Lock up your tipple! The Raincoaster is on the loose!
What are you complaining about, Archie? Your cellar is in no danger. Whereas at the Metro house (or “station” as Antipodean ranchers might call it), we have twice had to weather the depradations of a Raincoaster about the place.
It’s sort of like a swarm of locusts, only less pleasant and cultured.
Cynicism and booze takes you strange places…Suppose it’s no wonder he ended up exposing himself in public and living under a bathtub.
Locusts indeed! What was I supposed to do, drink the CHEAP beer?
Exposing himself in public and living under a bathtub? That’s MY KIND OF GUY!!!
Strangely, I got taken out for drinks last night. I had one glass of cheap shiraz (yes, The Sister, it was Yellow Tail) and one Negroni and I got absolutely wasted on them. I have no tolerance at all now that I’m living so goddam clean.
Gee, honey, I been doing that for years!
Why does Diogenes bio remind me of a certain blogger?
Just sayin’.
Never mind the bath-tub
What about the understandably-apprehensive squirrels anxious to keep out of range when the afore-mentioned tub is occupied by :
(1) a formerly full but now empty beer-bottle
and
(2) an air-rifle laden individual flustrated in his quest for reinforcements of East-Midlands brewed Coors beer
We ALL do our best to avoid those types. No good can come of those addicted to American beer.
“No good can come of those addicted to American beer.”
No doubt.
Canadian beer, on the other hand…and I do like to have one in each hand. That’s what I call a balanced diet!
