  1. Ha! I got up to mid-season 3 and then passed along the discs. I just got them back and hope to power through to the end before giving them back to Ric.
  2. Tarbaby -- The End of Fear
  3. Rez Abbasi Acoustic Quartet -- Natural Selection
  4. No no no. It's not little unit:
  5. Is Brent the Mexican Crocodile Dundee?
  6. This thread should be made a Sticky. Just sayin' Ludovico Einaudi - Nightbook
  7. 4 points? Sheesh. That's a bummer, Mike, but no suspension is good.
  8. Nope, because I splashed in a half ounce or so after taking a couple sips. The Blinker in the Stork Club Bar Book has 1.5 rye, .75 grapefruit, with a dash of grenadine. That sounds better to me. This isn't a hobby, it's a quest! I wish I could take credit for the settings, but to my daughter's horror I was using the auto setting on the 5D. I was going for this effect and took 3-4 shots and chose this one for the right angle and DOF/bokeh.
  9. Blinker Cocktail using Mr. Boston's recipe 2 oz Wild Turkey Rye 1.5 oz grapefruit juice 1 tsp raspberry syrup Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish. Nice after-taste but not as strong a bite as I expected. Using my great paper list, I still see 14 left to go, so my last update must have been wrong. I suck at maths.
  10. The VT25 just sounds like a better set all around. I am not that interested in 3D but the reviews and specs are pretty hawt.
  11. Very nice looking drink, Jim. You must be under 10 to go. Congrat!
  12. I want also. Sprinkled some cayenne pepper over some regular pistachios to simulate the effect a little.
  13. Thanks Nate.
  14. Dusty and Carl are both right. I was actually just joking, but I would not put it past the Head Monster to want to squash Sleek. I also think it is funny that little old Sleek Audio with the goofy tunable and wireless earphones now has full-sized cans endorsed by 50 Cent. Makes me laugh thinking back to the amateur operation that had by the time of the Florida CanJam.
  15. I don't think it sucks, but there wasn't anything to make me want to make it again for myself. I think it is good to have refreshing and lighter/lower alcohol options for people who drink less and this would be one I would make for such sissies. Right now, I am joining Jim in an El Diablo using the same recipe. The new bottle of Fortaleza Reposado is super tasty, so that helps too. This was recommended by the owner of Cask and she knows her shit.
  16. What is the basis for saying it is dyed? The only indications I have seen would indicate otherwise. I haven't tried it in a louche and I am actually not so fond of it that I am trying to defend its name, but I am curious to know if that is true. Now is the time when we Anvil: Sherry Cobbler taken from Imbibe! by Wondrich 4 oz sherry 1 tablespoon superfine sugar (2 tsp because the sherry was not too dry) 2 orange slices Shake with cracked ice and pour unstrained into glass. Artfully arrange the muddled orange slices and throw in some berries and a straw. Easy as pie. OK if you like the taste of sherry, which I mostly do not. 15 to go on the list. Working on another right now...
  17. Emile Pernot Vieux Pontarlier 65 Absinthe Double Gold, SF World Spirits Competition Since 2001, and 5 STARS from F. Paul Pacult, the Emile Pernot Distillery has created and distilled several absinthes that are considered among the best artisanal absinthes in the world. Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe Fran
  18. Round headphones molded right into the headband endorsed by a rapper? Sleek by 50 Cent is going to be next in Monster's legal war.
  19. You're bothered by a lot of things.
  20. The nose tubes make him look like Fu Manchu, but that is pretty funny.
  21. I saw Scott's post from today and didn't look at when Mike posted his.
  22. Cannot find it in the App Store on my iPhone. Maybe it already got nuked.
  23. I know I am just banging my head against the wall here, but just because you "couldn't hear a difference" between your higher and lower priced DACs in a blind test a couple of years ago doesn't mean that there are no differences between modern DACs other than subjective perception and placebo. And bit perfect output doesn't translate to equality. OK, I just had to get that out. Carry on.
  24. Even better
