nick gillespie was checking me out in a gross-ish way at a new year's eve party. i think. or i had food in my teeth. either way, even though i have never talked to him, i am prepared to say i found him vaguely creepy.

yeah, I didn't want to say this in the body of the post, but he's creepy. it's like there's a flashing light on his head saying "sexual harassment."

He was perhaps envisioning you as part of the coming-libertarian utopia.

See, when he says "take my wife," one assumes that he's speaking in the "as an example" sense, but then he blows your mind when he plays off the other, more common definition of "take" (to come into possession of), with just a single word, "please"!

Brut champagne often has a vinegary, I'm-giving-you-heartburn flavor.

I believe this is why creme de cassis was invented?

Ben, seriously, do not suggest adding Creme de Cassis to any host offering you champagne.

I bet you shouldn't suggest adding it to the champagne, either, as it might be considered rude.

However, a thread at egullet suggested that the best wines for Kir would be such that you probably wouldn't want to drink them plain, and would really benefit from the added sweetness of the cassis, and that this is also more historically "correct": Any screechingly acidic white will do. The original idea was to sweeten up the tart aligote with the cassis to make it more palatable.

Btw what would be wrong with daughter Y repeating that "white people look stupid with dreadlocks"? Guy gets offended and never speaks to you again, it's all good, because he's a WHITE GUY WITH DREADLOCKS. I'm not one to look down on fashion victims, but white-guy-with-dreadlocks is putting way too much effort into his fashion douchebaggery.

Right but if he married the younger Alameida it would be problematic. Blood is thicker than mousse. (Wait, no, maybe it isn't.)

Nick always wears that cook. The mysterious Alameida is the best cook ever. She also keeps not mentioning that the sister in question is a nazi or some shit. Ezra didn't know what pate was.

That sounds like a "telephone" or, if you like, Osneresque, rendering of the fact that she does WWII re-enactments, if I recall correctly.

Ugly bag-eyed Catherine really is an unrequited narcissist if she thinks that ANYBODY is checking her out in a "creepy way," much less someone as handsome as Nick.
