626415 2008-01-01 08:09:00 Damn. I thought it was an invitation to get (or at least try for) one.
I had my acceptance speech all ready too.

626416 2008-01-01 10:59:00 Sorry about that, R2x1 - I had no intention of raising your hopes too high. But that does not mean that the acceptance speech has to go to waste. Please show us just what you are capable of. I'm certain we all love to watch a master at work. Roscoe (6288)
626417 2008-01-01 18:33:00 Aww shucks. Sorry, hangover first. Making speeches while closing in on a hangover is a jealously guarded Parliamentary Privilege.
Alas, hangovers are not so easily caught as they used to be. I suspect that during 6 o-clock closing days, all the easily caught hangovers perished before they had a chance to breed.

626418 2008-01-01 21:01:00 Six o-clock closing? Have you seen it? Those boys were the undisputed kings of drinking. You've heard of Darwin's theory of evolution? Those boys were a classic example. They all had evolved with throats like a flush lavatory - they had to. When you only have a maximum of two hours to ingest as much alcohol as is possible you needed every advantage. Those flush lavatory throats had a dual purpose as you might have guessed. They could throw up as well as they could drink which is why, of course, that the floor and walls of those pubs were tiled. After the punters had left they brought in the high pressure hose - very much like a cow shed.

So as much as I respect your undoubted ability at imbibing, you just can not command the same respect as those guys. They were definitely a special breed of which there are few remaining today.

They were good training grounds on how to imbibe. :) :) :)

626420 2008-01-02 00:00:00 Yep, nip in after work and down 6 jugs before 6:15.
Then they took all the skill out of it by bringing in wimps hours.
Also, for a very brief period, the first road code with a blood alchohol level vs accident probability graph showed that the best performance was after a few drinks. It was used to explain to the wife that you were late due to road safety precautions. The graph was almost as short-lived as the wife's strained belief threshold.
Alas I have no great ability at imbibing, but I still enjoy the training.

It's kinda in the back of my head . . . like a hangover from days of yore . . but I don't drink like that any more . . although a little Scotch will be rented from nonce to nonce .

You never really OWN liquor or beer anyway . . . it's just rented for a short while .

Anyway . . . on the topic of song lyrics (here comes da hijack) my sister used to think the song "Poor Side Of Town" was really "Four Sided Cow" .


Johnny Rivers ~ On A Four-Sided Cow



How can you tell me how much you miss me
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
The rich guy you're seein' must have put you down
So welcome back, baby, to the poor side of town
To him you ain't nothin' but a play-thing
Not much more than an overnight-thing
To me you're the greatest that I've ever found
And it's hard to find nice things on a four-sided cow .
I can't blame you for trying
I'm trying to make it, too .
I got one little hang-up, baby:
I can't make it without you
So tell me, are you gonna stay now?
Would you stand by me, all the way now?
With you by my side, they can't keep us down
Together we can make it from the poor side of town
Together we can make it from the poor side of town
So welcome back, baby, to a four-sided cow"
