I saw an embroidered wine towel today in some artsy-fartsy store downtown. Well, I saw several, but the one I liked best said "Tis better to have loved and lost than to live with a psycho the rest of your life". Funny! My only problem is, what if you're the psycho? I mean, if you are truly psycho, do you know it? What if both partners are psycho? Do they think only the other person is nutszoid? Or, if a person can be psycho and realize it, do they think the other psycho is normal? This are the things that keep me awake nights, my friends. Yes, I have issues.
I've also come to wonder about mushrooms. Apparently, their roots can be like 50 feet long or some such. And, since they can get moldy if left too long in the fridge or on coutertops, do all fungus (fungi) grow fungus? Isn't that rather paradoxical and wrong somehow? Seriously, I accidently forgot about a carton of those giant portobello mushrooms in my fridge once...for like months. When I went to clean out the drawer, I swear to goddess the damn things had toadstsools growing on them. It probably didn't help that the appliance was not working properly and tended to heat the bottom drawers and dump liquid in them, but still. For some reason, I feel an urge to hunt down a science teacher and make them explain to me why fungi can grow fungi. It just seems wrong somehow...against nature.
Another thing, what the hell are wine towels for? At least I assume they were for wine...they were next to a bunch of wine decanters and wine accesories. Do people really need wine towels? I thought you just poured the shit in a glass and drank it. I did not think special equipment was necessary. Or maybe they're for klutzes like me who spill things from football fields away. I'm just wondering. I'm having a hard time imagining a fancy restaurant using embroidered wine towels with witticisms on them...or without wit, but logos. Seems to be tacky and low-class.
Oh and thanks to Queenie's blog, again, I checked into a local pottery place since she gave me a creative compulsion. They too, do a royal night of sorts, only over here it's referred to as Queen's Evening or Diva's Afternoons. They also offer family nights/days. Dammit. Now I'm going to go spend money...and wonder about wine towels and fungus. Who says being bipolar isn't any fun?

I think wine towels are for the thing that those guys who know wine do that thing where they wrap the towel around the bottle neck so it catches the drips or something....
I hate 'things' like that. The men and the pretention. Oh well, they were cute. Love your bulldog btw. I want one in the worst way...a real one that is.
