Princesca had a phone interview with the controller at Wild Turkey today that went so well they immediately after scheduled an in-person for next week.  The job will pay better and it sounds like a good opportunity for her in that there's a lot less bullshit bureaucracy there but...

... I'd go from free Knob Creek to free Wild Turkey? :weep:

Trying to get as far as I can on Untappd for the Been Connoisseur badge.  I'm level 6 (meaning at least one beer from 30 different countries) and I think I can get to level 8.  Level 10 (50 countries) will probably take a while as I hit the easy ones long ago.

Found me an Icelandic beer-- Ölvisholt Lava.  Once I drink it it will bring me to 42 unique countries :punk:

My local mega liquor store supposedly stocks a Finnish beer according to their website but I can't find it.  They do have a Slovak beer I'll eventually buy, but it's only available in 6-packs and it's in green bottles so it'll be skunky.  I think they also have a Korean beer.

I once had a Lichtenstein beer - Lichtensteiner Brauhaus.  For some reason I kept the label in my wallet.   :showoff:

It was okay.

I'm definitely not at 42 different countries of beer though.  By my rough count... 18.

Firestone Union Jack this evening. I also got a whole loin and cut it into 15 really thick steaks. I just got the fire going.

Last night when I came home she was standing outside with the dog on a leash talking on the phone.  I figured she was talking to her mom or something so I rolled down the window to say hi to the dog and happened to have gangsta rap on the radio.

"...20 INCH BLADES ON THE IMPALA..."
"Hey little homie!"
"... CALL HER, GET LAID TONIGHT..."

Turns out she was on the phone with Wild Turkey's plant director. :Embarrass: :ph34r:
