Your nips look tipply tonight! Good point on the UB thang, the folks who call me that are all younger than seven. Iā€™ll (safely, I might add) assume you are older than seven, so please call me by my adult name, WildBill. Or by my new pet name, the Big Billy Club **TM** wants to ride! ---

Not drinking, since I just got back from the bar a little while ago, but ā€¦ TruePisces, speaking of receptacles, Iā€™ve got just the one (er, two?) in mindā€¦ ---

Wowā€¦I just went from ā€œhappy drunkā€ to freaking moron. Went to the frig to get more smokes. Forgot what I was doing and grabbed another beer. Tried to twist the top off. Noticed it was a Harpā€™s and not a Rolling Rock when my hand hurt and cap wasnā€™t going ANYWHERE. So, I think ā€œPutzā€ and grab a Rolling Rock. Then I look over to my computer desk and see a brand new freshly opened bottle of Rolling Rock, condensation forming on the outside, verging on the slow drip along the bottleā€™s edge making me lick lips, wanting to tip that over my dry lips to my waiting tongueā€¦Oh yeahā€¦I needed SMOKES! My hand hurtsā€¦I may need to type one-handed for a bit hereā€¦ ---

I just finished my fourth Montana Trout Slayer Ale (no, Iā€™m not kidding), and Iā€™m feeling a nice buzz. And **TM** , I know just what youā€™re feeling. Allow me to share a little storyā€¦ Many years ago, I worked in a restaurant in Houston which had the following as its slogan: A great Italian restaurantā€¦a heck of an Irish bar! Yes, you heard right. Anyhoo, every St. Patrickā€™s Day, we put on this hellacious day-long debauch (no, itā€™s not as much fun as it sounds, particularly when you have to work from 8am to 2am the next morning). Well, I was bartending during my first one of these wing-dings, and it was slammed in there. People twenty deep, screaming for beer. One guy orders a Sam Adams. Iā€™ve been popping Buds, Millers, and Coors(es?) all night long, so I grab the SA, put my hand on the top, and WRENCH!! One severely bleeding hand later, they let me go outside and cook chicken kabobs and sausage-on-a-stick on the outdoor grill. A much better gig, I assure you. So a light :smooch: for **TM** ā€™s injured hand, and maybe another Trout Slayer for meā€¦ ---

Talk to me on Friday. Iā€™m ready to get some serious drinking in on my night off. Weā€™ve had to cater a party for Placidio Domingo at the L.A. Music Center (700 guests!), and Iā€™ve been busy. Very busy. I plan on making good friends with Jose Cuervo Friday night. ---

I would have been drinking when you started this thread, if I could have found a damned corkscrew for my wine! I like wine. It has a curious affect on me. It makes me feel all warm and tingly in myā€¦warm and tingly bitsā€¦šŸ˜ƒ ---

Wellā€¦the semi boyfriend is now the ex-boyfriend (read the beer run thread and did not like THAT one bitā€¦) Oh wellā€¦like George Carlin said " Unfuck him" beacause heā€™ll never have the pleasure of my company and Iā€™ll never have to fake another orgasm. Scott if youā€™re reading this- Iā€™d say about 75% was faked,20% I thought about someone else to get me off and a whopping 5% were as a result of you doing something right-probably by pure luck. So Iā€™m here toasting my new found freedom with a bottle of Stoli and a carton of pink grapefruit juice. Rusty Dogs for hardygrrl tonight. Anyone feel like giving me a nice long massage? I am sooo tense. ---

**Hrdygrrl** is a free woman! (I am so sorry about the 5%, ouch!). Now if I only lived closer the Miamiā€¦ Hey! Spiffling 2001! See ya there!?! (F\*ck him if he canā€™t take a thread!)
