Erica's Gift

Every year Eric has a bunch of us bloggers to his house to celebrate his birthday. Also my birthday and Jimbo's birthday. Jimbo may have farooking hair, but he is still older than I am.

Erica was nice enough to give me the presents pictured below.

Check out the wine. Old Fart. It's a grenache and syrah blend. In the middle is chocolate vodka and on the right is pomegranate vodka.

Update: Sorry. Teresa (the smart one) got me the chocolate vodka. So who got me the pomegranate vodka?

Wait a sec...a double Crippleanche in less than an hour? What are you trying to do, send me to an early grave? BTW, I don't think I gifted you with one of those, but I'm not sure which one...the Old Fart was definitely from me, though. And if there was a “Much Older, Stinkier [Beer] Fart” one, Jimbo, the MUCH OLDER half of the Elderly Brothers, would have to rent out a warehouse for the supply I'd no doubt feel compelled to get him.

Well, can I say in a very small voice that I got the chocolate vodka... Erica wouldn't remember that as she was only in the store with me when I got it.

Doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it. *grin*

No, it wasn't that! I don't even remember the thing *I* got him, because I was so enthusiastically swept up in the whole "Old Fart" thing...and, if you recall, I don't even remember which Single Malt I got Eric, except that I got the 12 year-old, and you got the 15. Also, after that night, I definitely think I fuct up a few brain cells, namely the ones conducive to retaining information.

Man!

With that trio, I'd *really* be blogging ... as in howling at the moon!

Better drink that chocolate vodka with CLEAR ice or Jimbo will have a fit.

Love fun wines! Gotcher Old Fart's Wife right here. A very nice Merlot, as I recall. This is a pic of the label I took back in July '06, along with another fun one, "Le Snoot"

You had my hopes up for just a second with whatever is off to the right.

Noted Denny and maybe you shouldn't send me emails asking me to post on your blog when your posts are low.

Posted by: Teresa on November 7, 2007 11:08 PM

Phillep - The stuff on the right is Aunt Jemima syrup.

Teresa - WTF? have you been drinking vodka again? What an imagination. In your dreams. I've never sent you emails asking you to post here. Your contributions are purely voluntary and they do make many readers laugh.

I love the fun stuff here, chocolate vodka? I'm gonna get that for my freind who is a vodka geek and a choco-holic. Who knew, GOC is rife with gift ideas? yay!
I know just what to send to Teresa. Sourpuss.
This isn't the first time that she posted that same dopey comment. Like you need to ask people to comment on your site? Pah-Shah!

Yea! Pshaw! :)

Posted by: DanS. on November 8, 2007 10:17 AM

My record for comments on one post is 145. Like I have to ask people to comment. Teresa is just whining again.

Posted by: Denny on November 8, 2007 12:08 PM

Yeah, I was just whining again :) You know me, just another Lib with some comman sense here to make you laugh. Too funny.

Posted by: Teresa on November 9, 2007 10:18 PM

Teresa
Whine at your group therapy already? You are not a Lib with Commie sense. Liberals run purely on emotions and not on reason. This is where you always bomb on your talking points...Sweetie, people really do care about you but you can't seem to stop with the negative bitching...that's not humourous. Go out for some drinks and maybe some salsa dancing. Blow off some steam for shit's sake?

Posted by: LisaKay on November 10, 2007 11:09 AM

Aw, now that really hurts Lisakay :) Sorry about my negative bitching about Dubya and the war in Iraq. I am just venting about how most American's feel. I promise to get all over that salsa dancing thingy. Bahahahaaa.
