A Study in Merlot

Hail fellows, well met, greetings, salutations and thank you for attending this study in Merlot, a chronicle of man's passion for excellence, and a compendium of the finest epicurean pursuits in the history of history. As Oscar Wilde observed: "Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." As I hope you shall see in these studies, Merlot is certainly not "most people" in Wilde's sense.

More Good Fortune: Another Outstanding Proffer from Ghana

Sitting here, in our cutoff jeans, prepairing the boat basin for a long winter, and our journey south to the warmer waters of Florida, Mexico, Costa Rica and points south, to Panama we are happy to report a new proffer from a Mr. "Gaga Smith".

Far be it for us to count our chickens before they hatch, if you will; but here is yet another bit of luck we just had to share with your an our kind readers-- the promise of riches from another's misfortune, which plays wonderfully into our good natured, shameless, bloated, America greed, however flavored with a pinch of irony it might be, like so much seasoned salt on our holiday vittles.

I know that some might see Mr. Gaga Smith's offer as just one more 419 Scam finding its way to our email box; but what if it is not, and what if it is fear alone that holds us back from realizing what those most fickle vixens, the Fates, have in store for us? What if clicking the erase button, or the "report spam" button on this offer is just one more self defeating act we would be taking, as we sit akimbo, watching ourselves tabluate the findings brought to us by people we know, some we pay per bottle and some who labour for love, struggling to make ends meet as they fish empty wine bottles and boxes out of New York's trash pales and dumpsters, all the while aware of those lucky few speeding up the Henry Hudson Highway toward their second homes in their new sports cars for long weekends filled with fine foods, bottled wines, wide screen entertainments and navigating silk undergarments.

Nevertheless, this is not the time of year for chickens, is it?

Please provide you feedback Voignier on this most excellent opportunity.

donated to the less privileged and charity organization. I have all the
necessary legal documents that can be use to backup any claim we may want.

    Excellent warm up Merlot. I have heard of Gaga and his reputation is one that precedes himself. He is considered to be a man among men. Although I am personally not goo goo for Gaga, I believe that his proffer may hold water. He has clearly delineated the plight of his client and his client's entire family. My only question is, "Why is it that so many Miltie-millionaires fall victim to bizarre and early deaths within the continental confines of Africa. Perhaps we should see fit to starting up a company that assists the rich in surviving in today's Africa. If we could get 20 customers within continental Africa that all have an average net worth of $20,000,000 US Dollars and protect them from certain death we should be able to charge a 25% of Net Worth Fee per decade. Thus, our first year would bring in net revenue of $100,000,000.00 US Dollars. Hence if we can attain 10 new customers per year our growth rate at the 11th year would be phenomenal. Let me know what you think about my idea at your most early convenience, if you will
