...because he drinks. Except, we proudly claim alcoholism, while he claims to have quit in the 80's. Anyway, here he is trashed in '92. Right click, save as.
I should probably credit TheSmokingGun - I didn't find it there, but the tape is labeled as such.
I like how he calls people "boring" for, primarily, not smoking or drinking. Still, this tape could have been in a roast-like context, but regardless. He's lit, and even finished his drink at the end of the clip. So I guess he was as sober in the 90's as he was a soldier in the '60s. Vote Kucinich (how the hell do you spell that?)
Not that I make it a point to listen to him, but apparently Howard Stern has been suspended for being, well, Howard Stern. Any thoughts?
Hey TerrapinTables.com, thanks for the vine.
I just arrived back from my voyage to Canada. After our original flight to Montreal being delayed 2 1/2 hours, we ended up in Toronto. Oh yeah, the flight was at 6 am, at Reagan National. Spend another 4 hours in Toronto before you fly to Quebec - on one of those little planes where you sit next to a guy as equally fat as you, and he says "Eh" every third word. Yell and scream about sneezeguards and work tables for 6 hours, in English and lots of French. Eat a meal at 9 pm, check into your hotel at 11 pm, and then get up for your ride to the airport -- which picks you up at 4:30 am. Got back fine, on Continental, but please, I plead with you, never fly Air Canada if you can help it. It stinks. And it was about 0 degrees too, and windy. Yay!
Enough of my complaining, none of you want to hear it. Amazingly I get to go home now from work (if you don't understand that, just realize you should be shocked!). If anything can turn my tremendous week around, it would be getting obliterated tonight, and watching Mike Jones and MD drop a 20 point victory on Clemson. One of these will happen, hopefully two.
Rack me.
If the Wizards are involved, and Chevy Chase is involved, you know shit's not going to go the way you want it to. Like proposing during halftime. I'm glad she said no... now she's available for me my friends. (direct video link).
First California and Florida, now Ireland. No doubt this will face both resistance and legislation from businesses and individual patrons alike, not to mention loopholes such as those based on the ratio of food to alchohol sales, but apparently the government is pretty keyed up. Apparently recent research suggests that the citizens of Ireland support this (though the article doesn't cite anything). Anecdotal evidence (sorry, couldn't find anyting concrete before i gave up trying) suggests that while some places in California and Florida have lost business, bar patronage is actually up, on account of people no longer being deterred by smoke. Your thoughts?
Since nobody else has posted anything today, here's a headline. The Army has decided to cancel the Comanche program, their next generation armed scout helicopter that had been in development for nearly 20 years and was just about to go into production. The Army will have to pay Sikorsky & Boeing $2 billion in cancellation fees, and the termination will leave many unemployed.
So from what I have gathered today, there seems to be a somewhat drastic change in what is allowable on the radio. Apparently Inifinity broadcasting is cracking down on any language that may be construed as offensive. Infinity owns, among others, WHFS and WJFK. This morning on HFS, there was supposed to be a live contest that ended up having to be taped prior to the show due to potenitally sensitive subject matter. The Don & Mike show airs out of WJFK in Virginia, which admittedly is a typically sophmoric show. In response to these new mandates, they have decided to play music for their show today as opposed to conducting a show which they claim might get them fired. According to Don & Mike, not only can you not use potentially offensive language, but letters that might imply something offensive. For example, "s* my d*" would be a violation. I dunno, interests me in that whatever orders have came down are being adhered to quite strictly already. I can't imagine it is all flap coming from things like Janet Jackson's sweater puppet, but what do I know.
..chant with me now. Seven combined from Gilchrist and Jamar, 15% from 3, and only 60% from the line. The ACC woulda had 7 teams in...
And, we have Duke, Clemson, Wake, and NC St. still lined up to whoop our ass. At least we should win when Virginia slides up to Comcast.
N-I-T...N-I-T...
Beat my 11 out of 15. Go on. Beat it. I dare ya. Stolen from Fark again.
Yeah, me again. Anyway, like I said, stay the hell outta New Mexico beginning in '08...as we probably will have to walk everywhere. Jeebus, I mean, seriously...we'd all be in such great shape, though...imagine all the times I would have had to hike it from the Fe.
Apparently, ingesting too much alcohol can lead to illness and irrational behavior. Huh.
Anyway, maybe the vaporizer is a bad idea - it would undoubtedly lead to this. (I gotta say, though, I like the idea of going on a three-day vacation to a "whiskey circle")
And I should mention, I guess, following Rick's precedences, that I saw this on Fark.
I can't believe that this is actually necessary.
Does this mean that Pres. Bush was listening to B.O.B?

I'd like to divert everyone's attention from the serious thread below by switching gears back toward TTables' true spirit - drunken idiocy.
Seems like us Scots (even though I'm less Scottish than Mike is Irish) found a better way to get down a drink. Faster. Stronger. Deadlier. Kilt Power, activate.
By the way, I'm mostly Dutch. If there were any such thing as "hash pong" or "power hour of heroin" I'd be sharing that. But there isn't. So, drink. Also, speaking of Dutchness and drinking, I have a new favorite beer.
