It’s about time you enjoyed your wine like a man and didn’t spit!! Plus, the finish is always better if you don’t spit. $250 on futures, eh? I guess I’ll have to wait until we have one at a tasting here.

So, QOD: I went to a thrift store in a small town called Cresco, Iowa and got a 100% Camel Hair winter jacket–with absolutely no problems and was the perfect size to wear with my suit for a grand total of $4.00. Yes…FOUR dollars. Freakin’ rad.

OK, see you later,
GO BEARS!!

It’s felt like Friday as of Monday, so your couch-time seems appropriate! Nice!

As for the previous and now infamous sibling comment, that’s what makes “Live TV” all the livelier. No apologies needed – you probably had some folks in West Virginia on your side (joking here – please no angry posts from any kind people from WV…).

I’m from WI, so gotta love the cheese theme here.

QOTD….purchased (stole) a 67′ chevy nova recently….sold it a month later for an embarassing profit. Oh, I also got in the mail a free wrist band from some dude who talks about wine and cheeze:)

Winelibrary.com is my best bargain. Entertainment, great wine tips, ability to purchase desired wines immediately at a very fair price, opportunity to refine my palate and compare my perceptions with Gary, at any time of the day at my convenience, for no charge. How cool is that?

I had this at a wine tasting last weekend (along with 98-05 Le Gay). Problem was that, as is common at wine tastings, they did a pop and pour. This wine was so tannic and so dry that it was like dust. I wish I could have had a chance to taste this after a few hours. I’ll probably now never get a chance to taste this wine due to it’s price.

Thanks Gary

Give ‘em the high, hard, stinky cheese! That’s over the plate, steeeeeeerike!

Yeah, well. Good ep. Love it, love it all. The Angelus seems to be killing it, now to sell a kidney or something.

QOD: Bought a 4400$ limited edition Movado diamond ring, set in platinum, for 1200$. She gets comments on it where ever she goes. That’s enough to say ’steal’.

Great cheese ep. Should do more like that. I can also go totally berserk for some cheese. Last week we had some Stilton washed in Port and a bottle of 1981 Barros Colheita, … oh, good for an organoleptic orgasm, sent me to heaven like a rocket on speed. Just OBNOXIOUSLY stupid .
QOTD: didn’t you ask that before? I remeber me telling you I bought a ring for my girlfriend, it cost 10000 or smth and the bank only got 1000 from my account … so, one hell of a bargain. Another bargain: I’m playing the French horn, bought a hand made Hans Hoyer of 30 years old from my teacher, I could just have it for a thousand. It’s for 4000-6000 on the market!
C ya.

Oh yeah,

The best bargain of them all, is that medical school in Denmark is free, and the government pays you 800 bones a month for doing it – hows that for a bargain!
I suppose its easier to manage a small country?!…

Hey Gary,

Best bargain must have been my magimix, that I bought 3 years ago, which I still havn’t payed for, even though the store insists that I have – Not on my Visa they havn’t!

QOD: Freshman tuition and the university of Kansas
1987=630 odd bones. Still the best deal in the U.S.
Comment 44: By leatherpalate

LOL leatherpalate! Tuition my senior year at K.U. in 1981: around 320 bones. Ah, back in the days of a flat rate if you were a fulltime student… now I pay more than that *per credit hour* at UW. At least this is my last quarter! don’t wait to get that graduate degree kiddies!

LOVE giving cheeses a rating. LOVE the enthusiasm over drinking a $250 bordeaux. (shit I’d be happy as a tornado in a trailer park) But wait! I need to send a pic, and there’s a new contest? for a napa trip?? Hoodee!

Ass stinky cheese…..I love it. QOTD: bought a queen size mattress and box spring for 75 bucks, and it is very comfortable. Gotta love Gainesville “bed clearance” stores

FYI-I haven’t received the wristbands yet. Likely they are vacationing in customs, if they were sent north of the border.

I have yet to try an extreme, sock-rotting-in-a-ditch-for-a-year-with-something-random “stinky ass” cheese or, for that matter, any cheese with a cover of mold like shag carpet but I am always willing to push the boundaries.

QOTD – My best bargain ever was a hard cover box set of the complete poems of e.e. cummings in mint condition from a used book store in my university years for 50$(CAD)- I have never come across another set like it. I consider it priceless. It’s no longer in mint condition but it is dog-eared and well-loved.

Epoisse!! Used to own a cheese shop…….I know that shit Gary and you are a beast….it was banned on French public transportation at one point because of the delicious stench. Just a little trivia there for ya.

Best bargain was a 2 dollar bj from an ex con. not really……..feeling inappropriate tonight
