In the big apple we sometimes make better wine than they do
out there in the big banana. The best philosophy is
someplace in the middle, Chicago's great tradition or maybe
in Montana's great fly fishing streams. Here we make grape
juice and MD2020 (mad dog, we used to call it when were too
poor to be down and out in Paris and London). Evan, thank
you for correcting my English grammar with a pull of the
thread, a perfect measure, and a delicate snip that the
Fates would envy. The best humor is often lost here, I
didn't mean to get on a high horse and joust with a lurker
on the good earth. 

--If anyone thinks that I amn't divine
He'll get no free drinks  when I'm making the wine
But have to buy grape juice and wish it were plain
That I make when the wine becomes water again.
