I'm going to Houston in a 3 weeks and I plan to stock up on a lot of beers I can't get here. I've heard certain specs have a lot bigger selection than others. Is there a certain Specs that anyone recommends?...

I'm planning to have a bourbon tasting with a few friends. So far I have Bookers, Eagle Rare 10, Elmer T Lee, Wild Turkey Rare Breed, and 1792. Anything else you guys would recommend? I'm not looking for suggestions like pappy and Stagg or anything else damn near impossible to find. Also, any ideas...

I've always considered myself somewhat of a space nerd. Whenever I come across a show like The Universe on tv, I always end up watching it. Well, I recently decided that I want to buy a telescope just to play around with at home. Before anyone asks, no, I don't think I'm going to discover anything. ...

| Where is the best bourbon selection near New Orleans? - TheDude on 4/8/12 at 12:08 am
I decided today to go out in search of a good bourbon. I've had most of the easy to find ones like knob creek, blantons, makers, basil Hayden, Elijah Craig 18, and I regularly keep Bookers at home. I really want to take a step up in quality though. Looking for either pappy van winkle 20, or the Jeff...

I've always really enjoyed watching the world cup. I also use to play for a few years when I was younger. I'd like to watch the sport more often but I just have a hard time caring about games that don't involve the mens NT. Living in south Louisiana, I have no reason to pull for any club teams. ...

I'm looking to get a new camera. I want a good one but don't need a SLR. Am I correct in saying that the difference between 10 and 12 mega-pixels doesn't really matter unless I'm trying to make a poster? And what is your opinion of this camera and price?
