Before going to any wine tasting, make sure to drink some red-bull.  Um, it gives you wings, among other things.

I'm pretty sure these girls moonlight at the Shark.  You can always spot the local talent.

Now it's time for the the Brumos-Sponsored wine tasting.  It is a very formal affair and it's important to represent the Porsche community in a dignified manner.

Have a nice Chardonay and some assorted cheeses.  Here Shiney and Dougie have some delish hors de ovres.

Aaah yes, the three Muscatels.

Always friendly and ready to pour wine.  They had about 60 varieties of wine (six per server)  All were very nice.

Very nice.  This apparent female had a shirt on that said "Mean MoFo".  I guess that's the kind of girl you take home to Mom.  If your mom's a lesbian that is.

We found the following helmet to be not only in poor taste but to have very poor grammar!  Please don't click on the photo to enlarge 

Spicoli (a.k.a.Nurple Junior) and dad have a special moment.
 

"Um, hello Susan, yes, we are behaving responsibly.  No, no, I'm not driving which is good because I can't remember where the car is"

Now that's talent!  Pouring a Chardonay and a Merlot a the same time.  What's even more amazing is that Nurple is still pretty much in a vertical position.  Stay tuned.
 
 
 

Nurple couldn't find any Rose so he made his own on the fly.
 


That means it's about time for the judges to pick Miss Rolex24, 2004.  We make a quick scan around the room in search of a likely winner.  Next it's time for me to graciously bestow the honor on the lucky contestant!


At first she was a wee bit unsure of the true value of the award as evidenced by the red outline of a hand on  my face.  Pretty good swing on that girl!


AAaah, but when she learns of the bevy of prizes her attitude takes a decided swing for the better!
 

Seems to have worked out well.  I'm not taking bribes this year, so things are not nearly as profitable but we have made an excellent choice none the less.

Her husband is practically beaming with pride at the prestigious honor bestowed upon his recent bride!  You can really FEEL the joy here.
 


Nurple tries to explain to hubby just how lucky this little philly is, but is somehow discounted as a worthless drunkard.  Imagine how upset we are at that!
 
 

Mutual Admiration.  Nurple, Stoned-Chip and Spicoli.  "How about some Pizza Mr. Hand?"

Dougie feels no pain as Stoned-Chip looks on.  Nice shirt.  Well they're closing down the bar, so it's time to  stock up, regroup, nd head out.

"I've got mine, let's make like Babys and Head out!"

What a master criminal!  Nurple shows off his booty!  A magnum of Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial Champagne!.

Sadly he's too toasted to realize the bottle is an empty display model....

Now for the action sequence.  The taking of Nurple 1`-2-3

Oh yes, let's all pose for the camera!

Hey - I've got a beverage here man!  Slight loss of composure.

Dad's down but not out...yet.

Nurple appears to have survived.  Now to find his car.  He is in no condition to help so it's up to Dougie and I..

In chinese accent "Nurpee!  Where Ca Is?  Dis a Prenty Stupid you big drunkee mofo!  I'm a gonna kick you rouneye butt"

We call this photo "Pour Nurple".  That's for a number of reasons, including the fact that we Poured him into the back hatch, mainly because he was mostly liquid anyway, and as you can see, he kinda spilled all over the headrest.  Boy am I glad this isn't my rentacar!  Spicoli is out cold.  Luckily StonedChip is in pretty good shape.
 

Back at the hotel Nurple is trying to get his bearings
 

It's not looking good.  His navigational lights are out, he's lost his compass and someone has thrown his sea legs overboard.  Say G'nite nurple!
