   This is so sweet, even though I know you’re posting this to push the Pushcart further down the page.

   And we have those popcorn holders, too! I never remember to use them, though.

   I was thinking Sleeping Beauty.

     My guess: She is mocking the attitudes of despair and surrender into which her father so often flings himself.

       May I suggest Daddy on his 3rd bourbon?

         You can’t spell “Bulleit Bourbon” without “I bullet bourbon.”

           This is for you and your homeboy (JOB). It may be too rough for the blog. Adult language content.

             I respect Modern Drunkard, always have. But I will not drink for a principle over drinking for pleasure, i.e., “I am a rotgut man.” It’s reverse hipsterism. I am an ordinary man. I drink the best bourbon I can afford. Price matters. Quality matters. That said, I wish I had tried the Winn-Dixie Bourbon I saw in New Orleans.

               I wanted to write a series of articles on hipsterism on my old blog with respect to food and wine. BTW, I have not drank of the fruit of the vine since I drank it with you.

               One small caveat, I have drank a few glasses of homemade stuff, but not even a bottle of that. That does not count in the commercial sense of wine.

                 Good heavens – a genuine ascetic. I can only look on in wonder. Really.

                   I retired from drinking bad wine marketed to hipsters. It is hard to determine true passion from hipster insecurity. I expected more from the French. Admittedly my bad. I broke my rule.

                   That is why I wanted to write the articles. It bugs me to see pasta con broccoli raab going for 16 bucks a plate in trendy restaurants. You eat that stuff when you are starving not when you can afford 16 dollars a plate. It makes you want to get a whip and drive the money changers out of the temple.

                     I wish I could afford this for you. It’s lovely and practically handmade. There’s a copy in the Julia Child collection at UCSD’s library.
