The reporter left out the fact that while we were hitting each other over the head with the wormwood casks, we were simultaneously discussing the relative subjectivity and objectivity of tasting reviews.

Marlow, damn, you're a sharpie...that completely relates to the symbolic reference I intended. Damn. Must be the "wormwood effect"!

I assumed the reporter was at the Ocean City tasting last September.
(Nicely done!

One Pennsylvania native, who preferred to remain anonymous, was interviewed from his hospital bed, weeping through his oxygen mask.
"I never thought it could happen to me. Curse this wretched creation! And curse that wretched man in the overalls who kept doling it out to us! What with his warm smile and candor. He knew what he was doing. It was all a sham!"
Criminal investigations are still pending on the host and this unnamed bartender.
Awesome job, Mac.
