Did this blogger just describe SB.com?

A snippet from the blog "Bourbon Empire" caught my eye. The following passage occurs after the blogger describes the Pappy phenomenon and the crazy prices the hype has brought:

"This isn’t a criticism of people who don’t know much about bourbon driving up prices, it’s an awareness campaign helping them not get suckered into paying too much for it. Bourbon drinkers watching the prices of their favorite brands increase should adopt a ribbon. Then they should form a secret society where they drink other excellent bourbons that haven’t been run through the hype machine yet and are still affordable. These include Elmer T. Lee, Old Grand 114, Buffalo Trace, and Wild Turkey Rare Breed."

Secret society? Do we have password and handshake?

Sounds ok, but I was hoping for big fur hats with horns like the Water Buffalo Lodge on the Flintstones.

500 post mark for the horned hat OD

There are varying circles of SB trust and one must be subjected to unspeakable acts of debauchery to pass into the inner circles/higher planes...

(That's for the L33t base-belongers though. The rest of us are just low-level whisky-zombie fodder)

Mine has apparently been delayed.

Or perhaps someone used UPS.

Has anyone mentioned the goat yet? Or does that not come into play until the next level?

I assumed that's what ChainWhip referred to when he mentioned, "unspeakable acts of debauchery." Still waiting for that part of the hazing process myself ... :shocked:

How did you know I store bourbon in a processed goat bladder. Solves all sorts of oxidation issues. : )

If you use an UN-processed goat bladder, you get a little more of that rye spice kick. Just sayin'

You guys can have the goats, I'm more into the full moon BBQ and virgin sacrifice. Well, they don't actually get sacrificed and they're not actually virgins but they put on a good act.

I don't know what forum you guys are talking about, but SB sends me a check at the end of every month. $1 for every post. :cool:

[Meruck]

The goats we use at the full moon BBQ are virgins...........does that count?

Lazer, why did you sign a contract for half price?

Need to know: are there "speakable acts of debauchery"?
