They only care about jokes and how often and sarcastically I make fun of wine bloggers and the wine business. When I talk about wine they all bitch and moan and complain that if they want to read about wine they'll go to other blogs. Not that I care, I pretty much just write whatever the hell I want. <br /><br />I hope you'll stick around and participate as the mood suits you. As you will see, many folks come and go here, but, all in all, HoseMaster has, by far, the best and brightest and funniest comments in the wine blog world. And with 90% less buttkissing than a regular blog.Ron Washamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386836101202976147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-35736810066423811362010-07-19T16:05:54.394-07:002010-07-19T16:05:54.394-07:00I'm new here, but I think Ron loves it when so...I'm new here, but I think Ron loves it when someone picks up on his referents(?), like Thomas did, and ignores the wine crap.

Brought tears to my nose. I try to absorb everything mucosally (is that a word?), but find that air bags work more effectively. Even for gout.<br /><br />Erin,<br /><br />How's my newlywed? So glad to see your gorgeous face here.<br /><br />I absolutely encourage nonsense here in the comments section. I love it when someone "trumps" my wit. And I also love how only on HoseMaster can a throwaway comment about Brett turn into a discussion of wine writing ethics and gout, which, actually, have a lot in common.

I saw that STEVE! complained that he notices a bit of alcohol intakes when he tastes. I never do, but then I weigh a bit more than his 130 pounds. He likes to taste at 10 AM, after he has exercised, so perhaps he needs a new tasting regimen. <br /><br />I would advise that he take two glasses of milk and call me in the morning.Puff Daddyhttp://www.cgcw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-6476833401626064442010-07-18T16:22:52.814-07:002010-07-18T16:22:52.814-07:00"my tasting acuity just keeps getting better&..."my tasting acuity just keeps getting better"<br /><br />colchicine should slow olfactory mucosa turnover - not sure if that improves acuity but it might diminish it as it slows down delivery of fresh receptors to the surface.<br /><br />lower alcohol intake (which helps in gout) definitely helps: it lets the brain rest and while you detect with olfactory and gustatory detectors, you recognize and process with the brain.
