That's what you get for hanging with bikers, the wimps. The real men down
here don't have to wear leather and H-D logos to convince themselves
they're
manly men.

Yeah... I guess all that practice at drinking has killed their abilities.

G I've been known to drink slivovitz and aquavit, and you're worried
about my palate . . . Yes, my attitude it poor on the subject, but I've
just never found high-proof liquors to be worth much beyond a quick and
sustaining drunk.

Good Grief... Lamb's is a sipping Rum... meant for taste. The drunk part is
entirely dependent on your particular tolerence level.

Do Belgian livers come pre-pickled?

They come built to handle alcohol intake..... for extended duration.

The only place I've known old timers with such tolerance is in Italy. How
does five bottles of amarone sound at one sitting. (wish the old *******
had shared some with the rest of us . . .)

You should meet a few of the fishermen from Lunenburg.... that's where
Angus Walters is from... the Captain of the Schooner 'Bluenose'. You know...
the one that beat the Americans

They generally bite *after* drinking, but one never knows when those teeth
might appear.

Damned.... here we been training ours to suck after drinking.

Yeah, they are such a convenient target, aren't they? Hey, you've got a
bunch o' em up there in the eastern sector, doncha?

Yeah... but even they hate the French from France!

Overproof, M.D.? Nah. You must have missed that chapter on Merkun
tolerance to alcohol. Page 431, paragraph 4, line 23-31: " . . . the
myth
regarding cultures outside the USA that possess unusual ethanol tolerance.
McGrady, et. al., discovered in their epidemiological study of North
American cultures vs. ethanol tolerance an inverse correlation between
latitude and the ability to withstand the deliterious effects of copious
ethanol imbibition. Subjects from lower latitudes demonstrated a greater
propensity for remaining conscious following 10 standard (2oz. 50%
ethanol)
drinks than those from higher latitudes. The conclusion that equatorial
proximity equates to greater tolerance and polar proximity equates to less
tolerance appears to be substantiated by McGrady and . . ."

That is erroneous.... the thicker blood of the northern dwellers radically
increases their tolerance to alcohol. The thinner blood of the southerners
is subject to extreme dilution.... and subsequent loss of consciousness.

Have you considered becoming a yoga instructor?

Not really..... but I'd be really good at it considering the positions I
can get myself into when pleasing a young lady

Around here we call her "Katy bar the door." Or is it "Bar the door, it's
Katy?"

I'm bettin' on the latter...

Is that so wrong?

It's neither right nor wrong.... it's a logical assumption based on
available data.

"Manly" ain't got nuttin' to do wid dat. Oh dear, but I've been possessed
of a most unpleasant mental image that simply won't abate.

The girls think it's sexy....

We don't have any o' that stuff down here. Well, okay, we got some of it
today, but it won't stay long.

Plus 8c here today... rain.... no snow or ice yet.

Aha, now I know why you want the ice--so the embers won't burn your feet
when you stagger backward. Gotcha.

No No.... I'll wear skates and drink.... while circling you until you get
dizzy and fall down.
