Haha. I found this from the Niblets’ site and I know I’m almost a year late but I just wanted to say good job.

It’s hillarious!

That is wonderful, I especially like the fact that it has Kevin thinking.

Well, I was actually thinking rather than just tasting it we should glug it down, maybe play a little “Meistertrunk” and see who can drink the most wine in a single draught.

No, really, the entire thing is a joke, a parody of a program but not a proposal for a real event. “Everyone” isn’t really going to get together and do anything except in my imagination. I’m playing off the fact that Sunstoners are stereotypically thought of as rank apostates who would willfully engage in behavior that would horrify their fellow Saints. The “Good Intentions Pavement” is an allusion to the saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, the implication being the wine-tasters are knowingly standing on the road to hell.

Are you serious about the Wine-Tasting Soiree? Excuse my ignorance, but is everyone really going to get together and taste wine? Swish it around in the mouth and spit it out or drink it as well? Really????

jessawhy, it’s true that much of what happens at Sunstone is impossible to parody.

Kiskilili, don’t forget the “Why we left” panel! And would these panels have Starstone sponsorship?
