Need to make a Jack bottle with a Spurs label, I do.

bad taste

i understand the concept of familiar branding…

but c’mon jim beam and jack daniels?

jim beam is laker quality at best!

at least try to associate the Spurs with Booker’s or Baker’s bourbon for top shelf recognition.

by erp2 on Feb 16, 2011 4:17 AM CST reply actions

Booker's is the damaja

that’s the highest proof bourbon, Booker’s, Man I love that stuff, but it makes me go on raaaaaammmmmppppaggggges.

it should be a Booker’s bottle. absolutely.

high quality, high proof.

Teetotaler Alert

Well, this is what you get for having a non-drinker like me in charge of the site.

transgojobot did such an excellent job on the image that I don’t know that I want to ask him do it all over again in order to have it on a different bottle, even if it IS the higest proof bourbon.

I mean, look at the attention to detail. He included the Alamo, the four trophies, Pop’s signature, and the Manu percentage. He even replaced “Sour Mash” with “Four Down” – I mean, this thing looks great; otstanding even.

I didn’t even notice all of the excellent little details at first. He did a fantastic job, so Rec for that. You, on the other hand, earn a Nega-Rec for going an entire podcast without mentioning the Coach B videos, so in the end you get… nothing.

You can’t give nega-recs. The origin himself of a newly established social phenomenon can’t try to swing attention away from his original blunder by hoping on the bandwagon that he inadvertently formed; it’s just stupid.

Thinking that you can however, is nega-reccable.

SiMA, the days when you could tell me what I can and can’t do on PtR are long gone. But thanks for the nice little stroll down memory lane all the same.

Now, I’m doing another thing that “I can’t do.” I’m bringing back the subject field for those who can use it properly: FOR ACTUAL SUBJECTS.

Whatcha think about that?

I think the third fifth of the season has been (Borat voice) GREAT SUCCESS! We’re not just coming up with lucky wins and taking advantage, we’ve moved to the top of adjusted-efficiency rankings like SRS. We’re dominating, just not in a way that’s gonna get a lot of press.

i had to look up what the oxford comma was, as i’d never heard the expression. and it turns out in british english its a rarity to use it (i remember being taught explicitly NOT to put it there).
