Though whats up with it being in AUD but free shipping in the US? I figured I was going to be considered international.I think I can explain this, the creator is from Australia, so the project must be run in AUD, but the deck is printed and shipped from the US. ( Because the US has the best printers) So only backers outside the US pay extra shipping.
Sam can confirm this though.
What I meant when I said mixed drinks, is more like cheaper non scotchy drinks. I might give that a shot though.
If you want cheaper, there's always the Scotch they serve from the speed rack for "well drinks".
Other recipes to try:
Godfather: Scotch and vodka on the rocks.
Godmother: Godfather with milk/cream added, shaken.
If you decide to try whisky, Irish tends to be the smoothest. Bourbons have a perfume-y aftertaste, Scotch can be a little rough around the edges. Irish whiskey and Scotch are in essence the same - same ingredients, same distillation process - but the grain for Scotch is dried with peat fires as opposed to air-dried for Irish whiskey, and Scotch is double-distilled whereas Irish is triple-distilled. The best commonly-available brand would be Black Bush, the top-shelf version of Bushmills.
Little known facts: whisky is spelled without an "e" unless it's Irish - then it's spelled whiskey. It comes from the Gaelic phrase "uiske beatha," meaning "water of life." It's kind of funny, because throughout Dublin the manhole covers connected to the water supply are marked uiske!
Over here you're likely to meet much disagreement making even slight comparisons between irish and scotch whisky!
In my opinion the only 'proper' whisky is single malt scotch. But I can't drink it often as it gives me chronic heartburn
If you like stouts, those ales I mentioned are right up your alley.
Also, see if you can find any lambic ales - they're made with fruits such as peach, raspberry, etc. They go down very easily.
And of course, you have to try the king of all stouts, Guinness! Best to get it on tap, but now they make the can and the bottle with "the gadget" - a device used to do something to the stout so that when you pour it out into a glass, it reacts in pretty much the same way as if you'd poured it from the tap. It really only works when poured, so never drink Guinness in the container it came in.
BTW: if you find any porter as well - it's just another name for stout! The name came into being because it was the favorite beverage of the Irish porters working in England.
Yea since the night of getting wasted I have learned moderation, lol. And the corana did have lime. My friend really likes them, I dont. I do prefer mixed drinks. Rum and orange juice is good. Also screwdrivers.Try a screwdriver with a splash of ginger ale in it. Totally kills the taste of the vodka.
I completely disagree with Fes.
I've never had a project deliver late.
Every project I have funded came through.
Everyone knows what they are doing.
Do you think KS would let a bunch of dummies start projects?
Some pretty cool hobbies you guys have.
Mine aren't too exciting really. I play poker, buy and sell gemstones, paint, read with my girl, cooking. I've been trying to treat spending time with my girl friend and her friends as a hobby so I do it more often. They're a lot of fun and since they're all broke actually do a lot of board gaming, which I tend to fail at haha. Also been trying to dedicate more time to practicing my card control, so that's becoming more of a daily kind of hobby. It's something I've been enjoying quite a bit doing it this way, gives me a few minutes of quiet time throughout the day. I find a lot of pleasure in peace, so I tend to value those five to ten minute sessions enough to growl a little when I'm disturbed lol.
With the return of the NFL season, my sundays get chewed up a bit. So it limits some of the other activities I enjoy. Just not enough time for them. They have to wait again until spring.
Standard aluminum Porpers are hefty - I was enjoying my Eco Clips because despite the added bulk they weighed less (and covered the edges of the box for added tuck protection.
Those carbon fiber ones are more costly, but so much LIGHTER. You almost expect them to levitate the deck out of your pocket...
Again, don't forget the "What the hell is that?" factor. Don't let your spectators see your clips.
