How about we stop this sled from careening down the slick mountain?
 
I've slipped into drinking Malbecs and Carmoneres for wine, and higher-end (for me, anyway:)) Scotch and tequila. After starting on Laphroyg, my buddy just brought me back a Macallan 12 from Costco in Cali, where it's on the order of 50% cheaper than Governor Gregoire's taxed-to-the-brim liquor. That's some pretty good stuff. I usually drop a bit of water into the Laphroyg to open it up, but the Macallan was very, very smooth straight-up.

On a tangent, I watched "3 sheets Scotland" last night. Zane was allowed to drink a 50 y/o Glenfidditch. $10k per bottle. I'd never heard of anything that old.

EDIT: I should've said that I do a lot of this as research -- I picked up my bartending license earlier this year and I like having more product knowledge than clients do.

I'm not the one bragging about how I show up to functions with my legs waxed to prey on women plied with alcohol. Gimme some Jesus Juice!

No, you shit all over people that go to those functions seeing yourself as some kind of manly man because you take shots and smoke cigars.

All I said maxipad was that a wine club might be a fun option and you jump all over it. Now you want to paint this as me bragging about it after I defend it because you can't get your male chauvinist mind around the idea a wine club could be fun.

Don't know why you attack me so much . . . I've pretty much left you and some of your stupid posts alone.

Slick Mountain makes a wonderful gewürztraminer, fruity and floral, with hints of rosemary and edam cheese, although I thought the 2003 was a bit flaccid.

First, I don't do shots of bourbon. It's a sippin' whiskey. Second, I never proclaimed myself to be a "manly man". That's another false assumption you made.

Man, one yank of the line and you just took off running like a hooked bigmouth bass.

It wasn't an attack, it was a gentle ribbing. Of course, with your increased sensitivity due to the aromatherapy sessions and Oprah's book of the month club which comes along with your wine club membership, no wonder you got all huffy. Lighten up, Francis.:cheers:

Nice logic maxipad, I have a false assumption that you are a proclaimed "manly man" and yet you make all kinds of assumptions about my personality from my statements. Shall we count how many false assumptions you make?

If you are so in tune with me, you should stay from ribbing me as you know fat loser fathers who drink on their own and act like they know what they are talking about (you don't even fake it well) gets me all huffy. :cheers:

C'mon, you admit you're in a wine club and you don't expect to take a little grief? What kind of friends do you have that let that slide?

True fact: I have never had an alcoholic beverage alone. Not even once. It's weird, but alcohol and socializing for me go hand-in-hand.

As for being a loser father, you may have a point. This is my first go-round and you want to do everything right and be a great dad, but who knows? If you become a father, I'm sure you'll experience that self-doubt as well.

I went to nice dinner with my gal awhile back and got a couple of glasses of Macallan 18 yr single malt. It was amazing . . . until the bill came. $25 a glass, and by glass I mean shot. Thank god I only had 2.

Friends who are secure in the "manliness" and don't have to kid someone to feel manly? :dunno:

Nah, it's following the alcohol cycle:

1. It starts friendly

2. It moves to being sloppy and nonsensical

3. A fight breaks out

4. You wake up in the morning with regret and saying to yourself, "I'll never drink again".

Man, in my circle, if you're not getting shit from your buddies, there's something wrong. Perhaps GO's friends like to go out for orange mocha frappachinos?:dunno:

Well if you want to get into true facts, the wine club I belong to sends you boxes of wine quarterly. It is in Forest Grove and they don't have socials.

I just figured I would play with your assumption of what the wine club was about. You like to give me a hard time about how you percieve me so I play along with those perceptions.

Out of all people, if you ever came to a social, I wonder how we would get along . . . either drink and laugh together or take each others heads off (I don't think there is middle ground with our personalities)

As for the father comment, I have no idea what kind of father you are (the admitting your an asshole is a concen but I hope you are kidding), I just figure if you want to question my manhood, I get to question your fatherhood . . . you have no manhood left, you have a kid. :D

What, so you're saying that sitting around with your boys and talking about your feelings over a glass of white zinfandel is effeminate? :cheers:

I think in between 3 and 4, there's usually the "I love you man" portion of the night for some of the drunker individuals.

Either that or an ER visit. Things get volatile at that point.

We'd get along just fine. If I were in town when one of those forum socials were on, I'd simply put "MIXUM" on my nametag.

Who the hell orders a scotch like that in a mixed drink? "Yeah, I'll take a Johnnie Walker Blue Label & Coke...and don't forget the maraschino cherry!"

That is a traveshamockery. What a waste of good Scotch. And I love Manhattans!

You have to order the Maraschino so that you can impress the ladies with your tongue-tying skillzzz.
