When we get our falcon we will train it to steal but much better taste than Doritos.

Seagulls are damned evil thieves. I am forever scarred from the time that I had JUST gotten the ice cream I had been craving at Disney World, I step outside and BOOM! a seagull flies right through my ice cream, taking half and knocking the rest to the ground. bastards all of them.

What happens if the cheese or wine market hits the shitter?


Not that it would, but it conceivably could, especially the high $$ wine market.

I am talking the high end cheese and wine market.

I saw this story on the news yesterday.

These wheels of cheese are worth like 500$ a piece!!!

My Fiance`s father makes the best prosciutto you`ve ever eaten. I have 30 of them curing in my garage. Maybe I should look into setting up some offshore accounts. ;D
