Speaking of Wineboxes...
Liz's readers mentioned wineboxes in her comments, which got me to thinking... What a perfect cure for the American homeless situation. Donate a winebox to charity. The homeless wine-o will no longer need to beg for change, they can use the winebox's stacked one upon the other to form a rather sturdy home, and then, they can just lay there opening the spout as wine pours from the walls into their stank mouths. They could even have running water, because once the wine is emptied, they can refill with fresh water. No more stinky people on the streets, they can shower in their home! I may even visit someone in a winebox house if it was the House of Merlot. Just a thought...(surprisingly not a drunken one)

Dude, you should get this on the local city voting ballots. Proposition Wine-O. Good concept!
what a terrible, horrible, inconsiderate RUDE comment to make about our nations homeless. don't you know that as much as 70% of the homeless are not winos? But rather mentally ill? WTF is wrong with you, you unsympathetic asshole?
it would be pretty sturdy though. and they could take a shower. okay.
i'll donate mine too.
*grin*
rae
i'd totally "go homeless" if that happened.
AMAZING!!! you just described my ideal home :)
When I was in college, we didn't have soda, kool-aid, juice, milk, nothing...except some Franzia. I remember eating my pop-tart in the morning with a nice cold glass of white zin.
It's unfortunate that coming to work drunk is frowned upon.
Brilliant!

SIRTALKSALOT FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!
but fortified wine doesnt come in a box. M.D. 20 /20 or Wild Irish rose might just eat away at the plastic liner.
When I lived with VK in Auburn, we were all about the boxed wine. In fact, I'm sure some hobos *did* take our boxes and use them for nesting matierals. A glass of white zin mixed with diet sprite was my ultimate wine cooler.
BRILLIANT! Effing brilliant.

I am beginning construction on my Castle du Chardonnay (like a little fort). You will all be invited. Housewarming gifts welcome in the form of gruyere, pecorino, or fontina. Thank you.
I love the ones that have raging arguments with thin air... must have had too much boxed wine.
The "God Bless You" guy usually on the SW corner of I and 18th here is DC is one of my favorites (If I had any box wine he'd get some). He's partially blind (I think), but everytime somebody walks by he wails out "God Bless You," which in order to understand how hilarious it is you'd have to hear in person (maybe I'll record it one day). He reminds me of those Halloween ghosts that have motion sensors and say "boo."
I say we use the homeless as crash test dummies for new cars.
Having said that, I better check and make sure rent is paid.
House of Merlot, hehe, house wine, ok, I'm laughing :-)
