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.
"Bad to the Bone" is the theme-song of this Fossil! lol
ReplyDeleteI'm bad to the epidermis these days.
DeletePS: No meetings for this rum-soaked married Fossil! A few parties, but mostly it's just sip, sip, sip, lol.
ReplyDeletePPS: Would I lie about the "just sip" part? Just call me Mr. Diplomat..
ReplyDeleteWhy, I'm sippin' as we speak! LOL
DeleteI could tell you about those meetings...
ReplyDelete...but then I'd have to kill ya.
That's OK, Skip... I don't need to know. ;-)
DeleteA "sippin' " joke/tale about Jackie Gleason:
ReplyDeleteOnce 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!
I like that, coz I both understand and relate.
DeleteWhile youse guys were thinkin' last night, the Barco crue was imbibing in a big way. Ugly mornin', though...
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about moderation is a clear head in the mornings. Just sayin'. ;-)
DeleteI would suggest that you only have a drinking problem if you drink alone but believe you actually have company.
ReplyDelete(You do realize we're all a fig newton of your imagination, right?)
But The Voices are my FRIENDS!
