I mean, enough of us are on the wagon now, aren't we?

So where were we?
Death.
NJ.
etc.

Death and NJ are pretty much one topic. To live in New Jersey is to wish for death.

Aren't we cheerful this morning?

we get anybody else on the wagon and a fucking tire will fall off.

One of us could get off the wagon to fix the tire?

(Two days and I'm already looking for excuses! )

I'm pretty much on the wagon six of every seven days.
I'll be on tire duty.
Well, except for Fridays.
And the occasional Saturday.
But Sundays through Thursdays are good.
Unless I'm hungover, like on a Sunday.
Ok, Monday through Thursday, I can pull tire duty.

My wagon looks more like a bigwheel. I'm on the one drink a night diet, though I had zero last night and didn't sleep so well.

I’m on the wagon most of the week as well.

Drinking nights are Friday and Saturday.

Until a few weeks ago, no drinking during the week, then my Doctor prescribed one glass of red wine a night to help raise good cholesterol.

Did I mention I like my Doc?


On the weekends though, its a smorgasbord of drinkage.

I'm off the wagon, but too drunk to fix
any fuckin' tires.

Actually, I'm way off the wagon.
Drank before work yesterday.
Drank this morning @ 7:30 to go back
to sleep.
Thinkin' Eye Opener, right about the
fuck now as well.
It's rough being back.

too bad the penguin's not here.

i'd have him say "danger will robinson"

it's funnier when he does it.

I don't drink a whole lot... I will walk next to the wagon and help you all out.

You ever wonder why that expression started? You think you would but the drunks on the wagon and let the sober people walk.

It's stranger than it seems.

Also:
I know of two other theories, both dating back to the 1500s in England..
Some say that, in England, prisoners on their way to execution in the square were allowed to stop at the pub for one drink, while the guard stayed “on the wagon”. Most folks think that this is a little far-fetched.
The other is simpler and more straightforward. Cops would roam around late at night to collect the drunks and take them to shelters, thereby putting them “on the wagon”.

yeah, i always thought of the "paddy wagon"...as in, arrested and no longer to drink.

lovely how the stereotype of "paddy" is never mentioned.

I pick the worst morning of the week and don't drink that day. This morning was so-so and under the circumstances I'm through eight guinness and trying desperately to empty the house of some evil commercial. Something's working but I can't tell what anymore, gotta be careful of the oil lamps... I think I hit my head last night.

Wagon? I see no wagon.

DG

We don't need no stinking wagons!

My wife says I've lost my wagon.

Better get a tent.

I've been known to pitch one.

That is a junior sized pup tent.

C'mere, Junior.

Ruh-roh, Shaggy!

There are a xit load of Bumps
with staying on the wagon.

It's not worth it. Well, usually.

Wagons suck, just control yerself for christsakes, " I need a program/help to drink less" Fuck off, you need self control.
On that note, I've had Fou (3), Et, ADN, and home brew, I'm drunk, and I don't feel guilty about it. Pussys.

Find your inner HG-Spot.

HGggggg............

HGggggg............

The cooking sherry.

Felix and a sleeping pill.
2nd night of decent sleep in a wk. and a
1/2.
HG makes life all betterer.

Fuck you Grey Boy!

How about a little compassion for folks with bigger problems than you. Sometimes the best people can do is to swear off forever. They need our help and encouragement, not a bunch of xit. Grow the fuck up!

Hey, how about a little compassion for those who don't have any compassion? I say fuck you all!

DG

Staying on the wagon is an exercise in control.

Not quite sure where GB is coming from. Having quit most of the substances out there to quit, I can see both sides of it. Some things I swore off because even doing them occasionally was a bad thing.

Some things, like drinking, are ok in moderation (even occasional binging).

I never did buy into the whole, if you are an alcoholic you have to stop cold, because you can never control yourself. It may be true for some, but certainly not for all.

From a drunken haze.



Yup, the way I sounded, that is well deserved.
(Hugs) to all on the wagon,
It's your kinda fun, I won't join.

it's NOT fun.

fuck you anyway.

Well, Grey Boy PMed me with an unneeded apology.

Here was my response (edited for continuity and poor spelling) so you all know how i feel about it:



Don't be sorry.

we're ALL assholes here and make asshole comments. if i had to apologize for every drunken and/or stupid and/or hurtful statement i made, i wouldn't even have time to fuck your mother anymore.

besides, you are correct. i DON'T have any control. that IS my problem


seriously, you didn't piss me off. please don't hold back. that's no fun. insulting and stupid posts are what makes this place different from any other. any other place would have kicked us out ages ago.

Slainte- CG (Dannyboy)


yes i have a problem. a lot of us have a lot of problems. i am not feeling sorry for myself and don't expect you to treat me any differently. i don't have cancer for chrissakes. even if i did, i would hope you would inforn me that the chemo would make me even lazier since i didn't have to actually shave my head anymore.

fuck you all.

Rawrrrrr!!!



(I'm on the wagon )

Hope your back off in time for DCLF.

Ummmm....yeah.
I think we're all pretty safe there.
I'm just tryin' to make it to tomorrow.

use the force, Lammy!

It's The Force what makes me drink.
I'm using The Anti-force!

I've found the Schwarz is more effective than the Force.

...

reminds me of this story.

old news, but still really fucking funny.

It's been beer tonight but I'm on my last, the only drink left in the house is the bit of HG reserved for SELF and a fifth of sapphire. I'm out of tonic but I have a good store of vermouth, three guesses what's going to make me fall down tonight.

Pear nectar?

An empty beer bottle on the floor?

DG

An empty beer bottle to the head?

I was referring to "trippin' and typin' "...

DG

Isn't this the Flippin' & Fightin' thread?
OOPS...wrong forum.

Only one beer so far tonight. I've been busy in the shop inventing the..

"REDNECK ABSINTHE FOUNTAIN".

Photos tomarrow night during the initial testing.

Sweetheart, if the pear hits the vermouth it will be a revelation. Right now I'm adding the the olive, shoulda though.
