11672. Magoseph - 10/14/2004 8:31:43 PM Another reason why I didn’t watch the debate is that it is just too hard to be in the same room with Flexy. His comments and outbursts of glee are not welcome. To tell the truth, I can't stand it when someone is being humiliated publicly. Never mind if I dislike intensely the person, I don't like to see that. 11673. angel-five - 10/14/2004 11:11:18 PM You mean 'northern Rhone' isn't a variety of Boone's? 11674. Ms. No - 10/15/2004 12:49:30 AM Aw, come on! You mean nobody rides the Night Train anymore? 11675. wonkers2 - 10/15/2004 1:38:33 AM Thanks, Judith and everyone. We are very happy. Maybe we'll have grandchildren, after all, one of these days. 11676. Ulgine Barrows - 10/15/2004 4:42:42 AM tastes like piss, I know this well.
My son can't aim, and I aim to make him clean the toilet tomorrow. 11677. Ulgine Barrows - 10/15/2004 4:44:29 AM And I hope he brings home some good friends to us in our dotage.
I liked reading about your kids marrying. 11678. wonkers2 - 10/15/2004 4:44:57 AM Paint a fly in the center of the bowl. Or a bullseye. 11679. Ulgine Barrows - 10/15/2004 4:51:51 AM Hmm, we had some paper targets when he was 4 to 5.
I think a 10-yr-old who can't aim is fighting about something else.
I'll go into the old folks home fighting, you know. 11680. concerned - 10/15/2004 6:11:56 AM Re. 11665 -
You don't get it, do you, AC? 11681. concerned - 10/15/2004 6:26:16 AM Hmmm. Who to believe? These french wine growers or AC?

Yum in my tum
C'mon 11684. Ulgine Barrows - 10/15/2004 7:51:27 AM Exchange rate, go for it 11685. alistairconnor - 10/15/2004 11:03:45 AM OK, OK, let's do it to the hilt!
Simonnnet is also the sole producer for the bottle fermented Crémant de Bourgogne in Chablis - a skill that dates back the heydays of the Sparkling Chablis.
I entertained but dismissed the idea that there might be some Crémant de Bourgogne produced within the Chablis appellation, (which might be termed, improperly, sparkling Chablis) because I had never heard of such a thing. In fact, there is indeed one winemaker who makes one.
Technically, this confirms my assertion that there is no such thing as a sparkling Chablis. I will give you credit for knowing that there used to be such a thing (I had no idea you were so old!)
... so let's call it a draw.
-- any remaining bottles of sparkling Chablis would be quite undrinkable by now. (probably taste like piss actually) 11686. neato - 10/15/2004 11:38:59 AM Non Non Non! Alistair wins. Heydays does it! 11687. angel-five - 10/15/2004 2:01:56 PM Sure, sure, sure. But can they make a sparkling MD 20/20? 11688. wonkers2 - 10/15/2004 2:19:17 PM $2-buck Chuck with soda water. 11689. angel-five - 10/15/2004 2:44:20 PM Y'know, I have yet to try any two buck Chuck. Someone gave me a bottle for that express purpose (of course, they are a proponent of it) but some foul bastard guzzled it one night before I got to it. 11690. neato - 10/15/2004 3:16:46 PM Can someone tell an ignorant antipodean what a 2 buck chuck is? 11691. angel-five - 10/15/2004 3:49:23 PM Charles Shaw wine, which is sold at Trader Joe's for $2.00, is a wine that is often remarked to be of a much higher order than the price tag implies. All the people I know who claim to like it are cheap bastards, though.
