Thanks for all the kind responses to my ...Hey Gang,<br />Thanks for all the kind responses to my Godfather post. It is much appreciated.<br /><br />Whenever some sort of scandal hits the wine biz, be it Parker or Jay Miller or Natalie, I start to get emails. Though it feels almost oppressive, I try to take it as flattery. Countless bloggers express their opinions, the wine chat rooms light up, but little is said in an interesting way. I spent a day or two with the Galloni situation in my subconscious (barely room in there for so many damned egos, especially mine) but, truthfully, I didn't expect to come up with anything suitably satiric or funny. Some will say I didn't. However, when the thought of Parker in the great Brando role leapt into my mind, I thought I'd give it a shot. From that premise, overworked as it is, I let my HoseMaster voice take it where it wanted to.<br /><br />My blog hits have lit up from Wineberserkers--thanks, Bill--and also from other chat rooms. But nothing from eBob, which is interesting. Don't care, just interesting.<br /><br />I've been saying this for five years now--there's nothing new, genuinely new, to say about wine or the wine business. But the joy for me is to try and find an entertaining, satiric, silly way to approach old topics. I can only hope I succeed more than mere randomness would allow.Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-60244024322544186242013-03-26T08:10:22.743-07:002013-03-26T08:10:22.743-07:00Brilliant Hosey.

In such situations a human male may initiate a game called "Just the tip", which represents a suggested compromise in the age old battle of the sexes. In a typical game of "Just the tip" it will be verbally agreed that the male <br />may penetrate his partner's vagina, but with stipulation that his may only insert the glans or "tip" of his penis.<br /><br />The female payoff is that she may avoid both physical pain and/or social ostracism, while the male enjoys limited coitus. In many cases, it is documented that upon insertion a formally reluctant female may become to open to allowing the male other sexual largesse; hence the games popularity.<br /><br />-Wineknurd (via urban dictionary)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-54252405375879351802013-03-25T14:48:34.396-07:002013-03-25T14:48:34.396-07:00The list of nicknames is the highlight, especially...The list of nicknames is the highlight, especially "The Pretender."Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322028233207741737noreply@blogger.com
