Nothing beats homemade gnocchi.

Thank you. I'll concede that a pun based on a Seinfeld line isn't terribly original, but who needs a schtick when you have orgasmic gnocchi?

You're suggesting he use the passive voice?

Horrors!

Seems a bit superfluous too, but that's our Flower!

I strongly doubt that robustpuppy's objection to the use of the passive voice had anything to do with the superfluousity of adding the word "achieved," particularly given that the word addition cannot really accurately be described as superfluous.

And with that sentence, I am struck with the realization that I have nothing further to add to any threads in this forum, and have begun posting solely to hear the pleasing sound of the tapping of my fingers on the keyboard. Thanks for everything. Save me a seat by the pool, Penske.

Once, I went to retrieve a drunk relative from a wedding, but that was an unusual trip.
I liked the Heldsberg (is that how its spelled?) Hotel. Nice joint.

It would probably have been more amusing if I were baked or dosed or something. It looked like a great placed to stare at trees and thorw a frisbee, but after about three hours of touring with my wife and her friends, all I had was a mild sunburn and bad wine buzz.

Do you like the wine buzz? I love the champagne buzz. I also love its taste. But I just cannot get into the wine. I dig red, but I can only have three or four glasses, and they give me a slow lousy dead feeliong which puts me to sleep. White wine I just can't drink.

There is nothing more boring than old-skool posters who won't stay retired. And Penske peed in the pool, just so you know.

I know. That's why I added "too."

Apropos of nothing, now that "Sideways" is all the rage every never-had-an-opinion-about-wine-no-wine-drinking-know-nothing motherfucker I go to dinner with wants to order a bottle of pinot noir. Pinot noir sucks.

This should be helpful to every never-had-an-opinion-about-wine-no-wine-drinking-know-nothing motherfucker on the FB who does not want to appear to be such.
