YSaC, Vol. 800: You know, if you put enough sugar in this, it tastes just like Ginger Ale!
(Sorry for the late post. Forgot to hit the “post” button. Also showed up a full day early for an event this morning. Day is not off to a good start. – Dan)
shampain – $100
im trying to sell a bottole of dom perry yon it is brand new and its year is 1985 25 years old im not in to drink that im a beer fan my self but my number is ###-###-####
“Sir, I had one or two questions, I hope you don’t mind.”
“Well, actually, Lieutenant, I’m sort of busy.”
“Just a few questions. You say you have this bottole of dom perry over yon, is that right?”
“Yes, it’s just yonder.”
“I see, and it’s brand new, you said.”
“That’s right, officer, brand new.”
“But the date here says 1985.”
“Well, I posted the ad a little while ago…. it’s been waiting for someone to answer it.”
“So you’re saying you posted it in 1985?”
“That’s right.”
“OK, that’s just fine then.”
“Oh, just one more thing… What year was Craigslist invented again?”
Thanks for number 800, Kim!
Can’t leave him alone even for a couple of days. *shakes head*
I always count it a blessing when my hubby manages to keep both himself and the kiddo alive for more than 24 hours. It’s those small miracles we have to count on. 🙂
That’s the nice thing about being a chameleon, LL. If he breaks their tails off, they just grow new ones.
8) I looked around the Command Center ™ to see if I could figure out how to help, but I haven’t read that chapter yet in YSaC Secrets.
Huh – I had a bottle of Dumb Carry On last light, and it was delicious. Vintage year was 2015, so it was really new.
Welcome back, Llamanun. Bees be upon you!
Oops, wait a minute – hope you are having a good trip!
I am assuming (maybe too much credit?) he means unopened, but… why would you have to state that? Are there any Sparkmeisters out there selling opened and “not full” bottles?
*sip* “Hmm… nope, don’t like that one bit”
*pours glass out* “Gonna have to sell this on Craigslist”
If people are selling their unwashed wankrags, they’ll sell an opened bottle.
That’s actually a good price for a “bottole” of Dom, too bad it’s illegal to sell alcohol without a license.
Yeah, Sparky should have called it a rehoming fee.
So is champagne the new investment opportunity?
Sparky didn’t say whether it was Moët & Chandon, but $100 is a really cheap price for that new old Dom.
Is it still considered alcohol if it’s turned to vinegar?
That would be some pricey vinegar.
http://www.gourmetimportshop.com/100-Year-Il-Grande-Vecchio-Mussini-Modena-Balsamic-p/m194.htm
Holy crap … $500 for vinegar? That’s more than I paid for my new laptop.
I’ll take one Dan — suppose to be good on fruit
[vinegar corey]
Well, you can get champagne vinegar for $20-30 a bottle.
It has a very light acidity which is good with really ‘fresh’ tasting EVOO in dressings.
It’s alos an excellent deglaze for sautèed vegetables.
SJ, that Balsamic is very special. First off, it’s been aged so long, there’s likely not but half the barrel left. It will be as thick as molasses, which means you need but a few drops. Functionally, it is a rarity item like truffles or saffron. Whe it is available, it’s worth using. And not a couple “glugs” into the spagettio’s using, either.
[/corey]
I would buy $500 vinegar, but I won’t spend $500 on a dining table. I’ve really got to get my priorities organized.
Under a tablecloth, it’s hadr to tell a $200 table from a $2000 one.
But, it’s easy to tell when what’s served over that table cloth has been skimped upon unnecessarily.
Rick Bayless was on earlier, I want the salsa-based mac-n-cheese something firece right now.
I just had salsa based…uh…salsa and chips, on my $7 coffee table.
My only problem with your logic Cap’n, is that I hate table cloths.
Well, purely i nthe design sense, so do I; I prefer runners for accents. But not all do. And, given a choice of an ugly table or a PITA tablecloth, that’s not a big debate.
This is Rick’s “mac-n-cheese” recipe. All I’d need is good salsa and cheese–le sigh.
My coffee table was free. My dad made as a sort-of-newlywed. Has coins from SW Pacific amid mozsaic tiles.
(fixed broken link – Dan)
You said it was free–my next question was whether or not it was red.
Blue-green tiles in an irridescent sort of deep aquamarine.
Not for sale, either.
Could send you some un-used white squiggles, if you send me your bank information, first *innocent look*
Thank you, Dan.
I can see that he is out. Far out. Drink you beer and stop posting on the internet, Sparky.
I didn’t now that beer had started posting on Craigslist. That would explain a lot.
now = know
I feel extra smart today, Yessiree Bob.
Speeling errors are overlooked on your birthday.
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday! Let’s all have a shampain toast to kelli!
