happy st pat's

what a stroke of luck! i heard the following song on our national radio service, cbc, and thought it was totally excellent. if there was ever an occasion to enjoy a song of drinking and debauchery, it's st patrick's day.

on a sadder note, a friend of sonny, whom i drove to school most mornings, was just diagnosed with cerebral palsy. at first the medical industrial complex was treating him for major depression and anxiety but after a few more tests, they changed their best guess to cerebral palsy. so, if you're able, go get shit faced for st paddy's day, for life is short and you might not be able to celebrate tomorrow.

get drunk, enjoy the moment and take take a few aspirins along with a few cups of water before retiring for the evening.

i love you sons of bitches.

I keep on hearing good things about aspirin and I'm guessing you've read the same articles. I hope it works just as well when you're drunk.

gb - don't get me started on aspirin! those little rat bastard 81 mg tablets caused me to get a colonoscopy!

if anyone is getting the fecal blood test, stop taking aspirin for a month before taking the sample.

Sorry about your friend, that sucks, I lost another friend last week.

I'm not getting drunk this evening but I am going to the bar for corned beef & cabbage.

I just learned that a sort of friend at the bar was shot five times by his brother-in-law on Monday evening.

And still managed to beat the fuck out of the brother-in-law with five bullets in him, I'm fucking impressed. He is in the hospital but is doing okay.

5 bullets and still able to fight!!!!

superman!

BBC said...

Yup, and from a .45, those are kick ass slugs. Any man that can go on with five slugs in his is one hell of a man in my opinion.

Sorry about the sad news, buddy.

Hope your St. Pat's weekend was fun.

Mine was too fun.

The "fun" hangover lasted until Wednesday.

As for the aspirin thing, stay away from doctors they always find something wrong with you.

As for drinking I'll pass. Only wish I could remember all the shit I did in years past or maybe not. :-)

That's sad about the friend, even though I really don't know what to say, otherwise. I liked the song, but I don't drink anymore. It's too hard on the mind and body now :)

I'm sorry to say I was boring for Paddy's (well, that's pretty usual for me).

Also sorry to hear about Sonny's friend. Life is not. fucking. fair.

Sorry to hear about Sonny's friend, BP. I enjoyed a few on St. Patrick's Day but definitely not as many as I used to when I wore a younger man's clothes. Take care buddy.

king - a 45! where in the body did he get hit?

kenneth - it's been a shitty year but i'm hoping for a big turn of luck.

demeur - it's been almost 10 years since i had a drink but like i tell my friends: "i still have a few good runs left before i croak."

rocky - make up for it next year! i'm pretty sure you like irish coffee.

mr shife - yes, drinking is a young man's sport. luckily i took advantage of my youth in that regard.
