On Sobriety

On Sobriety, article. I was touched.

He has a photo of a lynx that points to his links page. Haha. Get it? Lynx → linx. Funny.

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

Yeah. I have to admit I didn't get it until he mentioned it. Very subtle joke.
(Josie, no need to point out that it's me whose dull, we know you think so.)

Mike is one of the sharpest writers I know.

Veronica Lodge said...

He can't be too sharp if he made a lame pun like that. Those are a crutch.

Who is Josie?

What's with all these people who can't handle their booze? Fucking wimps.

TTL,
Thanks for pointing it out, I too hadn't spotted it yet.
I once saw, on the pages of a nudist site, a button representing a bare human back, and underneath was an arrow pointing left and the word "Back".
I should send them a photo of my forward, no? ;-)

In the 8-bit days, the Lion King videogame displayed a pair of treading paw prints every time you pressed "Pause"...

I wish I could say "I've got a million of these", but alas, I'm through.

Touching story. Too bad he didn't give room for supportive comments.
It's surprising how many unlikely people will turn out to have addiction problems. Maybe alcohol consumption should be far more strictly framed by regulations.

Come on, Ronnie, even coming from you that's a bit nasty.
Remember how you drove your daddykins to cope with your repeated shopping sprees? And I can definitely testify that old Hiram Lodge is no wimp. Every time he tosses me out in the alleyway, I feel like I'm a bird for a while.

As for Josie, don't pretend you don't know our friendly competitor band, The Pussycats.
Speaking of which, Betty said to tell you if you miss rehearsals again this evening, you're out of the Archies for good. I think she means it. She had "that look". Even Reggie didn't snicker when she said it.
Better shape up, girl, or our next dates are seriously compromised. (Come on! You KNOW it's you that I love.)
Pretty please?

Mr. Lodge originally had no first name. He's certainly no dirty jew.

I don't know what good such a regulation would do -- forcing people to drink alcohol against their will just doesn't sound right to me.

I think we should all be allowed to learn the habit at our own pace.

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

I hope so, because I really don't like the taste of anything alcoholic, be it beer, wine, or hard liquor.
I can only stand a little sweet liqeuer occasionally, and if I was to be forced to drink a lot of that, it would really add calories.

I'll have a glass of wine or something to be polite, but I've never had much of a taste for it either.

What do YOU know about my father, you dipshit? Mind your own damn business, douchebag!
Like, I'm having a private conversation with my boy-toy here, HELLO?

"forcing people to drink alcohol against their will just doesn't sound right to me."
Well, that wasn't my ORIGINAL idea. But now that you mention it...
Might keep the voters in a far better mood after the election's hype is over. :-)

Advantages of making brief comments: my verif just told me I could "unsplit".
Pass the scotch tape, Malcolm.

Anonymous, you have sunk to a new low. That wasn't even remotely funny. Just sad. Sad, sad, sad.

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

On the other hand, what's life without breaking your own previous barriers?

Pascal [P-04referent] said...

Probably involving a lot less running after your cattle...
