QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 09:53 AM) I am probably done seeing movies this year so let me scrape together a top 5. 5. 127 Days 4. Scott Pilgrim vs The World 3. The Social Network 2. True Grit 1. The Town This will probably change the more I think about it. Also liked 'Buried'. Hard to remember movies I saw the first 5 months of the year. Hmm, my friend went and saw the movie 127 Hours -- I'm going to tell him he got gypped out of around 122 days.

QUOTE (G&T @ Dec 26, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) I got a ridiculous Christmas beer haul that I will have to list later (I just drove back from Chicago). It includes several Founders, Three Floyds, couple 2 Brothers, etc. Also Cruzan single barrel. And I have a whole week off. Awesome. Good beer and fine rum! I cracked a 2005 Samichlaus on Christmas Eve that I had been holding on to since it's release. What an amazing drinking experience! I wish I had more of that one.

Eh, I give up

Sorry about a lifetime of getting gypped by the old Christmas/birthday double-duty present thing. Happy birth hristmasdad day.

XBOX was under the Christmas tree for the 11 year old this morning — something he'll now use to monopolize the new 50" 3D plaama TV Santa brought the wife. I'm so f***ing broke now it is not even funny.

I don't think getting into the club Southsiders Club should be that simple — make her study up and take a White Sox quiz like in the movie Diner and then she can jump on board.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 23, 2010 -> 05:45 PM) Jim, that is wonderful! I think you should move back to Chicago and bartend in the viagra triangle. You could probably make a very good living charming the pants off the rich women... Viagra Triangle I'm astounded that I have heard form the hostess and a couple of other people that I "made the party" for many of the guests. The crazy thing is all I did was make decent drinks for people, but in this day and age decent drinks are the exception rather than the rule. Hopefully that is slowly changing. Tonight it's all about holiday cheer with a rocking egg nog modified from a recipe posted last year on the Rumdood blog. • lots of fresh grated nutmeg • 3/4 oz rich, dark rum (I'm using old standby El Dorado 5 year Demerara to good effect) • 3/4 oz brandy • 3/4 oz 2:1 simple syrup • 3 oz/ heavy cream • 1 whole egg (use pasteurized if you are squeamish) Add all of the above into a shaker and shake very well with ice. Strain and top with more grated nutmeg. Drink up and have a Holly Jolly time. I tried tweaking a bit the other night by adding a dash of vanilla extract and it was good but unnecessary. Without the vanilla the flavors of the Demerara rum and brandy shine through better.

Man, you must have been like 15 when you joined SoxTalk. Happy Birthday Old Timer.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 11:20 PM) This is a joke right? No, of course it is not. The neocortex of dolphin brains is more convoluted than that of any primate, including humans. High cognitive ability, self-awareness, and complex emotions are all well-documented in dolphins. The processing centers responsible for handling complex information and emotions are greatly enlarged in dolphins compared to other mammals.

Ugh to fake flavored rums. Zaya or Zacapa or Ron Atlantico have lots of natural vanilla notes without resorting to adulterating the product.

I'm not going to go back and read through tha last couple of pages, but if you want an animal that has been observed hundreds of times engaged in same-sex relationships in nature you don't have to look any further than the bottlenose dolphin. Straight, gay, solo, half-dozen at a go, gang-rape, and rough sex followed by drowning the partner have all been observed. A highly varied and rather unsettling sexual repertoire from a species whose intelligence is on par with our own.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 12:09 PM) And Bigsqwert, you can call me a bigot all you want, but you're blind if you don't think members of the gay community want more than just equality. They want people to not only accept the fact that they're gay, but like it and agree with it. By calling me a bigot and my opinions stupid you've just proven that point. I don't think a single gay person will lose sleep if you don't like or agree with them. Help ensure that they have the same workplace rights, societal rights, and legal rights as straight folk and I'm sure that will be more than enough.

A piece of string walks into a bar and tries to order a drink. Oh. . . , you heard this one before?
