LOL! Awesome.

heh heh heh Kelso

THEY FOUND THE WMDs! Oh, wait.

The biggest question;

Is there still wine in the bottles??? That would fetch a verry good price.

No Crosshair, the bottles they found were buried empty, from what they can tell. One was marked in such a way tht it may have been a gift from a Governor.

I bought 20/20 while completely trashed one night, sophomore year, doing a alcohol content to price calculation in my head.

Threw it out when I left the dorm. Not even worth salvaging for a under-21 year old. Yuck.

If I had a case of MD 20/20 I'd throw it in a corner as well, and I'd feel much better the next morning.

Ah, Bum Wines... the timeless classic.

There are two opened bottles of that crap in my fridge right now. Some stupid skank left them here after assuring us that they were "really good". I call bullshiat.

So they found the bottles that Hoagie had place there so that Laverne can send it back to Hoagie through the Chron-o-John so that he can make a battery to return to the past, now Laverne will never get them and Hoagie is stuck in the past forever unless Bernard can replace them.

/obscure

doh! I meant so he can return to the present.

Deadite

That's not obscure! I should hope every farker knows what your talking about...

Ya but you never know nowadays.

MAD DOG.

'nuff said.

Ah, memories of the good ol' days come rushing back.
Slaming down a pint of Maddog, and chasing it with a can of that fine American beer Blatz, or if we were feeling a bit upity some good ol' Milwaukee's Best.
Nothing, but the finest for me, and my crew.

An "FN" seal on one bottle is believed to signify Francis Nicholson, a governor from 1698 into the early 1700s who moved the Virginia colony's capital from Jamestown inland to Williamsburg.

The bottle may indicate the house owner had received wine as a gift from Nicholson, Kelso said.

The article doesn't mention the analysis given by that famous historian, Dr. Brock Way, who said:

"Clearly, this bottle is of the Fnord variety, thus the "FN" indication on it. Given its placement, I would say that the bottle was given as the result of a wager, not as a gift, as suggested by others. I think it is likely that the wager was over which of two men could gather the affection of a local girl, probably named Sarah. This Sarah probably had red hair and was fond of dogs. Furthermore, if Sarah were alive today, right now she would probably be taking a crap."

FARKing archaeologists - "Hey, here is some clue, let's speculate wildly about what it means without even any hint that what we say is true; after all, it COULD be true, and that is what is important".

What's really neat about this is finding so many of them intact -- and still in their original context," Straube said

Really? I wasn't aware that early Virginians were in the habit of taking their bottles and burying them. I thought their original context would have been on a table, or maybe in a cupboard. Well, that's why they are the pros, and I am sitting at home reading FARK.

the frankness of that site really makes me laugh. navigates well, too.

thank you, interweb.

That wine is probably still fresher than that on the shelf at my local grocery store.

Street Trash.

Excellent.

Hey, last Tuesday was an excellent vintage for the MD2020

Their assumptions exploded!

/hm

Had a woman on my family tree and her name was mad dog, from wales circa 1500s i think. maybe i got some money coming to me:P or a teasing that will make me cry.

Good thing their bottles weren't burried out of context.

um... isn't the point of wine that it gets better with age? I mean... fresh wine is also known as grape juice, and is often sold to kids under the brand name "Welch's"

I had no idea that the "MD" in MD 20/20 didn't actually stand for "Mad Dog." You learn something new every day.

/Just had some Lemon-Ice last night

Day of the Tentacle! I love that game.

my favorite wine is a cold bottle of Listerine.

fark last tuesday, monday night was the prime time for 20/20

LoL. MD 202/20.

Ah..the days of being 15, drunk on this garbage, and making love to girls in their parents bedroom.

dicuss.

but really, has anyone been here?

Our best find: in a house we were remodeling, we found
a champagne bottle with a beercap on it, age undetermined,
probably at least thirty years from bottling- we originally
thought it was beer. turned out to be an ancient zinfandel
or something similar, very rich blackberry flavors, truly
a closet classic. and one that'll never be recreated again,
because there was no label or writing on the bottle.

I also have a bottle of homemade peach brandy, circa
1929- it's gotten a little dark, but boy does that stuff
taste nice and smooth.

Old Red Wine!
