Wine-tasting is mostly in our minds:


"In one test, Brochet included fifty-four wine experts and asked them to give their impressions of what looked like two glasses of red and white wine. The wines were actually the same white wine, one of which had been tinted red with food coloring. But that didn’t stop the experts from describing the “red” wine in language typically used to describe red wines. One expert said that it was “jammy,”5 while another enjoyed its “crushed red fruit.”

"Another test that Brochet conducted was even more damning. He took a middling Bordeaux and served it in two different bottles. One bottle bore the label of a fancy grand cru, the other of an ordinary vin de table. Although they were being served the exact same wine, the experts gave the bottles nearly opposite descriptions. The grand cru was summarized as being “agreeable,” “woody,” “complex,” “balanced,” and “rounded,” while the most popular adjectives for the vin de table included “weak,” “short,” “light,” “flat,” and “faulty.”"

Not a study involving experts. Totally believable that on average people can't tell the difference. But I wonder if there were outliers. Were any of the subjects able to do it with surprising accuracy? Were some wines consistently rated high/low priced?

Not saying I can discriminate price--and price is not a good discriminator on whether it tastes good--but wines definitely taste differently from one another.

How to Help a Drunk Person Open Their Car

braschlosan says...

Fuck that. If I go to my car when I'm drunk ITS SO I CAN SLEEP IT OFF IN WARMTH AND SAFETY.

What if you only have one copy of the key (some people do). Now you have to pay to have it unlocked, so you can get your paperwork, then get a ride to the dealer to have a key cut from the vin (if they even have it on file) which may not be available so during that time your car is getting ticketed or towed.

Don't make assumptions. What if the guy was stumbling because he was going into a diabetic choma from low blood sugar and now he is DEAD because you think you're the safety police

Samuel L. Jackson on Hulk Weed

legacy0100 says...

Actors and actresses often have nothing new to say on these interviews simply because they've been doing it for the last thousandth time in a day. Some of them memorize a line and repeat it over and over, like what Vin Diesel does. And Samuel likes to fuck around, like we see in this video.

Legalize Marinara

bookface says...

The first miracle of Jesus is turning water into really good wine at the wedding feast in Canan. What's more is our lord converted six 20 - 30 gallon stone jars worth! That's like the Costco of the ancient world for wine!! Pretty sure a few people got pretty drunk off of Le Vin Du Jesus that good day.

This is a Christian:
Luke 9:23-25
If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?
If you do these things you will not inherit the kingdom of God:
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Everyone is guilty of breaking some of these, but we are to repent and change our ways. The word sorcery in the greek is pharmakeia, which is where we get the word pharmacy. It is specifically referring to drug use, especially as it pertains to idolatry. A Christian does not use drugs receationally, nor approve of their use. It is also violation of federal law to smoke marijuana.

See? Even Jesus Christ wants it to be legal!

Is no one noticing the pure awesomeness of who, in fact, sifted this?


I think you missed the point. I was making a tongue in cheek comment on the fact that this guy looks a lot like the popular interpretation of what Jesus looked like. Not that he endorses drug usage.
However:
Genesis 1:29
Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you"

This driver's balls are inversely proportional to his brain

Twas The Night Before Christmas in Celebrity Voices

Hastur says...

I liked the Vin Scully. Morgan Freeman surprised me too.

But shouldn't John Wayne be retired from impersonation repertoires by now? It's like doing Richard Nixon. We get it, he has jowls.

Maybe you've just watched the wrong movies. He tends to get typecast alot, but he's a decent actor.

I'll be honest I went into this with every intention of hating the guy before he even opened his mouth, it's nice to be surprised, he seems really cool, too bad he can't act for shit.
