Y’know, this Yank spent Saturday night drinking Guinness at a friend’s birthday party. But then it was probably the imported stuff. And it was cold to boot. So it probably doesn’t count. 😉 Anyway, congrats on 4000 Coldfire. And remind me to tell you my Wally rememberance story sometime. Cheers. ---

Raising a big glass of tequila in his memory, purplebear salutes first Wally, then her buddy Coldy. Here’s to many, many more, my friend. I miss him too, at the oddest times. Sigh. :wally Ah, heck. \ Love ya, man. _blush_ ---

Hail, Coldfire, on your 4K. And to Yojimbo…that song was pretty damn cool. I wish I could’ve heard it instead of just reading it. Irish melancholy makes for some pretty songs. 🙂 ---

Not only is it illegal where I am in the US, even if I were in a position to drink I would not for a few reasons: 1. I’d have taken medicine for social anxiety, among other things, which does not mix with alcohol in the sense that walking in front of a train does not mix with living. 2. Alcoholism runs in my family and I’m fairly sure if I started drinking I wouldn’t stop. 3. It can get damn expensive and the more you drink the harder it is to get drunk. No disrespect meant to those who choose to drink. Just put “root” in back of “beer” when you consider me drinking. ---

Big congrats to you, Coldfire. I hold you in too high of respect to not crash your party (of course, that’s the only time I’m ever gonna say that, you know). And I’m sure Wally’s still getting a kick out of your posts, buddy-pal. Keep 'em coming… ::raises a bottle of Josta::… here’s to your 5000th, 6000th, and all those other zany numbers. Josta… a REAL man’s drink. ---
