Today's Happy Hour Soundtrack



That would be George Thorogood, the only guy who ever wore my ass out at a concert (from dancing), and someone who could arguably be called a drunk.  About which, this:


Yeah, what she said.  We USED to go to parties but today we're more like George.  Conventional wisdom has it that you're not REALLY a drunk until you start drinkin' alone.  Well, OK... we seem to be there, for better or worse.  I don't mind all that much.

  5. A "sippin' " joke/tale about Jackie Gleason:

    Once when in Russia (iirc) Jackie was shooting a segment in the bitter cold and production was falling behind because everyone was always boozed up against the cold. So he called the crew together and said:

    "Look, I understand an eye-opener in the morning, and a mid-morning pick-me-up as well. And lunch without drinks wouldn't be civilized. And of course a mid-afternoon shot or two to keep one going is completely understandable. And then there are the traditional happy -hour cock-tails, of course. And drinks before dinner, wine with the meal and an apertif are what civilization is all about. And of course a toddy or two before bed-time to put one to sleep is often very necessary. I understand all that--but this damned constant sip, sip sip all the time has GOT to stop!" LOL!

  7. I would suggest that you only have a drinking problem if you drink alone but believe you actually have company.

    (You do realize we're all a fig newton of your imagination, right?)
