For gold Wax straight from the Barrel:

Still Proof: 70% Alcohol by Volume - 140 proof
Entry Proof: 62.5% Alcohol by Volume - 125 proof
Bottle proof is same as Entry proof

Exactly, The Single Barrel is diluted down to 93 proof after aging. The SFTB is at whatever proof it comes out of the barrel. While the entry proof is 125 that does not mean it will come out exactly that proof. The bottle pictured on the first post is at 133.7 proof. Still considered "Same As Entry" because nothing was done to it as it left the barrel.

Couldn't you just use the tears of a baby instead?

That is assuming of course that most babies are virgins (I hope).

*cough* Kentucky.....

Any cigar aficionados?

I wouldn't have thought to post this on the TD Forums but since there's a thread about rare bourbon… I figured I'd see if there were any cigar collectors.

Anyway I recently became a proud father and consequently received some high quality cigars as a gift. I have more cigars than any new parents has opportunity to enjoy. Since I'm thinking of taking the opportunity to enjoy one or two while down in Indy, I thought I'd see if there were any cigar aficionados interested in taking one or two off my hands. Maybe a token trade??


Anyway pm me if you are interested.

Actually they are made of the tears of Angles who have tasted their share of the Bourbon

Yeah. It's Kentucky. Not South Africa (where virgin cleansing myths has actually resulted in the unfortunate rape of infants).

Swearing is okay if it's in a broadway music. If you pay $300 dollars a ticket, that makes it culture. If some crackhead is screaming it in the streets, then it's obscene.

And a recording of either will put your butt in a sling if you blast it out in your cubicle.

Book of Mormon is clearly not what you want to play at work. However I find one of the "leading" characters being a real guy is even more disturbing

His real name is Joshua Milton Blahyi. But this Liberian mass murderer became famous using the name “General Butt Naked.”
Don’t laugh, because there is nothing funny about this man’s past. Blahyi is a uniquely monstrous war criminal.
By his own admission, General Butt Naked was responsible for the deaths of “no fewer” than 20,000 people during the First Liberian Civil War in the early 1990s. And they weren’t clean deaths.
Blahyi was a cannibal who practiced human sacrifice on infants to earn himself protection during battle. He recruited child soldiers, made them hack other people to pieces and ate the live hearts of his enemies. Spiegel Online reports his soldiers used to bet on whether a pregnant woman was carrying a boy or a girl before slitting open her belly to see who was right.
Blahyi earned that falsely comical nickname, General Butt Naked, for his favored practice of running into battle wearing sneakers and nothing else. He thought it made him invincible.
Now Blahyi is a priest who believes he’ll go to heaven.
He has never been punished for his crimes, because the International Criminal Court was founded in 2002 and has no jurisdiction over atrocities that occurred before then.
He has spent years visiting the victims of his former life, begging for “complete forgiveness.”
Nineteen people have granted his wish so far. Blahyi has also built a mission for former child soldiers, who he feeds and clothes.
The strangest thing about this transition from monster to clergyman is that it appears to be completely genuine. Spiegel Online has explored Blahyi’s new life, and if any of it is fraudulent, no one can tell.
When he was called before Liberia’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2008 to explain his crimes, Blahyi was honest. He made no attempt to dodge blame in the manner of so many other war criminals.
Why?
“For my faith. I was told that I should tell the truth, and the truth will set me free,” Blahyi told the commission. He has carried that attitude through to the present day.
“I believe that God wishes to use me as a sign. No matter how far a person goes, he has the potential to change,” Blahyi says.
He sees himself as a symbol of both incomprehensible evil and seemingly impossible redemption.

It seems kinda inefficient to switch to a new system when you had already racked up so many points for the other one. It's like Michael Jordan's ill-fated baseball career. If I was him, I'd sign up for one of those religions which believe that anyone you kill becomes your slave in the afterlife. I mean, sure, it might all be bupkis in the end and Quetzalcoatl won't be waiting for you with your 20,000 slaves but you should at least maneuver for the chance to win big.
