I was thinking about coming down for a Super Bowl party but are you guys all checking out from that early too? I'm not much into that Us vs Them shit that's happening but, aside from your Tennessee whiskey (Jack, that is), your booze has nothing on ours.
Just beers, tonight/day. 16/24, I think, depending on conditions. Truthfully, this is about the best buzz that I've ever achieved from beer alone. Interesting (maybe) story to tell.
I'd had 12/20 by the time the (my) games ended and decided that 30 hours of consciousness and beer hadn't made me "tired" or whatever the funk the term is for that need-to-sleep cycle. Hit a local "pub" for a few more.
Cool place. Run by an Iranian guy who used to serve in their military. I've talked to him a few times, and a little bit to their patrons (except for my appearances, they seem to be all of Iranian or Syrian descent). Interestingly...perhaps...the ones that I've spoken to don't seem to have any animosity towards Americans. Some minor criticisms about the American government but nothing untowards about Americans per se. Fact is, that tonight I went down there feeling rather pissed about tonight's action and, despite having downed more than the requisite number of drinks, I felt certainly coherent enough to defend myself if somebody wanted to funk with me. Place was very busy...would have been like 20-1, I'd say, if I was, say, 16-20 years younger and in that kind of flambouyant mood
. I certainly wasn't but was quite surprised at how coherent I seemed to be despite the """abuse""" (of, excuse me while I take another swig....). Middle aged and younger types are there drinking and playing whatever the hell card game they play there (some kind of trump game, best I can figure, but haven't watched enough to know what it is). No trouble at all. Felt totally at ease and at peace. Wasn't looking for a fight but was ready to get my ass kicked if it came to that. Very decent people.
I only suggested that it "might" be interesting, and I am fairly intonxicrated so if seemingly boorish then must to be forgiven. Thought it was interesting considering the goofy Us vs Them shiite that was happening in another thread that I thought better of wasting my time with. Nevermind that...drank three there, in about an hour, and felt totally at ease. Been going there for years and felt fine with the previous Iranian owners and feel fine with the new Iranian owners. shit....hope whatever point I'm trying to make has been taken and will leave it at that.
Think I'm on #16/24, depending on if breakfast resets me or not. Killler buzz. Perhaps the best buzz I've ever gotten off of beer alone. (((Almost))) helps me forget about Kerry Wood, the fly-out double play in Houston and whatever else I truly have forgotten.
Y'all either have lives or have passed out.
I think I'll have 2 or 3 more, myself.
Chit I want some pus...nevermind
