Too late...I bought some brandy instead. I wanted something sweet and I can count on brandy.

I've never tasted brandy, is it good?

I like a little brandy now and then. When I was a kid, when we went deer hunting on cold winter days, my dad would give is a teeny bottle cap full of brandy. It would warm our insides, but was not enough to do more than that. I have fond memories of that small sip of brandy before the hunt.

It is. It's not something I'd normally grab for when I want to enjoy a spirit but I do enjoy a drink now and then. It's like a wine but stronger, similar to a whiskey almost? I'm not sure how to describe it. I fill a snifter with ice and then pour some brandy over it and allow it to melt the ice some. It's a really sweet drink so it's nice after a meal or if you just enjoy sweets.

Had some Bass Ale this week and bought a 40 oz. of Wild Turkey and a 40 oz. of Jim Beam.

What'cha drinkin?

Bought a sixer of Bear Republic's Red Rocket Ale. Waiting for it to get cold.

If it's true ale don't let it get too cold. It'll dull the malty overtones... The Bass ale was amazing. I haven't found it in my area yet, I bought it in Ohio.

Maybe I've never had "the good stuff" but it tastes like vomit to me.

 

[JM]

I've only tasted my own vomit...it tastes nothing like brandy... lol

Ooo... or maybe you just like that taste. Hahaha.

 

[JM]

I'll take your word for it.

Can't blame them. Those suckers are big and scary!

I peed in the water that they make Wild Turkey from. I made sure it was upstream from the distillery too.

 

[JM]

There's enough alcohol in it to kill ANYTHING...I'm not too worried. And don't forget I've drank brandy before, remember.

Moving on...

Who is the best boxer/fighter of all time? (Let's keep the discussion to boxing for right now.)

I've enjoyed watching the destructive power of Mike Tyson but also enjoy the ring generalship of Gene Tunney. Let's not forget Harry Greb the human "windmill."

In my humble opinion I think Manny Pacquiao is probably one of the greatest fighters of all time. At least one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters.

I would never put Tyson on a list of the greatest of all time. He had a couple of years on a good run back in the nineties. All that power worked good for a while but power alone will only hold up for so long. Particularly when you are getting older . I never considered Tyson a very skilled fighter.

Who do you think is among the greatest managers of all time?

On a side note -I am really hoping that Pacquiao and Mayweather can work it out so that they will fight this fall. Not because I think it will be a close fight - but because I'm going to enjoy watching Mayweather get destroyed...

Yah, he's on my list as well.

I would disagree about Tyson, he was good when Cus was alive but after that, it was all down hill. He stopped training in peek-a-boo style and turned into a slugger. When he had good trainers and handlers he was just amazing to watch. Check out the vid below, you'll see what I mean.

It's the same story with Rocky Marciano. When a fighter keeps coming forward, moving his head, using arms to block, etc. they often come off looking like a slugger. Both Tyson and Marciano were good boxers with odd styles and wonderful to watch.

Could I vote for Cus D'Amato? He had to heavy weight champs in Patterson and Tyson.

At this point I don't care if it ever happens. Mayweather asked for the blood tests and Pacman finally said yes, then Mayweather said he wanted more...I don't care to watch Mayweather anymore. Send him back to WWE.
