Pretty sure that's a big NO.

Interestingly, my 6 y.o. niece told me yesterday that Halloween was evil and God didn't want me to do Halloween. I asked my sister where that came from and she blamed it on the BIL -- who is not particularly devout but has some weird quirks in his beliefs.

It's true. The guys who are the New Messiah get to bang all the ladies in the compound. I think it's in the Constitution somewhere. I think Christianity should be proud of having invented the sexual primacy of the Omega Male.

Is he just cheap?

Kaka would surely disagree:

Calling Hollywood.
 
Edward Norton needs to do a biopic of Walt Disney while the creepy resemblance still happens with only the addition of a pencil mustache.

I am, and yet I agree with your recap above. Go figure.

No, some are for those of us with a savior complex. Also, it goes well with my beard and flowing locks.

He's one of the cheapest people I know. He's almost stupid cheap.**

But I don't think cheapness is the reason because my sister buys candy to give to the neighborhood kids and the girls have mermaid and princess costumes. I think it's just one of his weird quirks.

**My nephew (not the son of this BIL) is stupid cheap. And he doesn't seem to learn when it is stupid to be cheap. He decided he "couldn't afford" insurance on his car. So when he hit a deer on the road, he had to pay for the considerable expenses out of pocket. His most recent stupid cheapness is deciding it was "too expensive" to pay to plug in the refrigerator when he spends so much time at work. So he can't keep any perishable food and has to eat out all the time.

from what i can see it is $40-60 per bottle. This puts it in the right price range for my table wine, but the quality is not equal to what I expect for that range. if by "highfaulitin" you mean "not swayed by an allegedly exotic locale," then i will have to agree with you. BOC, I can hit three lebanese restaurants with a rock from my office's front door.

As they said on that old Honda commercial, you can't make this stuff up. My brother has a great story about a stupid/cheap teenager he knew who who never ran the heat in his car because he didn't want to use extra fuel.

Well, sure, it sounds "stupid" to you, because your house isn't inhabited by "spirits" who continually open and close the fridge all day when you are at work.

So you've had good results with your Palestinian coach? Good to hear.
