QOTD: Dubstep
January 9, 2009

Dessert Wine Nerd
Dont you dare put Hogan and Flair in the same sentence! I have always hated Hogan with a passion. I just find the character to be over the top phony, and his set of moves was boring at best. It was obviously a great PR move my McMahon to make him a “USA” character in the 80s with all that Regan crap goign on, but no way could he match up to Rowdy Roddy Piper (best character in pro wrestling history), Flair, Macho Man, Million Dollar Man, Ultimate Warrior ( God watching his INSANE promos are classic ), Psycho Sid, etc. God I couldnt stand him…… end rant. QOTD: Jazz. There is nothing like comming home from a stressful day and putting on some John Coltrane. The man was a genius. Period. Also people like Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Pat Methany, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc. Just brilliant people who are on another level. God to be inside their brain for one day…….

I watched a bunch of old episodes on the plane last week when I went on vacation, so I’m catching up now.

Raspberry pop tarts are nasty, I don’t know how they went so wrong with that flavor.

Wings. I’m a wing eating connoisseur. A local (VA) wannabe Irish pub makes the best I’ve had so far.

I liked the randomness of this show, anything was possible.

QOTD – OK, you took the easy ones (Family & Wine!). Other than that I’m not sure I have a passion, the study of History comes close, or good Sci-Fi & fantasy, maybe the odd Strategy game on the PC.

Other than family and wine? What else is there?
I am passionate about college basketball – to get a bit more detailed – March Madness when my teams are thriving, namely the UConn Husky men and women. 2004 – first time in college basketball history that both the men and women won it all in March Madness. Doesn’t get any better than that!

Gary, thanks for the show. I wanted to be up there at the WL with all of my fellow Vayniacs, but it just wasn’t possible. Hope you guys had a great time.

QOTD: I am passionate about my faith, my friends, and trying to make a difference in people’s lives. I believe we were meant to live for more than what we live for, in general, and I love connecting with peeps and sharing a glass of wine and good conversation with them.

QOTD- Motorcycle sport touring. Motorcycling exercises your pal(ate) in a whole new dimension. If you haven’t tried it get out on a motorcycle and smell the world.

P.S. Try the Mulderbosch Chardonnay sometime – great SA chard without the oak monster.
