Anyone no how to cure a pit bull with gas? Not that I’m not proud of him for his overwhelming emissions, but damn I gotta breath at least long enough to smoke a joint. Work sucks tonight, but at least I get fresh air here.

A-har, ye scurvy dogs!

Drink Bushmills whisky (the official whisky of the “Guy Stuff” thread)!

I’m glad to see we finally have a decent sponsor on the message board home page.

Damn it UncleBeer! Where’s my credit card?! Someone hurry up and get over here and drink this beer before it goes bad or something… and no, I’m NOT wearing one of those tacky french maid outfits… it will clash with my leather.

Having recovered his laptop, glee lies in hospital staring in disbelief at the screen, mumbling ‘Beer, french maid outfits, leather miniskirts…’.

He bursts into song…

‘I gotta get out this place,  
if it’s the last thing I ever do  
I gotta get out this place,  
Girl there’s a better life for me and you…’

Unfortunately hospital orderlies move in smoothly with the straitjacket - can no-one help our frustrated party goer?

::::Cristi enters glee’s room, in a nurses uniform:::

Well hello there, Mr. Glee! And how are we feeling today? I hope we’re feeling better. It’s time to take you down to X-Ray now, okay? Here, let me help you into this wheelchair…

:: :opens door:::

Oh c’mon glee, you didn’t think I was a real nurse, did ya? Let’s get going!

Don’t worry about the cops outside your door. My chest looks pretty good in this nurses outfit. They never looked at my face.

What? Oh geez, I’m sorry! Of course I can get you out of that straightjacket. Just a sec.

:::rummages through purse:::

Here we go! Don’t you just love Swiss Army Knives? I’ve got a straightjacket key right here. There! All set! Now let’s get out of here. There’s much alcohol waiting for us! Yes, indeed, you most certainly _do_ owe me.

::kicks door open with foot::

Okay Falcon and Coldfire, here’s the case of JD you wanted…are you two getting personally involved under that table or what?

Buncha amateurs. Here, UncleBeer, grab the case; toss one to the Chief, or brain him with it if he keeps bitching about Bushmills.

You wouldn’t _believe_ the crazies I saw on the “booze run”. First there was this high-stepping idiot in a kilt (and a high wind) chasing after something that looked like wombat with a bad case of mange.

_Then_, I kid you not, there was this doofus in a hospital gown, pedalling away on a damned bicyle, like a Tour de France champ that never heard of dress codes. But get this, he had this total babe _nurse_ draped cosily over the handlebars! He looked a little glazed, but both sporting shitgrins like a mule eating thistles.

Some people have _no_ common sense.

Hey, I picked up some Frankenstuff hot dogs. Ever wonder if they explode in a microwave?

jtm, pour me a drink while I ask Ayesha where she bought those _wicked_ leather hot pants…

:::kicks open door:::

Hey all! Damn it’s cold out there! Do not ever ride on the hadlebars of a bicycle in weather like this. You know the tongue-on-the-flagpole scene from _A Christmas Story_? My butt feels like that.

Glee will be in shortly. He’s still in shock. This is all a bit much for him. He’s clutching his laptop like Linus’s security blanket. I’ll just take him a beer.

Has anyone got any sweats or something I could borrow? This nurse outfit is not exactly thermal, and the way you gentlemen are not looking at my face should tell you one thing–yes, I am cold. Hey, is that Bushmill’s?

:::knocks back shot, front of uniform gets slightly smoother:::

Much better! Thank you!

Ummmm…just got back from my yearly “evaluation” in our nation’s capitol… I told them that this time I had a real great job in “Computer Lifestyle System Development”, and left UncleBeer’s address as my supervisor, and y’all as references, so please don’t blow the whistle, or it’s back to the hogpen for me…

OK, right, but I got three bags of cheap fireworks at the Alabama line! Cristi, check this out: “Ten Thousand Flaming Fingers” “Emits showers of sparks and general mayhem”-Here ya go! Think there’s plenny left for everyone… what’s your fave?

Oh yeah, stopped by the JD Distillery in Lynchburg, and after a few well-placed Southern niceties, got us a special Millenium Barrel. Thank the Lord for sweetness & tight sweaters!

OOooooooo…more JD! (Although, random factoid. You can’t buy JD at the distillery in Lynchburg…it’s in a dry county in Tennessee. How wrong is THAT?)
