The Gentleman's Club ... or ... The Finest in male misbehaviour

meet with a few of the boys for our usual friday happy hour
much drinking and schmoozing ensued

then we retired to my home to smoke some Bolivar Churchills
[one of the best cubans I have ever had and always a favourite in my home]
I popped a bottle of macallan 1990 elegencia that I picked up in the states
and threw my extensive collection of old jazz on random

we spent a couple hours, smoking tasty cigars talked about society,
sailing and other more impolite topics

then I was hungry and since none of us had eaten
suggested that I whip something up

they didn't want me to go through the trouble and suggested pizza

*sigh*

I told them it was no trouble would just whip up some pasta
it would take about twenty minutes

put some water on the stove
showed the boys the wine cellar

which was greeted by the comment

"Just who are you?"

of course what was meant was
what the hell are you doing up here

I whipped up the following

herb encrusted chicken sauteed elephant garlic wafers
linguine draped in a honey mustard raspberry sauce
asparagus in a yellow curry butter drizzle

and while I had planned a white wine
they had stated a preference for red
so I popped one of my favorite bottles
of a light french table wine
which has a hint of raspberry in the palette
and so fit in quite well with the meal

it was of course

entirely fabulous

and am I trying to see if I can schedule
a dinner party for Wednesday
so as to include the wives/girlfriends
[not to mention actually have an excuse to cook something special]

we retired to the living room for cigarettes and cognac
and vitriolic discussions on bastardry
[or politics as it is sometimes called]

New study shows media biased against truth

*sigh*

Reporter caught just making stuff up again... Again

I think we have reached a point where media is entirely useless or at the very least entirely untrustworthy.

Sure before we had extremist press on the right or left, blatantly making shit up and twisting facts to persue their own agenda, and the mainstream press just reprinting press releases word for word without checking any facts, or even worse reporting on other news agencies stories without doing any added fact checking, so that one poorly written/researched peice can become nation rumor without ever having been subjected to the most cursory examination for truth.

But this is simply too much, I mean call me old fashioned but I expect reporters to at least see the things they lie about. Twice in the past year major journelists have gotten busted flat out making shit up. I suppose its what you get when there are no jobs for all those creative writing majors.

I have no sympathy for em, its not like being a reporter is the most difficult of jobs, sure it may not be as easy as being a tv anchor and just reading teleprompters, but really all they have to do is go places and tell what they saw, or hell, even just call people in those places and write down what those people saw.

But apparently that is too much like actually work

about the girl

just amuse me here
I will post what I decided/did tomorrow
