Gotta say, Indiana doesn't look quite as terrifying as they did three weeks ago.

Nebraska rushed the court after beating them....

I'm not sure.
I don’t think so. Although they were a top-15 team.

There were a whole lot of people cheering and a few people in full freak out mode, but nobody rushed the court.

weird to think of myself as a glass half full person
Because I’m usually a pretty bitter human being. But when it comes to Iowa sports, I prefer to think of things like ‘The Catch’ or Daniel Murray kicking Penn State into submission, or the 8 play goal line stand over my alma mater (little bittersweet there). I guess what I’m trying to say is, there’s lots to live for guys. Back away from the ledge.

It's not possible
without adding something like benzene. Which is toxic. 95% EtOH:5% water is an azeotrope; the boiling point of 95% EtOH is essentially the same as 100% EtOH, so you can’t boil off anymore. So the most you could get to is 95% without adding poison. You could drink that, but it wouldn’t taste very good.
That said, I’ve got a bottle of Popcorn Sutton’s moonshine sitting on my desk and it is delicious.

Popcorn Sutton
Moonshiners was a pretty good show. I thought Tickle was hilarious.
Sure Lisa, some magical animal.
I didn't know there was a show
Got it as a gift. I guess Popcorn killed himself rather than go to jail for making moonshine.
by Ratface McDougal on Jan 18, 2012 9:01 PM CST up reply actions
That's correct
Popcorn did kill himself rather than go to jail. Moonshiners was on discovery or some channel like that. The series just ended a week ago or so. It was interesting. They had footage of Popcorn. He seemed like quite a character. How is the ‘shine? I’ve never had moonshine before. Legal or not. I always assumed it didn’t taste like much, except burning.
Sure Lisa, some magical animal.
It's really quite good
It smells like buttered popcorn, which is kind of weird. Perfectly clear. It’s only about 40% alcohol, so the alcohol burn is similar to bourbon or rye. It’s straight cornmash. It tastes a little sweet, but there’s of course none of the flavors you would get from aging in oak. Quite smooth, smoother even than Maker’s or Knob Creek. I can’t drink a ton of it at once, but as a change of pace it’s quite nice.
But every time I pour a glass, I still expect it to hurt. It just looks like it should.
by Ratface McDougal on Jan 18, 2012 9:11 PM CST up reply actions
Thanks
I think I’ll give it a try. After my current bottles of Templeton and ‘94 Glenrothes. Sounds good. I’m surprised at the proof. I just assumed it would be proofed in the 160-190 range. Check out the show if you can. It’s entertaining to say the least.
Sure Lisa, some magical animal.
It's basically like bourbon without the barrel aging
I am required to love Templeton, and I do. How is the Glenrothes? I haven’t gotten into Scotch. Unlike bourbon, here are so many different flavors, and I just can’t drop $XX for a bottle I might hate. I’ll order a glass when I go out, but I can never remember what it was. I know I don’t care for the peaty ones, though.
by Ratface McDougal on Jan 18, 2012 9:21 PM CST up reply actions
Glenrothes is fantastic
I don’t like peaty scotch either. The ‘91 Glenrothes is better, but I can’t find it anymore. Don’t bother with the special reserve, or just get JW. I know what you mean about plopping money down for something you won’t like. I’d bet you’d like Glenrothes if you don’t like peaty scotch.
Sure Lisa, some magical animal.
I had a bottle of Buffalo Trace white rye a few weeks ago
It’s straight off the still, 160 proof if I remember correctly. It was really good, but very strong. Really warmed you up.
by TwistConePlease on Jan 18, 2012 9:20 PM CST up reply actions
Hahaha!
I watch call of the Wildman with my kids, and he(the Turtle Man) caught some opossums in the Buffalo Trace distillery. It was funny. Apparently I must watch too much TV though. Is it smooth or harsh? Sounds interesting.
Sure Lisa, some magical animal.
It's pretty smooth for how strong it is
and, apparently, for the potential turtle additives. I enjoyed drinking it, but I can’t drink as much of it as any Bourbon, or other Rye. Part of that is the alcohol %, but also because of the flavor. For me it was great for sipping, but not for more than 1 or 2 refills.

Actually
My biggest problem is that I have so many freaking quest items that I can’t drop or sell, even when I try, so I’m always close to overencumbered .
And Lydia died when I was like level 3. I always get annoyed with companions anyway, so I haven’t bothered to find someone to take her place.

The guys are right, though. Once you have a house, carrying weight is a non-issue. The only problem I have with my house is that I can’t activate my weapon rack so I have to store the weapons in chests, which isn’t as cool.

He played one year, and was bruised up and sore as hell after every game. I think he’s glad he went out and did it for a year, but I don’t think he’s planning on going back any time soon.

He was a DE, which is about as nasty as it gets.
Also, the Cedar Valley Vikings were by far and away the worst team in the league when he played (probably 5 years ago). I believe a few of the teams in the league had players who actually did get paid to play and were true “semi-pros”. Kane County was one of those teams, and he got knocked out in that game.

Fareway in Bettendorf had 3 cases of the newest batch at one point.

It blew my mind last time I went into the Fareway on the SE end of Iowa City
Top shelf booze, and good prices too! I used to shop there a lot more often and only remembered a few cases of beer (mostly the big domestics, but a few sort-of-craft brews) and bottles of wine. Alas, no TR that time.

I've found it at Hy-Vee, Kum & Go, Fareway and Target
Still got a third of a bottle at home. Batch 4. Good luck with your search!
