Bad title for the pub. Too close to the title of the D & D thread.

D&D this weekend, good for them.

Sake tasting this weekend, GREAT for me.

Sake-induced posting from bowtie--GREAT for all of us!

maybe, it's a japanese store down the street from my house. Though EVERYTHING is down the street from my house it seems. I live the perfect area of town. Didn't plan it that way, just kinda worked out.

Anyway, I was there this weekend getting some Udon and that no calorie noodle stuff, can't remember the name. Anyway, they have basically exclusively Gekkaikan or whatever Sake, which I've never been impressed with. But free Sake is free Sake. I'm sure I'll buy a bottle of something.

Also, Sake One must not sell here at all anymore. I can't find it anywhere I used to find it. Sadness.

WANT TO HUG!...you can't tell us you're going to drink sake this weekend and then NOT post...

Grape prices hit new high in California for 2011 crop:

Have you ever known me to do what's expected of me?

So we now expect you NOT to post.

Hey! do not try to reverse bowtie me!

that sounds soooooo wrong.

Hi HAK

Hi HAK

reverse bowtie... hmm...

No, I think it's best to NOT try to expound on that

yes, pounding is probably a bad idea on many fronts.

bhodilee wrote:yes, pounding is probably a bad idea on many fronts.

Unless it's bowtie pounding sake (or sake pounding bowtie). Then we're all in favor.

Actually, there is a change. The new NorCal (Volcanic TERROR!!!) is on the list. I've pinned it to March, since they are still in the date-negotiating phase.

(Yes, I know it's actually Terroir, but I still think Volcanic TERROR sounds much more fun! Wine + Monster Movies!)

Agreed! I think something like "Zenaida Mondatta" would be better. And would give kitteh much more better songs in her head all week.

Is is wrong that that inspired "Hakuna Matata" in my head? The title. Not the album. Since I don't know the album. Or any of the songs on the album, for that matter. Was never a huge fan of The Police

Ugh! How can anyone not be a huge fan of the Police! Songs about nuclear war, stalkers (before they were called stalkers), corporate greed, dysfunctional family life impacting future relationships, D/s, general anarchy in the streets... All with a kick-ass backbeat. What's not to like?

You are *dead* to me!

I've recovered!! Friday night had what I think is highest fever I've had. Set the electic mattress pad at 10, even though I have never had it higher than 2 for more than 15 minutes. SWMBO put another blanket, folded over on me. And I finally stopped shivering. Nothing else felt wrong, just the fever. But I was beat on Saturday. And that was the day for my daughter and a dozen friends to party. All but one spent the night, all over the house.

It is great that ours was the house to come hang out at. We knew all her friends and from that, knew she made good decisions. And it was really fun seeing all of them again.

And she will be here to have Valentine's dinner with my wife and I. Omaha Steaks filets and a great bottle of wine.

I was going to post a link to a song, then realized, all of these songs suck. So instead, I'll just post the youtube police page.

We really need to petition for a "like" or at least a "this don't suck" button on here!

Forecast for tomorrow. Cloudy with a chance of Wootin-off.

Looks like double trouble with a WTSO cheapskate Wednesday this week as well. Yikes!

crap, I forgot about cheapskate Wednesday!

Actually, I *did* update it at about 2pm yesterday. I just hosed up and did an edit instead of a new line item. Hey - when you're the only person posting in a thread, it gets really easy to slip up.

Hmmm, then it should have been on the list. Since I thought I used the latest post on it.


Ahhhh, it's in April's list. And you can say that again ... many times I've thought I hit the reply, but hit edit instead. Or is that the other way around?

cortot20 wrote:Forecast for tomorrow. Cloudy with a chance of Wootin-off.

Probably next week ....

MarkDaSpark wrote:Probably next week ....

Yup.
They have been happening like clock work over the last year or two.

I felt like they used to be a lot more random.

Is that bulk wine prices? I can't imagine any grapes running around at this point! Are there different prices for young bulk wines versus aged ones?

cortot20 wrote:Forecast for tomorrow. Cloudy with a chance of Wootin-off.

I hope not.... I'm getting into that awkward period where I don't know if I should be purchasing wine online or not. Tentative move to the East Coast is about two weeks away (and the worst part being is the "tentative" part... when do I start packing!?)

Starting at 6am ET!? I am soooo not a morning person. *grumble *grumble*

They used to be. I think last year was the first year of regular woot-offs. Year before that we had the hour-long Woot-offs.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Speaking of google...

Go to google and search "do a barrel roll." I just learned about this one and thought I would share for those are as far behind the times as I am.
