A random social media poster:


Also, he’s just given himself a new nickname: Honest Don.

I need a drink and it’s only 9am.

1. Right there with you.

I've been needing a drink for the last three months. I'm thinking one more month dry for weight loss, and then I'm going to celebrate with some Lagavulin, neat.

4. May we join you?

🍸😎🍸

[Aristus]

5. I would love that.

Every time my brain tells me "I need a drink!", I think I'm an alcoholic. Each day I go without a drink reassures me that I'm not.

I feel like I'm making progress in the weight-loss front.

It shouldn't be too much longer before I can revive Friday Night Buzz threads.

Looking forward to seeing you there, Madame...

10. We are all looking forward to that!

11. Awww...

8. I'm basically at the glue-sniffing point right now.

9. Ha!

13. I've always loved the smell

of old school magic markers but my drug of choice is still Pinot noir. 🍷

[Aristus]

16. I remember those! I loved their smell, too.

My favorite aroma was strawberry. I remember taking the markers and coloring in the styrofoam compartment of each marker in the appropriate color. I remember thinking that was very important, so you knew where each one went.

17. Mine was licorice!

I wonder if they even make those anymore? Probably not.

2. It's beer-thirty somewhere in the world... nt

3. So much this...

Remember when W and Darth Cheney were the worst President ever? Good times.

6. Love the sentiment. Now learn about commas and semicolons.

12. Acttually, I think it more effective as a run-on sentence. Think a George

Carlin delivery. Proper punctuation would, I think, lessen the effect. And I am talking as an editor who would usually be screaming by now!

14. I agree 100%.

15. Wow.

You really put it together.

A lot of adjectives bubble up: pathetic, disgusting, aggravating, sad, frustrating, sick, horrifying, conniving... I'll stop here.
