One of my biggest regrets about the loss of Therapy's archives was the loss of Zul's brilliant lexical analysis of WA bloviation. Well, that and your Loire reports, of course...

I was recently taken to task for not being able to identify the "cola" descriptor for Pinot Noir as I have no real idea what Coke or Pepsi et al. taste like.
Not even cola-flavored Haribo?!

Couldn't you knock back a sip or two in the interest of taste literacy? I think those beverages are available for about a dollar.

Bull! You needn't be so sheepish about admitting it. She's just trying to get your goat so you get your gander up, and you're trying to duck it like a chicken.originally posted by Rahsaan:

I've never come across beef's blood in real life (except when cowering in fear as I pass a butcher's shop), so I couldn't say.

On the contrary, I love to hog the spotlight; I never get boared by it. You know, there's always something to horse around with (not Summerian, but that's for the Belgians -- is the Fish still with us?)
