What Are You Tired of Hearing About?

1) IMO and IMHO. If it's your post, we know it's your opinion.

2) "It is what it is," or anything of that ilk. For instance, Nebraska noted in writing about Johnnie Walker Scotch "The red is the red."

How anyone ever came to the conclusion that this type of statement conveys any new or useful information is beyond me.

I will admit I have been brain rapped with more history than I ever wanted to know, but it has been great when I walk into a rundown liquor store and I can pick up some Old Fitzgerald Bond and Prime, Early Times, ER, Old Taylor, Old Forester, pre fire HH, UD distilled Old Grand Dad, Virginia Gentleman and a few others and know about how good the juice is based on the Tax stamp, UPC code or lack there of and the Government warning or lack their of.

***Yo Spun Man alias Dumped = I was thinking in the same direction, with all the codified theoretical history jargon.... BUT - without it I wouldn't be falling over boxes and slamming my head into old and rusty liquor store shelves, trying to find another dusty - and I wouldn't have been accosted by bourbon crazed neophytes and history junkies on SB.Com either ;-)

What we need is a well-written "Bourbon Thesaurus" so it's time we gang up on Cowdery. So Chuck, put the pen to the paper my good brutha! Help us in the name of God fearing bourbon, guts and America! That is, before we all go cross-eyed from trying to read those damn UPC codes. BB

This initially undesired info helpd score me an 80s Old Taylor. My first old Taylor in the collection and it is super tasty at only 80 proof. I will be on the lookout for these in teh future.

Wow. That ain't something I've seen around... I'll have to go back and read your tasting notes again, I remember seeing them.

Democrats, Republicans, Christians and Muslims.

All the other religions and political parties don't post enough to get tired of.

Muslim posters........ on a website dedicated to bourbon?

I'm tired of the replies that are 8 MILES LONG. Say what you need to say in one or two SHORT paragraphs. If I have to scroll down to continue reading your post, it is too damn long.

LOL!!!! I agree with The Don!

LOL!!!! I agree with The Don!

Just make sure they are at least 16 characters long.

I disagree...without long, verbose answers we wouldn't have been able to enjoy the insightful musings of many of our most esteemed members.

Long replies don't make for "esteemed members" in my view.

I'm tired of TV and listening to "Dumb-Shit Media" destroying the mood and quality of life in this country. The billionaires in charge of this circus need a good kick in the ass! BB

Dusty finds and "ample bottles on shelves" of dead or discounted brands like WTRR 101 or ER10/101. Not in my State (controlled). If there are any dead brands on the shelves in your State my question is WHY? Buy them all unless you don't like the brand or bottling. I would love to try ER10-101 or sloped shoulder of IW Harper, OF BiB; etc, etc, etc. Every liquor store in my State sells the same Beam products, with only a couple of the better stores offering a wider selection, BT & HH brands. Only the current stuff is available.

I am tired of reading someones 1000th post about nothing and a link to it ...or what someone else reported on and a link to it...of coarse 9 out of 10 of them are OT or PRC. It's like having the news station on 24/7.

As far as whisky threads....they don't bother me at all. Keep em coming! I'll take a million bad whisky threads over one PRC thread.

Thank God for whisky!

The lack of an edit button on posts that I write. I like being able to fix a typo or clarify a thought.

I'm tired of hearing how bad off we are in this country. Sure we have economic challenges these days, but most of us on this site have people who care about us, jobs and an amazing variety of more bourbon than we can possibly drink. We are blessed!

Well put Joe! At least most of us here put our money into a true American product.

When someone asks why I spend so much on bourbon, I respond with that.

[CygnusX-1]

Beer, period. I'm not a beer drinker.

I hear that, this websites states 100% Bourbon oriented when you enter but the are tons of threads about other things

[tommyboy38]

Just about everything the voices in my head have to say!
