    Raiders may be up there in crimes committed wearing their gear, but the study I heard had the Yankees as the number one team for that.

    Actually, yeah, I read that a few weeks ago. Yankees hats are worn not only by your run-of-the-mill Brooklyn street thugs but Wall Street white-collar crime guys as well.

    There is yet another non-plural sports team out there, albeit pretty minor league. In Cranbrook (northern British Columbia) there’s a hockey team called the “Kootenay Ice”. How original.

    But anyway, what happened to the bum wine segment, kind of just trailed off? I was looking forward to a rousing comparison of the varieties of bum wines you seem to be blessed with in SoCal, you know, amount of buzz per buck, etc. Perhaps due to the large Asian population in Vancouver, most of the local bums here seem to prefer rice wine, intended mostly for cooking. Cheap, vile, plentiful… what more could you ask for?

    Dustin,
    Our tasting room was kind of an impromptu moment. Seems we should scare up an all-star list of bum wines and really break this thang down!

    “Kootenay Ice” actually sounds like a decent, cheap, high-alcohol-content beer…Are there many Inuit on the hockey team?

    I absolutely loved this show. I just left a comment about the last show, and I feel so bad, but this one really turned everything around, it was awesome! You should defiantly feature more “bum wines”, highly entertaining!
    Also, my favorite team, The Colorado Avalanche, isn’t plural..

    Jessica,

    You are pardoned.

    Inuit… ha. Not to sound terribly jaded and racist, but I believe if there actually were any Inuit on that team they’d be the principal consumers of Kootenay Ice, the beer.

    Never thought of that as a beer name, would be good. There’s a crappy beer called Kokanee produced in that area though, akin to horse pee in my opinion.

    Sadly I think you’d need to travel WAY farther north to encounter Inuit. Aren’t they all up in the Arctic? I probably should know that, being from Canada and all.
