expired huh? I guess Smokey couldn't find a home on the Sift either.
*promote.

Yesterday, I missed Irma Thomas' birthday. Today is the birthday of Tony Iommi, John Frankenheimer, Nicolaus Copernicus, Smokey Robinson, Karen Silkwood, Jeff Daniels, Falco, and closer to our generation, Justine Bateman. My queue is full, so you should do something about these 2/19 births.

I was saying Boo-ooks.



Also I don't let my glasses stay empty for twenty minutes, but hey, if that's the way you roll then who am I to stand in the way of your effeminate ass? Maybe you should be drinking wine coolers.

Black coffee isn't sweet. That's a terrible analogy. Terrible. Terrible. Boo. Books.

But seriously, when I say bourbon I just mean Southern whiskey, so I mentally include Jack and Jim and all the the other ones. But you're right, there's a difference. I like Southern whiskey because the sweeter flavor is good on my palette. It's not super sweet, just slightly sweet to the taste. And if you finish a glass of neat whiskey (any type) and set the empty glass out for twenty minutes or so, you can smell the sweet notes or smokey notes. A good Woodford Reserve smells like vanilla.

Slightly oaky doesn't bother me at all. In fact, it gives whiskey a certain charm. I don't care for Scotch, because it's way too smokey. Though if I'm in Vegas and being a douche with a cigar, I'm drinking Scotch because it just works together.

I know bourbon is sweeter than scotch, but then a cup of black coffee is sweeter than scotch too. However, all bourbon is aged in charred oak barrels, and that does give it a hint of smoky flavor, which my sensitive palate can detect. That's why if I have to drink an American whiskey made mostly from corn I'll drink Tennessee whiskey, like Jack Daniels, because it's charcoal filtered. That helps remove a little more of the smoky flavor.

Fuck Kentucky and their fucking bourbon - unless I'm on a jag and there's nothing else around. I'll drink girly peppermint schnapps before bourbon, and that sweet, syrupy shit is pretty damn low on my list.

Now I know you're a Yankee. Bourbon isn't typically smokey. What bourbon are you drinking? It's typically made from mash and is sweeter.

Really? I kid about Canadian whiskey - Crown Royal, Pendleton, and Tangle Ridge are all great tasting, and even regular old Canadian Club and VO are pleasing to my palate. I know there are a few people out there who dismiss Canadian whiskey because they claim it's too 'light' in flavor, and for the cheap shit that's true. But a glass of good Canadian hooch, especially the higher end stuff like Gibson's and Wiser's, can stand toe to toe with whiskey made anywhere else on Earth, IMHO.

Scotch and bourbon both taste too smoky to me, but they'll do if there's nothing else around.

Lol, I've only had bourbon once and it didn't really impress me. I still haven't had any Canadian whiskey. Weird, eh?

Awesome film, awesome music

It's worth noting that this version of the song is by Stephen Malkmus (from Pavement) & The Million Dollar Bashers (featuring Sonic Youth members Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, Television guitarist Tom Verlaine, Dylan bassist Tony Garnier, guitarist Smokey Hormel and keyboardist John Medeski)

Those chubby fingers have never been so happy.


Whoa - those indeed are very chubby fingers!

>> ^BoneRemake:

I was honestly thinking of whipping up something similar, Now that I had seen that video of the laser disintegrating the mosquitoes wings, I wish to have a holster and a pistol I can whip out and eradicate some flying intruders such as fly's, moths , mosquitoes and many many other insects roaming the walls.


You just gave me a nerd-on.

That was awesome! Sift it!

i particularly liked how he stood there and watched it detonate.

Its not like it was threatening to him....just a smokey. They get really hot, but other than that, what cause would he have to shit his pants? The smoke it produces doesnt even irritate your lungs.


Yeah but he definitly had a look of fear on his face like a deer in the headlights. That's what made it funny, c'mon. If he just stood there and let it detonate next him then the humor would have been diminished.
