jparrott Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 To Joe Dressner, rest in peace, my friend. Fuck this summer. First we lose Ray Deter, who taught us it was OK to drink good beer and good liquor. Now we lose Joe Dressner, who taught us that wines from all over could sing. Joe Dressner was a lion. He was uncompromising. But above all, he was curious. WAAAAAY before curious was cool. And he continued that way his entire life. Goodbye, Joe. Long live real wine.

B.A.R. Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 To Joe Dressner, rest in peace, my friend. Sad news. The wines he championed were unique and full of life, just like the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia R Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 To Joe Barber. He was one of DC's accessible, local film critics. He was on WTOP radio, Around Town on WETA, and, along with Bill Henry, a mainstay at screenings. Photo from City Paper article I'll find a good DVD, popcorn and a glass for you.

Pat Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 R.E.M. They never were my favorite band, but I'm still sad they've officially broken up. A nostalgia thing, I guess 31 years is a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leleboo Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 R.E.M. They never were my favorite band They actually were my favorite band for pretty much all of junior high and high school, and I never stopped loving them after that. I met Michael Stipe once and he was a weird bird. I still love their music; Nightswimming can evoke such strong memories for me that those will never fade. Well done, boys; sweetness follows. *cheers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just might put the little guy in his fredbird shirt to sleep in tonight. (His lucky football outfit took the Giants to the Superbowl a few years back.)

DonRocks Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 To the great Joe Frazier. This is exactly what I feared last night - Joe Frazier wouldn't quit until it was over. And I guarantee the only reason he checked into Hospices was for his family (been there). People will remember him for his devastating left hook; I'll remember him for his superhuman will to win. He was a fighter until the end, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 To my dad, who went duck hunting with Emperor Hirohito. To put World War II into perspective, look at the list of war veterans just from tiny Brunswick High School, taking special note of the column on the left listing those who died or were killed in service. --- And to my great uncle William, my grandfather's brother, who also went to Brunswick High School and was awarded the Victory Medal in World War I (yes, World War One). Until today, I didn't even know he existed - I think it's pretty safe to say he couldn't have imagined someone toasting him on the internet on Veterans Day, 2011.

qwertyy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 To all the extraordinary men and women who have protected my life when I've been overseas, especially all those years ago when I was a pup and didn't even understand what they were doing for me. Sgt. Rob, Justo, and all you other folks, thank you, more than you can ever know. If I could get my hands on some Jordanian whiskey to do it up like we did, I would--clink!

Lydia R Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 To Jeno Paulucci who started Chun King canned Chinese food and Jeno's pizza rolls. He sold Chun King in 1966 and Jeno's in 1985. NYTimes article: here From Stephen Miller's Wall Street Journal article: In his manufacturing operations, Mr. Paulucci had a reputation for hiring handicapped workers as well as those with addictions and criminal records. He was an outspoken supporter of labor unions and bought ads in newspapers advocating a rise in the national minimum wage. I have fond memories of my first regular experience with "home-cooked" Chinese food [opening the stacked cans of entree and a can of crispy chow mein noodles while the rice simmered] - oh, so exotic.

lperry Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 To the bastards who skimmed every last one of my credit cards, leaving me without them on Cyber Monday. May the legs up your pants turn to scorpions. As a corollary, I raise my glass to Charles Walton, inventor of the RFID chip that allowed the skimming while they were in my wallet, in my bag. Moving on, to the lovely people who have RFID blocking credit card sleeves, who will get my business as soon as I have a credit card to use!
