the other wingman dropped by
I found this note on the kitchen table this morning... looks like I had a night visitor.
I remember the movie "The Agony and the Ecstasy" with Charlton Heston as Michaelangelo.
He was depressed and couldn't work or get inspired and couldn't complete the work he was doing. He was sitting in a tavern, and some nearby reveler told the burly tavern owner that the wine was bad.The tavern owner said, "Nonsense" and tasted it fresh from the new cask, a huge thing on a cradle.
He said: "Iccchhhh! Its' bad," and spit it out.
Everyone said to him, as Michaelangelo observed "What are you going to do about it!?
"If the wine is bad....POUR IT OUT!" and he took a sledge and whacked the cask and it let out all over. Michaelangelo was inspired by the scene: "If the wine is bad, pour it out!"
