OT - I'm bored, Part Tanev

I think we've exceeded our capacitor of puns...

Tesla me about it.

We should probably conduct ourselves more appropriately.

I'm shocked that there hasn't been more resistance...

Especially in current times, I can't believe we haven't been charged with anything.

This conversation is turning me ion.

I did get a little amped up one time, I should have been smarter, but I couldn't refuse the invitation which got me into some trouble, Fortunately, I was able to copper a plea.

Have you ironed out all the legal details?

I believe so....They were looking to lay a charge of simple battery, but I got all the charges cleared with some community service.

I guess they figure that would be a better outlet for you when you get wired up.

Finally, you guys have used up all available puns, those were awful. I guess there might be another one out there, if you've got one make a post, but I really don't think anyone conduit.

I know I've said this before, but I mean it this time. Tonight is the night I try scotch. I will now accept suggestions for my first bottle of scotch. I currently have $40 in my wallet, but I also have a gun in my basement, so if there's something really worth it I can always make something happen.

Chivas Regal 12 Year is an inexpensive but quite good blended scotch. I can get it here for $20. It's not amazing, but it's a good starter scotch.

You might be able to find some years of Glenlivet or Glenfiddich for $40 or less, and both are pretty solid distilleries. Aberlour is my favorite distillery, and they may also have some younger scotches in your price range. I like their 16 year and A'bunadh best, but those are both about $50.

Also, if you can find an independent bottler like Battlehill, they bottle other distilleries' scotches and sell them at a lower price. I know they have at least Macallan and Laphroaig at lower rates.

I hope this helps.

That's a pretty good scotch post from DS, I like Johnny Walker Gold Label myself (aged 18 years), it's probably around the $40 to $50 dollar range. Macallan is also very good.

What's your thoughts on starting with blended? Good idea, or dive right into single malt?

I'm not a scotch snob, some people think blended scotch is crap and will only drink single malt, I've enjoyed some very nice blended scotch.

 

[Darkstone42]

There's nothing wrong with a good blended scotch. As long as it's a good one.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

I've been told single malt is tough to start with.

Not to interrupt a scotch discussion, but Steven Lumbala of the University of Calgary (my alma mater) has rushed for 269 yards today. The U of C is about to win their 5th straight Canada West title (that's never been done before).

They didn't have a huge selection of reasonably priced bottles, so I got a pint of JW Black Label. If I like it, I'll move on to something more interesting.

/also got a pack of Founders Breakfast Stout... soooo good.

That's my dad's favourite (when he felt like treating himself). He would usually buy Red Label to save some cash.

Or for that kinda money you can get a 5 gallon jug of Ambassador and still have money for a few bags of Cheez Waffies
