the pinot pounders
khalid and i signed up for a grape stomping competition to be held this weekend. we will be placed in a vat of grapes and a spigot on each vat will let the juice from the grapes to drain into a glass. and then the first team to fill half a glass of wine wins! we were trying to strategize, deciding what attributes would be best to help us win. neither of us are that heavy, nor are we that quick on our feet. but khalid has like no arch, so maybe that will help. i think the biggest thing we have going for us is our name THE PINOT POUNDERS. doesn't that just intimidate the hell out of you? other ones we tossed around were the merlot mashers or the cabernet crushers.
i'll let you know later if the name is enough to get us to the winner's circle.

Sounds fun.
I like "The Pinot Pounders." Though it could also be understood that you and Khalid are huge lushes, pounding back the pinot. Which, I know, you liked before SIDEWAYS.
They had a contest like that on THE AMAZING RACE a couple of seasons ago. If I recall correctly, it wasn't the heaviest people who won.
Make sure you wear purple. And may the best pulverizers win! (Of course, that means the two of you.)

man, the pinot pulverizers would have been even better! if only we had consulted you...
i don't know about the toga. i'm trying to figure out the appropriate clothing. it's also getting kind of cold here, so i'm not really sure what to wear.
