Nooooo, I liked them as a couple. They both seemed so nice. A little dim, but nice. And kind of golden and shiny, too.

Sorry but this couple was meant to be. The children will be perfect.

Pitt, 41, and Aniston, 35, have been together since being set up on a blind date in 1998.

How is that possible, at that point in their careers. Unless they were both, in fact, blind?

Me too!

On this, the boringest day in FB history, I thought it appropriate to make a somber announcement. I have given it a lot of thought and have decided to retire from the internet-style Lawtalker lawyer chatting boards. I've learned a lot, I've laughed a lot, but ultimately, I believe it is time to move on. I will miss sharing my musical and grammatical insights and getting updated daily about who is sick and with what disease they have been stricken. And I will always have sweet memories of Friday Flame Wars and The Daintiest Petunia. Thanks to everyone for everything.

Peace out.

I was distinguishing pinot noir that is Burgundy (i.e.: from Burgundy) from pinot noir that is not. The stuff that is not is of significantly poorer in quality to that which is, notwithstanding the hype about how US wines are just as good as the French now. Or, what Ollie said.

FWIW, "white Burgundy" tends to be less over-oaked than CA chardonay, too, which I like. (Not all white Burgundy is chardonnay, actually, but most of it is.) Chablis is a subset of white Burgundy - all Chablis is chardonnay, but not all chardonnay is Chablis. Chablis doesn't travel well, though, so it's not really worth discussing unless you are in Chablis.

Point taken, along with the conclusion that, when it comes to wine threads, I really have nothing to ass. From now on, I'll stick to martinis and other classic cocktails.

Austin Aitken, a paralegal, is suing NBC because an episode of Fear Factor made him throw up. In the episode contestants ate rats mixed in a blender. In the handwritten complaint he is asking for $2.5 M in damages. No word on whether PETA is joining the fun, maybe they don't care about rats.

I have it on good authority they don't really give a fat rat's ass.

Clearly not, given the rest of NBC's schedule. I, for my part, retched throughout "Committed," which I watched based on the lukewarm recommendation of the local paper's TV critic. He owes me a fucking apology. That sucked like a riptide.

No joke; the Charles Shaw shiraz is a seriously good $15 wine that's being sold for $2 a bottle. Comparied to the other CS wines, the shiraz is a standout and just as dirt cheap as the others. I'm no longer drinking water at work --- too expensive in comparison to Charles Shaw shiraz.

Hie thee to a Trader Joe's.

I heard all about this Two Buck Chuck thing for years and finally had a bottle somewhere. It was disgusting. All bitter and vinegary. Like someone had taken vodka and poured it into decent wine. But without flavor. Is that the same thing or is Charles Shaw different?

Bang on as to Kris. She is the best/hottest/intelligent/extraordinary class by herself reality contestant that I could actually see myself dating in real life ever.

3. They may just be trying to make her look as good as possible, but she's fucking cool. She'll be all "this experience is so touching and amazing and fun" when Kendra is complaining about bugs in "ghetto Africa" and Hayden and her breasts are nagging Aaron over something he has complete control over. She looked good playing volleyball.

I think Adam and Rebecca are just annoying. It's not just him that has problems; she seems like someone who wants to be able to belittle and control someone, and he's just codependent.

Freddy is such a freak, too. I was almost thinking that there was going to be a Real World-style ejection from the house.

This season is still good, though. All the teams that are left are pretty strong. Realistically, I think that any remaining team could win. A lot of if can be luck from here on out.

It's a scam to get your credit card number and then bills the shit out of it. It's not like hot chicks need to get on pay web sites to find guys to fuck.

"Two Buck Chuck" was originally a nickname for Charles Shaw, but some of the other discount stores decided to get into the $2 price point with their own house brands, and one of them actually used "Two Buck Chuck" on the label. (I think it was Beverages & More who pulled that particular stunt.) If what you drank actually had "Two Buck Chuck" somewhere on the label, it wasn't Charles Shaw, which is hardly Chateau Lafitte to begin with, but you're definitely getting more than $2 worth of wine with CS. With the other house brands, including those built on deceptive trademark abuse, YMMV.

BTW, I don't vouch for the Cabernet. It's the shiraz I recommend as a value at 200 cents. At that price, there's no excuse for drinking water.

ETA: It was BevMo.

• Not to be outdone by Tracier joe's, the Beverages & more! discount liquor chain has introduced its own version of Charles Shaw wine. The name? You guessed it: Two Buck Chuck. (Is it possible to get your proverbial pants sued off for ripping off a nickname? If so, we suspect the Bronco folks are already on it.) We couldn't help wondering how the BevMo wine compares to the original TBC, so we forked over two bucks for a bottle of the Chardonnay flavor. Unfortunately, this Two Buck Chuck is everything you remember hating about California Chardonnay--sweet, flabby and oakier than a cork forest. Maybe they should change the name to Two Buck Suck....

I won't bother linking the original article, because I don't want to further dignify a wine review that refers to Chardonnay as a "flavor."

Not a movie quote, and you've outed yourself as not having been added as a member of Str8's "friends only" Live journal. If you were "in" you'd know he overheard Chris Penn tell Michael Madsen that, last month- at Nine Thirty- the new Nathan, Calamaro and Posniak (think Tengu, Paladar and Naciona) vehicle (930 Hilgard Ave.). Of course Chris said "Mr. Blonde" not paigow- but same dif.

Oh. you're from Texas and never even heard of 9:30? Well....after renovation rumors circled for months, hot restaurateurs Alan Nathan, Rick Calamaro and Anton Posniak's transformation of the former Nuevo Latin spot Mojo began. A snug, bright dining area designed to complement an adjacent hotel's forest-inspired bar opens onto a flora-filled cobblestone courtyard with intimate tables, cabanas and cushioned benches. Chef Kelly Courtney (Chicago's Mod) crafts breakfast, lunch and dinner menus featuring seasonal American fare with local and organic highlights. Of course, Penn does not order off the menu- and str8 typically opts for the daily risotto special.
