These Blogthings Keep Getting Better and Better
By Mitch Berg
This one (Via Anti-Strib) is on ones’ White Trash level:
I am 0% White Trash.
I, my friend, have class. I am so not white trash. . While Democrats consider themselves the paladins of class, I outclass them by superhuman margins. Not only do I not drink wine from boxes, I frequently bypass bottles and go directly to the vintner’s cask. I radiate class to the point where I am able to refine classlessness by simple exposure to me.

I am proud of the fact that I occasionally drink boxed wine, and yes, W does kick ass.
(22% white trash my ass)

Elitist.

I call bull on the test. The following sequence alone will at 5% to your white trash score.
Did your Dad ever hit you? No.
Did you deserve it? Yes.
A teenage boy? With a strong rebellion streak? How many of you can honestly answer you didn’t deserve getting smacked for some of the stuff you did as a teenager? H*ll yeah I deserved it. But at least I was smart enough not to get caught. For starters, there was that incident with the rocket powered car going down the street where we didn’t get the home-made propellant quite right…
And some of those box wines are pretty good. If you’ve been to Europe, especially, they sell some fantastic box wines.

I think I got a 21%, and wear it proudly.

Not a single question about Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The test is bogus.

The test, like all such tests, is totally dumb. Which is why I just have fun with ’em.
Years ago, I went out with a wine importer. She said that since there’s a huge looming shortage of cork (there’s some sort of disease that’s constricting the supply of wine-quality natural cork), things like plastic corks, screw-tops and yes, boxes will found more and more with high-quality wines.

You priced a H-D lately, Terry?
I just returned from Sturgis (Ugh). Somehow I doubt that the “bikers” hauling $250k worth of toys in a $10k custom painted trailer behind a $300k motorhome have used appliances on their lawns back home.

They almost never user real cork in wines in Europe. If any of it falls into the wine when the corkscrew rips up the cork, it seriously degrades the taste rather quickly…or so I’ve read.

Swiftee-
Sturgis is like that. The worst sort of pilgrims are the ones who trailer their bike to Rapid City & then unload it & ride it into Sturgis “All the way from the West Coast”.
Beautiful biking in the Black Hills as long as you spend August someplace else.
