I am a pretentious fuk...

I do applaud him for coming out in support of gay marriage. To do so when your continued employment is essentially dependent on not doing or saying anything that the masses might potentially disagree with (I get the impression there's a fair few homophobes in America) is ballsy and defiantly progressive. So well played Obama.

YES, I agree! :thumbleft:

Make me three!

i didn't read the entire thread (sorry if someone already made this comparison) camstory you type like Christopher Walken talks!

 

[Mirra]

Yeah... most people with with Shatner but Walken works too. Of course thinking about Christopher Walken makes me want to watch the Weapon of Choice music video.

I'm old school trekkie, conventions, engineers tech manual, whole nine, (way before geek got popular) so I can't help but have fondness for J.T.K.

But

an easy thing

for me, ,, to hear

Christopher Walken's voice

Instead of reading your post like a normal person, I am going to replace the words of this song and pretend that it is being sung instead. That is the only way that the way you are typing is even remotely acceptable.

I know this mountain, bb

[camstory]

The fabric of this thread has become a great incongruence, stitched together by a most pleasing group of eclectic souls.

Thank you all!

Oh, and yes classy indeed, in an "I don't care about any ones definition of classy but mine" sorta way. I am a pretentious fuk, you know. I'm working on pompous, and vane, for the narcissistic hat thick.

Narcissistic hat thick: One reaches into a hat and pulls an exact duplicate of themselves from it, then proceeds to have mad crazy sex with themselves! :-D

 

[camstory]

:whistle:

I was convinced you were some sort of forum Rain Man, but even that explanation falls short to explain the rate at which you produce appropriate content stuffed post. My new theory is you employ a squad of highly trained Jane Bots, that search & return requested media 24/7? Weapon of Choice, Fatboy Slim. Nice :thumbleft:

 

[LiLredhairedgrl]

I can always use more bots.

:hello2:

 

[camstory]

Sometimes
I run all the hell
Around the forum looking
At this, and that. No crumbs to
Find my way back, use of pen & pad
Helps me keep track of who to thank, or who to attack.
Still I often find myself not knowing where, or how I got there. Lost!

:hello2:

 

[camstory]

Narcissistic hat thick, and Lost poem. One lousy thank. I quit. Not b/c my work is not worthy of much much more, but b/c you ppl have no taste. Hows that for pretension?

I thought you liked me, I always liked you. It's not fair :crybaby:

Pretentious Things to Say at a Wine Tasting, Should You Want to…

Posted on May 5, 2011 by Kris

The following is my list of Top 10 Pretentious Things to Say at a Wine Tasting. This list isn’t hypothetical, these are ACTUAL comments I have heard at wine tastings (apart from the one about Provence). Some of them are fairly legitimate, others are just plain douchey.

“…well I used to live in Napa, so…”

Contrary to popular belief, living in or near Napa does not make you any kind of expert on wine. Your palate is no more refined. Your taste is no more discerning.
I lived in England for 21 years. It doesn’t make me an expert on bad teeth, tea and cricket.

“What percentage Malo?”

Malo refers to Malolactic Fermentation, a process which winemakers put a wine through in order to turn the tart green apple-type malic acid, into a smoother, rounder, milky-type lactic acid.
For an example of this, think about a Chardonnay from Chablis (France) compared to a big and rich Napa Chardonnay.
Winemakers can put a wine through varying degrees of malo, depending on the results they are hoping to achieve. Red wines generally go through a full malo, white wines differ based on preference.
If someone at a wine tasting asks me “What percentage malo did this wine go through?”, I’ll normally respond with “Can’t you tell by tasting it?”

“…mmmm, you can really taste the terroir!”

Generally used by people who have just discovered the word terroir; either by hearing a Sommelier say it, or having seen it in a copy of Wine Spectator.

Terrior just means the environmental factors which effect a vineyard, and therefore the grapes themselves. Terroir in wine is a much debated thing i.e. can you actually taste where a wine comes from.
Personally I believe that terrior plays a major role in the overall flavor of the grapes once they reach the winery, but from that point on it’s all in the hands of the winemaker. For that reason, you could also say: “…mmm, you can really taste the wine-maker in this wine!”

“I never drink anything with a screw cap!”

One of the biggest douchey statements in wine, and one I also hear weekly. The screw cap debate is boring, and I’m not going to get into it again on this site. All you need to know is that they aren’t to be frowned upon. Truth be told, I’ve heard of at least one winery which when it came time to re-cork some of their older vintages (since corks deteriorate over time), they actually have chosen to reseal their bottles with a screw cap closure instead.


"It’s as if they took my childhood summers in Provence and put them in a glass. Don’t you agree?"

This one speak for itself…

“What kind of barrels was this wine aged in?”

One of the less pretentious questions in this line-up, although I personally really couldn’t care less what type of barrels a winery uses. As long as the taste is what I’m looking for, I don’t see the point.
It is however kind of interesting to know what the different types of oak can potentially do to a wine.
American oak generally imparts a more intense flavor than French oak due to the wood grain. French oak has a tighter grain, and can yield a more subtle taste. American oak has a wider grain, and is typically used for full-bodied red wines which can benefit from a fair amount of oak contact.

“So this Champagne is only $50 on your wine list…” <takes a sip> “Hmmmm, tastes like it!”

Restaurant and retail pricing on wine can be very misleading. I’ve bought $20 “close-out” wines, which I’ve known that sell for more than $200 on a restaurant wine list. I’ve also tasted plenty of $50 bottles that drink like $30 bottles. It seems to me that some wineries, just because they are located in prestigious growing regions, think they have the right to automatically charge an arm and a leg!

If you can blind-taste multiple wines and pin-point their exact price within $5-$10, and you aren’t in the wine business; I hate to say this….but you have wasted your whole life.
