Geek to Geek: I hate the taste of wine. However, I don't think it tastes like grape juice, grape soda, or grape Kool-Aid. In an attempt to pretend like I have a grown-up palate, I will drink a Kalimotxo (sometimes called Calimocho): half red wine, half Coca-Cola.

Just wanted to say that I really enjoy how you paint each other in extremes. I don't know were people don't get that it is part of the show. I probably wouldn't be listening each episode if it was too normal. Don't our extremes make us interesting?

The fact that the two of you can get on the air and have such a great rapport says a lot.

ps: the weak goatee makes you look younger.

Forget the weak goatee - is that a 'hoodie'?
Rock on, BMX-n-Boy, Rock on!

As far as the "extremes" - that's what makes this a SHOW!!!

@Bob - this all does mean that I will have to try it. So thanks for the drink recipes.

@Norm - thanks man! It is our extremes that make us interesting, I agree. They become the amplified idiosyncrasies that are our plumage. Say what? It just sounded right given the context.

@NCN - yep, I was sporting a hoodie today. In fact I am still wearing it. Since I'm not leaving the house much for travel it's much easier to lounge around.

Wine tastes as much like grape juice as as beer tastes like barley.

Kalimotxo? Maybe if your idea of "wine" is something that comes in a plastic bottle so you don't hurt yourself when you roll off the park bench.

I'm not a big fan of wine either...unless you're trying to look classy while getting drunk or trying to impress a member of the opposite sex I don't see the point. It's like the disgusting taste of alcohol the first time you try it, except over and over.

Pitties! That's priceless.

I do not think the goatee is as lame as you had made it out to be.

Also, saying you don't like wine because you don't like grape juice is like saying you don't like cheese because you don't like milk. But I know how this goes. Everyone starts piling up on you "just try the wine, Kris! you HAVE TO TRY IT! JUST TRY IT! GAAAAAAHHH TRY IT TRY IT TRY IT!" and then you just dig in and refuse and get more stubborn and OOOOH this gets to be this big "THING".

But I say NO! DON'T DRINK WINE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO! Be that way!

More for ME!!!!

Betsy should use reverse psychology (but now that I've said that she should you'll think that she isn't) and tell Kris not to drink wine.
