Gonzalo And His Stoopid 'Glowies'

Gonzalo Lira insists on saying that a 'glowie' is a CIA person who he can recognize because they 'glow in the dark.'

Well what the hell's the point of being a spook but glowing in the damn dark?!

He's such an arrogant * there's no point trying to point out the obvious to him. For a start he's already convinced he's so smart he can tell a CIA operator...

Anyway not to worry, there's more important things afoot.

Luminous.

For instance, other 'KP' is heading to down your way, Bill Smith. And she'll be staying there for a month at least. 'Incognito.'

Never mind though, Gonzalo can tell where she is, what she really looks like in RL but 'incognito.'

Right?

At least Orlando wore those elf ears. So he was pretty easy to see. 

Kerli, who really is an elf from Estonia, well she and Brissie Aussie Tyson Illingworth used to write songs and music for Disney shows - like 'Disney on Ice' and all of that. Neither of those two need fake ears, on account dey bof got dem real ones.

So what's really a real 'glowie?'

Well, let's say you are talking to an old school wine-maker. Well they will be inclined to pronounce it 'musca-telle' rather than 'muscadelle.' And no one anyway will much know what they're talking about.

And if you said 'Tokay' they would know you meant Australian muscadelle (or 'muscatelle' then, lol). And if you said 'Tok-ahwee' then they would know you are being Count Dracula, and meaning the Hungarian stuff.

Both of these two wines however, are aged in the barrel for many many years, and that so kills off the alcohol, and in any case, they both have so much sugar in them and not much acidity, that they add brandy spirit to it to lift it back up again!

Muscadelle grapes. Also luminous.

They say that the best Tokaji (that is, of all of the younger versions) are not fortified, but that is only because they are young. The real proper 'eszencia' is not even really a 'wine' with the alcohol never reaching much more than four to five percent, no matter how long it has been fermenting, and so, sshh, don't tell anyone, the 'Tokaji' made for dumb modern Western palates are fortified. Whereas the literal 'eszencia' is not generally fortified, and has hardly any alcohol in it. But still, some of it has been fortified - and I mean the really old stuff. So they were not so 'precious' back then a hundred years and much earlier.

People who argue about these things because they have been to a University or have a read a book, well, they are not 'glowies.'

So, Muslims, sadly, your friend the Count would have been able to give you something, that classes as not even alcoholic. And you could have enjoyed that. Except -, you killed him.

And, seeing that he was not really a 'vampire' he cannot just come back from the dead and offer you some 'Tokaji.'

Oh yes. It does.

A 'glowie' is someone who you might see casting in some rose water in with their Tokay or Tokaji, whichever one... 

And then, the guy who puts in some cardamom pods and a few saffron strands, well, Jesus!

What the heck does he think he's doing?

Well, rose has theobromine in it.

Cardamom is another thing with loads of myrcene in it.

Saffron is mysterious. Increases the neural connections though.

D'you remember about a year ago, I mentioned this guy at the Belgian Beer Cafe, who commented to me about me writing a note using a fountain pen? Remember how he showed me his stock portfolio with pride?

If he knew how to properly recognize things that 'glow,' he would have known to the day, to the hour, to the minute... Wouldn't he?

No special gift telling you some old guy will fall off his bike. No special gift telling you to save ten bucks a week from here on in as another fifty more generals that were whistled up out of nowhere get obliterated, and the interest rate curve moves nicely along.
