"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza."
-Dave Barry

"Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink."
-Lady Astor to Winston Churchill
"Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it."
-His reply

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.'"
-Deep Thought, Jack Handy

"You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on."
-Dean Martin :-)

Maybe that's what I'm thinking of, Spinada, not Sangria.
Remember the leather wine pouches everybody had. What were those called? I bet Neil still has one. Yes, no? Those usually had a little more than wine in them too. Just one good squeeze.

Bota bags, Old_guy. More like pissing than drinking. Great for smuggling wine into concerts.

Speaking of wine, who came to Vic and my wedding party at the house (aside from the band, I mean)? We had gallon bottles of wine from Greektown on the picnic table in the "dining room" and a big wheel of cheese and several loaves of that awesome Greek bread. Larry Brown had to try to squeeze all of it into his tiny Beetle -- the proprietor of Athens Grocery thought he was crazy. During the party a couple of those bottles ended up with an assortment of pharmaceuticals floating in them. People were dropping pills in there like coins in a fountain. Record Mike took a few swigs and became virtually comotose for like 3 hours.

Am I the only one who remembers "The Dunes" up in Caseville ? Everybody had White Mesc, so nothing was selling. 80 hits went into a bottle of wine at a campfire, and one guy drank the dregs at the bottom of the bottle. He "consorted with nature" for three days, out in the dunes, buck ass naked. (He made Quest for Fire look good).


(I think he is now the CEO of Bank of America). *(Satire)*.

MONKEY MAN
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true

I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?

But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?

Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through

Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?

Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues

Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman
Monkey woman too, babe!

I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
I'm a monkey man! I'm a monkey man!
I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
Monkey! monkey! monkey!.......
