Oak monster? Looked like a Truffula tree to me. So benevolent. Who knew?

Oh wait, I *do* have Cotchery! Ah well, Jennings wasn’t getting anywhere, someone was gullible enough to drop him for a homer, and Pennington’s on the bench, so why not?

On board? I suppose so. But I’m not drinking anything for this episode.

#59 Dat Nguyen. Underrated and retired quick linebacker from the Dallas Cowboys.

QOTD: On board!

#59… Dat Nguyen…. the crazy asian linebacker!

alright, I’ve been lurking here for a couple of weeks now (since I read the article in Slate). Guess I should come clean, come out, and be down with Vayniac Nation. I’ve watched maybe 30 or 40 episodes since finding this site, absolutely LOVE the reviews. Sort of a wine barbarian, I don’t have a very discriminating palate (coffee, however is a different story), but I can recognize the 2 extremes: know what’s nasty, and what’s extremely good. The 70% in between tastes very much the same to me.

Anyway, I’m enjoying learning much more about wine, expanding my exposure to new tastes, and being entertained by GV, you da MAN. (But…. just wait for Sept 16th. Caw! Caw!)

There. De-Lurked, officially. Dealwiddit.

Gary, Gary, Gary…too, too much! We just love ya! Love the montage!!! AND…great episode, as always. QOD: I am SO on board!!!

Great show. You finally payed a much needed homage to your inner oak monster. We’ve all got one…he just needs a little love occasionally.

italianwinelover,
‘frockled’…??

QOTD ayup…

All aboard!

funny montage
gary hearts the oak monster!!

J DUB IS ON BOARD!!!

Greatest #59? Pittsburgh Steeler perennial All-Pro and Hall-Of-Famer Jack Ham, of course!!!

I’m there! Woodn’t miss it! Oakay!

You know it!!!

Big G, Nice, Nice, Nice. I thought you gave the kids what they wanted. Just a little bit of Oak.

QOTD: On Board Sir and Hanging 10 on the Nose!

“Let’s see if this wine brings the wood.” Did you really say that??? I wonder what Conan’s response would have been.

QOTD: Most definately!!!!!

Can we bring the gravitar’s back?

QOTD: Yes.

QOTD: Yeah. I’m on board.

I have to say that I sometimes take a dip into the dark side and enjoy a nice buttery chard… Not always, but occasionally 🙂

Haven’t had any Robert Young – you’ve got me interested … oak in balance is everything –

Favorite #59 – Rosie Colvin – sorry GV.

QOTD: on-board

QOTD: I believe so

Gary … I went to a wine tasting last year that featured Chilean wines and the host (who was a Chilean winemaker) said that they were still finding carmenere in their vineyards where they thought they had merlot. Said that because they thought they were picking merlot, the wines were tasting a lot younger/greener than if they would have picked at the right time for carmenere… anyway, I’ll stop rambling.

QOTD: If there’s still room on board, I’m in …

QOTD: Yes. Hell yes.

I’ve never been a “remember player’s number guy”, but Landon Johnson (113 tackles, .5 sacks, 3 FF, 0 arrest) of the glorious Bengals is #59. I just hope 59 isn’t the over/under on how many times he gets burned this year.

I’m ready for anything! 7 days?! Having a baby? Making your own wine? (I hope so.) Moving to Uruguay?

Lion-O, PVC Snarf, Vultureman, and The Snowman of Hook Mt.—sweet. Thundercat “THE MAD BUBBLER” is the closest I’ve seen to matching your rendition of “THE OAK MONSTER”.

Lurker x 4 months-love the show

Ordered the 2 pack for Friday’s show and can’t get FedEx to deliver when I will be home. Grrrrr. What to do?

Dr. J

Gary, way to show the love to a regular guest of the show the Oak Monster, great episode!
QOTD- Yes

qotd: yup

theoakmonster.com: hilarious!

59: can’t think of one off the top of my head.
