Rye and water is a fine drink with some ice.

Then I forget what happened and wake up with new injuries and all my friends hate me???  but not sure it's related.

Rye is pretty harsh in general to drink straight up. It's not exactly the expensive scotches or something we're talking about. 

totally agree... i'm a spirits guy and rye still makes me cringe when I drink it without mix.  doesn't matter if its shots or sips.. its always cringe-worthy.   I don't gag like some do or retch... but definitely feel it.

The better rye is easy to drink straight, if you sip it and don't shoot it.  Give Wiser Legacy a try.

Northern Harvest is more of a scotch than a rye, so slightly easier to drink straight up than regular rye.... Definitely a sipping drink, and nothing wrong with adding a bit of water to tone it down a bit.

My favourite is Canadian Club Chairman's Select (100% Rye).  I can't imagine not drinking it straight.

Straight rye, with a bit of water is how I drink the stuff.

Like it that way for some reason.

3 feathers is my brand. (have not seen  that since the sixties)

That's a good one, Forty Creek Copper Pot is also decent but my favourite is Wisers Lot 40 which is just as good as Scotch at half the price.

Forty Creek Water splash of Pepsi for colour

Any word on the crowd for tonight? Usually if its good, Darren Cameron trumpets it on Twitter, but I've heard nothing so far.

Usually takes some prodding of Darren Cameron on twitter.   Sorry, I've been distracted from the game at work    :/ 

 

 

 

Lapo was tweeting about wanting to see a decent walk up crowd tonight, so I'm thinking numbers are low due to the weather....

I feel like they haven't pushed this game very much.  They had two weeks to sell it, coming off a huge Banjo Bowl win, for a Friday night game.  But the hype hasn't really been there.  Hoping for a decent crowd.  28k would be nice.

In this weather, north of 25k has to be considered a win....

From Lindley's wiki page:     Lindley threw his first career touchdown pass to Michael Floyd, ending an NFL record 228 pass attempts without a touchdown to start his career

 

Hopefully Lindley won't get any TD passes tonite...

I'm looking for a good sized Bomber win.  40 to 17.
