You are a real connosewer.

ObSki: As no one else seems so motivated, I shall take it upon myself to
confirm that the skiing has been, is, and apparently will be, quite good
around here.

Yep. One leaves you broke, the other leaves you with $198 to buy 99 more
bottles and throw a big party for the few remaining ski bums [cf other
thread.]

And some of us can't tell the difference and don't care.

As my cheapskate brother puts it: wine, beer, whiskey, cigarettes,
coffee, champaign, etc. The first time you try any of them you don't
like it. You have to *acquire* a taste for any of those things.

And if you're going to go to the time and effort of acquiring a taste
for something, you might as well acquire a taste for the cheap stuff.

I'm still trying to find a flaw in his logic....

I have made my own "wine" that way. However, my wife heard I liked 2-
buck-chuck, so she bought two _cases_ from Trader Joe's. we have no
need for faux-wine these days

Report back. *When Geronimo opens (I don't think I ever skied it back
when I was going there instead of SS) I think I'll give BM a shot. *If
the trams take only 10 minutes and I get tired early anyway, I might as
well give it a shot.

The shuttle buses are quick, but there may be a wait, or no room late
in the day.

I never had to acquire a taste for sex.

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me that a two dollar hooker is
just as good as a two hundred dollar hooker.

Nobody has said it.

Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares.

Merry Christmas everyone. God bless us all.

Works in a mass quantity theory to save money and have more to consume
but the good stuff tastes better

Sounds like a real drunk to me. You gotta be desperate to drink
Manischewitz.

ObSki: As no one else seems so motivated, I shall take it upon myself to

ObRSA: As no one else seems so motivated, I will condemn Bob Thompson
and Richard Henry for stalking me to my HIGH SCHOOL alumni committee,
repeating their lies, and bragging about it right here in the
connosewer. No surprise Dickless Lloyd has no comment on the stalking
his friends continue to do in the real world.

Nobody has ****ed your mother or Bev ****ley, so nobody knows what a
two buck hooker is like.
Indeed, having never bought a hooker in my life, wouldn't know about
either. Only losers have to buy pussy, loser.

I'm amazed your wife did, and didn't lose the taste immediately. Must
be that two buck chuck. A couple bottles, at least.