OK...so I might be working on my third 40 oz. of the afternoon (trying to clean out the fridge). And I might be a little biased, but I thought the second half of this game was pretty good. We shot decent (20-30) from the foul line, terrible from the field (30-78) and the 3 point line (6-21). But how bout the fouls? 31 and 24 per team. That seems a bit much. Perhaps it is the running up and down the floor mentality, but wow, swallow the whistle. Anyway, despite the loss, how important is the next game, Thursday vs/ Georgia Tech???? We are 4-6 in the conference, currently 7th. I can't forsee a bigger game for our tournament hopes than this game coming up. Ok...that is my 2 cents. This is what you get when you leave Pat all alone with no date on a Valentine's weekend, and 40's clogging up the fridge.
So, we had a little fun at the expense of BHM Friday, but we didn't mean it - like too many mean it - when they say there's no place for BHM.
That argument, however, has been given more ammunition thanks to WB54. How? By honoring Lonnie P. Johnson. And what'd he do? He invented the Super Soaker. He invented a water gun. That's not history, and by highlighting crap like that, it gives the appearance that there is little Black history of value.
Jesus Christ, the inventor of the Super Soaker.
So if you can see this, TT.com is up for you. Something got hosed, and my renewal payment for this domain didn't go through. But it seems to have been fixed for now. It may take an addiontal 24 hours before everyone else's ISPs update, and for all the code behind this site to work properly.
Spend it...AdultSwim has a bunch of Family Guy storyboard drawings up for sale...starting at a perfectly reasonable (ha!) $100 for a scribble on tissue paper. So, off you go.
Since Chad can't tell his own story, he has commissioned me to write it (i get two beers plus expenses). Apparently this weekend, he had a little...uh, stomach issue. Ex-Lax didn't sooth the problem, Pepto -- nothing. After going to the doctor on Monday and subjecting himself to a series of exams, he found out he needed to have his appendix taken out. A couple of cuts and it came out. Relief, right? Nope. Now he has to drink a bottle of this. If you don't know what this does, read this and then consider the possibilities. Anyway, since he might end up in the bathroom for hours upon end, we decided to make his experience a little nicer. The bathroom Rick and I share is larger, so we pimped it out with Fun and Games. And of course, I tested it all for him (minus the toilet part). Godspeed Mr. Fisher, make Najeh Davenport proud.
I heard Chad was ill, maybe it's because he saw the cover of newsweek. I think I speak for all of "my people" when I say that I think Shaggy said it best: "It wasn't me."
For anybody who is curious about (or slightly disturbed by) the new Quizno's commercials... they can now be directly connected to the 'Karma Chameleon' kitties on VH1.

In addition... www.rathergood.com has a lovely assortment of kitties, pandas w/ biscuits, and hedgehogs. Some are rather naughty, so if you are at work you may want to turn your volume down.
Look kids, I'm eating lunch at my desk (as usual) but I'm not doing work! Miracles do happen.
Quote of the article: ""What he [Bush] said at that time, that if judges continue to force their arbitrary will upon the people, that the only alternative to the people would be a constitutional process. And that remains his view." This statement is made in support of banning gay marriage. I am furthered saddened by the fact that the time for making this some kind of Rick-Fatboy joke has long since passed. However, I encourage everyone to try. If only I had scanned that candlelight dinner photo. That may have to make an appearance at the wedding in some form.
This is what the world needs: a Guns n' Roses kids tribute band. These kids rule. If you have 5 minutes, check out the audition video.
Now here is a vehicle that one could really learn to love. I like the description of the brand new battery and what it's good for. Rick, you really should have considered this cost-saving alternative before spending all that money on the Jetta.
Britain has downgraded marijuana from a class B drug to a class C drug (class A includes heroin and morphine, class B includes amphetamines and barbiturates, and class C includes tranquilizers & steroids, among others). It's still illegal, but the penalties are a lot less, and they don't expect the police to make as many marijuana-related arrests, anymore.
Billick has hired one of his best friends as, apparently, an adviser/assistant coach. Didn't we (they) just lose the secondary coach? Does Fassel know a damn thing about DBs?
I never really liked Fassel - he seems to never really get things done (okay, so he went to a Super Bowl once) and only talks/acts tough when his ass is on the line. Regardless, I see the Ravens in the playoffs again next year...while certain teams that will remain unnamed (*cough* Steelers *cough* Dolphins) continue their proud traditions of sitting on their asses once week 18 rolls around. Eat it. Division Champs.
Many thanks to those who attended the party and made it as much fun as it was. However, we still have close to half a keg left, so this is a call for all those who don't have plans tonight to come help us kill the keg. i expect to help us in our time of need.
Big thanks to Roy, John and Mike for their hospitality during yesterday's Super Bowl. The game was one of the best (how does he kick that ball out of bounds!), food was good, and it was nice to see everyone. Thinking back about the commercials from last night, I guess I wasn't terribly impressed. No monkeys on trash cans with old men clapping or anything. Here is a site that has all of them. Any of them that particularly stuck out like Janet Jackson's boob? And a quick comment from Stewart Mandel at S.I. - "That in the world of advertising dollars, male dysfunction suddenly has eclipsed collect calls, and it's sneaking up on overnight delivery."
On another note, for those of us who have watched many superbowls for the game itself, what about the thought that this might have been the best superbowl ever? Discuss amongst yourselves...
