No, there's definitely no sense in that. Besides, I'm half a bottle deep of some Malbec that costs far too much for the average Joe (thank God I got it for free, needing only to hustle it out of the winery undetected; but accuse me not of being a common thief - just an opportunist at the behest of others with higher employment rank). It's the same grog I was pulling from barrels and filling stranger's cups with at a pan-Sonoma Valley barrel tasting event not four days ago, only now the vino is free of sediments and whatnot, having passed through a .4 micron filter, and contained in an etched glass bottle instead of a thirty-gallon cooper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that my semi-inebriated state is established, let me get down to the nitty gritty of thissahere blog. I intend to conduct things much like everyone else. That is, I will occasionally post my own feelings, desires, gripes, etc. Occasionally I will discuss politics, because although I have already determined that mankind is doomed by our own collective ignorance, the world of elections is still pretty damned entertaining (and even, when considered in the present tense, relevant). I will also talk about sports - specifically hockey - because I was born a Canuck and can't shed that layer of skin. Furthermore, I'm not trying. If I'm stuck for subject but yet still compelled to type, I may scan the news sites and offer meaningless commentary. Once in a while I will point out that my cat, although a sprite at nine pounds, could totally kick your cat's ass, if only because she is a devil's incarnate. She keeps the household dogs at bay, and I am proud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure there is other stuff that will be significant (to me, anyway), and I will post it, because that's what one does with a blog. All I ask of you is to read on, because reading is a lost art in this day and age, far moreso than writing. Or, if your feeling a little wild, print out a couple hundred copies on a roll of paper and wrap them around your body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a disclaimer, you will not attract members of the opposite sex by doing this.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7661676726840526249-4013588397616522891?l=grogged.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://grogged.blogspot.com/feeds/4013588397616522891/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7661676726840526249&amp;postID=4013588397616522891' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7661676726840526249/posts/default/4013588397616522891'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7661676726840526249/posts/default/4013588397616522891'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://grogged.blogspot.com/2007/03/here-we-go.html' title='Here we go!'/><author><name>Grogged</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14128372838312885235</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h171/thelegendbob/shades.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
