If you recall, it's what Crockett carried in Miami Vice in the first few seasons until the startup company that made the Bren Ten went tits up.  The Bren Ten was a heavily modified version of a CZ pistol, built around the then new 10mm cartridge.  Anyway, Vltor, which makes assorted accessories for ARs is producing them, and got the rights to the Bren Ten name.  Sweet.  I hope to hell this venture doesn't crash and burn like the others.  It'll come in the original 10mm and also in .45.

Ten bucks says Veeshir has the money set aside for one already. Heh.

I usually go for scotch, but I gave bourbon a go, bottle of Knob Creek, nice.  You got a favorite bourbon?  Make a suggestion.  Hell, if you've got a favorite scotch or other whiskey, or hell, anything else, let's hear it.

...keeping in mind, this is a moronblog, so Val-U-Rite is a given.

1 Bourbon: Makers Mark
If none of that is around, I go for Uncle Jack in the Tennessee Sour Mash division.
Martini? Bombay Sapphire with three olives (Wiser & Rosetta saw Wifey & me knock a few back).

Beer? yes

4 I gave up drinking back in 2002 but until that time boilermakers with Wild Turkey dropped in a draft were the way to go.

5 When I've got some money to drop, I go for Red Breast.  Fabulous sipping whiskey.  Tastes ... buttery.  Love it.

champagne- cristallino for mimosas, krug if i want my eyes to roll up in my head.

 

vodka- who cares? it's vodka. who wants to pay a pantload to have it taste more like nothing?

8 before I gave up booze 11 yrs ago, I was more of a rum or brandy guy, with the occasional tequila shooter. vodka was more for soaking fruit in, and beer was meh. oh, and wine was for cooking with =D

9 Wild Turkey, but I haven't had it in 30 years.

10 Knob Creek is excellent but my favorite at the moment is Russell's Reserve. And I love my bourbon with a dash of vanilla-weird huh?

Posted by: MM at January 03, 2010 10:38 AM (ELVVE)

11 If you want the BEST try BOOKERS it will melt your soul and brain,Woodford reserve is a good one also

Posted by: mike percha at January 03, 2010 11:25 AM (DTpjj)

12 Knob Creek is definitely my go-to bourbon.  Wild Turkey works too.  I've been meaning to try Booker's, but I rarely go to bars any more and haven't been willing to shell out the money for a whole bottle.

Bourbon vs. Scotch -- Mostly a price/quality issue for me.  A really outstanding scotch beats all.  But for what you'd pay for a bottle of perfectly enjoyable Knob Creek you'd get a barely palatable scotch.

Gin - between Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray I'm pretty indifferent.  I don't get why people are so divided between the two.  Gordon's or maybe even Seagram's in a pinch.

Vodka - "Not Smirnoff". That stuff gives me the worst headaches.  I don't drink so much vodka any more, but Stoli or Skyy stick in my mind.

...and wine was for cooking with ....

Ahhh ...I find I rather disagree with that (well, unless you left out the word "also" between "was" and "for").

...neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

See? Wine is biblical. God-approved. Mandated even. The Big Guy himself so approved of wine, he even turned water into wine a time or two.

Hey botnet, have you tried Bourbon of Scotch?  Why, yes, botnet.  The botnet has tried, and gets too fucked up.  Stay away from the evil spirits, botnet, they'll scramble your brains.

 For Scotch:

 Glenlivet or Glenfiddich.

But the Irish do it better:

Bushmill's 10 or 12 yr old or Black Bush.

As far as Gin goes, the English do not make gin, the Dutch do.The English make kerosene. Try a Jonge Genever. Bols is the easiest to get.

Posted by: donavon pfeiffer at January 03, 2010 03:29 PM (VP71t)

16 Crown and Hennessy are my favorites.
Hennessy and Bailey's is a great drink, too bad it's like 30$/glass (Hennessy ain't cheap)
I've lately decided to try single malt scotches. I have some Glenfiddich, I'll let you know.

The problem is that I mostly just drink for Giants football, and that's over in the most painful way possible.

For sparkling wine, I like prosecco or Brut, I like fruity but not sweet wines (Italian mostly, hence the prosecco).

Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey.  Not cheap, but if you have it available in your state, which you likely do by now, make sure to give it a try. 

American made, privately owned, micro-distilled deliciousness that should be supported with our dollars rather than the huge conglomerates.

Nancy Pelosi Christmas cards.

I'm going to make you click over and look at them, as the last time I posted that pic of Botox Nan I was accused of purposely giving youse guys nightmares.  And that's not the sort of gift I want to give this holiday season, is it?

A heifer animal.  From the Bing search results.



I hope that anyone contemplating giving a heifer for Christmas actually knows that a heifer is an animal.  And I hope that at least one person gets one of these for Christmas as a result of their buddy's drunken Christmas shopping.  And I hope that Heifer International has a liberal return policy.

A holiday poster of David Hasselhoff.  Complete with a facsimile of his handwriting, probably because his real handwriting is too shaky from the DTs for him to sign the posters.

Single guys and gals, show this clip to your dates. (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here and assuming that you manage to slip some poor unsuspecting soul some roofies, tie him/her up, drag him/her to your basement, and pretend to have a date, at least once a year.) In three minutes and seventeen seconds, you'll know whether it's worth kidnapping them again a second date by whether his/her head explodes or he/she starts applauding.

There is some controversy over who penned these words, but they're commonly attributed to a Chaplain named Dennis (or Denis) Edward O'Brien:

It is the soldier, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag,
who serves under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.
