Reminds me of when I did language immersion in Germany. We found some 4,- DM plonk but justified it that “it’s French and has a duke on the label – it has to be good”
The next morning we looked like the photo above, but not as bad as the guys who bought the wine in Tetra-Paks
So Boo, it lools like you were under the impression that drinking makes it more fun. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I’d turn on the TV for the games, but there’s somebody passed out on the couch (Dennis maybe?).
My housemate didn’t go out last night, he was grumping about the food I made and set out on trays (“Nobody’ll eat it, nobody’ll come by, yada,yada,yada”). It looks like he and a few others ate most everything and made a big dent in the brandy. When I got back last night they were partying and had on silly movies. I went to bed.
That German woman in her 70s at Zebulon’s wore me out once she found out I could jitterbug and knew the Lindy moves. Her beautiful well grown granddaughters were horrified to find out that Granny knew the dirty bop and had a bunch of ripe stories from New Orleans. None of them could dance hardly a’tal. Partying is not the same as consumption.
Yahoo – Bush Defends Domestic Spying Program
SAN ANTONIO – President Bush on Sunday strongly defended his domestic spying program, saying it’s a limited initiative that tracks only incoming calls to the United States.
“It’s seems logical to me that if we know there’s a phone number associated with al-Qaida or an al-Qaida affiliate and they’re making phone calls, it makes sense to find out why,” Bush said. “They attacked us before, they’ll attack us again.”
(snip)
The president said that he is conscious of people’s civil liberties.
“This is a limited program designed to prevent attacks on the United States of America and, I repeat, limited,” he said. “I think most Americans understand the need to find out what the enemy’s thinking.”
I thought the picture meant the guy’s wife/his marriage was giving him a headache. What with the wedding band being so prominent and all. What with it looking like an early 60s era photo and all.
Guess I better go have a taste of the hair of the dog myself.
Well, that’s a fine how-do-ya-do. And what happened to Happy New Year?!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, BOO!
Which games are you watching today?
Is anyone else watching the Seahawks (who already have home field advantage throughout the playoffs — chest bursts with pride)?
I have a choice between the Carolina-Falcons game and the Chiefs-Bengals game.
I’m not too interested in either of them.
The Giants are in the playoffs, and that is all I ask each season. At least, give me one playoff game to watch.
The Bears don’t scare me. But the Seahawks do.
and chose all the teams with the uniforms I liked best as the ones who would win the games, and I won!
Kind of like picking wine by the art on the label. 🙂

they did that on an old episode of What’s Happening, and it led them to pick the Bucs over the Oakland Raiders, with disastrous results.
30 years later the Bucs are good and the Raiders stink.
Boo, do you know the politics of the Giants quarterback?
I was just recalling that the Seahawks QB (Hasselback) is a rightwing Bush lover. I might jump ship if the Giants have Democrat QB.
I don’t know. The Manning family is southern and seems fairly conservative, but they never discuss politics, as far as I know.
and that is the finest reason for a girl to like a team that exists!
Me too!
And see those beaks? Boo’s Giants had better watch out. (We have big talons too.)
So Boo, it lools like you were under the impression that drinking makes it more fun. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
