I know that’s right. We all fuckin love Ruth!

Possibly overrepresented on a couple Frank Zappa albums…

Your sweet ass has about the same integrity as all the other bullshit I see (and sometimes even read) every motherfuckin day on this Internet we find one another on… Source verified as original by way of alcohol.

Nice fuckin job, eh…

I fucking love the goddamn Silver Surfer… And Satch…

Pretty sure that’s John Coffey.

Happy Birthday! Hope you have the best damn birthday ever!

G’mornin! I will not drink with you today.

I’m late today, but I didn’t and won’t drink with you today!

Welcome back, CG! Hope you had a beautiful time, man!

Groundhog Day, again!? I’m in! I quit counting days, but it’s been a while here! I will not drink with you this day (again)!!!

Evening, y’all! So far so good, I’m not drinking with you this day!

Thanks, FT.

I’ll edit the post and add a link at the bottom.

Finally fuckin Friday!

I will not drink with you today!!

There’s a great episode of the Timesuck podcast (episode 165: Simo Hayha: White Death)

I’m not going to link to it, because I’m not sure of the thread rules, but it’s a seriously well done and researched podcast on the life of this sniper.

Here’s a link to “Timesuck episode 165: Simo Hayha: White Death” (I’ll use a YouTube link, probably more widely accessible)

G’mornin, y’all! I will not drink with you’ns today!

That made me giggle.

Thanks, Z!

Gray matter, brain, mind, The Boys In The Basement, etc… The part of us that soaks everything up, mentally… just something to focus on. The more immersed in something I get, the less I tend to crave getting shit-hammered to try to shut my thoughts down. (And, honestly, alcohol tends to do the opposite of that, anyways… I would drink to “forget” but the effect was almost always to focus intensely on all the shittiest parts of whatever it was that I was trying to forget in the first place…) Just something I found funny for a moment.

G’mornin! I will stay sober with this wonderful bunch of sweet-assed sober people this day! Mid-week humpday blues, maybe… But, I’m gonna dig in and get the old gray sponge occupied this morning.

Twosday! I will be not drinking with you guys’n gals this damn day.

Hope y’all have as good a time or better than we did! And definitely wish ya better luck if you’re fishing! That’s pretty much the only kinda camping we do, no facilities, no worries. But, now the workweek is back and it’s time to break the donuts.
