Well, the top end Jack isn’t bad, but the basic JD certainly isn’t what I’d call ‘good’. It gets the job done, but once you’ve had stuff like Wild Turkey Rare Breed, plan ol’ JD just doesn’t cut it any more.
When i say “Jack Daniel’s” I assume one is speaking of Black Lable (or better). No one drinks the green, do they? *shudder* May as well drink jim beam. *gags*
I enjoy Wild Turkey as well. The Wild Turkey Honey is awesome!
I’m with you. The Lagavulin is always a classic. Though i’m more of a Glenkinchie fan when i do drink scotch. My father in law loves the Lagavulin though.
I’m always more of a bourbon drinker though.
but there’s plenty of fine bourbon out there.
Rockhill farms makes a good ones
the Single malt small batches from the Beam distilleries are pretty fine too…. Bookers, Bakers
Hancocks President’s reserve is one of my favorites
As is good ole Pappy Van Winkle. (15 or 20 year, really they’re both fantastic)
It makes me chuckle when i hear “wild turkey rare breed” and “gentleman’s jack” referred to as fine whiskey. Now, i’m far from a snob, and i will enjoy EITHER of those (and frankly, Beam doesn’t get near enough credit, it’s a tasty bourbon in it’s own right… in a julep, or even neat or straight up… drink it slow and it’s not bad (a little sweet though) Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s bad. but you can’t call those “top shelf version of a common brand” fine whiskey)
namaste. Your knowledge (and wallet) outclass my own.
As an aside, please note I never used the words ‘fine whiskey’, although I can see now where it might have been implied.
I’ve had fine, I’ve had outstanding, I’ve had ‘Holy God that bottle cost more than my car, and it was worth it’, but only when someone else was buying. My budget only really supports common brands.
Crap, i didn’t notice you mentioned Oban. I LOVE the Oban.
Still, i’m more of a bourbon fan myself. (and you can usually get great bourbon cheaper than good scotch… like half the price. and don’t even get me started on the very very old scotches.. i can justify spending more than like 200+$ on a bottle of liquor. usually i can’t justify more than 100$)
But, if i’m looking to get hammered, i’m not even looking at a 50-100$ range. If you’re just drinking fast to get hammered, get something cheap you like, don’t waste your money on the good stuff. That’s for sippin’.
True. I am ashamed fancy whisky and whiskey is worth the money though. Its like wine. And you don’t have to spend a TON to get great stuff. And we gotta be honest. Beam and Jack sell huge for a reason. They aren’t bad. Take your plain ole jack, rocks, and a little water and it gets very sippable. I still LOVE crown royal… its what turned me on to whisky in general
there are thousands of married men who hang themselves every year. The marriage isn’t the best remedy for suicidal tendencies. It’s the feeling of loneliness (among other things) that drives people to kill themselves.
You can be married and still, feel very, very lonely. On the other side, you can remain single but have friends that will always support you and keep you sane.
Epilogue:
At the age of 104, he spontaneously morphed into a jet, and bombed Moscow, Russia. Knowing that hordes of MiG’s would be on his tail, he decided to choose death over capture, escape the atmosphere and collide into the sun. To this day, his dead body craps out sunspots JUST TO SCREW WITH OUR RADIOS. And he died happily ever after.
You can do most of those things when you are married, though. :S Do you mean to tell me that the average wife doesn’t let her husband go to naked bars, wear his favorite jeans, drink out of the carton, and leave the toilet seat up? Hell, I go to strip clubs and drink out of the carton myself.
Sooner or later, the prince will sit down and think: This IS the good life, but maybe it was better if I lived like this and STILL had the princess (except the part of the skinny girls and the girls half my age xD)
This is 100% pulled from a radio morning show I listen to in Kansas City called the Johnny Dare Morning show. Their “genius” put this together a few months back and I hear damn near every week. The second I read this I knew exactly where it was from and had to call it out. This is actually pretty crappy in comparison.
It says he dated girls half his age and fucked with skinny girls. How is this forever alone? I don’t think you have grasped the concept of forever alone. Stop ruining memes.
“And he kept drinking until he his liver swelled to the size of a pillow and caught gonnorhea from a whore who stole his last 100 from his wallet in a shitty vegas hotel room. The end.”
Most young girls are creeped out by old, unmarried pervs. They run away and call the cops.
Most family members are disappointed when their sons refuse to marry, they don’t think it’s cool.
Most people marry as they get older, so the friends won’t be thinking he’s king sh!t either. They’ll think he’s a loser and stop handing out with him.
A lifelong bachelor is one of two things:
He’s either gay and unwilling to admit it, or he has some GIGANTIC, GLARING personality flaw that in this wide world of women wanting marriage, not ONE would give him the time of day.
yeah, get married Mr. Reality. Fill everybody’s elses expectations except your own.
You know I feel pity for you. It seems you live in very traditional society and you are totally dependable on some of its members, thus unable to do anything else than accepted and expected from you.
Please just accept the fact that there are many places in the world where:
- friends will not turn away from you just because you are single (what “friends” would they be, if they did?!?)
