A few sips of the old rotgut

I bang on the door but she won't let me in
'Cause you're sick and tired of me reeking of gin
You lock all the doors from the front to the back
And left me a note telling me I should pack
I walk in the bar and the fella's all cheer
Order me up a whiskey and beer
If you ask me why I'm writing this poem
Some call it tavern, but I call it home

Fuck you I'm drunk,
Fuck you I'm drunk
Pour my beer down the sink,
I've got more in the trunk
Fuck you I'm drunk,
Fuck you I'm drunk
And I'm going to be drunk 'till the next time I'm drunk

You've given me an option, you said I must choose
between you an' the liquor, then I'll take the booze
I'm jumpin' on Western down to the southside
Where I'll sit down and exercise my Irish Pride

Fuck you I'm drunk,
Fuck you I'm drunk
Pour my beer down the sink
I've got more in the trunk
Fuck you I'm drunk,
Fuck you I'm drunk
And I'm going to be drunk 'till the next time I'm drunk

Quotes from a funny man

Fun Quotes from Terry Pratchett:

I have nothing to offer you except thanks, which of course are notorious for their evaporative tendencies.

She had never mastered the art of appologizing, but she apreciated it in other people.

You can work out how much energy a kangaroo uses when it makes a jump, count how many jumps it makes in a day, and deduce a lower limit on it's daily energy requirements.... Do the sums and you find that the kangaroos daily energy requirments is about ten times as big as anyhting it can get from it's food. Conclusion: Kangaroo's can't jump. Since they can't jump they can't find food, so they're all dead.
Strangely, Australia is positivly teeming with Kangaroos, who fortunatly can't do physics.

Myths, not least Jurassic Park itself, have suggested that dinosaurs are not 'really' extinct at all...Significantly no one has made a film about bringing back dodos, moas, pygmy elephants, or mosasaurs.... Only dinosaurs and Hitler are popular for the reawakening myth.
Both at the same time would be a good trick.

It means that either the universe is more full of wonder than we can hope to understand or, more probably, that scientist make things up as they go along.

Of course, it is very important to be sober when you take an exam. Many worthwhile career in the street-cleaning, fruit picking, and subway guitar playing industries have been founded on a lack of understanding this simple fact.

Back crap

So I threw out my back last weekend, and I'm still waiting for it to get back to normal. I don't need the cane anymore (which I needed the first few days after it went out), but I still have problems standing up if I've been sitting or lying for more than a few minutes. I just hope it goes away before I leave for Cananda on the 18th. I'm not sure if I'll be able to manage the 10 1/2 hour drive if my back is hurting, but I refuse to not go. Which would mean getting up there and not being able toi do anything.
This should be an interesting year to go anyways. Due to timing this will be the first eyar I'll be up there without any other family there. I'm used to either my folks or my sister being there while I am. What makes it so interesting is that while I can get to the cottage without a prob, I'm not sure how to get to some of the place aroudn the cottage without help. There are places in surrounding towns that I like to go to, but I've never been the one to drive to them, which means I've never paid that much attention on how to get there. Since much of the area is just open woods and farm land there isn't a ton of landmarks to show the way. But I still want to take babushka to some of these spots, like the giant Tag Sale and a great fish and chips place (really great when considering that I don't like fish but will still eat there). There's also an amusment area and , well not sure what you'd call it but it's a place that has long concrete slides that you go down in these plastic racers with lever brakes on them for speed control.
But we don't have a comp or even a phone at the cottage so I have no way of getting direction for them. I mean, I'm sure Babushka won't mind if we don't go to them, what she doesn't know right? But I was hoping to take her and I'll be disapointed.
So cross your fingers that my sad old emmory might jst be able to work better than I hope.
Ok, gotta go, my back can't take sitting down this long.
