Try a Vintage sometime...
...Properly aged, a nice Vintage port is a thing of beauty.
I can heartily recommend the Fonseca 20-year Vintage. Even better, of course, would ben an LBV (Late-Bottled Vintage) port. Expect to pay commensurately more for it.
Nigh about 8 or 9 years ago, I purchased a bottle of, I believe 30- or 40-year-old port for [link|/forums/render/user?username=alvitale|my father]. It was suggested at time of purchase that, while it would be delectable to open upon purchase, perhaps another 10 years or so in the bottle would do it well. Needless to say, I am still looking forward to making the trip for the uncorking of THAT bad boy...

vintage port
I neglected to mention that when I was put onto the port-and-stilton cosmological constant in 1995, the port in question was then 35 years old. Yum. Yum.
Yum.
Yum.

After about the fifth or sixth "yum" of the port ...
... doesn't that turn into "yeuuurgggghhh"?

You've obviously never partaken.
I recommend that you get this situation fixed up before the BeepBash turns into a port-and-stilton party.

Please DO NOT do that to me
I can't stand the taste or smell of strong cheese. I would prefer that people get their rotten dairy product fetishes taken care of somewhere where I'm not planning to be.
Thanks,
Ben

Did anyone else just hear Ben say, "Bring stinky cheese"?

ObLibertarianArgument
I'm perfectly within my right to consume my own stilton (or bleu, or gorgonzola, or cambozola) cheese at the BeepBash. If you don't like it, you can move yourself, or move my cheese.
I wouldn't suggest the latter, however. That might lead to questions such as "Who moved my cheese?" General silliness would ensue from that point, I'm sure.
In jest,

the more usual question is "who cut the cheese?"

Gotta point out that I've never been
though I hope to some year... though once again it prolly won't be this year.
So take anything I say about the bash with a large block of salt.

nope, more in line of the snoreatorium
beep's basement has a rug, a couch a recliner and lots of floor space for people to crash on. After eating bbq all afternoon, drinking beer until the wee hours picture 20 or so people zonked out, snoring, belching, farting in their sleep. I often thought it would be most amusing to setup a recording session and sell it to the discovery channel. Most years I stay in a hotel with the family. Last year because I was alone put up a two room tent on the lawn to crash in.
Not to say fart lighting doesnt take place, its just not the major event.
thanx,
bill
