The October surprise will be a “vaccine”

Not as bad a rip off as Patron. Once rappers start talking something up, it's over.
can any of you suggest a good tequila that’s not a rip off?
im not sure my taste buds are developed enough to know the difference
and alcohol isn’t really my drug of choice anyway

Once you see it on the side of a truck or a billboard, it's over. You're paying their marketing budget.
Go to a "GOOD" liquor store and TALK TO THE SPIRITS BUYER. If you live in LA go to K & L Hollywood and ASK FOR THE SPIRITS BUYER. He knows more than anyone on the west coast about spirits. No joke.
My personal knowledge:
Siete Leguas - The Patron Family, sold the Patron label, still make the original deal under this label.
Cimarron
Fortaleza
Don Fulano
Any Tequila from NOM 1146
Any Tequila from NOM 1579
Tapatio. Trust me, the bottles are ugly but the Tequila is
. The son of the famed Camarena family. They also make Ocho and El Tesoro.There's more.
Don't buy anything that is a label with a celebrity attached: E Cuarenta, Casamigos (though they sold, Clooney no longer owns it). They have nothing to do with the product and they charge you more. For example, Casamigos (George Clooney) was made by the distillery that makes Avion, which costs less. They sold and found a new distillery to make it, or bought one. Basically, nearly every distillery in Mexico making Tequila is like a MGP and whiskey. You want a private label? They'll make one for you.
Depends. California? You're being ripped off, FOR SURE. Or rather, you're paying someone's mortgage on the winery and their vacation home(s). Spain, France, Italy, Portugal. Best values in wine. Period. Wine is more complicated than spirits, which seems counterintuitive, but it's true. CRAFT BEER is where you REALLY get ripped off. $30 for a 750ml bottle of an industrial product that takes a week or 4 weeks to make. Good wine takes minimum 8 months to make.

My girl friend yells at me for buying expensive wine.
Then she drinks some and says, "oh this is nice."
Calzadores is what I drink when I am trying to be frugal.
I will try those other brands.

K&L is great.
And then there's the bourbon/scotch guy at Wades Wine in Westlake Village. Go to him for that stuff, and maybe tequila. He's an encyclopedia.
Wades is good. Also Wally's, one in Santa Monica, one in Beverly Hills. Wine House in Culver City. Vendome in Toluca Lake or Studio City. Flask in Sherman Oaks, but watch your wallet there. They do mark-up a LOT.
Damn you're on it. Vendome in Toluca is a stone's throw from where I do xmas eve dinner, and I've bought gifts from Flask. They're a freaking rip off but they have some nearly impossible to find stuff for that premium (no thanks).
Mostly agree. You will always get better value with Euro wines. California whites are fair priced, although when it comes to reds there are only a handful of labels where I don't have buyers remorse afterwards. Ridge and Beckmen never disappoint, as even their lower tier stuff is still a great value.
They're like 5 years behindWait, weed isn't legal there?
Dude, your move is getting crazier and crazier.
erBB poll time: Over/under on how long it takes ifallalot to fully complete his transition to this:
I go with 4 years.
It's legal for "medicinal' use. There's dispensaries all over
Oh, CA is much, much worse in comparison.
But yeah, I'll drive the truck, you run interference
When skully is calling you out re: surf, oh you know you f*cked up big time, ifallalot. 
No offense, skully.
No offense, skully.
Way to ruin Coke, opioids!IF you like caffeine you'll love Ritalin!
Such a better speed.
Cocaine is even better!
I'm a lazy bum but you give me some ADD medicine and I can compete with the naturally high-industrious types.
They don't like it.
They are all CHEATER!

Having actual freedom and not getting raped on COL, taxes, and hundreds of other fees makes not having surf worth it.
I was pretty disillusioned by constant terrible conditions, wind, and crowds anyway
