Yeah, my vanilla Stolichnaya is fucking swill.

Joan and garbon are the reason President Donald Pleasance built that wall.

garbon is a founding member of the ersatz champagne designation club, as far as I am concerned he is a fellow traveler to your sasparilla-and-rum-and-cherry-liqueor with string cheese crowd.

I am the vinous Jeremiah, a lone prophet shaking my fist at the corruption that surrounds me.

Yeah, well, now you know how I feel about production design, Adam-hater.

Most people I encounter in real life consider me a cheese snob.

Cal, Wags, is this true? 

Yes, it's true that I have broken bread with Tim on numerous occasions, but I don't recall him ever eating cheese.  I also don't recall him ever eating Velveeta, if that helps.

Is this the return of the British disease.

Have you read the Economist article about inflation explaining Britain's superior performance in employment to the US?  If not, i strongly urge you to do so.

Dear Journal,


This is the 18th hour of power loss since the ice storm ravaged us, leaving behind nothing but destruction under the glazed beauty, and I fear this is my last entry.  Tensions are high here at the camp, and members of the party have begun to turn on one another since the supply of downloaded Law & Order episodes had been exhausted much earlier than expected, and rationing was foolishly not considered.

While the generator gives us enough power for the critical systems, it does not provide enough to juice media, and we are forced to interact.


The elderly have proven remarkably resilient during this crisis, but it is only a matter of time before they fade, and the cat watches for signs of weakness, and waits.

Dear Journal,

As the roads have become impassable, potable water has been in short supply.  With the added vexation of all this fresh snow, I fear our drinking water will soon be gone. 
I may be forced to drink my own urine.

By the 3rd day of the ice storm power outage a few years ago, I was ready to knaw off my own feet out of boredom.

Man, I'm glad I live in God's country.

Looks like I may soon be on my own again after 9 years of being perfectly happy together. 
How did this happen?
