Coming Soon

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to buy another case of bourbon…

Boy, you just add a “Thank you and God Bless America” to that and you may have written the end of his speech.

I myself am looking forward to this SOTU. He may actually get booed, and you know how flustered he gets when things don’t go his way. He’s gonna need that bourbon.

Hope the instructions tell us how to put in an IV drip.

I just know it. It’s going to be a long, long night, and then I’ll have to face Wednesday morning.

Murray, I don’t even want to guess about why you know that.

You guys are all English Majors, this is what you learn in the sciences.

That 403 error message is getting old.

Can the drinking game be played with blood pressure medication? Although I don’t actually have any on me, I think I might be needing some if I watch that guy speak any more.

David,

You swiped the ethanol from the labs and *drank* it? Aren’t there certain impurities/byproducts in lab solvent quality ethanol that make it even more dangerous to drink than buying rotgut? Like higher quantities of methanol and propanol and other fun alcohols or something? I thought that if the 95% pure ethanol doesn’t kill your liver, then the last 5% of methanol will. I mean, there’s a reason why anyone who wants to bottle it as drinkable has to undergo additional FDA regulations that the solvent doesn’t. Right?

David would respond, but he just passed out.

This State of the Union thing is just a plot to sell more televisions. Cause a few thousand, or tens or hundreds of thousands, are probably gonna get broken tonight.

OT - Richard Clark is busy making the rounds, hawking his book (a novel about cyber sabotage five years in the future). The book seems interesting enough, but both Keith Obermann and Diane Rehm have been able to tease out his opinions on many areas of Intelligence, since he spent 30 years in the government working in that arena. He said today on Diane’s show that George Bush does not have the guts to admit the mistakes he made getting us into Iraq and will keep flogging the war effort, to Hell with whatever costs may be involved, until the end of his presidency. You think W will be using the insanity plea to explain his behavior during his time in office?

Tess- Not to change the subject, but what is a bunnird?

SpottedDog,

Somehow my hand got shifted: “bunnies”. Seems she’s going into liver failure. Which is ironic seeing that’s what most of us are proposing to do to drown out the pain of the POTUS’s speech.

Vodka would be an act of defiance! As would be sharing my essence with those women who seek it. (Dammit, it’s been years since I’ve seen the movie, I’m a little rusty on those monologues.)

Tess, the alcohol we used in the bio lab was 100% pure. It was special lab grade with no impurities. It needed a federal license and special locked room to store it in.

Denatured alcohol which you can get at a hardware store is about 5% methanol which will kill or blind you. It also smells like methanol so it is hard to mistake.

Now if you want to get drunk on alcohol you can get at a grocery store try this combination.
Listerine - 43 proof
Cooking wine - 30 proof
Vanilla extract (the real stuff) 72 proof

You have to be pretty desperate to down Listerine. Cooking wine has salt added, and considering how I have a hard time with sweet wine, salt is kind of a deal breaker. Vanilla extract is hard to take in large dosages and besides at $30-40 a pint you could just as well buy very fine Champagne.

Bottoms up!

Dale,

Thanks. She passed out and away yesterday before having the misfortune of hearing any part of our Dear Leader’s speech of brainlessness. I’m going to miss my mean little bun — she was able to find the dried cranberries in crumpled up paper by just selectively chewing the folds. Bush would probably keep batting at the paper trying to find the cranberry.
