[MrB]

“inferior or cheap wine.”

Oh, this is GREAT!

“Waiter, I’ll have the Sauvignon Plonk, please”

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

A+++
Excellent! That will replace my usual comment when
tasting wine in a restaurant: “It was a good year—November!”

Extra credit to any of you (other) old-timers who can tell me why this picture is relevant to today's discussion.

[SoothingDave]

Cause it’s a frog and the French are also frogs.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Nice try.

[Darksheare]

Oh yes, the tales of the coffee holder are true.
It does happen.

I will be at the gym for a few hours. Will be back to grade your homework, on the off chance that you laggards will hand it in.

Likewise, routine care is not an insurable risk. You can fold that stuff into an insurance plan, and sometimes that might make sense: The people who are insuring you against the expensive proposition of breast cancer have a good incentive to throw breast exams into the “free” column — but surely, surely you sophisticated, self-actualized, read-my-Kristeva ladies don’t think that it’s actually free? The facts are: (1) Mammograms cost money; (2) somebody has to pay for them; (3) your insurance company is not run by people who love you. So, do the math.

I'm going to the Book for today's WFTD.
Matthew 7:3
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank(plonk) in your own eye?

[xsmommy]

there are so many morsels of deliciousness in that piece, it’s hard to say which is tastier! LOL!

I was going to pick out a nice bottle of wine for my father-in-law but he said not to bother as he’d as easily enjoy a bottle of plonk.

[mikrofon]

I thought that was his speech assistant — the Teleplonker

(NTBCW Earnest, Carney, Gibbs et al.)

[mikrofon]

“Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!”

[xsmommy]

[mikrofon]

LOL, are those the Salary “Cap” Twins ;?

RE Moulson, when he was in Buffalo the first time he seemed to have a genuine interest in being here, which probably helped in getting him back. Maybe they should have also tried to trade with NYI for Tavares – his Uncle John is a star on the local indoor Lacrosse team.
