Wine-ing
Fri Jul 15, 2005 07:58 (UTC -5)My parents like wine. I’ve always noticed that. They drink wine with dinner often. I see their wine glasses out, I see bottles all the time. That’s understandable. But I’ve noticed several things appearing around the house. I swear these are all new.
My mom bought this mat while on vacation in the Florida Keys last month.
I wouldn’t trust my food to this guy. The picture seems to have been in place for no more than a week.
I don’t know when this wine rack thing showed up, but it’s new.
My parents’ cork collection. While not new in itself, the other day they brought it into view on a chalkboard they just bought (previously the corks sat in a drawer). They want to combine the two somehow and make it a corkboard.
With all this alcohol-related paraphernalia, it’s a wonder I don’t “fall down the stairs” every once in a while. (Just kidding!)
Calculators are an amazing tool, making possible such things as rapid, accurate mathematical calculations and spelling funny words when turning the calculator upside-down. Come on, who hasn’t done that? Oðblgshezi is a “language” consisting only of the letters you can make with a calculator. Punch “1234567890″ in a calculator and you get the name of the language (“ð” means “th”). I’d like to see somebody write a meaningful sentence in this calculator lingo.
