Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Okay, so I'm about 15 minutes into LoneStar and, wait, he seems to be a bigamist. I'm all for the (fictional) con, but I can't like a protagonist who's got two - wives or fiancees or girlfriends, whatever, who clearly don't know about each other.

Also, he's not all that cute.

...oh, look, he's faithful to both of them. Well, that makes it okay, then.

OMG, I'm invisible to the hivemind. Where shall I get my answers? Ogodogodogodogod.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't drink wine.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What should I get. Wine -- I'm thinking about a $25 bottle. Beer? Er...the sky's the limit, I guess.

There's so much to choose from!

Coming from England I think she'd probably like an IPA or something darker. You'd probably be fine getting any kind of copper colored ale.

Here are the winners from the Great American Beer Festival.

Scroll down and check out some of their winners among Pale Ales or Indian Pale Ales.

As for red wine, I don't like Merlot (too wimpy), prefer Zinfandel or Cab, and I've always found Pinot to taste like bananas. I also really like Northern Italian reds, like Docletta or Barbera.

Ravenswood is probably best known for their Vintner's Blend cheaper wines, but they do make super delicious Single Vineyard wines like their Dickerson.

Should be under $25.

Sorry Cindy -- also a non-wine-drinker here.

Sharktopus is rather much of a landshark.

I'll have to go to the liquor store and see if the have the Vampire wine in. I think it's actually from Transylvania, and it's pretty good, to this deeply cheap, uneducated palate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow, that would make vacuuming fun....

I don't drink wine either. My BFF likes Bitch wine. But she smokes like the proverbial chimney, so her palate is probably not terribly discerning.
