On board in Vancouver, Gary.

QOTD: I don’t mind a little oak (I love vanilla-ish flavors), but the oak monster does scare me off more often than not.

Rosevelt Colvin, aswell as the rest of the Pats! We will get sweet revenge against Satan Manning!

“I want the wood directly in my mouth.” And the suggestive grabbing hand movement to go along with the words, too.

Ah, the Thunder Show. Gotta love it even when it gets a little strange.

QOTD – Yes! No wait… maybe. Definitely a possibility. I’m sorry what was the question again?

Really psyched you brought the oak monster, because I was just commenting on how I didn’t fully understand it the other day. Closer now, but not quite there. Definetely on board.

Snarf snarf! Great show!

Great Show!

for those of us who dont watch TV, keep doing the vlog

QOTD: I’m on board.

Perfect timing on the oak episode – I was just thinking to myself that I’ve a lot to learn in this arena. For instance, the red meritage from Walla walla I’m currently drinking finishes just like an oakey chard. It’s got me scratching my head, but I think I can chalk it up to my oak association prejudices. Isn’t wine interesting?

oak-ay episode. sorry, i had to.
qotd: on board? im steering!

qotd: on board and brought a bunch of others with me!
(very disappointed about missing meeting you in LA but your apologies are accepted)

Back in love with the oakmonster? Mhh..no way. A gentle, balanced touch may be, but still no punch in the face allowed.

dude, what in the world could this announcement be?!?!?!? 1 week left… the countdown continues…

QOTD: I’m on board!

p.s. my wife received the awesome new wristband!!!! She’s happy… but mine hasn’t arrived yet 🙁 I hope it arrives soon!!!

glad you are back in the hot seat. Welcome back.
Got tired of seeing the same shirt for three episodes.
oak monster was cool. I like the oak monster. For me, it beats sweaty socks and asparagus. Great show.

QOTD: yes – I like yes/no questions 🙂

Ah… Vikes trouncing of the Jets? In denile? 14-3. Lars is now the new great swami.

QOTD: YES. I’m on board.

Shout out to snarf….uh…i’m not going to touch the wood comment.

Loved the Oak Monster montage, Gary.

QOTD: I’m on board. I feel you, man. Little bit of love to the oak, but not too much…

veryy funny pictures at the end hahahaha real nice

QOTD:of course im on board!! and always be!

Damnit Gary, you made me spit wine all over my keyboard! I must say you and the oak monster make a cute couple. I’ve never liked much oak but in the last week i’ve had an 04′ numanthia with alot of oak that’s very well integrated that was extremely delicious. I’ve also had a barolo, an 01′ brunello riserva and Ribera del duero riserva that were so over-oaked and tannic that I couldn’t even drink them. That’s never happened to me before. What a waste of $250!

Good to see you embracing your inner wood. it was quite a cathartic show.

my favorite #59 is one of the Browns finest…. Mike Johnson. Solid linebacker for years and if the Browns could have ever beaten the Broncos, he would not be a secret. Mr. Johnson, I have not forgotten you.

Gary, remember Bernie throwing for 489 yards against the Jets in the 1986 playoffs? I don’t want to get banned from the site but that was a great memory from childhood. Double OT game ending with Mark Moseley’s FG. 23-20. Of course, Elway ended the joy with a 98 yard drive that I will never be able to forget. You may have seen it. Unless, of course, you’re headless!!!

enough of that… Great pics with Mr. Oak Monster. you guys make a great couple. Glad to see you made up.

Hmmmm
â?? All that Malbec
â?? Kosher
â?? Oaky

Back to lurking, me…

Gary likes the wood in his mouth, and sniffing toe fungus? Hey, not like there’s anything wrong with that. You know who else likes wood? Termites. I enjoy drinking fruit, not tree bark. But I can’t entirely bash the oak, seriously. I do enjoy the creamy vanilla chardonnay from time to time – especially if my wife puts a gun to my head and forces me to eat at California Pizza Kitchen. (Hey, just kidding, CPK TCB, know what I mean?) Bottom line: Gary, your working life is wine, you’ve devoted yourself to teaching us about the noble grapes, and massive respect to you for that. It’s a massive hobby for me now, and you’re a big reason for that. Thanks, and keep wining!

Gary, the oakmonstah badges (lynch bages?) are friggin awesome! Put on my TagWorld and mypace.
