Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013 - 2015 - Official Thread

[Noodle36]

MR. Megatron - have you tried Red Breast irish whiskey?  Stands up to most of them and won't break the bank.  I always make sure I have a bottle of Jameson in my liquor cabinet.  An Irish friend brought me back a bottle of Jameson Gold.  I also have a bottle of the Jameson 18yr old that is beautiful stuff.  Me likes the whiskey!!

I like to drink my alcohol neat so Dark Rum has not been my fave.  I also had a nasty episode with Bundy OP rum that started off great and ended terribly. 

[Megatron1505]

I have not, but I am looking for an interesting bottle for the weekend so I will check it out.

 

Dark rum has to be drank neat imo, Havana Club Sept Anios is king, in fact I'm gonna grab one right now.

[Megatron1505]

First part of my challenge entry......there will be more.

 

Football skills with Tommy near the bins at the back of a hotel in Gosport.

Red Breast is very good stuff...I'm partial to "The Irishman" cask strength myself.

I have these two on hand for the trip...a couple of favorites.

Oh, my brother in law is head whiskey and spirits buyer for a large high end store...they have over 250 single malts...open for sampling!

[k1d.]

damn i go MIA from sufu for nearly a year and this is what i miss out on. =[

[saintkeat]

Good morning there sunshine! Glad to have you back. Too late for the contest though I'm afraid.

[Max Power]

Not trying to derail the thread into booze talk, but the Red Breast is one of the best irish whiskeys. It was in fact on a trip to ireland where I became a fan of whisk(e)y, and Red Breast together with Midleton and Jameson 18 Years were my favorites and first bottles I bought. Still, IMO they don't stand the comparison to Scotch.

[McBain]

Yeah Max spread the word. I think that only the Bushmills 1608 does stand a chance to defeat Irelands Whikey-honor for a decent price.

But if the price was not an issue I would drink much more from Japanese distilleries. They are really extremly well balanced and like a piece of art. I had the Suntory Yamazaki 18 Years at a tasting once and really loved it.

 

These days I guess the countries where it was invented AND Japan are the hotspots for the enthusiasts, just like with denim. I wonder how many Denimheads are also Whiskyheads in the land of the rising sun.

The future of English football right there. Nice pics, Megatron.

[Megatron1505]

You're talking about Tommy right? I'm (slightly) past my prime these days 

[Kobe Beef]

Well, they say goalie's careers are slightly longer...

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Or just like I can say in my age only: I'll become a famous sportsman in my next life,....

Part 2 of my challenge......

 

Photo bombed by the boss !! 

 

 

Finally meeting up with my long term HWDC collaborator, and good friend James of OGL.

 

[saintkeat]

Not a Challenge pic nor a fit pic. This is just what I did on a cool Friday night. Busking with a local band The Tricks on a bridge in the clubbing part of town. We performed for over 2 hours, lubricating our throats with japanese beer, entertaining the increasing crowd that just sat around listening to us while drinking provision store booze.

Hi guys!

 

Yesterday I was out and about with my girl and our dogs, and we thought this was a good occasion for a couple of new pics and maybe also a submission for the current challenge, if you will. Here goes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You gotta watch your step on cow pastures, or you might end up with smelly feet…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That´s it for now, will try to come up with some new close-ups these days.

[Megatron1505]

I can already see that you are going to be tough to beat again this time Dingo 

[dingo]

Cheers Mega... In it to win it, right? :-D

HWDC2 UK Meet Up Interest Check

 

Near where I live in Nottingham an American burger chef has opened a burger bar in a pub called the Navigation, her burgers are allegedly so good that there is a three week wait to get a slot to eat one on a weekend. I must do this....

 

http://www.anniesburgershack.com/

 

I might do a UK HWDC meet up here is there was enough interest, I am thinking September 28th.

 

Let me know if you would be interested, burgers, beers, a night out.

If you ever make it to Detroit....let me know, I know a couple good places for burgers, where you'll wait 15 minutes, tops....

[Megatron1505]

Weirdly, I nearly got sent to Detroit with work a few months ago.

[saintkeat]

Dodge-d a bullet. Zing!

[Quoise1203]

Highvoltage, where in Detroit do you live?  I grew up in the Lansing area (Okemos to be exact) and it's nice to see another Michigander here.

[Slowitchu]

Dyed my jeans with some blueberry today

 

Need to find a friend who can take pictures! All I do is selfies.

[Highvoltage]

I grew up on the West side of the city, then Wixom, moved back downtown for school, and now I live in the Waterford/White lake are.(I also lived in E. Lansing for a short time. ) My job has me covering an area from just west of Lansing to Port Huron, and South to 8 mile.

I lived in Detroit till I was 15. I lived off 8 Mile on Gallagher between Ryan and Dequindre.

The we moved to Houston. I used to race BMX up in Lansing.
