Expensive Wine Is For Suckers
oohlalasassoonBy chance does your wine come with a straw?
Quote hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I'm a wine drinker, but it's usually out of a foil bag. And mixed with a mineral water, and shot of apple juice, and a wedge of lemon.
It's a manly beverage.

oohlalasassoonHey - sorta responding to your post about THIS HEAT, more specifically about your comment that John Peel was THE MAN. He was. Listened to his show via http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1 religiously for a few years prior to his death. I worshiped the guy, which is weird, being a total stranger, but if you've ever listened to him for any amount of time you'll know where I'm coming from. Just the coolest guy around. I sent him an email about some song he played that I liked(Expansion Ride by Magoo). Turns out that he was the type of guy that would actually respond to nubs like me. Not only that but he mentioned my email and said my actual name on the air, which I'm not ashamed to say still makes me smile. LIKE OH MY GOD JOHN PEEL SAID MY NAME -- JOHN PEEL IS TALKING ABOUT ME. I still have that recording and it's a treasured digital possession.
Anyway, thanks for letting me be drunk on your page.

Sesame Street: Game of Chairs (Game of Thrones Parody)
oohlalasassoonIf someone would have told me years ago, as I read the first book of an at-the-time relatively unknown story, that one day, Grover would perform a slapstick parody of the same story I'm not sure I would have believed them.

I sorta thought that video might do better. It's a good tune.

The Japanese Bullet Train - Shinkansen
oohlalasassoonVisited my brother there in 2006 and we took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Hiroshima. And you're right, they're a lot of fun. Just super cool. Definitely a different type of experience than say, this -- although sticking your head out a window and getting coal embers in your eye has its own charm.

A few years ago the family went to Japan for a couple of weeks and we bought a Japan rail pass. The Shinkansen are just an amazingly fun experience. Especially when you can just hop on or off with a pass. If you have kids - I highly recommend the experience.

HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY! It's a big one!
It wasn't so hard making it over that hill, now was it.
Belated thanks! Naw, it wasn't hard at all, I've got this getting older thing down.
Have a good b-day yourself on Saturday!
