wellexcuse a dumsh!t from the arctic
There's no way you could know -- its just that I think Bob has a lot of Aussies. Now if you bring a 1976 Grange, then I'll drive up to Napa! 
It'd still be like giving an Eskimo a freezer (Bob brought a 1976 Grange to a Lunch I was at and it was Spectacular). Besides you'd have to fight me for a seat at the table with the 1976 Grange SFWine. | | | |

Skwid, I think I'd have dibs since I was born in 1976. I believe you were born, well, earlier. | | | |

| BTW, I will disagree with the premise that has been put forth here. I guarantee you that Bob would love for you to bring a nice bottle of Oz wine. For that fact, me too!
Screw everybody else. The three of us will drink it by ourselves.
And it doesn't have to be that Grange stuff! | | | |

| That would be great.
Keeping our fingers crossed that no more volcanic eruptions close the airport and we are out of here on schedule in 48 hours.
Any last requests for king crab, halibut or salmon must be posted by EOBD tomorrow... | | | In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is
