Veuve Clicqot? Or Dom Perignon?
** Colibri** Will $2.25 an hour allow the average citizen a moderately comfortable standard of living an urban center?
[sub]Veuve Clicqot? Or Dom Perignon? Whatever you can grab, elfje-just don’t let the imperalist bastards catch you or they’ll toss us both out the door and I’m still hungry
And, you are absolutely right. I’d completely forgotten about mother of pearl scoop thingys. :o Still, like jlzania, I do feel for the poor lil pearls what got to give up they mamas so us folks what got access to Beluga caviar can enjoy it. I’ll check my mom’s good flatware to see if she’s got a mother of pearl scoop thingy, and if so, I’ll contribute it to the party. I hope she don’t catch me messin’ in her stuff ‘cause she might give me a spankin’ or somethin’. [giggle] As far as why there are Japanese folks writin’ about French cheese, I don’t know. I guess they like French cheese a whole lot. [shrug] I’m still trying to wrap my mind around what cheese would go well with rum, and I confess I’m at a loss since I don’t drink rum because it’s too sweet, and I absolutely can’t stand sweet alcoholic drinks [shudder]. I imagine it’d have to be a very salty cheese so that the combination of salty and sweet comes out. But then I guess it just depends on what taste folks is lookin’ for.
Speakin’ of cheese, Collounsbury, don’t you let them panty shields bother you none. The next time they bring up war profiteerin’ and stuff, you just start talkin’ about cheese and be passionate about that subject. That should take care of everything right nicely.
Biggirl, I don’t understand why you’re scared of Sugarlump. 
Underneath all of that big temper and stuff he’s such a sweetie, and he’s no more a war profiteer than I am. Now watch him come in here and cuss me out for sayin’ that. He does have a reputation he has to uphold for being cranky and such like. I say go ahead and give him a big ol’ virtual hug. [giggle]
Otay, so where’s that bottle of wine I had. It’s got to be around here somewhere. Has anyone seen that bottle of wine I was drinkin’ from?
“I’m still trying to wrap my mind around what cheese would go well with rum”
Venezuelan beaver cheese perhaps?
I think that my place in the party would be below the tables feeding of the scraps.
Despite my affection for my region, I loath and despise sheep and goats. Creatures of the devil I tell you, wierd little eyes and all that. On principal I refuse to eat them.
Now, I need to note I was not bothered in the least – except for the truly atrocious poetry – but felt like sharing my new found status as War Profiteer. You may recall that my long time aspiration is Imperialist Colonial Administrator who is always drunk and goes to work in his pajamas, but War Profiteer is not bad.
What kind of imperialist, or cheese aficionado for that matter, doesn’t like chevre? You are leaving out entire categories and realms of cheeses! Impostor!
Instruments of the devil I tell you. Hate the beasts.
If man is 5
If man is 5
If the Devil is 6
If the Devil is 6
Then God is 7
Then God is 7
This Monkey’s gone to Heaven!
This Monkey’s gone to Heaven!
Look Coll, I know my post isn’t really relevant in any meaningful way, but it’s always great to throw in an ad hoc Pixies reference, (and by the way if you’ve never heard the song “This Monkey’s Gone to Heaven” then do yourself a HUGE favour and download it today) if only to honour your assertions regarding goats.
Interestingly, of all the worlds sporting teams, of all the world’s fiersome sporting mascots etc, I’m pretty sure that a goat has never been used as a team emblem so you might be onto something!
Other than that, I haven’t had the pleasure of conversing with you lately, so Hail Fellow Well Met and that sort of thing.
P.S. Bonk the VIP’s daughter yet?
Good lord no. Boinking her means marriage, and I am highly adverse to doing that again.
She left you for your pedestrian tastes in liquor and cheese, didn’t she?
Wait wait wait. Those lyrics sound awfully familiar. Doesn’t Loser by Beck have the lyrics “If man is 5 and the devil is 6, then that must make me 7”?
I don’t understand. What atrocious poetry? Do you mean on top of calling you a “War Profiteer,” them folks recited bad poetry to you? That must have been some evening indeed. Actually, I’ve never heard you talk about aspiring to be an drunken, pajama-clad “Imperialist Colonial Administrator.” I’d love to see you go to work in your pajamas. [giggle]
But, Collounsbury, you never answered my question about cheese. What’s your favorite cheese, and what cheese goes best with rum? Come on. Help educate us Julia Child wannabees in case we ever encounter an entertaining situation where we need to know the best complements for cheese and rum.
Ale, hon, come on out from under the table. There’s plenty of food for everyone. Now tell me what’s Venezuelan beaver cheese? I’ve never heard of that before.
After several rums, almost every cheese goes well with rum, except blue cheese and any sort of goat or sheep product, although this more on principal.
Well given that Loser was released early 90’s and that “Monkey” by The Pixies was released off Doolittle in the late 80’s and that The Pixies were a huge influence on a shitload of artists the world over (including Kurt Cobain) I’d respectfully suggest that our good man Beck lifted the lyric as a form of homage I rather think.
It’s a hi-jack I know, but I’ll stake my bottom dollar that neither a goat nor a sheep ever appeared on the cover of ANY of The Pixies or Beck’s albums - thereby reiterating Coll’s inarguable estimation of said vermin.
mm, here in Ireland we’ve enough sheep, I call them the blondes of the animal kingdom, cos bejaysus they’re stupid.
And they never seem to notice the weather. Somehow they seem impervious to it. I confess I like goats, they stink to high heaven, indeed they do, but I like the way they’re so sturdy and can climb rocky slopes so easily.
What poetry are you referring to, anyway? I didn’t read any in your OP.
Yes, I do recall you longstanding ambition to be an Imperialist Colonial Administrator, and sheesh, since US is starting to radiate some Imperial tendencies, and now seems to have acquiered its first Colony, all we need to do now is find tou an Admin post and you’re settled.
Hey, I can get you a pair of pajamas. With sheep on em. Yes?
evil grin
See, yet more reasons to dislike the beasts.
I am not inclined to doggerel, leaving that to the less competent such as december.
However, I had to listen to some idiotic, if quite earnest, anti-globalization/anti-war/anti-NAFTA poetry, or so they called it. One of the shields was a Canadian and had some bug in her bonnet about NAFTA.
Working on this aspect.
Perhaps I shall have a Baghdadi ISP in about a year.
Darnit, and you didn’t get her e-mail address? That bit would go over splendidly here at the office; we do lots of TN (Trade NAFTA) visas. I think your Canadian was just bitter because we’re stealing all their techies and Ph.D. scientists. Greener grass and all.
If you can recall the poetry from the rum-soaked slush of your brain, please do post it here.
