Almost, almost as good as "santorum."
One Groundhog Day in grad school, I watched Groundhog Day. Then I watched it the next night. And then the next night, too.

I ended up watching the movie every day for nearly a month. It was glorious.

Re: American v. French

Assuming you have enough pressure in the bottle to force a clean break (6+ bar), the other major factor is glass quality. American sparkling producers tend to use shitty Chinese glass, which tends to fracture rather messily when sabered. The French invest (usually) in better quality glass, which splits much better. There are always exceptions, of course.

These are called pop-up islands, and they appear in a body of water that is currently seeing a lot of Internet hits. They tend to be self-reinforcing obviously, but don't worry, it'll be gone soon, just like the rest of its fleeting geographic species.
I suspect most of Giz's readership didn't search this garbage (iPhone excepted), but maybe I'm just falling pray to the "I'm/we're not racist" mentality. Maybe Eleanor Roosevelt really is disappoint at us.

Yeah, I was going to watch Casablanca on Netflix last night, but realized that so much of the rich, nuanced relationship between Rick and Ilsa would be lost without the proper image and sound clarity. And the humor probably wouldn't have even come through at all.
Beware the vacuum wine "savers." Pulling even a modest vacuum on wine removes a lot of the volatile compounds responsible for aroma and flavor. If you're serious about keeping your wine palatable after opening, just throw it in the fridge and warm it gently when you want to drink some.

And Stuart Cooper makes a great point -- you can go to Home Depot and pick up a 50-bottle wine fridge for $200. Hell, I got mine on clearance there for $150.
When somebody is misinformed, disinformed, or manipulated, insulting them seems hardly the best way to convince them otherwise.
You know, if Marty McFly ever got his shoes shined, the scene would essentially BE the last verse of Steely Dan's "Pretzel Logic." #whitenoise
I spent a week in Iceland after graduating from college. Amazing place. I can't say enough great things about it. Just buy a ticket and go.
Kinda reminds me of one of those ads:
