Theres an old non defunct podcast that did a big liquor thing once. People from all over sent them booze to drink and they drank it all and got very drunk.
When they got to Malort they said "Theres a pirate ship on this bottle? But its from Chicago? What kind of Pirate gets so lost they end up in Chicago?"
After drinking Malort they said "I understand how those pirates ran aground in the great lakes now"

Malort is great
There's a bar near my work that does what they call the Corpse Reviver #312, that is essentially the same as a #2 but with a splash of Malort added alongside the absinthe

A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity, as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palette, but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.
'Black stump Bordeaux' is rightly praised as a peppermint flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good 'Sydney Syrup' can rank with any of the world's best sugary wines.
'Chateau Bleu', too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.
'Old Smokey, 1968' has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian wino society thouroughly recommends a 1970 'Coq du Rod Laver', which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles of this, and you're really finished -- at the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.
Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is 'Perth Pink'. This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!. This is not a wine for drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.
Another good fighting wine is 'Melbourne Old-and-Yellow', which is particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.
Quite the reverse is true of 'Chateau Chunder', which is an Appalachian controle, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation -- a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.
Real emetic fans will also go for a 'Hobart Muddy', and a prize winning 'Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga', which has a bouquet like an australian armpit.
That story could only be improved if you had gotten shitfaced on mead instead.
Alas, I drank all my mead a few days prior with a friend of mine who was leaving the state. And I had like, a bunch of barlywine that I needed to drink.
Seriously, I've got like, 40 bottles of barelywine.
I don't know if this is a typo or autocorrect, but I love this formulation. I, too, have drunk many things that are barely wine.
Nightrain is barelywine. Hell, it is barelydrinkable.
Fuck me, that was a typo. I went through a really big Barleywine phase a few years ago and acquired way more than I can justifiably drink by myself. I've been whittling things away over the past six months, most of it barrel aged. Red Wine. Bourbon, Rum, Oak, even a few blends. Tasty stuff!
Also, I forgot to post this last night as I became preoccupied with finding my wallet that I thought it'd lost. But Satan came to visit me again!
Imgur is being shitty and I'm not at home right now, but I got a copy of The Clone Wars Omnibus Vol.1. I love Star Wars comics, and The Clone Wars are fuckin amazing. Thank you so much Satan!

I sent my gift a week ago by USPS and paid for three day shipping but the tracking has been stuck on "ACCEPTED" since monday which I think means accepted by USPS?
Another package has arrived! Well, I guess it arrived over a week ago but I hadn't visited my shipping address in about two weeks so Satan caught me off guard with the double dunk of gifting!
But before that, a note on my previous gift. I was going to post images of my gifts (a twelve beer gift set from Tavour) as I opened them but I realized that not everyone needs or wants to see 12 bottles of beer. Having said that, I did in fact take a picture of each bottle (or can in one case) as I enjoyed them after each day. Presented now, under a giant spoiler so you don't have to see booze unless you want to, are the twelve days of Beermas starting on December 14th and ending on Christmas Day:
The first brew was a heavily spiced brown ale that help me get into the season.
Next was my first beverage from Spain! Interestingly it was refered to as a "malt beverage" and did not appear to be carbonated. The flavor profile reminded me of a brew I've had before though...
The Duchesse De Bourgogne is a sour red ale that I've had many times before, but the chocolate variation is absolutely amazing! My local wine cellar stocks this as well and I'll be sure to pick some up in the future to share. Highly recommended.
Haha. I went to Pizza Port the day before opening this beer, so I got a chuckle out enjoying another Port Brewing creation so soon. The label isn't quite what I remember...
Unusual name. Good beer.
I only heard of the gose style about three years ago. I love sour beer, but the salt content throws me off a bit. The cardamom was front a center in this one.
Prairie's BOMB! was what the Evil Twin beverage reminded me of, but I hadn't had this holiday spiced variant. Honestly the holiday spice gets a bit lost in the Ancho Chile, but it's still a very good beer.
(At this point I get tired of taking pictures on my table and decide to vary it up a bit.)
This is the one I remember! Even better than the previous version.
Ho ho ho! Drinking a 22oz bottle of barleywine will get you kinda drunk! Probably should have saved and shared this one...
Kinda similar to the first beer out of the box, but not as aggressively spiced.
Pictures do this beer no justice. It is DEEP purple. And yummy!
I brought the last box over to my parent's place to share. The family that drinks together, uh... drinks together? Political arguments are still a thing but at least my dad and I can talk beer.
As for today's bounty, well, no spoiler tags could contain this.
A package! The shipping label on the on the other side refers to the shipper as "PupSocks" so I prepared myself for some cute socks with little dog faces on them. But instead:
KAZAAM! Shaq Attack! It's like Shaq-Fu for my feet! I said that I needed to step up my sock game from the old black dress socks, but I'm not sure they're ready for me now! Thanks Satan, you magnificent gifter!
Glad it made it to you! How are the socks? They looked a lot comfier than the usual silly socks. Also there will be another package on the way. Instead of sending it out on Friday I had go to the vet with my cat. She'll be okay, but it took so much longer than I thought it would.

