I love when I get so much wasabi in my mouth that it makes my ear drums hurt. Ever get that? I always make sure to do it at least once every time I have sushi. Some places the wasabi paste is so crappy it takes a teaspoon of it to get that effect. One place it wasn't possible to do it at all. I was not impressed.

I've never noticed the pain beyond what it does to my sinuses... but I do like to take an entire fat gob of it, put it in my mouth and start rapidly inhaling and exhaling.

Hurts so good.

Actually, "porcupine" is a slang term for a "loose woman" where I grew up. It goes something like ... "If she had as many sicking out of her as she has had sticking into her, she would look like a porcupine".

When very drunk, alone, and horny perhaps it is best to step *away* from the computer and spend some quality time with yourself. Sheesh.

You actually have to remind yourself of this? I thought it was instinctual...one of those things passed down in racial memory since time immemorial.

guys...a wine expert on NPR (OK now the insults) actually said that there are rather good wines in screw top bottles these days...I still resist this notion but there you gave it...

There are some good wines with synthetic corks, but most of them still resist the stigma of the screwtop. Only snobbery keeps the cork in place...

Yeah, screw tops are getting more popular in Australia. They've done studies that show the quality is better then with corks, easier to control what happens to the wine.

NST- step away from the chocolate.

NTS- think twice before hiring someone to 'give them a chance', and before hiring someone because you feel you need to hire someone 'right now'. And next time check refs better!

1)You were the one who bought it (much less supplied it to minors), and we all have to start somewhere.

2) AGAIN?! That's, what, three bottles this week? and all consumed between the hours of 6 and 9 AM?
