im sad to say it has been given several other chances. mixed or shot, it always ends in vomit for me. like i said, i cant even smell the stuff without getting queasy. scotch, bourbon, vodka, tequila, gin, and beer, all goes before the jager for me.
PL: Everybody has one of those.

Had a bad first experience with Jager. half and half root beer and jager all night. my first drunk. the only time ive seen two colors of vomit in the same night(black and orange, separately). the thought of the smell of Jager turns my stomach. I’d rather drink that 89.9% ABV Absinthe they serve in Dubai than Jager.
PL: That’s a disgusting mix. Disgusting enough that I’m not sure you can blame the Jager. Also, the first drunk is the worst, like the first time five times you get laid. I say give it another chance.

;Canadian Whiskey:
I am in fact Canadian and I have no clue to whether Texas has mickey’s. To explain what I meant by a texas mickey; well urbandictionary.com does it best.
“Canadian term for mythical – to outsiders anyway – 3 litre (101 oz) glass liquor bottle available at liquor stores in Canada. Contains vodka, rum, or best of all, Canadian rye whiskey. The comically oversized nature of a texas mickey makes it a perfect party showpiece, which is more or less the main reason such bottles exist. for an equal amount of money, more alcohol could be had by buying two 60 oz bottles, but that wouldn’t be half as awesome, would it? Pouring from a texas mickey is not very practical so the bottle is usually supplied with a small pump to go on top. Nobody throws out a texas mickey after they’re done with it – it goes on display for at least a little while so that when you hold your next party, you can point at it and say “last week we drained that thing in a night, eh?” Also, there are no texas mickeys in Texas…despite the name, the origin of the term is 100% Canadian.”

A couple of good bourbons that I haven’t seen you mention are Eagle Rare 10 Year and Elijah Craig. Both are reasonably priced, as well.
I haven’t tried Woodford, yet. That one will be next.
PL: I like Eagle, but Elijah Craig has never been a favorite. It does, however, have a cult following. I have known many people who swore by it.

C’mon, where’s our music post? It’s fucking hot out and I want some new music with my Anchor Steam

OK, OK I used to resemble the Plaintiff’s lawyer crack. Now, as a Divorce Lawyer, the hacks that practice domestic relations only part-time are worse. (nothing like carving families up into their constituent parts…)
At one point I was sure you went to Hopkins undergrad b/c you come off similar to someone I knew there, maybe not.
Any thoughts on a top 5 (relatively cheap) Bourbon/Whiskey List?
PL: Informally… 1. Woodford Reserve 2. Basil Haydens 3. Blanton’s 4. Turkey 101 5. Bakers
2 and 3 can switch spaces depending on my mood.

The scripts I found online listed the quote the way you have it at the top, but the actual line in the movie is different.
I couldn’t find the clip on youtube, but the site in my url has a sound file of what he actually says.
PL: There’s another quote in here opening another story where the written words don’t match the actual words of the speaker. I guess I could put an asterisk next to it, but then… why?

I resent all the complaining about Plaintiff’s attorneys. I’m one myself (for most part0 and can say that I have similar complaints about defense attorneys. Other than that great piece. Glad my firm isn’t blocking your site, yet.
PL: Go through the rest of the site. If anything, I’ve been exceedingly harsh on the defense side, with very little criticism of plaintiffs’ lawyers. I try to be fair in that regard. Both sides have many decent people on them. Both sides are also chock full of assholes.
Is this site really blocked that much? I’ve heard it was blocked at some larger firms, but I figured it was just a general “Nat Nanny” type of thing. It’s not being specifically blocked because of it’s content, is it? I mean, for God’s sake. It’s not like I’m not writing something revelatory here.

Excellent read. My only critique would be that you got the Dumb and Dumber quote wrong.
PL: Pulled straight from the script.

Fear… You didn’t include Fear on your list, although I think that by adding Black Flag, you implicity are telling people to enjoy Fear… Hell, can you think of a more appropriate band for the social climate of 2008? “Everything is so dangerous that nothing is really very frightening.” I’ve been locked in a lover’s embrace with Fear (the band and the idealogy) going on nine years now…
My mind boggles everytime I try to understand why people (meaning the general population of this prison that we call Modern Society) have such a hang up about Jaegermeister… Coupled with Red Bull, Jaegermeister becomes a drink of the gods… Something Thor might have for breakfast. But it is so widley and completely reviled in upper middle class America… I don’t get it.
A good friend of mine once said “Rosie, people do blow so that for 20 minutes they can feel like you do all day, every day…” I’ll let ya’ll in on a little secret, (wispering now) Red-bull and jaegermeister for breakfast. See you on the rainbow bridge! PIZZA! PIZZA!
PL: Licorice and lemonade… two great tastes that work like Epicac together. By the way, do some reading on the history of Jager. Hermann Goring’s favorite cocktail? Developed as a “digestif” (anti-constipation syrup). It must be true… I read it on Wekipedia (more sources than Wikipedia, less vetting). Sort of like “Malk, Now with Vitamin R.”
I put Fear on the list. How couldn’t I? Has there been a better movie than “Neighbors”? Maybe “1941″?
