  1. Looks like a good time.

    I like a bottle of brown bag Night Train in the liquor store parking lot under the warm glow of a street light.

    1. Ha, classic mate, been there done that, got the tee shirt and a flogging from the local fuzz to prove it . . . I love my vino but I ain't no wine snob, I get to see plenty of expensive, turgid, godawful piss I wouldn't offer my worst enemy, and heaps of brilliant, cheap as chips, sub $10 a btl, delightful stuff that completely messes with the palates of wine wanker doctors and lawyers who say it's great before I tell em what it is then try and squirm out of their glowing endorsements . . . just like everything else in life, cost means fuck all in my books.
