312 Years Old And Counting

May 6, 2009 – 4:21 am

I am a big fan of New York’s Mayor Bloomberg. He is not only mayor, but he also apparently owns the City. I’ve never met the man, but I am sure that when I finally decide to go to New York, he’ll come greet me at the airport – you know, respect among equals and all that. But this is not about Mr. Bloomberg, it is about an article published by his news organization.

It seems that a Dutch study says half a glass of wine a day is good for the heart, brain, and judging from my own experience, libido. Twice as good as beer, apparently.

Now, they don’t say what happens when you drink three bottles of G—- White Zinfandel, with a couple of the girls before you go out clubbing, but I’d guess it looks something like this.. And probably not so good for the soul, never mind the heart.

I am finding that what I thought was all about my pedigree and unparalleled genes, is really about drinking a bit of vin everyday. Who knew. I’ll have to have a chat with mama beast, who is celebrating her 350th this year.

  2. Paul Carr seems perfect as the typical Rosbief drinker

  3. In addition to Mr. Carr being a distinguished writer, I believe that he drank competitively for Oxford. En France, we do not condone such behavior.

  4. Your beasty howl sounds tormented. And well done for awarding Paul Carr the binge drinker of the year award

  5. Wise, wise, queen. You are correct, my howl is tormented. In fact, I am tormented, by the fact that France is now numero trois behind Spain AND Italy, in wine production. It is all I think about (aside from love and my next meal). How is it possible that those short people in places like Sicily and Mancha are actually selling more wine than the Motherland? I am filled with rage, and torment.

    As for Monsieur Carr, I am inviting him to Le Chateau. I bring the booze and he brings the totty – We all hang in Le Hot Tub.

  7. Monahan, you going to hang in Le Hot Tub avec us? Bring the little yellow number, eh?

  8. Only if you build that hot tub under the stars in the garden that you promised me you would…
