Humbaba's birthday was this weekend, so I went out and bought him a bottle of MD 20/20 "Real Grape" flavored wine. Before you think me unkind, pull up a chair and listen to a story.
About 12 years ago I was sitting in my apartment one Friday night when Humbaba dropped by. He was on a date, and, lacking any better ideas for entertainment, he had stopped at a Safeway and purchased a case of beer and the largest, cheapest bottle of "wine" he could find. He grinned, handed me the booze, said "Drink up!" and took off.
My roommate Kurt worked nights at the time, and when he came home at 2 am he found me passed out on the floor surrounded by beer cans and wrapped around a nearly empty bottle of Paul Masson's best. Being a good roommate, he dragged me into the bathroom and went to bed.

Gah!
I mean, he showed up with Bibles!
Technically I wasn't on a date, I'd dropped a friend off at the airport, and that long boring drive back from SeaTac alone leaves one's mind to come up with bad ideas.
And by the way, your punishment for buying me that MD 20/20 is we're going to finish it. (shudder)
