I first read that joke in Bloom County 30 years ago. I feel sorry for the people that missed out on that back then. I grew up on Bloom County and Doonesbury

If only we had bought more Spam and Hormel Bacon….

I like Bond's that don't die

America thanks you for your service. Hopefully the PTSD isn't too bad.

Chuck E. Was part of the REAL Rat Pack

There is probably some truth to what you are saying. I'll have the occasional Manhattan but drink most whiskey neat. But my go to Summer drink is gin and tonic so I have nothing against a good mixed drink

That looks very cool. Thanks for the tip

Every country has their own rules but in the US to be called whiskey it has to be a spirit distilled from grain, aged at least 2 years, and bottled at 40% or greater ABV. Most Irish whiskys and Scotch whiskys are blends of malt with other grains (not really neutral, however). There are some cheap ones, and there are…

I was never a fan but I had a college roommate that was very into Tintin. But I agree it fits the mold of retro escapism. I don't think there is any surprise that Spielberg would be into Tintin given his love of old short adventure serials.

"I swear honey it's porn. You know I would never cheat on you with The AV Club."

I am proud, PROUD I say, to be a little square (shark) head.

I can't remember ever having an Old Fashioned but they are going to be around 35% alcohol so perhaps not easy drinking.
My wife hates whiskey but she will drink tequilla based drinks, so I gave her a sample of a really good anejo tequilla in the hope she could start there and work to whiskey. Failed miserably. …

I love the old pulp magazine heroes like Doc Savage and The Shadow and The Spider. Seems like every fan I come across is middle aged now. But I love the retro setting. And in a world today that is full of shades of gray, the simple black and white, good versus evil, point of view is refreshing. Just pure…

Whiskey is a hard sell to most people because there aren't a lot of easy drinking whiskey based cocktails that are served with a paper umbrella. Jack and Coke, or Seven and Seven, are awful. Maybe someday the mint julep will get really trendy, or the Manhattan will join the Martini as being trendy. But really one…

I classify Secretary Of Transportation Elaine Chao as an invertebrate due to her lack of spine. First, I would think an Asian American woman would have an issue with white supremacists. But amazingly she is married to Mitch McConnell and before all this Charlottesville shit went down she got a front row seat to…

"Before I take you to bed, can I swab your cheek?"

If gay people are making a lifestyle choice, then I have to assume that these less than pure white people are also making a choice and their white friends are their beards

That's exactly why you shouldn't fuck an ape. You might be related (laws may vary in the Deep South)

Calling Cher a cuck and a snowflake on TV was kind of harsh

Indeed, when my local record store closed 10+ years ago I picked up Berlin's 2002 release Voyeur for a few dollars. I had no expectations of it being good, and it ended up being very good.
