On this day in 1494, a monk named John Cor was mentioned in first ever written reference to Scotch whisky. The Latin entry in the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland is translated as, “To Brother John Cor, by order of the King, to make aqua vitae VIII bolls of malt.” All Scotch whisky was originally made from malted barley, although commercial distilleries began introducing whisky made from wheat and rye in the late 18th century. Scotch whisky must be aged immediately after distillation in oak barrels for at least three years, and the minimum bottling strength according to existing regulations is 40% alcohol by volume. It’s divided into five distinct categories: single malt Scotch whisky, single grain Scotch whisky, blended malt Scotch whisky (formerly called “vatted malt” or “pure malt”), blended grain Scotch whisky, and blended Scotch whisky.

I can’t believe May is over already. Also, apparently it’s Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Day.

Apparently we have OTA’s both today and tomorrow, so hopefully our rookies will kick some ass.

Morning, gents. I just maaaaaay have slept in today.

“In a way, all of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Santa Poco can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be the actual El Guapo.” – Lucky Day (Steve Martin), ¡Three Amigos!

Well, today is the last day of school for our kids. My fiancée and I also have a three-day kid-free weekend coming up, and I’m gonna take her to see The Little Mermaid. Why? Because it’ll make her happy, and that’s how I roll, mofos.

Well, apparently today is National Mike Day. So to anyone here named Mike, we appreciate you.

This thread isn’t actually late… it’s uhhh… Daylight Savings Time? Yeah, that’s the ticket…

In some non-football related news, yesterday the Foo Fighters announced that their new drummer (replacing the deceased Taylor Hawkins) will be long-time session/touring drummer Josh Freese. He started playing drums professionally at the age of 12, and he has previously toured with the Vandals, Devo, Guns N’ Roses, A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Sublime, Paramore, and Sting.

Their first new album without Hawkins, But Here We Are, comes out on June 2, 2023.
