    In the bucket? Candy – it’s a halloween bucket, right? Maybe some dark chocolate to go with the wine.
    Fave show(s): Little Rascals, House, Two and a Half Men

    SCARY GARY!!!

    I know you got the Halloween thing going, but are you playing mindtricks?
    Seriously. Everybody fast forward to 7.10 and watch the next 8 sec. Did you see it? Look again. The bottle to the left (number 3) suddenly moves slightly to the right. All by itself? Neat little trick I dare say Mr Gary Copperfield ;D

    You had me spooked – I deserve a wristband just to comformt me.

    Best regards,

    Kapers

    I’ve got to go with Arrested Developement and Curb Your Enthusiasm for comedies, and Deadwood for my drama pick. Rome was pretty good, too.

  • Bucket guess: Obviously, the book is in the bucket. You just put it there. There’s air in the bucket. But I’d also guess the third cork from today’s wines.

    QOTD: On now? Lost. Ever? Star Trek: TNG, Firefly…

    MASH was always good, although not so much in re-runs. I’ll watch Forrest Gump anytime they show it!

    I’m glad to see you talk about barbera again. It’s a little more pricey than most, but I generally find Michele Chiarlo’s La Court Barbera D’Asti to be my favorite barbera in a given vintage. The ’04 is drinking very nicely; I just had a bottle last night. QOTD: has to be The Simpsons. bucket: maybe a Thundercat? Thanks again for another great show.

    IN THE BUCKET: The pen you signed the book, or action figure of Nikolai Volkoff.

    QOTD: If it’s dumb ass mindless TV I would say I like Seinfeld and Project Runway. But I really enjoy Nova, when there are new ones since they don’t come out every day. Also, they are in HD-1080i!!!!

    How about a “super Tuscan” episode, I have been curious about these.
