Mea Culpa Mea Missa Christmas Days!
Sorry, I must apologize. I tried to do the 12 days of Christmas Gifts but I got caught up in trying to catch up on the season and did not get all the posts made. I have some of them done, but they are not topical so now I am ahead of the game for [...]
Fourth Day of Christmas – SHOES!
One thing every man needs, but almost never asks for is shoes. Or, in this case flip flops. An essential part of the wardrobe, but most men will be walking through a liquor store and see a pair for $2.99 and grab them. Sadly, this is not the way to shop for shoes. For, as [...]
Corner Creek Reserve Bourbon – The Review
The gifts of Thanksgiving linger on. And by that I mean the bourbons that we bought on the way to the relative’s house. Amazingly enough, they have not been killed as of yet. So, today we take glass in hand and look into the darkest, or most amber, depths of one of our aquisitions – [...]
On the first day of Christmas….A gift suggestion
My true love gave to me …… a bee-eee-eee-eeee-eeeer! Or maybe a pouring spoon to make black and tans. Now, I do not receive anything for this post, have never gotten a free spoon, but I think this a great item, very cool, and from a small operation trying to make it. So, buy one, [...]
Tormore Single Malt Scotch – The Review
Thanksgiving brings us many things to be thankful for, family, friends, the good food we have, and our lives in general, which are fairly good. Most of all, though, we give thanks that on the way to the in-laws we have to drive by a very good liquor store. This time my better half, The [...]
Give Thanks for Bourbon -Bourbon Pairings For Thanksgiving
In the difficult and busy run-up to Thanksgiving, many people forget one of the most important considerations – What bourbons to serve? Oh, everyone discusses what type of green beans to have, should you brine the turkey or not, what pies are we having? But who, who I say, asks the most important question – [...]
Happy Guy Fawkes Day! The Occupy Wall Street Cocktail to celebrate!
As noted in last year’s post, I love Guy Fawkes Day. Celebrating the day a man tried to blow up his government. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, I say. Which brings us to the Occupy Wall Street protests. Something everyone can get behind (or at least 99% of everyone, lol). [...]
TRAGEDY! (when the feeling’s gone and you can’t go on…..)
Some things are too sad and tragic for words. For some are lost young, before their destiny can be fulfilled.
Unlucky In Drinking, unlucky in Love?
Just put the love thing in there because I like the way it sounds. On May 21, Jesse Robinson either established or tied the unofficial world record for unluckiest underage drinker of all time when he was booked into the Hamilton County, Ohio, jail for underage consumption. According to booking records, Robinson’s date of birth [...]
People Who Throw Cigarette Butts-Why I Drink
Driving behind a car. Nice car, not super nice, but nice. He comes to a full stop at the stop sign. Long full stop, no one coming. WUCK? I think. Oh well, some people just follow the rules even in California. Then, not 200 yards down the road, he flicks out a lit cigarette butt [...]

"The harsh, useful things of the world, from pulling teeth to digging potatoes, are best done by men who are as starkly sober as so many convicts in the death-house, but the lovely and useless things, the charming and exhilarating things, are best done by men with, as the phrase is, a few sheets in the wind." ~H.L. Mencken
The Dangers of Thirst
"Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing." ~Jerome K. Jerome

The Jug of Empire!
"How solemn and beautiful is the thought that the earliest pioneer of civilization, the van-leader of civilization, is never the steamboat, never the railroad, never the newspaper, never the Sabbath-school, never the missionary -- but always whiskey!" ~Mark Twain
