Happy 3rd Epinions anniversary, Ginzo!
I took a trip down memory lane and revisited some of the reviews I posted over the past 2¾-years. It struck me that I need to enable the "Comment Notification" feature on my reviews because I still receive inquiries and comments on some of my older material.
Travelling down memory lane, I am reminded of all the things that I enjoy about the Epinions community -- the caring, helpful people here, the camaraderie and -- yes, in some cases -- the competition and contentious debate. As we honor Ginzo for three years of membership, I write also to thank everyone who has ever read, rated or commented on any of my simple reports. You make it fun to stay involved.
Now then, to keep things short and simple, I canvassed a few hundred of my epinions and selected a few of the more humorous (and short) rejoinders posted during the first two years of my membership:

hey, wait a minute I think I dated that cigar in college. 3 1/2 inches long, a ring gauge of 26 and talk about a quickie - yep, sounds just like my old boyfriend.

No one told me What? I need a thermometer to drink wine? I can't just twist off the cap and be done with it? What's next: beer bottles with corks? I need a drink in a paper bag.

Cool. You and I like a lot of the same bands. Not in a sling blade kind of way, but a regular way.

Pesticides? Wow...I don't know why, it makes perfect sense, but I never considered that the grapes used to make the wine I was drinking could have been grown using chemical weed and bug killers. That would be disturbing to see in a review... the wine was smooth on the tongue and the DEET was hardly noticeable...
And -- of course, from one of the most entertaining, erudite
and odd chaps I have ever met online -- three gems from
Florian, soon to return to Epinions....

I Feel So Violated! Beringer, founded by a respectable German, is now importing wines from France. What sort of a heresy is this? I'm shocked and appalled.
Merlot. When I was a little idiotic kid, probably about ten years old, my parents had a bottle of it sitting out on the kitchen counter. I drank the majority of it and by the time they returned I had puked out my viscera like a sea cucumber and had thrown a cat at a wall.

Belgian Blasphemy. Never drink anything that comes from France, or anything that has to do with France. We were right in attacking France through Belguim. Killing to [sic] birds with one stone. I learned all I need to know about French alcohol from The Simpsons. They use anti-freeze, you know. I'm blind now. I don't know how I'm typing this. All proceeds from my Epinions shall go to my eventual eyeball transplants, so please, all who read this, be warned and don't drink inconsistent French beer. By the way, read my reviews. I need eyes, after all.
On: Beer from Poland - Zywiec, Okocim and Lomza

Huzzah! Who stole the Kischka?! Where do I begin? The humour is too much, it really is. 'Tis a rare, rare thing these days that I should be so unabashédly amused at something reeking of frivol, but the Polish. Oh, the Polish! They never cease to amaze. I was watching the grand old telly recently and an advertisement for a CD turned on, showing a group of rather generously plump Polaks situated round a circular table, passing a large, phallic Kischka from one to another, chanting conspiratorily, "Who stole the Kischka??!!"
It's almost too much. Almost.

Cheers!
