Are you confessing to underage drinking (or am I confused on my legal drinking ages)?
A few centuries ago when I was you age my favorite way to get blasted was to get a can of coke and a bottle of rum. Drink some coke, pour in rum until the can is full again, drink some more coke, pour in rum until the can is full again, repeat as necessary.
One of my favorite scenes from Bad News Bears is when Matthau’s Buttermaker pulls up to coach his first little league practice, pours out some Coke from the can onto the ground, and then fills up the can with something like Jim Beam. I always laugh like a drunk at that scene.
Heresy! It’s hilarious. One of my favorite movies of all time. About the only way it could’ve been better is if they’d cast Jodie Foster instead of Tatum O’Neal, but admittedly, that’s just a matter of young lesbian taste.
I’m glad you’re facing your fears and not letting the geese run your life 🙂
I leave for Italy on Thursday. I’m excited, but a little nervous because Izzy wants me to do Italian shoe blogging. Pictures of shoes? Why oh why doesn’t she want me to blog about Burlusconi and the Italian political mess — it would be so much easier 🙂
I’ve even made friends with the ducks and now I love them.
I hope you have a safe and wonderful trip — and remember, the new rules let you bring 4oz of lube on the plane, but no more than that! So ration it carefully. ;p
I knew you weren’t going anywhere that’s why I didn’t technically say goodbye on your dolphin diary. Now that it’s clear your hiatus was a total of only 2 hours — I’m sorry I said I’d miss you. 😛
And, truly … with me to practice on, maybe you can work through that whole humorless business. So for me, it’s like charity work, without leaving home 😛
There was a time when I could count on Family Man for an occasional late night with me. But it seems that he’s gone completely over to the geezer side.
No, of course not, But you already turned down the opportunity to fly to Chicago to meetup with the BooTribbers. I remember the excuses. Cost, campaigns, blah, blah, blah …
I figured you weren’t going to fly to St. Louis to have dinner with a bunch of Orange people.
Some local guy tried to plan one in July but it was impossible because of everyone’s vacation schedules so it was dropped.
So this morning on the spur of the moment I decided to plan one. I e-mailed the 8 people I knew had been interested. I’ve already heard back from 5 of them and 3 are coming. Plus me.
This has to be about the easiest thing I’ve ever organized. Of course, I’m going to make someone else in the group do the diary at dKos inviting everyone else 🙂
feel free to trash it
Hey there! How’s it goin’? I gotta work up the tolerance level a little, or start eating a little more.
glad your could work us into your busy schedule. 😉
Thanks for the welcome, Mrs. Early Morning Riser!
How goes it? I am feeling a little bit of an effect from 2 beers. I am ashamed.

I did not drink that liquid out of that bottle.
Furthermore, it depends on what your definition of ‘confessing’ is.
😀
I see — the effect actually comes from the physically taxing task of memorizing the labels of each beer bottle.
Heh, I wish. I don’t have enough RAM for that task.

but I see that it came out in 76 so he must have learned the technique from me.

I haven’t seen you in forever. How are the geese? Are you tired of the midwest yet?
The geese still make me nervous, but we remain at peace. Midwest is okay, even if they don’t know how to vote.
How’s the lawyer game? You been to Italy yet or is that still a future trip?
I’m glad you’re facing your fears and not letting the geese run your life 🙂

4 oz. huh? That should be enough for the mile high club … 🙂
Thanks Indy, I’m sure it will be a great time and I’ll have lots of good stories when I get back.
I love a new lounge. Before all the cretins — oops. Hi!
What have you got against
cretins?
They’re sooooo messy.
I just got back from seeing the new Edward Norton movie.
How was your family “stuff” — is your sister OK with being 50 but still younger than you ? (Sorry but that’s what my sisters always do to me.)
Family stuff was fine; sister is fine with being 50.
And she’s my baby sister, she damn well had better be younger or I want some physics re-explained to me.
Is your MIL there yet?
Yup, she came back with us from the birthday dinner.
so … what’s her user name? Is she going to join in the fun here 🙂
Martha. Nope, she’s happily ensconced in our new chair, chatting, and catnapping.
You got a new chair? And sniff hasn’t claimed it yet?
It’s very nice leather and his sharp, little nails are not getting near it.
HEY! I am not a cretin! 😛
I knew you weren’t going anywhere that’s why I didn’t technically say goodbye on your dolphin diary. Now that it’s clear your hiatus was a total of only 2 hours — I’m sorry I said I’d miss you. 😛
You’re not sorry. You know you missed an irreverently unfunny college student! 😛
I suppose.
And, truly … with me to practice on, maybe you can work through that whole humorless business. So for me, it’s like charity work, without leaving home 😛
I thought Family Man was the lazy guy here!
He must be asleep already.
Yeah, he bailed out after the last cafe closed. Naptime. 🙂
There was a time when I could count on Family Man for an occasional late night with me. But it seems that he’s gone completely over to the geezer side.
Sooner or later, everyone embraces the dark side. 😛
the geezer has left the building
Well, I still have Mary to make fun of, so I should be good to go. 😛
so … it’s just you and me? This might be dangerous for you if I weren’t multi-tasking right now 🙂
I’m planning a St. Louis DKos meetup. And no I’m not asking you to fly in.
What, do you hate me now?! 😛
No, of course not, But you already turned down the opportunity to fly to Chicago to meetup with the BooTribbers. I remember the excuses. Cost, campaigns, blah, blah, blah …
I figured you weren’t going to fly to St. Louis to have dinner with a bunch of Orange people.
Yeah, the same reasons do apply.
When is this planned for?
September 24. 6:30 at Schlafly Bottleworks – a local brew house.
Some local guy tried to plan one in July but it was impossible because of everyone’s vacation schedules so it was dropped.
So this morning on the spur of the moment I decided to plan one. I e-mailed the 8 people I knew had been interested. I’ve already heard back from 5 of them and 3 are coming. Plus me.

It’s a Monday…definitely can’t go then.
um … it’s a Sunday.
Close enough! Sunday is the new Monday, anyways. 😛
uh huh
oh … that was FUNNY, I just realized 😛
Yeah…it was. 😀
Anyways, I gotta get ready to go to sleep. Going out to the ‘burbs once again to canvass for Patrick.
Have a great day tomorrow. Hope it’s good weather for you to be out ringing bells.
Wouldn’t mind if it was bad – it’d probably mean that more people would be home.
