 2007 for a good price. It's amazing what happens to that whiskey after that aging time. All of the huge peat & iodine character becomes like an old memory; still there, but recalled foggily and in an idealized way. The angularity is gone but there's structure. The liquid feels almost viscous, like oil, and it's absolutely smooth and the flavor lingers for a long time.

God I miss scotch.; December 23, 2013 at 5:23 PM
Palladian said...: Pastafarian once sent me some amazing scotch after we had discussed it on that nasty old weblog we used to visit.; December 23, 2013 at 5:24 PM
blake said...: 550K on that site in the last cycle. This could be serious.; December 23, 2013 at 5:49 PM
Michael Haz said...: Wisconsin people. Give 'em some whiskey and stand back!

Wisconsinites are mostly "Here, hold my beer and watch this" types.

Although more brandy is sold here than in any other state, ditto Jameson.; December 23, 2013 at 5:53 PM
Michael Haz said...: 550K on that site in the last cycle. This could be serious.

What is the trend?; December 23, 2013 at 5:54 PM
Evi L. Bloggerlady said...: Palladian, interesting on the Laphroaig getting so mellow with ageing (it is a wild child in its youth). It holds up well if you are having a cigar.

Given 30 year old scotches often go for $1,000+ now a days, I have not tried them.

I love the brine in Islay scotch, though.; December 23, 2013 at 5:56 PM
The Dude said...: The comedian Ron White drinks a bottle of 25 year old Macallan while he performs. He was in town a while back and I stopped by the ABC to see what it cost the theater to keep Ron sloshed - it was only about $175. I say only, but it was more a case of - where's the cheap stuff when I really got down to shopping.; December 23, 2013 at 6:07 PM
Evi L. Bloggerlady said...: Sixty, it jumps up exponentially as it gets older: Ouch; December 23, 2013 at 6:41 PM
Evi L. Bloggerlady said...: Sixty: How long ago was a "while back"?; December 23, 2013 at 6:43 PM
Evi L. Bloggerlady said...: Price range 30 year old Maccallan; December 23, 2013 at 6:45 PM
The Dude said...: Holy schnike! I must have been drunk and lost an order of magnitude.

Yeah, I like Macallan, but I like my money better!; December 23, 2013 at 6:54 PM

God you're beautiful.

Not, you know, in a gay way. Well, maybe it is.

I don't know. I'm confused now.

But that's one of the best descriptions of scotch I've ever read. And you did it without "notes of citrus and leather"; December 23, 2013 at 7:10 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: And peppermint schnapps and jagermeister.

In Maine it's coffee brandy. I have no idea why.; December 23, 2013 at 7:18 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Last time I saw Ron White he was working on a new act. Halfway through he gave up and started rambling, a quarter in the bag or so. Cracking himself up. Funniest night of my life.; December 23, 2013 at 7:19 PM
The Dude said...: I agree with Cody, Palladian - that is a beautiful description of the taste of whiskey.

I am amazed that Ron White even tried to incorporate any new jokes in his show - you watch videos from 25 years ago - exact same schtick. Maybe he had a different wife when he wrote the joke, but in love and war, any joke is fair, or something.; December 23, 2013 at 7:34 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: As the crowd was warming him up (and the scotch)...he started telling us stories. He told one about him and Foxworthy that he swore he'd never told before--he said he couldn't figure out why it just popped in his head.

They were at a small airport someplace, one of those truckstop airport type of things. Some local kids came over and they were talking (teens) Foxworthy asked the kids what they did for fun and they said fishing and hunting and chasing girls. The punchline was something about Foxworthy telling them at least they were fucking the girls and not the fish.

He also went into a long long story about the time he was on Dr. Phil's rented yacht in Monaco. And he got drunk. And did an old routine involving Rose Kennedy. It ended with Dr. Phil saying "Ron, I think we've all heard quite enough from you today". And kicking him off the boat.

And yes, he does have a new wife. She's the sister of one of his best friends and the guy that opens for him. Mexican guy, also really funny.; December 23, 2013 at 8:01 PM
chickelit said...: I appreciate all the scotch talk here because I sell spirits, beer and wines now. I would appreciate recommendations for wines; Chards, Cabs, Pinots, merlots.

Thanks!

When people come in asking about ales, I talk them into lagers.; December 23, 2013 at 8:29 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: why do you talk people out of ales, Chicken?; December 23, 2013 at 8:33 PM
The Dude said...: What is up, my Chicken? Got yourself a job in a schnaps shop? You need to move back here and help me set up a production facility. Get in on the ground floor.; December 23, 2013 at 8:38 PM
chickelit said...: why do you talk people out of ales, Chicken?

Personal taste, refined by living abroad.; December 23, 2013 at 10:34 PM
chickelit said...: Craft ales are a fad now because almost anybody can do it in a clean warehouse. Lagering beer requires different conditions. Before Prohibition, Americans preferred lagers over ales and every town had a craft lager. Prohibition just killed that and afterwards, WW II and mass marketing led to bland lagers. Once the craft brewers rediscover lagers, it's over for the IPA pajama boys. You heard it here first.; December 23, 2013 at 10:41 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Yipes.

I can't drink beer anymore (although I might be able to now, haven't tried lately...) and pale ale is wonderful. Craft brewed, or imported from England.

Lagers I've never really liked. Maybe I just never tried the right one.; December 23, 2013 at 10:46 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: But pajama boys?

Geez.; December 23, 2013 at 10:46 PM
chickelit said...: It was a bit harsh.

Hee; December 23, 2013 at 10:52 PM
Michael Haz said...: Pollo, no more chem?; December 24, 2013 at 12:03 AM
Cody Jarrett said...: I luv ya, Chicken.; December 24, 2013 at 12:24 AM
chickelit said...: Michael Haz said...
Pollo, no more chem?

Chemistry in America has been off-shored.

It's too dirty.

It's still OK to think about it, but to act on those fantasies is sinful in modern America.; December 24, 2013 at 1:26 AM
Cody Jarrett said...: Well that's for the actual work, isn't it Chick? I mean, this is America! Our chemists can lay around all day dreaming of new formulas to change the world that they then have to go somewhere else to implement.

There's always work! America, fuck yeah!; December 24, 2013 at 8:31 AM
Ruth Anne Adams said...: The reason I watch "Parks and Recreation" is because of the character Ron Swanson. I think they initially meant to goof on libertarian types, but the actor Nick Offerman is so good that he developed a great character.

Ron Swanson loves Scotch so much that Leslie sent him to Scotland. As I known as MacGregor the pier-builder?; December 24, 2013 at 10:39 AM
