I was speaking metaphorically.

Your angry guy schtick has moved beyond funny, past annoying, on through disturbing, and has settled at pitiable.

Hmm. I find it endearing. Sort of spookyfish lite.

Don't be taken in by his smoke and mirrors. Clever, yes, but Fleurs Du Mal lacks wisdom - the wisdom of a kind and loving heart. In his soul, he is a doofus.

Not smart enough to understand your wry-rye comment. Were you poking fun at Ironweak's perpetual alchohol intoxication? Unfortunately, his drunk guy schtick has never moved beyond pitiable.

Gee Gatti, you're right. This place is downright educational. I've had to look up 3 things that I'll never use in a sentence and now know who Charles Baudelaire is.

Heavens, no. I meant rye as opposed to pumpernickel. I can, however, understand why you were confounded.

Not so. You'd be surprised how often you can use "umlauts" in casual conversation.

It seems from your scores that Celtic always loses. Is there some "inside joke" about why you'd follow a team from across the world that blows? I mean in Europe you see people wearing Yankees hats, not Tigers. Why do you like this team?

The heart wants what the heart wants. I mean, you'd love Spanky even if he went through a bad patch and couldn't close the house sales for a while, wouldn't you?

Stumbled across a recentWired feature that reminded me of our past threads on this topic. (It panned the Rabbit, FWIW).

  • Chateau Laguiole Waiter-Style Corkscrew & Clef du Vin Wine-Tasting Tool

    Forged by a French cutlery manufacturer and accented with barrel oak, the Chateau Laguiole is the nexus of 15th-century design and 21st-century enology. The Clef du Vin extension is tipped with a dot of copper alloy that ages the wine one year for each second it's submerged in the glass. A three-second dunk took the edge off a 2003 pinot noir.

    Wired: Snob appeal in spades: Wield this at a dinner party and your friends will see you differently.

    Tired: Spendy: You'll be sorry if a guest walks off with it.

I simply must have this. Walk back into the kitchen, dip this thing into a box of Gallo Rose for 10 seconds, and presto changeo! I walk back into the living room with 4 poured glasses of an '87 Shiraz.

Note to self: get new French wine toy; but be sure to scratch the Clintons from the guest list.

Aging a Shiraz for 18 years might be a little much. No offence.