- people are capable of living by themselves, they don’t have to take money from their parents
- nobody at work gives a sh.t about your marital status
Nobody at work will care about your marital status – except that your boss will pay your married co-workers about 27% more on average, and you end up working when they beg off early to go to their kid’s soccer game *every time*.
You’re a single guy? You’ll die earlier.
Those friends who don’t turn away from you to get caught up in marriage and family? They’ll be just as alone as you when you’re 50, or 40, even if you’re alone together.
Milk from a box?
Aside from how awesome this lifestyle is, i’ll still settle down some day. Who wants to be 50+ and living alone? Sex gets a bit harder to come by at that point too, I imagine.
Yes yes. While this lifestyle sounds cool and all, especially to young unmarried men and adolescents, the fact of the matter is you can’t keep it up forever. Your friends will start families and have less and less time for you. Women will become progressively more and more creeped out by you and more and more likely to only want you for your money (which is only fair since you only want them for their body), eventually you’ll end up mostly alone, unless you change and the older you get the harder it is to start a family. Sure, some people are happy being alone forever… but most of us will need a family. If not now, at some point in their life. Its simple biology. We’re programmed for it. I mean, do any of you know a guy like this? They’re around… and they seem rad when you’re 15… but as you get older everyone thinks they are pathetic sad and doomed, rgardless of how happy they are. Oh and this myth about men being miserable when they have families is self perpetuating. Its as great as you want it to be. Im married with kids and I’ve never had more fun or felt more fulfilled in my life. Its all perspective. (Oh and being married can mean MORE money for luxuries… dual income anyone?) Anyone who thinks this is great is either a) an adolescent (or barely past it) or b)old enough to understand IT IS A JOKE. (Or C needs to get their head out of their ass and realize how good their life really is)
1 + 1 = more than 1, you are correct. Although this assumes that all potential partners have a value of 1, but but we all know that many have a value less than 1 and are therefore net consumers of your income. Hopefully such partners bring additional assets or services with them that provides additional value to the partnership in order to make up for the income disparity.
However you have made a logic error with your calculations because you have failed to incorporate associated incidental costs of your chosen lifestyle, and your life is actually expressed as…
1 + 1 – x where x is the number of children you have.
No matter how much you fudge with the numbers (even if you are an dedicated Andersen accountant…too late for Enron jokes?), by having x>0 number of children you end up with less than the sum of 1 + 1.
But you have empirically proven that h = 100 – 2yc, which assumes a full, robust sense of humour (100) minus years married (y) multiplied by number of children you have (c), and the 2 expresses the accelerated nature of this loss as years and/or children are increased.
In other words, the state of being married with children results in permanent loss of both income and humour, and this loss accelerates with more years and children, so thank you for acting as a public service warning against the dangers of matrimony and procreation.
I love how men who never want to get married constantly brag and boast about how they’ll always be able to leave the lid up, go to strip clubs, drink like a fish, and have thousands of one night stands, and thus their lives are better.
If it bothers them so much that other people around them are married, are they really that happy doing what they’re doing? Coming up with reasons why being single is soooo much better seems to me like a symptom of jealousy.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to marry the person you love one day. Just as there is nothing wrong with wanting to party all the time and have sex with random women.
In the end, the guy who likes to party a lot will be happier in his own way, as will the guy who wanted to settle down. Except the guy who settled down might have less STDs and liver problems.
I want to think you missed the “and never got cheated on while working”, these kind of stuff (the “sin”, the “adventure sense”) would give you STDs, you know
The other side of the story: Once upon a time, a prince asked a beautiful princess to marry him, and the princess said “No.” – You see, the princess knew something about him. She knew that he wasn’t right for her. He was an alcoholic who would soon lament his choice to be monogamous. He would perceive her requests and desires as burdensome and irritating. He was selfish and cared more about his money and freedom than he would their partnership. He was lacking in love, and she couldn’t sacrifice herself to that kind of guy. She deserved better, and so she didn’t settle… The End.
leaving the toilet seat up.. ah.. how i miss those days…
And drinking from the box… I can do that since i am Alone! : D
My partner leaves the toilet seat up. What do I care? I’m a big girl. I can put it down myself.
I agree. i dont know what all the fuss is about… fcking chicks
He drank crappy liquor? That’s not awesome.
DEAR CTHULHU! D-did you just call Jack Daniel’s “crappy liquor”? You are dead to me! *swoons*
Well, the top end Jack isn’t bad, but the basic JD certainly isn’t what I’d call ‘good’. It gets the job done, but once you’ve had stuff like Wild Turkey Rare Breed, plan ol’ JD just doesn’t cut it any more.

