Why are people from Wisconsin so God damn weird?

Illustrious Potentate said:
Every year here at work, we draw names and do a bit of an alcohol exchange. It’s not some big secret or anything, I asked the guy I drew what he wanted, and he said Tito’s vodka, so I got him a fifth

The guy who drew me is from Wisconsin, didn’t ask me what I wanted, but his father in law is my mentor and a guy I look up to, so he’s partied with me before, and though I don’t expect a jug of shine, I would have gladly taken some Canadian Club, Jim, Jack, Evan, Makers Mark or any hard liquor.

But this fucker got me something called mead. I don’t even know what the fuck mead is, and I’m never gonna drink, but I have to say thank you and pretend like I love it.

This is the same dude that wouldn’t take my 100 dollars a run bet for the Braves and Brewers in the NLDS

My guess is whomever drew you is a big renaissance festival attending fruit.

Chewy- better check the sediment and make sure it’s not bits of ground beef.

there have been meaderies popping up all over the place lately...I don't get the appeal.

It's decent if mixing, but also has a massive cult following among the bourbon bro's. Mellow Corn, OGD80, and Evan William BiB are quick ways to divide a room :pound:

Like all other hipster stuff, there is no understanding it.

If you are talking about stage performance you have to type it as theatre, it's the gay, I mean only way

it's just taste. Someone is drinking it.

again, I wouldn't buy it for someone else without knowing it is something they like.

like I won't bring IPAs to a friend's house if they only drink Coors Light.

know your audience.

Gifts like that are for one reason..."look how cultured I am, I know about this and pretend it is good".

I guess there is a whole "I really like this stuff and I want to share it with you" kind of thing behind it.

I don't see it as a flex though...it's trying to be influential, I suppose...

I have a client that gets me a bottle of some expensive scotch every year. I know some people really like it but I've never drank scotch in my damn life

again, a very acquired taste

the gift giver in this whole thing failed and the mentor is apparently an absolute shit mentor for Chewy if he doesn't even know what he drinks.
