To hell with Red Lobster!! Down with franchise chain frozen-"food" restaurants!! Fight the power; it's a culinary revolution. No Red Lobster allowed here. BLEACH!! NO NO!!
Yes, shrimp. Real shrimp; the real thing my dear fellow. They're already ready - they cook fast. Here you go - *hands Farimir a plate of beautifuuly plump REAL grilled shrimp, and a nice huge glass of viognier.* BTW, no tacky merlot served here, either. No franzia box-wine, and most DEFinitely no muddy crap merlot. Je deteste most merlot. Here, you can choose between the Roussane & the Viognier. They are both phenomenal, but I must say that I personally will drink that Viognier, there, 'til the cows come home and even long after that.

Looks a lot more official than MY wine. I'll take a glass please. (Doesn't matter which.)

Here you go, my dear. *hands trolls' bane a glass of Alban Viognier, and a plate of shrimp.* Hey, I thought of you the other day - I heard on NPR that they - "THEY" - have discovered clouds, presumably water clouds, on one of the moons of a planet. I think a moon of Saturn. Does this sound familiar? Can you tell us more? Don't get looney on us, now; just tell us please about this new discovery of possible water near one of our planets; what have you heard? I thought of you immediately when I heard that report.

Here; here's some more about it -
UNTIL NASA's Cassini spacecraft flew close to Enceladus, the 300-mile-wide Saturnian moon's only claim to fame was its status as the shiniest object in the solar system. Now scientists think they know where it got its glistening, pearly surface: giant geysers venting subsurface water from a relatively warm south polar region. The discovery adds Enceladus to a short list of places in the solar system that might host life forms similar to those on Earth. Evidence of sufficient heat, water and carbon compounds thus far has been limited to Jupiter's moon Europa and Mars. Even Enceladus' "warm" region where the geysers occur is hardly toasty by Earth standards. Whereas the average temperature on the little moon is minus 330 degrees Fahrenheit, the surface hot spot is only 230 degrees below zero. However, in order for liquid water to exist, subsurface temperatures must be much warmer, providing a potential niche for life. On Earth, bacteria have been found in frigid, sunless ocean depths around scalding volcanic vents. The discovery on Enceladus is a testament not only to the unpredictable variety of worlds in the solar system but also to the effectiveness of NASA's robotic exploration program. Another prime mission — the $450 million Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter — reached the Red Planet Friday and swung into orbit. The probe will employ radar in the search for subsurface water, as well as cameras to scrutinize the Martian surface in unprecedented detail to pinpoint landing sites for future missions.

Down with big business!!!
*said in best Lotesse voice* I'm not really a fan of seafood anyway. I'm a very picky eater. As for the wines, well, both the bottles look the same so I'll take the one you suggested. BTW, look one page back.

How about Ribet Red, from The Arrogant Frog? Peterpanitis... oh, must dwell on this one a bit longer... That's a good challenge, there.

Actually, I've been thinking that any label with a Peter Pan inspired theme would be so cool to collect. You guys ever heard of Marilyn Merlot? The same idea; making a label from a popular culture idea. Neverland Nebbiolo sounds cool. Po Valley Peter Panesco.

Might be tasty, but might also augment the effects of peterpanitis. A better choice would be a wine that will act as a balance. Perhaps a very fine, aged wine? Or a wine popular with older people? I'm afraid I don't know wines very well.
Seafood on the other hand... if you're going to turn your nose up at that excellent shrimp then you won't mind if I nab it, will you?

Aw, you're leaving already, Farimir? Well, buona notte, bello! A domani!
Lady M, I have grilled all manner of plump, juicy shrimp for us, the best in the world for the exclusive membership of The Teacup Cafe - here, a platter for the Lady - *Hands Lady M a lovely plate of grilled shrimps and steamed snowpeas, and a glass of Viognier to accompany*

*munches happily*
It's getting pretty late here too... but our greek history professor declared no class tomorrow so I get to sleep in a bit! Or... get up at my normal time and do the homework that I should have finished over the weekend. Heh.

Greek history? I remember that. Man, I miss school. My baby sister went to a college that was fanatical about studying all forms of the classics; St. John's College in Annapolis Maryland. Have you heard of it? It is right across the street, literally, from the Naval Academy there. Not St. Johns in New York, St. Johns in Annapolis. Anyway.
You're stoked you get to sleep in a bit tomorrow! Indeed. I think, by reading these threads lately, you've been saying you need or want a bit of extra sleep. You & Shah both, right?

Darn it! Will I never find out the name of that program? Hmm...*thinks of some wild publicity stunts somewhat similar to certain previous pulbicity stunts*

Shah is always in need of more sleep, nomatter what she might say.
I usually sleep plenty, but last night I took the decongestants I'm on too late at night and well... yeah, spent the entire night fidgeting, tossing and turning and twisting into pretzel shapes trying to get comfortable. Not exactly restful.

There's always reserves for you; come on you know better than that. *Makes Shah a plate of freshly grilled shrimps; pours glass of Viognier for the Shah to acompany shrimps.*