Not only that, but how buzzed are you to be able to type a CL ad, but not read the bottle you allege to have for sale?
25yo DP for $100? I’d totally be
taking advantage of the Sparkster’s stupiditysnapping that up![Champagne corey] The Class Six (Read ABC store for the civilian populace) (Or “Place where I buys my likker” if you’re candorman.) on base has a sale every fall to clear out the stuff that doesn’t sell very well during the year. Last fall I bought all their Moet & Chandon for what worked out to be $27.50 per bottle. Amazing gifts throughout the year. [/corey]
If you have a relatively large ABC store nearby, check if they have “The Chook”. It’s a sparkling shiraz (Read red wine champagne) from Australia. It’s very good.
Chook is so good in the summer for pairing with fowl and seafood.
“Ordinary folks” probably ought be protected from this, or it will wind up like fajitas, and a foodie fad which will ruin it for the rest of us forever after (le sigh, remembering mudbugs for 59¢/lb).
It wasn’t Chook but have had other sparking shiraz from Down Under; thumbs up.
Why the californians do not make more sparkling zinfandel, or even a nice ruby cabernet, confuses me.
Mind you, a decent sparkling pinon noir would be just the ticket for turkey.
The world has quite enough pedestrian sparkling chardonnay in it already.
Me thinks Sparkles has a bottle of Reunitti and an ink jet label maker.
Dude, what?
My self thinks your self should spend less time drinking beer fans and more time reading actual books, not “gentleman’s magazines”. Yeah, everyone knows you don’t buy them for the articles.
Warning, Potential Squick:
Since Sparq’ did not read the alleged bottle, one has to wonder if his, ah “gentleman’s magazines” are all on the intertubes?
When whoever he lifted that bottole from reads the ad, Sparky will be tasting some reelpain.
I just cannot help but read bottole as ‘bott hole’.
It’s disconcerting to have a mental picture of a robot bending over and it still costs you a $100.
Robot prostitution should be more heavily regulated by the government. We could tax that, you know.
Mental picture of a robot bending HIM over.
“Feel my shiny metal wrath, human!”
“Squeal like a rusty axle, human!”
Could be worse – it could have been a bot fly hole.
(I will spare everyone the video I found of a human bot fly removal – it was nasty.)
Bott Hole is the name of my Kraftwerk/Butthole Surfers cross-over project.
Bott hole is my Futurama spin off.
What the… oh wait, I see what you did there.
Took awhile for my slow brain…
Isn’t the word “Champagne” on the bottle?
Wouldn’t a beer fan just spray beer everywhere?
Or is it a cool refreshing mist?
You’d also think that the words ‘Dom Perignon’ would be on there somewhere, if that’s what it really is.
I don’t think he could see the label through his drunken stupor.
Well, since Dom Perignon is actually champagne, as opposed to sparkling wine from somewhere other than the Champagne region of France…yes, it would be on the bottle.
I think a beer fan would be just the thing to go with my budlightunblubler.
Will someone PLEASE tell me what movie the title’s quote is from? I have heard it before and I cannot come up with the name. And it WILL drive me to drink if I don’t figure it out.
TBS, I have a lovely bottole of Boone’s Farm Strawberry Whine from 2008, yours for $100. 8)
Does it come with a temperamental three year old because I cannot muster much more whine myself.
Oh! And I insist the wine be enclosed in a brown paper bag to be drunk straight from the bottle… for old times sake.
Fozzy Bear, possibly on the Muppet Show. 8) My researcher tells me.
YES!
The Great Muppet Caper movie! Thank you. I feel better now. Maybe I will celebrate with some Domingo Perry Ono. Know where I can get some?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EdlH9Dy9dM&feature=related&t=7m15s
Something with the Muppets, I think.
Edit: Jinx, Windy!
That’s why we MAKE the obscure references in the titles… if we can destroy just a small part of someone’s sanity, somewhere, for a little while, we’ve done our job.
I can only give you one door (without jumping to multiple devices). Otherwise, you’d have all the doors!
Well you can certainly check DONE on that part of your list!
Happy Birthday Kelli! Hope it’s wonderful!
*Queues confetti cannons*
Suoer Happy birthday Kelli!
Libations all around!
Ditto on the happy birthday wishes. I think there’s still a fireman or two around.. here, consider it a birthday present
All your firemens are belong to me.
But I do wish you the merriest of birthdays, kelli!!! I’ve plugged in the nacho cheese fountain, should be ready in a few minutes. We’ll break open the dom perry yon and vintage cereal, and have ourselves a PAR-TAY here in the Snark Lounge. What would you like in your pinata? (Sorry, I do know the correct spelling of pinata but don’t know how to make a tilde in the comments.)
N+~ is ALT+164 (from the keypad)
or
the characters
ampersand
n
tilde
semi-colon
viz, &n tilde; or ñ
ñ
Thanks, Capn!
piñata piñata piñata!!!
Look at the cool stuff I learned to do just in the last 2 days at YSaC!
Andie, no charge.
I know most of the ALT+nnn from having a full keyboard handy.
So, “ì” is 141; “è” is 138; ¿ is 168–but I keep a cheat sheet handy, too,
The ampersand+[description]+; codes are easier on a laptop. All you have to remember is the modifier.
An i plus acute is & iacute; or í
An i plus umlaut is & iuml; or ï
An i plus grave is & igrave; or ì
An i plus circumflex is & icirc; or î
This is a bit more mnemonic (if one can remember the ampersand and the semi-colon). The downside is that the ALT+ format works almost everywhere, word processing ,edit boxes, etc. and the ampersand codes are for html
Very Happy Birthday Kelli!!
Happy birthday Kelli!
Happy Natal Festivities!
*passes champagne magnum*
*sigh* R.I.P. Punctuation… We miss you…
Happy, Birthday Kelli!
Uh-oh! Looks like we still have an echo in here.
But, a good echo, today.
Not a sequence-altering, head-scratching, give 400 Bad Request errors every second post, sort of day.
HBD Kelli (all “e’s” b’long Barrister-B!)
Yup, still here 😉
psssst! You forgot to change your name, “Echo”.
No, I didn’t change my name the other day, either. :-p
Happy Birthday, Kelli!
Happy Birthday Kelli-
I wrote a song for you.
Kelli, Kelli, Kelli, Kelli, Kelli
Oh wait, that’s from Cheers.
OK, I stole a song for you.
kelli, you gave away the date of your birthday. Today is Annoy or confuse a Stranger day, and that means it’s your Birthday! I have updated my log, so we’ll never forget it! 8) Which reminds me, I haven’t checked that forum page in a long time.
I don’t think anyone checks any page in the forum anymore. I’ve had no feedback at all on my slice-able coffee recipe.
I cannot tell a lie.* I haven’t checked the forums in way too long. sorry.
*This, almost certainly, is not true.
All of my alchemic attempts to improve upon it have failed (or eaten holes in the time-space continuum).
Otherwise, I would have shared by now. If need be, there are several on-line recipes for coffee eclairs and at least one for cappucino croussant.
I do have an idea for columbian-roast mocha ganache to try, though. And a lead on a coffee cookie.
But if you need to improve it, that means there is something wrong with it. I need to know these things! I promise to keep my diva chef attitude to a minimum. 🙂
I saw the coffee slices recipe, but I haven’t tried it yet so I can’t say whether it works or not.
You’re right, we don’t check the fora all that often. I try to pop in every once in a while, but it spooks me out to hear my footsteps echoing.
Anyway, happy birthday Kelli! 🙂
I cannot get the old Miller High Life ad out of my head, after today’s topic. Champagne of Beers has me very thristy.
Happy Birthday, Kelli! One of us is older than the other, can you guess which one?
I hope your day is as nice as mine was.
Your day was first Gramps, so obviously you’re older.
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, I’m sitting in McRonalds, eating my birthday happy meal before I head to work. At least it’s a dress down day.
Y’now, more workplaces would be nicer if they’d simply schedule when the employees were to be berated, impuned, and maligned. Every one would know, be prepared, then get it over with.
Oh, snap, you mean it’s a day with less-formal attire, don’t you? *facepalm*
Happy hatching day Kelli!
May a woodpecker find your ash irresistible*
*What?
Just wanted to let everyone know, I have an engagement this evening (yes, I am a party animal) so will not be able to do the Round-Up. I still haven’t finished last Sunday’s. Christina, if you are so inclined, please feel free to round out the evening. Thanks!
I’ll give it a go if I have the time. Looks like a slow day so far, if I haven’t just jinxed us. Plus I’m having an annoying issue where my phone and this site right now.
[Corey] I HATE anything fake, Shampain? give me real pain!…Shampoo? I say give me real poo![/Corey]
[Corey]=[Matt]
Speaking of the Muppets (or possibly Sesame Street), that reminds me of a line from one or the other of them*: (approximately) “Shampoo? Oh, I don’t use shampoo, I use real poo. Only the best poo for my hair.”
*might be something else, I don’t recall clearly
Um… okay, HamCan. If you really want it, I’ll scrape some off this Bluebook here…
How about a Shamwow?*
*You’ll say wow every time!**
**This may or may not be true.
Seriously, “poo” is the industry shorthand for shampoo. It annoys me and makes me laugh like a 12 year old boy simultaneously.
Wasn’t it onFriday, you were a 9 yr old boy?
9..12.. boy… I’m confused
Mind flashes back to a better time:
What’s the word? – Thunderbird
How’s it sold? – Good and cold
What’s the jive? – Bird’s alive
What’s the price? – Thirty twice.
