Not only that, but you are the blog moderator. hahahaha
you're so pun-y.
Kids are in bed and Nate is bored 
I try to moderate the moderation. Last weekend I tried it with margaritas, and since that was so successful, I'll try it this weekend with seven and seven.
So how much is a moderate amount of evil? I suppose molesting only a few children a year is OK?
Whoa. That's pretty harsh dude.
Just fooling around. Are you being serious?
Insert-Name-Here is probably a tee totaler. No alcohol is almost too much for him. That'd be my guess.
There has been a lot of death, mayhem and crime committed while under the influence by people that "thought" they were being moderate. But Clint Eastwood was right. A man's got to know his limitations. If you can't run with the big dogs you got to stay on the porch. I've been stayin on the porch lately. Turns out I haven't missed all that much.
Actually, if you've been reading my posts on ATF night, you would see that I am quite fond of Australian wines. Lately though I have been consuming boxed "local" varieties to save money.
The moderation-in-all-things commandment is one of my favorite topics to deflate, wherever I find it.
I am still waiting for someone here to say "you can't legislate morality" or some other brainless aphorism.
Overall, I would say that any philosophy that will fit on a bumper sticker is brainless.
13…14….15. Hmmm, I guess that would fit on a bumper sticker too.
How about: Consistency is over-rated.
I knew INH wasn't a loony.
Good to see that someone else is takin' the plunge into the world of boxed wines.
I have been really impressed so far...
Do you have a particular Aussie that ya favor INH?
I am still a big fan of Jacob's Creek.
On the Aussie wines. The July edition of Bon Appetit ( I so love this magazine) is talking about a return (I personally had no idea they existed previously, but this is not surprising according to the article) of the sparkling shiraz. I'm very intrigued. I love to have a sparkling red (Lambrusco usually) with pizza, but these look to be a little pricey.
Okay, I posted on Aussie wines with regards to reemergence of the sparkling shiraz and I don't know what happened to it. Perhaps it got posted inappropriately elsewhere, oh well. I'm very intrigued by this wine, but have yet to find it although my understanding is that it is a bit pricey.
Recent wine list includes:
Yellowtail
The Little Penguin
Alice white
Chardonneys and Merlots.
Among boxed wines: whatever is on sale.
Bon Appetit
Sounds French... when they stop eating snails, I might listen to thier advice on food.
And now it's there. I'm so confused.
It's not a french magazine.
So it's a pretentious French Wanna-be. Even worse.
Yes, because english uses no "foreign" words at all. Oh wait, yes it does.
If they are "english" they aren't "foreign", nest pas?
I certainly don't think we can take the advice of the English on good food...
Well, THAT goes without saying.
Well see... if we are writing off a food magazine because it references France... then it stands to reason that we'd have to write off every english titled magazine as well.
Can't go down that road.
I am for using a language to communicate. English works pretty well for most complex ideas (good enough to put a man on the moon, hoover damn, atomic bomb, etc, not good enough for commie philosophy--could be a pattern). I proclaim that English is a suitable language for all really useful discourse. That is why people in other countries learn english without us having to make them do it. A patriotic American magazine would call itself "Eat Hearty" and would specialize in recipies about preparing steak (bovine meat). And nothing that we in the modern world would normally throw away at the slaughter house.
Speaking of French tech achievements... they just invented the jumbo jet. 30 years after us. YEEHA! way to join the 20th century mon amis.
"A patriotic American magazine would call itself "Eat Hearty"..."
Before meals, the French say "Bon appetit". In Germany, it's "Mahlzeit" or "Guten Appetit". In Belgium and the Netherlands, it's "Smakelijk eten", and Italy has "Buon appetito". Many other countries have similar sayings.
I have never heard a common phrase like these said before meals in America. Are there regional phrases, perhaps, of which I am unaware?
A quick search found this on Omniglot:
English: Bon appetit! Tuck in! Get stuck in! Eat already! Enjoy! Enjoy your meal! Happy eating! Get your laughing gear round this!
Must really be referring to England, as I have never heard most of those at all, and none used commonly around the US.
"both the D9 and D12 rifles are classified by the ATF as "Short barrel rifles" and the appropriate license and/or tax stamp must be acquired before purchasing"
Nate,
what does this entail?
Not a lot really. You're just paying a tax for the privilage of owning the weapon. Not applying for any license.
English food isn't bad compared to Scottish food. I mean, come on, haggis??
What about the Norweigans eating lye soaked fish and calling it food. Every year at Christmas it is on our table. Now, I don't eat seafood of any kind, but I'm not sure this can even be called seafood or food at all for that matter!
Lutkefish? And what is it doing on YOUR table? Does Vox eat it, you know sort of a macho thing?!?!?
No, Vox doesn't eat it and it would NEVER show up on MY table. But Christmas parties in the family are another matter. It's even rumored that some of my uncles LIKE it! Can you imagine?
Moderation? I have a hard time defining that word to apply to my life. Go hard or go home, that's me. 150%, I say.
