Killer thread guys, thanks.

Reminds me of 6 little old ladies sitting on a park bench cackling with each other.

Someone needs to come up with a flag to put on threads like this, I would NEVER have known how entertaining it was by just the heading.

Peter Hirsch–I am indeed “some kind of a writer” between the ages of, say, 27 and 43. However, I suspect the share of Berserkers who are in that age bracket and in some way write for a living is high enough that those criteria don’t really narrow down the field too much.

Seriously? I deserve better than this. I’d bet that less than 40% of the board falls in the 27-43 range, and I’d bet that less than 10% of the board writes for a living. Compound probability there assuming no correlation would be a 4% shot at getting these 2 things right. So if I’m a good profiler here, how did I do on the secret thong? If I also hit on that, which I’d guess is less than 2% of the board, I’m talking big FBI profiler points.

Fish in a barrel Peter. I assume you too can Google. All credit removed unless you are right about the thong.

Bill Boykin, sí, claro, varias veces, aunque nunca visité las bodegas allá. Por qué?

But you utterly missed the fact that Dan is a master of baseball statistics. How many of those are there that wear thongs?

So, I am at my local Chinese restaurant for lunch. There is a lobster special, $16.99. It’s delicious, ginger and scallion, perfectly cooked. The bill comes, it is $19.95. I query it; the manager says an employee changed the price from $19.99 without asking him. Now there is silence. “Is this a bait and switch I ask myself?
Should I have known the lobster was underpriced, when competing shrimp were the same price? Am I a bad person?” He stares at me, I stare back. He relents. I write a note on the local restaurant bulletin board saying what a stand up guy the manager is. I am happy, I am right. That’s all that matters.

You should go back there immediately and pay the extra $3 PLUS tip!

@Dan Rosenheck

I have an 83 Soldera Riserva in my fridge awaiting a special occasion. I think I’d need to find a $50-$100 Amarone I love before splurging for a $400 Quintarelli–I think I may just not like the jammy high-alcohol profile. (I’m not much of a Port guy either.) Any recommendations?

Quinterelli isn’t jammy. You’re probably thinking of Dal Forno.


But I thought this thread was about Flatiron Wines? Bait and Switch! Bait and Switch!

[Dan_Rosenheck]

Hahaha. I (mistakenly, apparently) was under the impression that all Amarone was jammy. Though perhaps I just need to be more precise about jammy vs. overripe vs. stewed vs. roasted vs. (by definition) raisined.

[Mark_Y]

This entire thread is a bait & switch.

I’m here to read about customer service & Flatiron, instead i read about Dan and thong wearing.

wtf… i demand a refund…

Dan is also a dead ringer for a major New York City monument.

this may be a state to state issue…
maybe not NY, but apparently in Ohio:
