    SeanM: Thanks for the clarification on that. Sounds kind of like the vegetable oil at the local greasy-spoon. 🙂

  • Actually Michael W…defenses ARE made up by year, not by history…hell…they’re made game by game!

    The truth…the Bucs are giving up over 20 pts per game and giving up over 324 defensive yards per game. I wonder how well the last ten years is helping them?

    Tim,
    I don’t know of a greasy spoon that would still have grease fron 1927. If you do, treasure that place. 😉 It’s probably a combination of lard and vegetable oil and nothing tastes like food deepfried in ancient lard.

    PS: I can’t believe I typed that with a straight face.

    I am starting to put together my order now too and waiting for the Free Shipping code. What other wines are on your shopping list. I get stuck only looking at the Bordeaux & Sauternes & Germans.

    I would love to hear what everyone is putting together. Thx

    I watched a show on the FoodNetwork a few months back about a diner that just added new oil every day to the existing oil (and had been doing so for some ridiculous amount of time like 75 years). When the restaurant changed locations, the oil was transported with the aid of a police escort.

    Brandon, you really want at least 2 of the Solera’s. They are small bottles and once open are empty before you know it.

    FYI shoppers – I re-watched and Gary said “…you can get EVERYTHING YOU WANT, Free Shipping!” So – it would seem that there is not a quantity limit (for those of you thinking it was limited to a case).
