If one more fruit fly lands in my wine, I'll have to get up,

[Midlodemocrat]

walk across the kitchen, throw the wine down the sink and pour another glass.

That will piss me off.

[Bucky]

1. Ha! Flies experiencing take off difficulties are treating your Merlot like the Hudson River

Anyway, you'll catch more flies with honey.

[malta blue]

2. That's alcohol abuse!

I won't stand for it!!!11!! :rofl:

Pour me some too, will ya? :hi:

[NightWatcher]

3. it's ok, they wont drink too much, live and let live *hick*

[Jamastiene]

4. Pour them a glass of wine.

They want to get drunk too. After they are drunk, you can train them to do things. :evilgrin:

[Inchworm]

5. Make a setting for them with a glass of cheaper wine

:D

[jmowreader]

10. It doesn't get much cheaper than what Midlo drinks herself

Midlo is DU's resident expert on the joys of boxed wine.

[Inchworm]

12. I see

Guess she could just share?

:hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Shit head. I drink cheap wine, not boxed wine.

And now you? New truck driver CDL guy? DTM. I hope you're happy.

[jmowreader]

15. Just remember...

someone has to deliver that cheap shit to the store.

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Excellent point, freeper. I need a Costco run, when are you available?

I'll even let you drive the MidloVan. It has Sirius Satellite Radio. :rofl:

Not that that matters. I play the same CDs over and over and over.

[jmowreader]

22. Not for at least a month...

Tomorrow I take off with my trainer. We get two. The first guy we drive around for two weeks. The second guy we drive teams with. Then comes the Transition Test. In this, which is done in Arkansas, we have to take the examiner to Walmart. (I'm serious! We get in the truck, leave the terminal and drive six miles, making seven turns including a couple that are guaranteed to be in traffic, to reach a Walmart store. We turn around in Walmart's parking lot without taking out any freepers (possibly the toughest part of the whole test), drive back to the terminal and back the truck into its parking space. If you can do all that without making the evening news, you get to learn the finer points of buying urine.

[sasquatch]

38. Oh great, non strop Michael McDonald

:eyes:

[jmowreader]

23. Oh, and by the way...

just how many fruit flies have landed in your wine so far tonight? Inquiring minds want to know.

[JitterbugPerfume]

6. Just drink it straight out of the fruit jar

:hide:

[HopeHoops]

7. Shit - I read that as "I'll have to get it up"

And I was thinking, "why the fuck would that give you a boner?"

My eyes must be tired - or I'm thinking about sex. Not sure which.

[Dr. Strange]

18. Well, see, now you got me thinking...

"how the fuck would that give Midlo a boner?"

[flvegan]

8. Get a straw.

[datasuspect]

9. screw the cap back on and throw out the rotten fruit

[jmowreader]

11. Just drink it right out of the box, dear

You know you want to.

[LostinVA]

14. It's extra protein -- you may have just invented the Midlothian Beach Diet

[Midlodemocrat]

17. It's crunchy. Me no like.

[realisticphish]

19. shhh, or everyone else will want one

[vard28]

20. Sippy cup

Problem solved.



:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. And it stops those nasty spills

[vard28]

28. Exactly

They have the kind with straws built in so she'd look like she wasn't under age to be having more than apple juice.

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

29. The safest bet would be a camelback with a bite valve

[vard28]

31. So...

I bet you can fit a box worth into that too!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

32. Yeah, pretty much

[jobycom]

21. I've got Yakoff Smirnoff fruit flies right now.

They are bad enough to throw ME down the sink.

[tigereye]

25. he he - that's funny.

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

26. That would totally piss me off too.

I don't envy your situation. That's why I just hook up to the Vino IV, catheter, and throw the kids in the doggie crates when I'm seriously drinking.

[Xipe Totec]

27. Ironic, isn't it?

[krispos42]

33. Don't you think?

[Xipe Totec]

34. I think I think. Though I'm not sure...

:P

[krispos42]

35. You might think, therefore you might be?

:rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

36. I think I thunk, therefore I'm a cyborg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunk

PS: I'm yanking your chain, 'cause I like you... :P

Generally, If I don't reply, it means the opposite....

[krispos42]

39. And all this time I just thought that "thunk" was bad English...

Hope my son never becomes a programmer, otherwise I'll get "I told you 'thunk' was a word!"

:-)

[SOteric]

30. Here's what you need:

My mother used to make a cheap, but classy version by sewing medium-weight beads and charms to a ladies' decorative handkercheif. Keeps the little buggers out of your wine and fruit juices.

[Xipe Totec]

37. This is why the Spanish invented Tapas

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapas

Tapa tradition began when Castile's King, Alfonso X of Castile or Alfonso the Wise, recovered from an illness by drinking wine mixed with small dishes between meals. After regaining his health, the king ordered that taverns were not allowed to serve wine to customers unless the beverage was accompanied by a small snack or tapas. The word became a kind of loophole in the law to allow drinkers to imbibe alcohol.

A tapa is a covering (over your glass of wine) to keep flies and other nasty stuff out off yor wine...
