Salut/Hi Blake Norton,

And most advised you not to.

I think this and the previous message are a complex troll message. I suspected it at the time and am now convinced.

Go for it - anyone that gets involved can plead the "Blake is a moron" defence.

You either have the worst common sense I've seen in a long time, or you are trying out your creative writing 'skills' on this group; either way, it is time for you to fade into the background.

Unless one of the components smelled like that, the admixture of two cheap wines wouldn't smell off either.

He slapped you in the face ... for bad wine? ... bad joke?. He might need professional help.

Sounds like your relationship was tenuous at best. Run, Blake!

For helping you get out of a bad situation? Or did you forget the :-)

You might be serious, but you still appear to be a troll. Dick

Blake, perhaps you did not really want to get married anyway. Who would want to marry into a family that did not have a warped sense of humor.

Enjoy,

Dick

That was my first thought - yeah, the whole idea was stupid, but not (usually) enough to break off a relationship headed marriage-ward. One assumes that the lady inquestion must have known about the sense of, ah, humour..

Blake,

After that you should have charged your former possible father-in-law with assault. A night in jail would have been great for his sense of humor the next morning. Especially after a shower with Rocko and "da boyz."

if I recall some responses suggested such a stunt was juvenile, if you're suing the posters who encouraged you, you should share your ill gotten booty with those who told you not to do it!

I see that your sense of humor is still strong. You hooked almost everybody! So how did it really go?

GS.

Many of the posters won't even see your post, since many news servers just silently drop binary posts made to non-binary newsgroups...

Joe,

I know that you live in the most litigatious country in the world, but surely you are not suggesting that if "I" have a dumb idea and act upon that dumb idea, I can successfully sue anyone else who likes my dumb idea?

I always wondered why Cote Rotie was so awful!!!

no milord. the poster wants too sue those who encouraged him and suggested bad wines--what i'm saying is he should share his largess with those who advised him not to play games. The point is moot as this was obviously a Troll.

Mike

They often add viognier to the (red) wine.

Dimitri

Yes, usually 10% or less. Does that make it awful? No doubt there exists awful Cote Rotie, just as there are aweful wines in every appellation, but this seems like a silly generalization.

Mike

I think it was a joke.

Dimitri

Mike, your humour detector definitely needs new batteries.

M.

Ach so, humour !

sorry, I guess smileys are no longer in style...
