This is too easy Emery. You are currently obsessed with pssessions, you realize that you have too much but what to do?

Note to hypnotist. Repeat this mantra: divest possessions, have drink with Josh. Divest possessions, have drink with Josh...

Anytime you want to come over and "help" with a bottle or three, you're welcome. But just don't put me in the same asylum with that crazy canuck! His wine obsession already dwarfs mine, (not to mention his cellar dwarfs mine), and that's not even talking about cars and rhododendrons.

Either a lightweight or keeping your undergarments, quite properly, hidden from public view.

Actually (he said pedantically), I believe that should be "steatopygian"

And for your next lesson, compare and contrast "callipygian" with steatopygian.

And remember that neither are related to homing pygians.....

] >Brilliant use of "steatopygous", Emery! ] ] Actually (he said pedantically), I believe that should be "steatopygian"

Webster's Unabridged disagrees, giving steatopygic and steatopygous as the adjectival forms.

I actually looked up steatopygous in MS bookshelf to verify the spelling. To their credit it is listed, but sadly callipygian is given a synonym. All a matter of taste I suppose, but personally I find a callipygian bottle fits well in my wine rack (dragging kicking and screaming on topic). Steatopygous has a much more vulgar feel to it, hence my use. (Learned this word as a youth from EE "Doc" Smith, as it happens.)

Perhaps steatopygian can be found in Canadian or other dictionaries, but I've never seen it. Do you have a source?

Is the weather bad over there, or are you lot just bored.

Does your steatopygian neighbour erucatate or is he struck by steatorrhea. Where does the stoichometry of wine and water lead.? A Welsh steatopygian could be called a mochyn, and if he was a penny short of a shilling, due to a chemopallidothalamectomy, he would be a mochyn twp.

But then he may have cerumen in the lumen, which would give a bad case of the strange feelings or fantods..

OT, UK only, Tescos has Carpentier fizz at 12.99 down from 19, and a stunning 2000 village Montagny at 5.50 from 10.99. Bought afew cases of both y'day.

Now the dog wants to drag me to the pub for some Old Hooky.......a much better idea than these word games.

From a wet Midlands on a bank holiday weekend...........yes I am bored.

Well what can one expect, using a colonial source...;-)

I hauled out the 'Big Dic', which at home happens to be the Miriam Webster 20th Century version, all 2000 odd pages, and it concurs with your smaller one (bloody ex-colonials stick together). Don't subscribe to the online OED, but perhaps someone else does and can shed light on this important question!

Hauled out the 11th edition Brittanica (last one woth anything) and after getting sidetracked for 10 minutes on an article on Star Chamber, found that it just discusses the condition of steatopygia.

Won't be able to sleep until I find the truth.......

Mark Lipton:

(TELL me about it. :-P )

As I recall the following, one of the Habsburg monarchs, in a position to influence classical music at the time -- Maria Theresia I think -- decreed that no opera should exceed 90 minutes. This demonstrates how, in the right circumstances, monarchy can do great things for the human condition.

(Not a common observation in the US, by the way, partly because of bad early experience with distant monarchs who owned large portions of the continent. For example, reportedly New Orleans passed from one European colonial power to another after someone in Europe lost it in a card game.)

LOL!! IIRC, Maria Theresa was a famous patron of music, but also notorious for her poor judgement: she shunned Mozart, Bach, Handel and Haydn in favor of lesser composers from Italy. In fact, some of Mozart's misery has been attributed to her lack of financial support. My mother, however, would welcome such monarchial decrees today.

Yes, Normandy indeed. Well, maybe next time.

Since I see in a later thread you're heading to Cahors, maybe I can share a few of my faves. Hope I'm not too late! A couple of great cheapies are:

Domaine des Gravalous

They make a lovely traditional (no oak) bottle, silky, ages well, amazing QPR.

Chateau les Ifs S. BURI et Fils

46220 PESCADOIRES Sorry, don't have a #.

Also incredible QPR. A little more structured and lean than the previous.