Gentleman Jack.
Learn it. Know it. Drink it.
This. Or depending on your ratio of country to irish, switch to Jameson.
Gentleman Jack has a really nice bottle, too.
Guys, Lagavulin, Bowmore, Oban, Laphroaig. At least a Talisker.
This guy may actually know something about whiskey. Listen to him.
I’m with you. The Lagavulin is always a classic. Though i’m more of a Glenkinchie fan when i do drink scotch. My father in law loves the Lagavulin though.

ALERT EVERYONE!
^^ FUCKIN’ SCOTCH NERDS!
I think they are the best kind of nerds
Youd do realize you all sound like a bunch of hipsters who are bragging about this one thing…but youve nevr heard of it.
True. I am ashamed

Forever Alone Guy, trying to make his life seem cool.
Hey, some people like solitude. If you don’t dig it, take Guile’s advice.
Go home, and be a family man.
It’s a lot more fun being single when you’re a woman because…you still get to eat hot meals.
>Implying men are physically incapable of cooking
Tell that to my lemon catfish.
If you absolutely need the typical guy route,
>Implying microwaves don’t exist, and neither does take out or restaurants
Guys always have hot meals too cause we grill…just recently perfected my dry rub and bbq sauce…and also lasagna but that’s kinda hard to grill
mmm.. Forever Alone Guy?
Doesn’t it says:
DATED WOMEN half his age.
this doesn’t seem Forever Alone to me..
No, it doesn’t says
“fucked with cute skinny girls” and “dated women half his age”.
… Forever alone? I think not.
“Dated women half his age”…hopefully only after the age of 36.
Whatevs. I’m 18 and I date women half my age. BFD.
He’s “Never Alone”.
I approve of this story. Bitches bee all crazy and shit.
And then, one night, went back to his house and hung himself.
there are thousands of married men who hang themselves every year. The marriage isn’t the best remedy for suicidal tendencies. It’s the feeling of loneliness (among other things) that drives people to kill themselves.
You can be married and still, feel very, very lonely. On the other side, you can remain single but have friends that will always support you and keep you sane.

Our AAD ain’t that bad. They would take down a single (no pun intended) jet for sure.
You can do most of those things when you are married, though. :S Do you mean to tell me that the average wife doesn’t let her husband go to naked bars, wear his favorite jeans, drink out of the carton, and leave the toilet seat up? Hell, I go to strip clubs and drink out of the carton myself.
So, uhhhh…(looks down at feet)…would you like to go out some time?
What Miss Riddle said. Mine even got to integrate my comic collection with his comic collection. WIN!
Nope, only if they’re trendy, probably not, and they probably would, but they’d silently judge you for it.
Hate to say it, but you’re an outlier. A pretty cool one, but one nonetheless.
This is effimg awesome.
tololol @ lame comments “forever alone”… it also says “all his friends thought he was cool”!
Oh you’re forgetting the huge pile of money he’s saving not having to buy useless uterus crap trololol
Oh and most unhappy and empty inside men I know are married so…
Sooner or later, the prince will sit down and think: This IS the good life, but maybe it was better if I lived like this and STILL had the princess (except the part of the skinny girls and the girls half my age xD)
In the Middle Ages, a guy could do the equivalent of all that, because women were property and knew to keep their mouths shut….

^ reality at it’s finest
The way they word this sounds like a 14 year old trying to be cool…
Sounds Like Charlie Sheen’s Life.
Yeah, this rant is forgetting something.
Most young girls are creeped out by old, unmarried pervs. They run away and call the cops.
Most family members are disappointed when their sons refuse to marry, they don’t think it’s cool.

He’s either gay and unwilling to admit it, or he has some GIGANTIC, GLARING personality flaw that in this wide world of women wanting marriage, not ONE would give him the time of day.
Simple as that.
Marriage is for squares. A lot of people just do it because it is tradition to do it.
yeah, get married Mr. Reality. Fill everybody’s elses expectations except your own.
You know I feel pity for you. It seems you live in very traditional society and you are totally dependable on some of its members, thus unable to do anything else than accepted and expected from you.

And there was a parade and rides, and Caboose won the parade!
In Germany, we have a similar one.
It ends with “… und kratzte sich genüsslich am Sack.”
Repost….
how did he have a family if he never got married?
Wow, ever heard of siblings, nephews, nieces, brothers, sisters, parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents?
Milk from a box?
Aside from how awesome this lifestyle is, i’ll still settle down some day. Who wants to be 50+ and living alone? Sex gets a bit harder to come by at that point too, I imagine.

fuck bitches get money
marriage is the leading cause of divorce

Problem is men actually want to marry snobby princesses, only cause they’re beautiful.
