Abstinence makes me cranky, so I ain’t thanking anyone this week.

Quote of the Day:

“Wine is bottled poetry.”

~Robert Louis Stevenson

  1. Second Opinion?
    Wow! Six weeks is harsh. I hope your doctor has a genuinely good reason for it. Otherwise, you might want to confiscate his golf clubs for forty two days.

    1. Uric acid 🙁
      Blood tests showed my uric acid is worryingly high. Because of this, the doctor prescribed a medicine intended to reduce it, but warned about watching the amount of purines I ingest during the treatment.

      So red wine and beer are completely off-limits. I told him I’m a whiskey fan, and he said I could have 2 glasses per week at the most. I’d rather just go completely cold turkey to be honest :-/

  2. NY UFO
    Awww thanks RPG! I never got a photo 🙁

    Why can’t you drink anymore? Health issue? I’m sorry. If it makes you feel any better I can’t drink much at all. One glass of champagne and I get a massive migraine and I don’t know why. It only started recently too. It’s a shame because I like wine and rum (not together), just a small glass with friends. Meanwhile I have a friend who can pound vodka and won’t even look plastered! Like seriously WTF?!

    1. WTF
      At the risk of auto-labeling me as an AA candidate, I can drink 1 or 2 bottles of wine without getting a migraine or becoming inebriated. At the most I get sleepy, and wake up with my tongue feeling like a Welcome mat.

      Ditto with whiskey. I can easily down half a bottle in one night. I felt I was so lucky to have such a high tolerance to alcohol; guess I wasn’t that lucky in the end :-/

  3. other news
    Climate change: No the real problem is that these offshoot groups of crazy bumpkins make all Catholics look like assholes. By baptism I am Catholic, I know global warming (the rate at which it is happening) is a problem and so do many Catholics. These groups think all Catholics agree with them they are mistaken. Hell even some Republicans except global warming they just don’t want to say it out loud less they get thrown to the lions by their own party!

    Egg shaped round thing: A similar story was told by Native Americans, but I can’t find which tribe, and little beings that were round and glowing and flew off into the sky. Maybe aliens?

    Dead celebrities: Michael Jackson will probably be first.

    Monkey: NOICE! But not so much a drop kick, more like a YOU SON OF A BITCH I’LL RIP YOUR FACE OFF!!!!! Which the same reaction you get if you flip someone off in a NY subway.

    1. Not all Catholics were created equal
      I honestly feel these issues against GW and Evolution are an exclusively ‘Merican problem. I went to Catholic private schools all my life, and they never shied away from teaching us about Darwin and Evolution. I’m sure that if GW had become a trending topic back in the day, my teachers would have openly mentioned it on the classroom, even if it wasn’t included in the curriculum.

        1. well…….
          It’s all right. I find that those who believe that humans have anything to do with climate change are the true ignorant folks.

          The entire “glow-bull warming” crap is the product of the watermelons. Folks who seem to be green on the inside, but are actually red on the inside. It’s all about power and control, and nothing more.

          The sooner we shelve all this nonsense into the dustbin of failed socialist clap trap, the sooner we can get on with our lives, and start cleansing our governments of all the watermelons and their enablers.

          1. Watermelons
            Well, I guess that makes me a cantaloupe then? Because while I think human action does contribute in some measure to global warming, I also think it’s only part of the equation.

            We may be just speeding up or exacerbating what is a natural cycle, but that doesn’t mean we should just wash our hands and continue like it’s business as usual.

          2. true ignorant folks
            Can I be a honeydew?
            😉

            I don’t think humans are solely responsible for global warming. Yes the planet has been warming all it’s existence, but ever since the Industrial Revolution in Europe it has been on a steady increase. I agree with RPJ. I’m not Al Gore or Bill Maher, and my knowledge of environmental issues doesn’t extend past ANY professor worth his salt, but I know it’s a problem.

            Are all these ants crawling on my kitchen floor caused by global warming?

            …wait…

            WHERE THE FUCK DID ALL THESE ANTS COME FROM?!!! DAMN IT WHY DID I PICK HONEYDEW?!
