That’s all I wanted to say. I had a couple too many glasses of wine this evening and thought I’d share my dizzy stupidity with everyone. Salute!!! -L ---

I resemble that remark. But then I only drink when I’m awake. If I posted sober, I’d make even less sense. ---

You might be surprised. I’ve written some incredibly lucid posts while black-out hammered and been surprised the next morning by them. 'Course, I’m an expert, don’t try this at home, kids. Not to mention that I write enough crummy posts stone-sober…:rolleyes: ---

I do my best thinking with a couple belts of Scotch as it focuses my thought of the moment, rather than jumping around to other tangents. My typing skills however, go to shit in a big way. Anybody else here like sushi? When I was in school we used to carry bananas around in our pockets. I like long hair, hot showers, nice tits and steak. Hot, juicy steak, preferably Porterhouse. Hey, have you ever had a dream where you were naked at work? Holy shit… I need a drink ---

Does anyone remember whose sig line was “voted most likely to post while drunk?” The anticipated “most likely to moderate while drunk” never did appear. ---

But… I’m so FUNNY when I’m wasted! Ask anyone what Beermenth is like, and they’ll tell you. He’s a big hit at parties. Plus, my spelling dosnt degrade all that much! You’d never know, but for the sheer inanity of my posts and a slight drop in vocabulary. Wait… inanity… Hey, maybe you’d NEVER know! ---

Sage advice indeed.

Walking the cyber line, pushing air into the cyber balloon (rather than blowing so as not to deliver the convictable lungful), reciting the cyber alphabet backwards are so degrading. And having to plan your online time around drinking. Ever tried to find a ‘designated poster’ when you really need one? ---
