There’s always another beer.

Or Wendy Carlos, Ayesha! S/he can still synthesize music out his/her ### though!

I’ve always felt that Beeruser, in view of his forays into philosophic realms in Great Debates, ought to have the sig line that follows, from A.E. Housman:

I love that poem.

“…Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink  
For fellows whom it hurts to think:  
Look into the pewter pot  
To see the world as the world’s not.  
And faith, 'tis pleasant till 'tis past:  
The mischief is that 'twill not last.  
Oh I have been to Ludlow fair  
And left my necktie God knows where,  
And carried half way home, or near,  
Pints and quarts of Ludlow beer:  
Then the world seemed none so bad,  
And I myself a sterling lad;  
And down in lovely muck I’ve lain,  
Happy till I woke again.  
Then I saw the morning sky:  
Heigho, the tale was all a lie;  
The world, it was the old world yet,  
I was I, my things were wet,  
And nothing now remained to do  
But begin the game anew.”

* * *

“Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting.”

Ah…poetry nite at Masterpiece Theater!

It was early last December, as near as I remember  
I was walking down the street in tipsy pride  
No one was I disturbing, as I lay down by the curbing  
And a pig came up and lay down by my side

As I lay there in the gutter, thinking thoughts I cannot utter  
A lady passing by was heard to say  
“You can tell a man who boozes by the company he chooses”  
And the pig got up and slowly walked away

I don’t have an evil side. Just a really, really apathetic one.

Whiskey’s too rough  
Champagne costs too much  
And vodka puts my mouth in gear  
This little refrain  
Should help me explain  
As a matter of fact, I like beer.  
_Yes…he…likes…BEER!_

I think I suggested that one for either him or Unclebeer once, Sylence.

Thanks for the input guys. I deeply appreciate it.

Now let’s sink this thread to oblivion.
