Just checked, and yep, the sale is still on…

Gotta go with @Scrawler2:disqus here. Krispy Kreme 4 life!

See, now this is a good idea. Have a cocktail menu. We're doing the signature drinks, besides her French 75s, mine is straight bourbon/whiskey. I had planned on having Balcones whiskey and Four Roses single barrel for my drink table.

Damn it, rum. I knew I forgot something and one of my groomsman has been known to be a rum drinker.

I am saving the good stuff for the close friends and family, and only buying middle of the road Scotch.  Luckily, some of the friends and family brands are cheap. My dad and her dad exclusively drink Miller Lite and Bud Light, her uncles drink Seagram's VS for some godawful reason.  Our friends are going to do the…

I've got liquor (whiskey, gin, vodka, scotch, tequila, and Goldschlager - don't ask), beer, and white wine - champagne (no red allowed at the venue).  I planned on separating the mixing whiskey (Jim Beam/Buffalo Trace) from the sipping (Balcones, Four Roses). I cannot really skimp on the gin because my fiancee's…

1. Only you can say if you're ready, but moving on moves quicker if you are meeting new people.
2./3. Definitely, the friend. I don't know about your mother, but that is the last thing I'd want is my mother getting an inroad into my dating life. I can only imagine the post date questioning.

Those damn knock offs were just as heavy as the real deal. We started to register for La Creusets, but fuck it, Martha's looked good enough for me.

I know, I know. It was kind of hastily thrown together and a bit of a shitshow trying to grill with that wind and cold on Saturday.  I'll set something up, soon.

Speaking of booze, I have been working on a spreadsheet of booze to buy for my wedding reception. Did any of you married folk stock you own bar for your reception? On a preliminary run down, I have it costing ~$1100 which is like a third of the cost of the food. This is for a reception of ~85 where 40 -50 will…

Macy's had the Martha Stewart knock off La Creuset pots on sale last weekend for %60 off. They are supposed to be just as good, and I paid $48 for a 3 quart pot instead of $180. I'll take it.

If the winner did that, the reps from Price Waterhouse would run on to the stage and beat them with motorcycle chains.

I once sat outside of the Time Cafe in NYC for hours trying to get a ticket to no avail for a Frank Black solo show, so it was very edifying seeing this show.

Riggs? Pfffft, I call him threes because we're so tight.

Hey @avclub-0f0d67e214f9fef69b278e3d08114da9:disqus , a few weeks back I bitched about Tim Riggins being boring and one-note after watching like 4 episodes of Friday Night Lights and you said to hang with the character and that he gets better. You, sir, were very much correct. I started season 5 over the weekend, and…

Late to this, but Thursday night, we went to see Frank Black Francis play a solo set. He is in town recording a new album, and I guess just decided to play a show. He got up there with no set list, took requests and tried out new songs. One of which, he just stopped playing mid song and said that was all he had…

I know. It sucks, but I have to drive across town to meet with some business partners visiting from out of town to discuss interface architecture.

A friend of mine's chubby brother was snowboarding and dipped the nose of the board in the snow which bowed then slingshotted him face first in the snow knocking him completely out. I knew of this story before I went so I blame the falling backwards on overcompensating due to it.

I definitely agree about the Four Roses, but I would also add Buffalo Trace. It is quite tasty and only around $23 a bottle.

I've mentioned it in a drinking thread before but try spiced rum with grenadine and orange juice. The friend that served it to me dubbed it a Shitty Sunrise as it does turn an unpleasant color when stirred.
