InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 fortunately you are perfectly trained to be weeded out of a jury pool "I believe people are guilty unless proven innocent" someone said this at one I had to attend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I got out of Jury duty once, by saying I thought the marijuana laws were immoral and would invoke my right to jury nullification to vote not guilty if put on a jury. The judge dismissed me, the prosecution didn't even have to scratch me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Which I mean, is true, but if I really gave a shit about jury nullification activism, I wouldn't have offered that during selection. Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I have that bottle, waiting for a life event of some kind to open it. have tried to sell it once or twice. if I was real motivated I could get $700-800 for it. I'm not. I got to try a small pour of it at a liquor store, and it is phenomenal. I just don't think anything could justify $700/bottle. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm under the impression that courts hate jury nullification. I've been told that you can be arrested for even handing our pamphlets about it or talking about it in the court house. (Although I've never actually looked it up) Link to post Share on other sites

(Although I've never actually looked it up) Well, I think that's probably false that they arrest you for talking about it in the court house or handing out pamphlets, I can imagine they hate hate hate it. Jury Nullification is basically how weed became legal in Colorado, because no jury would convict anyone because of nullification. It could be an incredibly powerful ( and chaotic) tool for average people to use, to make political protest about laws, if it ever took hold, and I imagine they want to nip it in the bud. And if you need to nip it in the bud, by kicking me off a jury, so be it. Link to post Share on other sites
JubilantLankyLad 1,957 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 There's little chance it's really "worth" that kind of money. I paid more for that shot than I've paid for all but about 3-4 full bottles in my bar - a shot being more expensive than a top-shelf bottle is pretty dumb, but still, after looking for a few years I wasn't about to pass it up.

I saw Pappy 15 on the menu at a really nice restaurant here in town, for $15/pour. I was out with my parents and didn't want to stick them with the bill, so I passed it up. I have regrets. Typically it is at least $40. I am leading this committee at work to look for new ideas and improvements and whatnot. I am thinking about linking this 20-minute episode to the committee: http://www.npr.org/s...nt_economy.html I listened to it back in 2010, and it kind of blew my mind. It's not that I wasn't aware of these concepts, just hadn't heard the dots connected like that before. I have a framed conjoined triangles of success on my desk, so it gets uncomfortable for me when I start having to discuss lean with people. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I paid quite a bit more than $40 but I was in NYC so I'm sure there was a location tax. The framed conjoined triangles is a great idea. I should get one for my office.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Are you afraid of your parents? Even I would try it at $15. Might even mix it with Diet Coke if someone was there I could irritate You coulda told the waiter to charge you seperately, you coulda handed them a $20, any number of things. I hear so many stories of people afraid to be themselves around their parents. So weird to me. But I seem to be the outlier Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 no, I drink around my parents. part of it was it just didn't register with me that it was that much of a steal. Link to post Share on other sites
The Ocho 970 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 When my buddy bought his bottle of Pappy 15 a couple years ago it was $99 from the store. If these are selling on the secondary market for 6-700, why doesn't the distributor just charge at least 60% of that so they are participating in the "true vale" of their spirit. If the store is selling for $99 they cant be buying it for much more than $50. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 it's all bullshit designed to keep the bottles scarce. Buffalo Trace / Sazerac threaten to cut allocations for distributors who mark up the limited edition bottles. distributors typically do the same to liquor stores, again at the behest of the distillery. if they were priced according to market and sitting on the shelf collecting dust, I don't think anyone would care anymore. I am seeing more and more stuff marked up and sitting, when it would have previously been impossible to find. so I have a suspicion that it may be peaking. my pappy 15 was $80, but I sat in line all night for the privilege. I would not do it again. Link to post Share on other sites