Happy B-day Kelli
*Hands her a bottle of TBird*
Thunderbird
WooHoo! Ray Wylie Hubbard, an excellent portent for anyone’s birthday! {G}
Is that who the lake is named after?
I believe that is not the case for both Lake Ray Hubbard, and Hubbard Creek Lake.
But, I have not gone to TP&W to look it up or anything.
RWH might be kin to those who were named, though.
Ooh, good “birthday” music,
” ‘M’ is for mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck/’O’ is for the oil I put on my hair/…”
Shampain? Meh. Let me know when you have some new old champipple.
Happy Birthday, Kelli!
Dom Perry yon? Never tried it. I did have some Dom Perry hither once though.
I think I knew a Dom Perry once…
Hmmm. Today’s Round-up may be easier to write than I think.
Today we celebrated kelli’s birthday with shampain. Pinatas to follow.
So earlier when we had no new post, my brain did a little free association and came up with the following:
Llama-nun was away the day the snark was delayed
but we still had Ostrimu Dan
And Grampdaddy was there in ladies underwear
GrahamT was the invisible man
Then something went wrong for Taco and his thong
when Ham caught him in a jam with PamCan
But when your snark’s misaligned from too much quiet shirt time
Slice some coffee and become a fan:
YSaC! Snarking daily
Bacontini, is here for da ladies
See spambot poetry, and not.a.lions
Windrose punches, Trollz are cryin’
Oh oh oh ooooooooh…
On the daily YSaC snarking show!
I know Lola and Isaac were rather pedantic
When corey talked about da minty shell
And I felt itchy when I saw LRC
wear a lousy, horse-tailed poncho from hell
Grampdaddy ate prunes while Astro spoke of basoons
And Cap’n thought of new ways to spell
But when Sparky gets drunk and dresses up his junk
It’s time for [ERROR: RHYME NOT FOUND]
YSaC! Snarking daily
Bacontini, is here for da ladies
See spambot poetry, and not.a.lions
Windrose punches, Trollz are cryin’
Oh oh oh ooooooooh…
On the daily YSaC snarking show!
In the snark lounge…
On the daily YSaC snarking show!
I know it’s a slow day and all, but this tune traditionally gets audience participation and I know most of you are old enough to know how to play along at home.
I was watching Hurt Locker.
I couldn’t figure out why that won awards…totally unrealistic.*
*I’ve been in Iraq, recently.
Yeah, still muddling through my emotions on this one.
Good to see I was correct in skipping this one at the theater.
That, and that Acadamy has been warped for some time now.
Shoulda been with Christina and the cool kids at the birthday party.
(Would likely be a fascinating discussion if we got bombdude, a cooler, a quiet place away from the young and impressionable, and shared some tales.)
Well, to be honest there’s nothing much fascinating about Iraq, unless you like 130 deg. heat or un-cleanable mud.
I was not in a combat role, although flying around in a Blackhawk wasn’t exactly safe, lost count of how many times flares were deployed.
I was never one of the cool kids, just one of the geeks who didn’t have a reputation to ruin so I got to be as weird as I wanted.
Oh, and fellas, get a bunker! 😀
Christina, if you want to put some chairs out in the quiet, dark, part of the yard near the handy cooler, you’d be perfectly welcome to sit with us and hear stories of elephants.
You just have to have the young’uns and impressionables run off, and be willing to risk permanently curled hair after a certain libation content.
Can I come, if I provide my own caffeine and narcotics? It’s probably kinda like being drunk… right?
My favourite part is by far [ERROR: RHYME NOT FOUND].
I chuckled exuberantly.
Dom Perry Yon is the love child of Dom Deluise, Perry Ellis and Yoko Ono
I just realized…
Penis!
Had to check my fly there real quick, must be Gramp…
I don’t remember Taco giving you permission to wear his thong while he is away.
I wasn’t wearing anythong…
Sorry I’ve missed the snark today. Diabolical schemes and plans had to be taken care of. Muahahahaha! Success! 🙂
Very very happy birthday, Kelli! May you have many more and may you always confuse strangers!.
Does that mean Grampdaddy got a surprise?!? Excellent. He’ll survive, won’t he? 8)
Guess what!
Cary won at the marching band competition today!
Video will probably be available soon.
G’night/morning!
Congrats, Astro my fiend – er, friend!!!
I’m so proud!!! Hope there’ll be video so we can all enjoy your awesomeness.
One am here and this monkey is tired out (I’m not telling why 😉 ) so I will try to recap in the morning if Windrose doesn’t beat me to it.
Back in the box, Andie! Punchity Punch Punch!
Dominoes and game night was fun, as always. Best comment of the evening, “I hate to lose and run.”
G’Night, Illinois!