The socks are quite comfy! I have always been a fan of silly socks so I am glad to have them to add to the drawer. Sorry to hear about your cat! I hope she recovers quickly!

SHUT the FRONT DOOR you guys
I was told I would receive a FLAT PACKAGE and I DID! Which timing-wise worked out perfectly because I'm leaving town for a work trip to China tomorrow.
Coaster for my privacy's protection!
Inside was one of Nic's amazing Christmas cards! I have three of these now and I put them up in my apartment every holiday season. I actually thought at first that this was the flat pack gift and it would have been enough.
BUT THAT WASN'T ALL.
Nic made me a fucking artwork of a vintage cheese wrapper featuring my fucking dog
so now I'm dead
I was genuinely like tearing up and also laughing hysterically when I saw it, it is the perfect combination of thoughtful and completely absurd.
Nic, you're the best. I will put up a new picture when I frame it and hang it in my kitchen.

Today was weird, Bodhi heard a car at the front. Like a small hatchback car. With the engine running. And when I did a sneaky peak out the door, no one was there. So I did the only sensible thing and locked all of my other doors. Turns out it was a courier who probably just went to the other house first, until they got the right place, and they gave me a box!
Thanks for the presents mystery (presumed) human! I've been wanting these two books for a while so much that I got these maybe an hour ago and didn't post anything because I was too busy paging through them. Thanks a lot and I look forward to part two!
I'm finally back in the US and I have a Sancrut Saiyan update!
I got home last night to a BIG EXCITING BOX
but i was so jetlagged that after bringing it upstairs I went to do something and completely forgot it was there. So it didn't get opened ... until today ...
Here is the pictorial essay of my box investigation
the inscrutable East??
Very Lewis Carroll. Ok, envelope, we'll get to you. But other things are also emerging from the cardboardy depths ...
Inside the (beautiful!) wrapping ...
holy shit!
holy shit!!!

Two AMAZING knives, hilarious crockery, and a stellar whisky? Who on earth could be this generous???!?
Awww! Thanks, @godmode ! This is a sincerely fantastic set of gifts, I'm blown away!

It's either from Satan or some comics, so either way I win. We'll find out tonight
Cat spoons!
They hold on to your mug with their little paws so you can drink without a spoon in your face!
There wasn't a note so I'm not exactly sure if they came from Satan, but if they did then thank you!
I've already sent him a PM with tracking info
I sent my gift a week ago by USPS and paid for three day shipping but the tracking has been stuck on "ACCEPTED" since monday which I think means accepted by USPS?

ANYWAYS WHAT SHOULD SURPRISE ME WHILE I AM WORKING THIS WEEKEND?!
Why it's a box from the great white North!
We quickly tear into it:
To find:
Some enticing locally roasted coffee
Local dog treats!
A very cool handmade outlet lamp!
And most of all socks!
Thanks #pipe!
