Spam, drinking, paper, web, more drinking
28 September 2004. Inspired by .
Due to an over-zealous spambot, much of this morning was spent deleting and reporting to the clearing house. Still, said spambot had filched a few entertaining quotes on alcohol during its snatch-grab which I'm pleased to share. The second is particularly good:
Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. Ernest Hemingway (1899 - 1961)
I always keep a supply of stimulant handy in case I see a snake--which I also keep handy. W. C. Fields (1880 - 1946)
Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water. W. C. Fields (1880 - 1946)
The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass. Martin Mull (1943 - )
My Grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle. Henny Youngman (1906 - 1998)
Elsewhere, obviously it would be distasteful to find a holy punch-up amusing.
But more disturbing still is the news that local readers of this blog will find, on page 45 of El Periódico, a colour version of this article, featuring two slightly dodgy-looking blokes and a guidebook.
Aforementioned guidebook may even have a shiny new all-singing, all-dancing, buy your-copies-right-now-please website over here. Go, buy, share, enjoy. Autographed copies half-price.
(Locally based readers may also find news of a launch party this Friday somewhat alleviates the pain. Email me for details)
Oh and there was a new doorbell posted yesterday. Forgot to say, but you've probably got the hang of it by now.
