Things I Think About
ReplyDelete--When was the last time that the Hosemaster moved a hose?
--If taste buds were in our nipples, who would be the supertasters then? Would it be easier to identify them? How would the MW program change?
--Where is Samantha Duggan?
--Do sexually suggestive wine labels affect the morals of teen-agers who buy wine online?
--Whatever happened to Trump Airlines?
--If chickens were a geography contest, would my favorite part be Thailand, Brest or Liege?
--Is that a comb in your pocket?
Watch out Ron, looks like Charlie is after your job.
ReplyDeleteTrending all over Facebook, in case you care. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Gang,
ReplyDeleteCharlie is welcome to my job. I seem to be the only person on the planet who likes my job as Wine Business Fool, so if Charlie wants it, he can have it.
I'm sure I'm not really trending on FaceBook, but if I am, well, goody. I'm not on FaceBook. I'm only barely on Blogger. But any new readers are welcome. I think I'm up to 14 readers now. So that's ten more than Palate Press!
Thanks to everyone who has the guts to be a Common Tater.
Sir Charles,
ReplyDeleteAs I told you and my Beloved Ron years ago, I'm always here... kind of like poo on your shoe, you're stuck with me.
Always here reading, admiring, laughing... missing you all.
You also forgot, it's double D's not double G's.
Love you both, always.
Samantha Dugan

Oh for an RP on the Sexual proclivity of Sauvignon!
Joel,
ReplyDeleteSexual proclivity in Sauvignon? Seems to me like Sauvignon is mostly shooting Blancs.
