Les Caves du Vatican.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

Sorry, obscure Andr Gide reference.

 

[Thor]

Does the Vatican have a wine cellar?

I'm sure you can read all about it in Dan Brown's upcoming book.

Religious fanaticism can be an ugly thing once you put it in conflict.

Why don't they just say so?

So did you eat your hat? And does that mean that you're going to let your hair grow?

In celebration of Memorial Day, the Chief Wine Critic Employer
calls attention to some newly published standards of conduct for wine writers.

Saturday wasn't that long ago, Eden.

I'm still running Saturday 1.0, Scott.

-Eden (it's tough to keep up with you these days - are you at Bolinas or already out at the Hamptons?)

Interesting that wine critics are presumed to be male.

I'm in the Bo where we instituted a ban on public mention of hedge funds, investment bankers, and Bernie Madoff. In the Hamptons people just can't seem to talk about anything else.

You mean except for the part where he specifically mentions the female independent contractor?

Let's not burden the world with parsing for political correctness.

Watch out, Buster, or you'll find yourself in my prayers.

I tripped a bit in my reading when he referred to critics' "wives." Anyhow, it's a funny document--Himself is still pure, but his hirelings maybe not. It's hard to discern the principle that informs that other than ego.

But whatever.

Where is the public caning? I was promised caning. The crowds want blood.

 

[David M. Bueker]

You'll have to read the other threads (on eGobsofhedonisticfruit.com) for the caning. Actually it was more like overcooked angel hair pasta whipping, but that's pretty much all there is at this point.

 

[mlawton]

Guess I won't be witnessing the caning, then. Maybe I'll just have to discuss Ovechkin with Joe Perry again to see blood.

 

[David M. Bueker]

Ovechkin? Oh the guy who is playing golf now. Got it.
