It's no Game sitting on the Throne!

Never storm a Bastille sans vin Antoinette!

You know what you call somebody from Maine? A Mainiac! That's cuz they don't mind the 9 month winters that didn't get the notice about global warming, the dragon sized mosquitos and black flies, and the fact they are willing to man the "Wall" to protect us from an invasion by the Canucks (Eh?) or even White Walkers for that matter. But not to worry...Mainiacs are a hearty lot. Tempered on the outside by a harsh environment making them tougher than Valerian steel, and fortified on the inside by the magical elixir we call wine. That's right... ever since Tyrion Lannister visited the north and taught the locals that "everything is better when you've got some wine in your belly" the people keep living longer and longer. Just ask one of Maine's "wildlings", Florence Bearse of Bangor, who just turned 100 and celebrated by doing a handstand wine chug. Florence claims that the secret to a long life is drinking plenty of red wine, not taking any baloney from anybody (salami is ok), and avoid ruling from the Iron throne. We already know wine helps lower cholesterol, prevents heart attacks and strokes, and delays cognitive disorders. Obviously, the masked protestors at the G-20 in Hamburg were drinking kiddie alcohol like Fireballs instead of a brain developing beverage like wine, because nothing gets your point across more than burning down family run businesses... not! Time to smarten up people. Drink lots of wine. Live long like Florence, and enjoy life like the French who know how to endure maniacal kings as bad as Joffrey, femme fatales worse than Cersei Lannister, blitzkrieging armies worse than dragons, and disruptive strikes that would make G-20 protesters scurry home to the shelter of their parent's basement in time for season 7 of G.O.T. They do this with that classic French je ne sais quoi (translated as a lil sumpin sumpin, or a little flavor flav) and wine. How do I know this? I drink wine, I know things.  Help the French celebrate Bastille Day this week and the fact they haven't been invaded this century. Also, live longer, get smarter (de blasio), and enjoy the summer sunshine by drinking more wine. Remember, winter is coming! Live life with elan and a Bordeaux! Or is that a blonde and a Margaux? Either way, if you have a point to make, make it an intelligent point and For What It's Worth...There's battle lines being drawn. Nobody's right if everybody's wrong. Young people speaking' their minds...It's time we stop, Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look! What's going down?
