The craft beer IPA thing though, you could literally soak pine cones in owl piss and win a ribbon at an IPA-off.
Of all the IPAs out there, there's only a handful I like, because of exactly what you just said.
That doesn't mean all craft beer sucks. IPA is only one style.

The good thing about scotch, is that all of it tastes good. Just some better than others.
There are many good ones. The taste test reviews on them are interesting in their descriptions. One I really like and have consumed is Laphroig, described by several reviews as "medicinal".
On the beer the owl piss filtered by a pine cone is a pretty funny description. Maybe a better filter needs to be used. I was thinking about Kevin Costner in Waterworld and his purifying machine and then I ran across this article about a filtering process where urine could be turned into beer. LINK. I don't know how widespread this is as far as use or how the beer derived therefrom actually tastes.
I need to find some of that McSnoot Ale you often refer to. It sounds intriguing and I have to meet with a judge of Irish descent in a couple of weeks. Might have to bring some of this ale along.

Deeprig, have you sampled any of this McSnoot Ale?
I should have also added I tried some brandy recently and it is pretty good stuff. Whether scotch or brandy the drill is it goes into a shot glass and then a cold Mexican Coke (no ice) goes into another glass for the chaser--you just sip them both slowly until it is all gone.

In reference to the original topic, I had a 3 strip Georgia Gold meal w/ mashed potatoes after meeting with my CPA yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. The sweet taste of crispy chicken helped wash out the bitter taste that came along with writing the annual fat check to the IRS.
8.5/10, finger lickin goodness confirmed.

Best good Scotch for a beginner is Balvenie double barrel. Smooth with a sweet finish.
Sip it clean with a splash of water to release th flavor.

I can vouch for this. My first scotch was this. It's good stuff coming from a bourbon guy
Posted on 4/18/17 at 9:21 pm to DawgCountry
Agreed for sure. Bourbon is typically my drink but the Balvenie was a good scotch intro. Have been trying some of the peaty stuff now but wouldn't have liked them as much at first I don't think.

Another good liquor is the Michters American Whiskey. It's crazy smooth and has a sweet finish too. It's a great sipping whiskey and well worth the extra cost. I actually like it better than any of the top shelf bourbon I've tasted.

Last night Arkansas executed its first prisoner since 2005.
Lidell Lee
The evidence against him was that neighbors saw him walking down the street near the house of the victim on the day of the murder.
Mr. Lee also lived on that street.
There was also a hair in the victim's home that detectives (in 1993) said matched Lee's, using a method since discredited and no longer admissible. No DNA test was ever done.
There was also an alleged drop of blood on Lee's shoe. No DNA test was ever done to show it belonged to the victim.
Lee was a career criminal with a checkered past, an easy target for law enforcement and the community reeling over a horrific murder.
Lee maintained his innocence all the way to the very end.
His last meal was the Holy Communion.
Twice offered an opportunity to speak his last words while strapped to the gurney, Lee opted for silence.
This was nothing more than a long drawn out lynching.

Let me share my logic on why my opinion has evolved on the death penalty.
In cases where the evidence is irrefutable, I support the death penalty.
Here's the problem:
In those cases, the defendant usually signs a plea deal for life. He knows he did it, he knows his goose is cooked. Taxpayers want to save money. Victims don't want to relive the tragedy in a big publicized trial.
Cases that go to trial are those where the evidence has a significant "meh" factor... some amount of doubt, not an open-and-shut case.
Juries are dumb, and lawyers are smart.
There is no doubt in my mind that innocent people are put to death by the government every year.
For that reason, I'm out.

Good call. Back to fried chicken..
Has anybody not given up on 'Better Call Saul' yet?
The Season 3 opener was probably the biggest pile of shite of all. Which says a lot. But, then this week's episode was hands down the single best one ever of the entire series. They went back to doing all the secret hidden subliminal shite and the artsy camera stuff. I'm not talking about the crooked line thing. There was some pretty heavy shite going on in that one subliminally.

It was a great episode

I love Better Call Saul, DVR every episode to watch it twice.
Thing is, I've never watched Breaking Bad. I saw one episode of Breaking Bad in a hotel room once. It featured Saul, he was a cool character.
A month later they spun off Better Call Saul, and I figured I would try to get in on the ground floor. It is excellent television, in my opinion.

The season 3 opener also had very good camera work. I also liked the extended Cinnabon scene to open it.
I liked Mike's breakdown of the car.
I liked the confrontation with the airman.

It's good that the TPOS LINK finally got his comeuppance after committing the murder in 1993 and living some twenty four years longer than his victim did. Cases such as this take way too long before final resolution and justice delayed is justice denied.
On the spirits front I've tried Balvenie SMS and found it to be good. Or at least I think it must have been because I can't find the bottle anywhere.
On the food front I was finally able to locally sample Sonic's reinvented pancake on a stick. For some odd reason they were out of the dipping syrup but it still made for a good late night snack.

Go back and watch Mike's opening segment. It's all thematically connected with lines.
-opens with the guy playing the word search game
-lines of letters containing hidden words (horizontal, vertical, diagonal)
-the word being circled is "trajectory"
-definition of trajectory is about paths, lines, courses, from one point to another
-a metaphor for how we are finally finding out how the Mike we are introduced to in Saul came to work for Gus Fring as we know from Breaking Bad
-they're showing us his trajectory
-all the camera shots and settings and landscapes are bisected horizontally or vertically by lines
-the out of focus lights across the skyline, the centerline markings of the road shown going by, the electrical power plant is all lines, etc
-they beat us over the head with lines in every shot
-start looking for the lines. You'll see them
-the theme also bleeds over into Saul's segments in this episode too
-with the WM logo he paints
-simple lines forming the first letters of Wexler McGill
-he asks the secretary if the lines are straight and there's the obvious joke about his lines being crooked
-he also makes a joke about it looking like a stock market crash
-another metaphor for this series of lines symbolizing his trajectory
-trending down, as we know, towards the serious criminal he will eventually become
-also remember that he painted over the happy rainbow to put up the trajectory metaphor
Lines, dude.
