Its all good BLUE. We just all have to double our consumption now! Im not eating or drinking really as Im battling this flu. Supposed to be doing a nightly tasting of our whiskey tipsy tree/advent calendar but thats not happening. 574 sample bottles given out and I cant even taste the damn whiskey.
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:15 PM ^
Thanks rice4114 👍
Love the Meeeechigan bottle of Michters. I bet it is some damn good juice 🥃. Hope you are feeling better soon 😊
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:07 PM ^
It's all good. I'll be having more than one drink, so we might as well have more than one drinking thread. 😊
Wishing everyone that made the trip to Indy a great time!

Some Miller Lite, a couple of Yuengling chocolate porters, and a Hop Slam ale as well.
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:37 PM ^
Are those Yuengling Hershey beers any good? I’ve wanted to try them but don’t want to be stuck with em if I don’t like them.
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:53 PM ^
I got some last year. Definitely a dessert beer!
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:57 PM ^
Right on, bought some of these last year for Christmas and they’re for sure a dessert beer if you like that kinda thing. They were like $24ish for a 4 pack. Expensive but worth it imo
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:03 PM ^
I was wondering the same thing about Founders KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge. I'd like to give it a shot, but at ~$25/4 pack, I need to know if it's any good first.
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:13 PM ^
Had a sample tap pour at a local bar a few weeks ago. It's extremely sweet with the maple and Mackinac Fudge.
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:25 PM ^
Thanks. I'll probably pass on it then.
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:51 PM ^
I like them, my son really liked them, he said he had not had anything like them...but he is young, just barely of age.
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:06 PM ^
Buckeye Tears!!
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:08 PM ^
2022 vintage? Or do you still have some of the 2021 left?
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:28 PM ^
Finished off the 2021 tears before The Game. Going to sip on the 2022 for a year.
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:40 PM ^
Here’s some more for you good sir
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:07 PM ^
Fuck Urban Meyer right now. SMDH.
December 2nd, 2022 at 10:54 PM ^
Fuck Urban right now as well. No specific reason, just fuck that guy.
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:41 PM ^
Double fisting!
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:44 PM ^
Takeout Chinese food and watching the PAC 12 title game. Live about 50 minutes north from Lucas Oil so I’ll be heading that way around 11-12 tomorrow. Section 247 row 2 seats 9-11 maybe I’ll see one of ya around. Hail!
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:49 PM ^
Sounds good. I might have to switch from wings to Chinese take out tomorrow.
Be loud Go Blue!
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:53 PM ^
Kokomo?
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:55 PM ^
Northeast, honestly I’m just lazy and say north lol. Live in the country in Daleville in between Muncie and Anderson.
December 2nd, 2022 at 11:00 PM ^
Worked out of Kokomo off and on over the years. Detroit based. Knee high by the 4th of July saying in Michigan for corn means you are a failure in Indiana. Head high is more like it and way more humid.
December 2nd, 2022 at 11:14 PM ^
Lmao totally correct on the corn, I usually end up in Kokomo about 5-8 times a year to make it to the racetrack on Davis Rd by the Coke plant. Ima big USAC (non wing sprint cars and midgets) & World of Outlaws (wing sprint car) fan. You might not even know where it’s at if you were just here and there in Kokomo.
December 3rd, 2022 at 8:51 AM ^
You are correct I did not know about it. Flew in there on the GM and Chrysler planes and that sure beat the forever drive.
Coworker left at 4:00 AM alone to head down there for a 10:00 meeting and he fell asleep and his car veers down and got stuck in the flat muddy median. He is in a suit and with mud over his ankles took off his dress shoes to climb up to meet the cop. Cop asks why he has no shoes on and in the midst of all this wonderful adventure he says he always takes his shoes when he goes to sleep.
I loved that!
December 3rd, 2022 at 12:24 PM ^
I know the Chrysler plant is still running but the GM plant just holds vehicles that are waiting on chips or at least that’s how it was these last 2 years.
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:45 PM ^
In Texas. Cheap Bourbon and coke. Rooting for a Utah loss.
Tomorrow is coffee and trying a new breakfast taco place. Rooting for USA soccer and then watching all the championship games that matter (not the ACC).
Will probably be lazy and order wings.
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:58 PM ^
Do you get cheap bourbon so you can afford the coke?
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:09 PM ^
Of course.
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:19 PM ^
Did the coke come with free tickets?
glad those days are past!
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:10 PM ^
No. I only bought 1 coke. Free tix require 2 coke purchase 😭
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:51 PM ^
I have some Bicardi Gold spiced rum that's waiting for the kid to head off to bed. Dinner was a chicken alfredo I picked up from Wegman's on the way home. It was surprisingly better than I thought it would be! Still not homemade or good restaurant fare, but not bad. I also picked up three fillets each of Mahi and Halibut. Between the fish and the alfredo pasta, I spent $90 at Wegman's. WTH was I thinking? LOL!!
Waiting for the game to start, not sure I can take anymore of this nail salon business...
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:07 PM ^
I miss Wegman's. Hands down the best grocery store of the places I've lived.
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:18 PM ^
Wegmans is totally overrated.
There are plenty of grocers around that outpace them in multiple areas.
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:51 PM ^
Made a big pot of turkey chili in the instapot (family favorite) and sitting outside listening to my Top100 Spotify song playlist for 2022
December 2nd, 2022 at 7:55 PM ^
I'm thinking there's a song from Queen on that playlist, right?
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:03 PM ^
Saturday was the biggest game. This is all gravy and we are in the CFP even if we lose.
at a girls hoops game, on the wrong end of a miserable blow out. It happens.
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:25 PM ^
Drinking NorthCoast Old Rasputin and Manhattan Project half life and black matter. About to watch the usc kickoff with a fire going. Stout, sushi (dinner), football and fire… life is good. Just need a convincing win tomorrow night, and the Trojans to not allow OSU to back into the playoffs tonight.
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:48 PM ^
Caleb Williams is a problem
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:50 PM ^
Yeah… I want no part of Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley with a month to prepare. Let Georgia play them in the first round.
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:00 PM ^
Just took the drive from NJ to MA to get a couple cases of Tree House. Just had some Julius and Queen Machine OG. Watching the PAC-12 Championship.
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:01 PM ^
Blissfully boring night after a gonzo crazy week getting repairs and upgrades done on home. Nap, eat boring meal, alcohol free, prepared well by the loving bride, watch Trojans outlast Utes in what will not be a defensive masterpiece (/s).
Do something productive tomorrow, maybe. Then. Watch us get to 13-0 and Coach wear Gatorade again.
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:04 PM ^
Greek salad with grilled chicken washed down with a couple of cool PBR's.
Go Blue!
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:36 PM ^
Fricanos and a Diet Coke
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:36 PM ^
I've got Henry McKenna Single Barrel in my glass tonight. Will smoke some ribs for the family tomorrow and some wings for a couple buddies coming over to watch the game. Go Blue!
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:58 PM ^
Nice pour my fellow West Michigander 🥃👍
Hope you and the family are doing well!!
Enjoy those ribs and wings😋
Go Blue 🏈🏈🏈

Tuna melt with extra sharp cheddar for dinner.
Drinking a Stroh's at the moment. I am blessed. Holiday craziness starts next weekend.
December 3rd, 2022 at 12:20 AM ^
Everyone knows that American cheese is the best for any melt
