Thanks gordy. It's been a lot of hard work. Is that a reference to Pure Land in your sig?

Pure Land is a form of Buddhism that many believe was mixed with Nestorian Christian beliefs creating a "Buddha" who was also a redeemer. The Japanese have a few branches of Pure Land as well.

OSSU!

Yeah. The Nembutsu. I like mantras and chants. Nembutsu was one of my favourites over the years.

Still working on those books for you. The 'gatekeeper' is proving to be difficult. I'll report back soon.

Wish I found it as easy as you seem to...

Oh, it's not easy. It has been a lot of work.

I have a gatekeeper as well. I understand. lol

Any low cal beers on the shelf?

Not for me. My fridge is stock with Curs banquet beer; because this Fallen life is hard, cold beer makes it tolerable.

How does it differ from regular Coors?

Rugby World Cup is on this weekend so I might need to pick up some refreshments.

It's the full Coors beer. Not Coors Light. Like Budwieser to Bud Light. It's actually pretty tasty. Don't really drink much beer but the Banquet beer is definitely one of the better 'common' ones imo.

I’ve been considering the amount of calories in these drinks. If I want to catch a buzz and reduce calories I better stick to whiskey.

 

[gord44]

Yeah. Beer's calorie to buzz ratio isn't that good.

 

[JM]

Yeah. Beer's calorie to buzz ratio isn't that good.

Haha, I like that, "calorie to buzz ratio."

For example, Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum is 69 calories per 1 oz. I never drink just one oz. of anything but two doubles has be clocking in at 276. It takes me 4 to 5 Warka beers to get the same buzzy, sleepy, relaxed feeling. Warka is 245 per pint. That means I would be drinking 980 calories!!! I enjoy Warka but not that much, not 704 more calories more.

I do recommend Warka though. It's good and inexpensive.

I usually do the 2 doubles as well. Well done!

Stocked up on a 12 pack of Tecate.

I like that too. You brothers have the right idea! hard liquor gets the job done faster.

Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum and a wee pinch of Trout Stream in my corn cob pipe tonight. The last bottle I bought had a nice, heavy weight shot glass with it. I'll post a pic of the set up tonight.

Peace.

 

[gord44]

Please do post a pic. Neoooow!

 

[JM]

I'm at work right now but will post when the day is done.

Picked up a bottle of this today....

It was named 'Whiskey of the Year' by world renowned whiskey writer Jim Murray. He called it a 'masterpiece'.

Since then retailers have had a hard time keeping it on the shelf. It's sold out all over the place. I found a liquor store near my office that had 6 left. They only allowed 2 per person. Is it all hype? I guess I will find out when I get home!!

Ahrg, Everyone is drinking that except me!

Enjoying some Lagunitas Brown Shugga beer.
