Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 07, 2014

Being a gator has it’s drawbacks.

Is that a symptom of a wino-virus?

He spelled whine wrong…

Rule #1: It’s not really proper to smell the cork.Rule #2: If you ignore rule #1, at least take the cork out of the bottle.

This nose has quite a wine to it.

I drink the wine to make me feel fine ! Must be nose day, “Pickles” has a nose thing going on also.

The days of wine and noses…

Poor Larry. And, even more, what a waste of wine, good or bad! Just give me a cheap bottle of merlot (I’m thinking Yellowtail) and I’m happy….

The mama croc has gone back to her old hair style.

I would SO read that blog regularly.

Stick with beer, Larry. And get the cans so you don’t stick them up ur nose.

Nice . . ☺

Another croc teaser, SO much funnier than rat. I swear when I started reading PBS, the crocs were regular characters, not once a month.

Hey, that’s Snot Wine!

Good answer! LOL

WINE EXPERT:A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palate but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.

Black Stump Bordeaux is rightly praised as a peppermint flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good Sydney Syrup can rank with any of the world’s best sugary wines.Château Blue, too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.Old Smokey 1968 has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian Wino Society thoroughly recommends a 1970 Coq du Rod Laver, which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: eight bottles of this and you’re really finished. At the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is Perth Pink. This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is ‘beware’. This is not a wine for drinking, this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.Another good fighting wine is Melbourne Old-and-Yellow, which is particularly heavy and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.Quite the reverse is true of Château Chunder, which is an appellation contrôlée, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation; a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.Real emetic fans will also go for a Hobart Muddy, and a prize winning Cuivre Reserve Château Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga, which has a bouquet like an aborigine’s armpit.

- quite brazenly stolen from Monty Python.

A true classic song!!!!

What goes with Zeeba meat, white wine or red wine? (Perhaps striped wine?)

If laughter is indeed the best medicine, then Larry packs a mega-dose every time he shows up, WAY TO GO mr. P, thank you!

“Me try to sniff cork, went up nose, me tried to smell wine, bottle went up nose, me tilt head back, good sinus cleaning and a good buzz. Me give this wine a good review.”“Next me try champagnee. Soon as figure how to get wire off.”

I hate it when that happens.

Perhaps Larry should buy wine in a carton or a carboy

I’d suggest two thing: a trip to an ear/nose/throat doctor to clear up your blocked sinuses so you can experience different tree smells for yourself.An adult literacy course. Clearly, you did not understand what Nabuquduriuzhur wrote.

Larry, to test the aroma, you’re supposed to pour the wine in a glass, not try to stick the bottle up your nose!

I have missed crocs muchly. Want more!

hey cdgar! They’re not gators, they’re crocs! There’s a big difference!

Poor Larry. But I guess there are worse things he could stick up his nose.

Also, the taste was kind of snotty.

How wide is the bottle and can it go further?

Larry should forget wine and go to Guzzler’s Gin! It worked for Red Skelton!

pop I can breed agains!!!!!!

Breath…

That’s not how you sniff a cork.
