Quaffable

I am hardly what one would term an oenophile, though I do enjoy fine wines, well, as long as they’re red.  Recently, I was treated to half a case of Two-Buck Chuck Cabernet, Charles Shaw Wine, and, I have to admit, it was quite quaffable.  A solid table wine in my opinion.  Evidently, Charles is branching out, hoping to market a Ten-or Twelve-Buck Chuck. It might be worth purchasing a bottle, if you can, due to its limited availability.

Be that as it may, he has been dropping a assorted emails to various and sundry individuals, who will remain unknown, and he has posted a few of those for your reading pleasure.

Take a read, here, if you are so inclined.

Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law

Must individuals are aware of the phrase, above.  It can be seen on just purchased mattresses, furniture, and other such items.  Of course it doesn’t really mean you cannot remove the tag from one of those previously mentioned items, it simply means the seller cannot remove the tag prior to your purchase.

I wonder, though, if that phrase, may one day actually be applied to consumers, at the insistence of manufacturers of the clothes you wear.  Why do I wonder?  Because RFID tags are working their way down into your skivvies.

Take a look at these so called friendly purveyors of clothing, and their RFID supplier Checkpoint, displaying their wares at the recent Frontline Expo 2004.

After looking at that, you may want to invest in a very sharp scissors.

Hat tip to a reader.

Cowards

Thought about this while driving early this morning, while contemplating the post, below, titled “Can You?"

Individuals used to say, murderers who shot innocent, or not so innocent, individuals in the back were cowards.

They still are, as far as I am concerned.  Anyway, I Googled up the following phrase this morning, “coward+shot in the back," and was supplied with a plethora of links.  Not all of them are relevant, but, I hope you get my drift.

Terrorists are cowards.
