  1. I already did the Random Ten, and the bonus guilty pleasure track, but here’s my random wine: Mission Hill Five Vineyards Cabernet Merlot 2003 (Okanagan Valley), which I won as a door prize at this year’s Canada Gala.

  3. Very metal intensive Friday Random Ten™. More or less the way I like it, though a little more genre variety would have been nice…

    Artist — “Song”

    Charlie Parker — “Bebop (Take A)”
    Iced Earth — “Life and Death”
    Pantera — “I’m Broken”
    Nile — “I Whisper in the Ear of the Dead”
    Fear Factory — “Archetype”
    Anthrax — “Antisocial”
    Pitch Black — “Pop Off”
    Trivium — “Declaration”
    Rotting Christ — “The Opposite Bank”
    Coal Chamber — “Anything but you”

    Non-random Bonus Song: De la Soul — “Me Myself and I”
    Very old-school De la Soul…good shit.

    Snooty xenophile. What’s wrong with good old American wine like MD 20/20? Every sip you take puts a hard-working, patriotic American boozemaker out of work, and forces him to shame himself and his family by taking government handouts. Foreign winemakers donated 500 million euros to al Qaeda last year, and your blood purchase helped to kill three American GIs. I bet your underwear and homewrecking sexual devices are foreign, too.

    I spent a lot of time in high school funding Carlo Rossi and his family. I think I did my part.

    French and Japanese. Owww…

  8. Hey, who says we wear undies?

    All your straight male students who have learned about your blog and sneakily read it just popped enormous wood. Nice going, Ms. LeTourneau!

  10. Do they still say that? Jeez, that was the lingo in my day, nearly mumbly mumble years ago. I thought “popped wood” was more hip, more au courant, more now.

    Any of you young punks out there that can confirm Naughty Teacher’s assertion? I hate being out of the high school jargon loop.

    Hmm…our choice was Boone’s Farm. But that’s more of a wine “beverage”.

    In high school, it would properly be called a boner or a woody, but nice try.

    I’ll part ways with you on this one, Lauren. By the time we got to high school, it was usually “hard-on”.

    Who the hell is Carlo Rossi?

    California table wine? Where the fuck did you go to school? When I was in high school, everyone contributed a weekly tithe to August A. Busch IV, then supported the Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

    Jill has previously declared her lust for sinful French undergarments. You, on the other hand, are a free-breezing, skirt-wearing hussy who strategically places herself in front of bright lights to pollute the thoughts of your young charges.

    In Jill’s former and my current neck of the woods, the “lame” beer of choice is Olympia. Which is, sadly, no longer brewed in Tumwater.

  17. Tumwater is a nice little town. I used to live there, with a woman who bore a startling resemblance in appearance, politics and even name, to Lauren. (Twilight Zone theme.)

    The funny Washington name champion, of course, is now and will always be the village of “Humptulips”.

  19. Tumwater. Haha. I love these backwoods little Washington towns with funny names.

    And I have to learn nearly all of them. Grrr…

    Interesting story about Tumwater: The first Americans (non-native) to settle in the Puget Sound area were led by a man who, because of his African-American ancestry, was not allowed to settle south of the Columbia River because the provisional government of the Oregon Territory forbade it.

    His name? George Washington Bush.

  20. Tumwater. Haha. I love these backwoods little Washington towns with funny names.

    12,000 people is “little”? I hope I never get used to that. We don’t even have towns here, so we don’t have any weird local booze. This stuff is made about an hour up the road, though.

  24. 12,000 people is “little”?

    Uh… yes. Any smaller and you’d have a village.

    That said, Humptulips is a hilarious name.

  26. Uh… yes. Any smaller and you’d have a village.

    Christ on a crutch… where the hell do you get all those people? We have 9,000-something in the whole county and that’s only the ninth or tenth lowest in the state.

  30. Okay, we’ve really drifted from Friday Random Ten, Part II, but Washington’s population is highly concentrated in about 3 or 4 counties. We’ve got counties with population densities of less than 2 people per square mile.

  32. but Washington’s population is highly concentrated in about 3 or 4 counties

    Ah, that wacky Western bimodal distribution. A county either has everybody or nobody, versus the local arrangement of equal amounts of fields, trees, and houses randomly distributed.
