I just wanted to share this, okay? My local wine guy is always drunk, offering customers glasses of wine as they walk in. It’s like a giant fucking party, attended by a bunch of fucking idiots who can’t hold their grape. This guy is notorious for selling me bad wine. Sometimes I think he does it on purpose, just to injure me. The other day I was going to buy one of my favorite brands, Caymus, which usually retails for about $70-$150, depending on the vintage. This guy, incredulously, talked me out of it, saying “Caymus is terrible, especially the 2012. Here take this instead.”
Me, being a creature (No Lagoon) of suggestion, I took his advice and bought his alternative $70 wine. The result was good. However, it wasn’t as good as Caymus. Who the fuck doesn’t like Caymus? I mean, really? I did manage to shame his palette and mock him for the duration of my visit.
Futures are higher this morning and MCD is leading the charge. Apparently, their new rat sandwich is all the rage in Bangalore. The denizens of that cesspool have been eating rat since the beginning of civilization. I am sure MCD can sell them some and bank a profit, no? That’s the problem with MCD: they’re too nice of an evil corporation. If I was selling meat at MCD, I’d sell all sorts of meat, in all sorts of fucked up places in the world. Hell, you could probably sell human burgers in Shanghai.
Look you, enough of the blogging and the reading. “The Fly” is busy.

If we were all being honest here…I’m sure everyone would agree that the big mac is a spectacular dish. The specials sause cannot (repeat) cannot be beat.
Only when one is a stoned 16-year-old. Or was that a Whopper. Can’t remember that far back.
2012 was a really good vintage for Napa.
I agree with you. My favorite cabs are Caymus, Shafer, and Joseph Phelps.
I was about to list some cabs when I noticed that Mr. Phelps is no longer with us.
“Well, they believe that when they have enumerated all the combinations of chemicals that can come together to make a truly fine wine — and they reckon that there are about nine billion of them — God’s purpose will be achieved. The human race will have finished what it was created to do, and there won’t be any point in carrying on. Indeed, the very idea is something like blasphemy.”
“Then what do they expect us to do? Commit suicide?”
“There’s no need for that. When the list’s completed, God steps in and simply winds things up… bingo!”
