I do, because they sometimes provide information about the scene which is not presented by the uploader (e.g., the actress' name), and there are occasional witticisms that make me laugh.

Norwegians are a truly ornery lot.

I just read an article about "The 10 greatest Norwegian inventions" and among them are such important breakthroughs as the paper clip, the cheese grater and a ski binding.

In the comment section, an oil rig worker proudly noted that the biggest man made structure ever created is the gas platform, "Troll A".

Well, curling and porn have a lot in common - they both depict attempts to get one's rocks off.

Not a single Spanish bottle? For shame, Minsky, for shame...

The cellar list doesn't include anything that I purchase for drinking within 90 days.  Including those would increase the Germany/Alsace count, as well as Spanish and Italian white, Loire, Argentine malbec, red Zin, some New Zealand and South Africa.  As you know Rias Baixas makes regular appearances at my table, but I tend to drink shortly after buying, not cellar.

Spanish reds can be very good but IMO they are suffering from Napa syndrome - the hype has driven prices too far ahead.

That's way too many Bordeaux, and not enough Loire. 

Where are the Touraine, the Saumur-Champigny?

There are 3 saviennieres  . . .
I do drink a decent amount of sancerre, vouvray and Chinon but as per above this doesn't tend to get cellared.  I did put in an order for some Huet wines a couple months ago but they were sold out.

Loire wines don't have a strong brand in the US and thus selection tends to be limited.

the Saumur-Champigny?

Everytime I drink Saumur-Champigny I think of these guys

I think the really hilarious part is when she thinks it's possible for Muslim nations to win a war.
