I like blended fine, usually a lot smoother than single malt, though there is the occasional single malt that is smooth too. I don't particularly like peaty whiskeys or any of their variations. If I ever want the taste of peat in my mouth I know where the local peat bogs are. (I've walked on floating peat mats to find carnivorous plants, that was a cool trip!).
I prefer a good pure vodka, or certain flavoured vodkas, for example bisongrass. Or brown rum, for example Kraken or Captain Morgan, nothing wrong with the cheaper stuff if you're smart about it.
I recently watched DIE HARD for the first time about a week ago—which is saying something for someone who was alive when it came out—and it filled in SO MANY gaps of my pop culture knowledge. Now I can see the references from shows like Family Guy & Community.
Also I decided this movie is not a Christmas movie and anyone who says it is is just being a contrarian weirdo. And as a contrarian weirdo myself, I applaud the S-tier trolling.
I recently rewatched Iron Sky, and if Die Hard is a christmas movie, then so is Iron Sky because it has magical flying vehicles, just like father Christmas.
Iron Sky 2 is a terrible movie by the way, but silly enough to be entertaining if you put your standards low enough. It has secretly-a-lizard-person Hitler riding a T-Rex through a reclaimed Nazi Moon base; fighting against his brother, the also secretly-a-lizard-person God / Satan / moon-Fuhrer from part one, and also against the reformed nazi school teacher from part one who was de-aged by the lizard-person's magic potion that turned ape into man, who then kicks the T-rex to death. If you wonder why you haven't seen Hitler in a while, that is because they were all hiding inside the hollow earth with practically all historical figures who are also lizard-people.
Lol I watched the first Iron Sky SO MANY years ago, around '10–'12, it was a good old fashioned stupid, fun time of a movie. The sequel sounds awful… can't wait to watch it!!
I consider Iron Sky just as good as Starship Troopers, and Iron Sky 2 is just as bad as Starship Troopers 3. We do not speak of Starship Troopers 2, that one is an abomination because it missed the point that fascists are bad.
Yikes: Most of New York State is expected to see heavy snowfall beginning this afternoon into tomorrow morning, with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour. Some areas could see totals approaching a foot of snow by Saturday morning.
Yesterday, I got to the The Holidays party and my mom was holding a baby. Immediately, I wanted to climb in my mom's lap and push the baby away. I mean, WTF, I have NEVER been clingy with my mom. THEN, as we lined up (youths eat first in our family*), someone dared say that at 48 years old, I was NOT one of the youths and that I should eat with the old. Doesn't she know who she is talking to? I am Dana's BABY.
*I used to think this was meaningful but now I know it's to get their pushy little hands out of the way. I serve myself, always, at the end of the kids' line.
This is fascism, pure and simple. The talk about people being "weak" if they don't want a spectacle of violence or hateful talk around them. I'm fucking sick of it.
And this is why I have always stood up to my bullies. Unless you stand up they will not stop. And once this gets too far it usually (except in just a couple of cases) takes World War to get the fascist rats out.
We should have ROLLED THE FUCK out of them at the end of the Civil War. Fuck that "charity to all and malice to none" bullshit. Biggest mistake this country has made, IMO. Other than allowing slavery to exist in the first fucking place.
I want to smack them in the goddamned mouths. :( I'm so tired of them. I'm so tired of being told I'M THE ONE THAT HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME B/C I HAVE EMPATHY AND AM A NORMAL, COMPASSSIONATE FUCKING PERSON.
They’re smothering the empathy I had for them. Although maybe it was less empathy and more pity? Because imagine being that bad at being a human person. And also demonstrably incapable of growth and change.
All of this. I hate that they have dragged me down to this level because honestly if they all disappeared off the face of the earth tomorrow I would not shed a tear. I would not piss on a one of them if they were on fire and howling in the street.
They did this to me. I never hated anyone until the pandemic and saw the morally-bankrupt ignorance and hatred of my fellow Americans.
Merry Christmas. Hey I will ruin the movie now: the criminal gang has already murdered the Japanese executive and McClane’s wife’s stupid coworker.
They’d keep right on killing hostages in retaliation for Our Hero offing them!
Tossed down the elevator shaft maybe
Die Hard was also a Barefoot Running movie well before its time.
So thoughts about blended scotch? When I'm not being fancy, I do rather like The Famous Grouse.

Did anyone notice Bruce's undershirt changed colors during the movie?
Awesome!!

I want peace, not bombs!
Birbs, not bombs!
OK, who can make us some T-shirts?
There's a shop in my town where they literally make those things!
I forgot that I actually have a person of my own. Lol.
She makes ALL manner of swag for Defense of Democracy, and other causes too.
Good! :)
Your Person sounds pretty cool.
She is. pandadm.com

I hope we can manage a good snowstorm down here in subtropical NOVA this winter.
snow starts just as I am going on-shift. typical.
But of course. Nature is servicey like that.
Be careful, there's talk of an early start, 2pm, possibly.
I'm about to go make the supply run...
Everybody: In a leetle while, Budgie is going out to do The Volunteer Thing!
I am going to sort through clothing and food. We just got through Christmas, if people keep donating, we are helping people get better.
:)
Yay!!!!!!!!! This is good work. Thank you!
Daily Beast: Trump Humiliated as He Scores Lowest Kennedy Center Ratings Ever [https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-humiliated-as-he-scores-lowest-kennedy-center-honors-ratings-ever/]
Watched by only two people: Karoline Leavitt and Stephen Miller
CBS is on a roll.
Nobody wants to see that orange bag of shit during the Holidaze.
Or before the Holidaze. Or after.
ratings have a well-known liberal bias

Psychotic as are the cheering chuds.
The Actuated Fuck?! Must be a Pepsi guy.
These people are so strange and have no redeeming characteristics.
I’ve said it before but if we have to live in a time of mass psychosis, I would prefer the kind where the deluded just dance themselves to death.
He seems nice. Seriously, if you’re a Republican today, you are a fucked up and broken human.
A broken, lowdown, pathetic, sociopathic worm.

Is this supposed to be "christian?"
Remember when this guy was our President?

I’d like to administer a beat down of my own, complete domination by violence is the only thing they understand.
And this is why I have always stood up to my bullies. Unless you stand up they will not stop. And once this gets too far it usually (except in just a couple of cases) takes World War to get the fascist rats out.

Lol, his piece of shit outfit!
War on x-mas on steroids?
to say 'these are not serious people' seems inadequate
He's being a Real Christian by beating up a Saint known for giving to the poor!
Empathy is a sin, y’all
The disdain I have for these people… it’s a lot
Authoritarian pigs do see empathy as a weakness.
I want to smack them in the goddamned mouths. :( I'm so tired of them. I'm so tired of being told I'M THE ONE THAT HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME B/C I HAVE EMPATHY AND AM A NORMAL, COMPASSSIONATE FUCKING PERSON.

Tolerance is a social contract, all that happens when you break it is that the other side (i.e. us) doesn't have to show tolerance to you either.
All of this. I hate that they have dragged me down to this level because honestly if they all disappeared off the face of the earth tomorrow I would not shed a tear. I would not piss on a one of them if they were on fire and howling in the street.

My biggest complaint is how the AI made him look buff instead of the saggy dad bod he really is
False advertisement!
Nobody, including his sycophants, buys it.
You'll get one doll for Xmas instead of 37 and you'll like it!

i whittled it myself, from what was left of my appendix!
This is our “last merry christmas.” Death camps after they steal the midterms?
No no no, 'death camps' is such an ugly term. We prefer to call them..... no, upon consideration, 'death camps' will do nicely. Line up, libs!
talk about the war on christmas
