Careful Shorts. He uses a Husky so his chainsaw actually runs.

Ok, so I have had a couple of glasses of melancholy tonite. So Mebbe cut me a little slack. I think we all agree that drinking and driving is a really bad idea. What I wonder though, is, how many of us that get really righteous can honestly say, when we were younger, we didn't drive after a few or many ounces too many. That doesn't mean that I say we should condone drinking and doing dangerous things, but before we preach too loud, take a look in the mirror.
I make smart choices now but a decade ago, I might have made some bad choices and got lucky and got a fair outcome. Not good but I don't feel I can preach now. Coach about good choices - absolutely, preach - not so much.

Thanks Chaikwa. It is hard to be smart when you are 6' 7" tall because you hit your head a lot and your heart has to work really hard to get your brain a good blood supply.

Sorry to say so Shorts, but I´m not sure that´s how it works, ONLY because that would make my sister really smart too

But I´ll give you the benefit of the doubt anytime, but count my sis out of that smart thing.

Make sure the keg empty. No need to waste good beer.

When I was a youngster and driving, DWI was not a big deal. I mean, it was still bad crap, but the amount of preaching we do about it, and the campaigns that go on to stop it...

I'm not trying to get righteous, just talking.

Promised myself a long time ago to not get wasted any longer.


I'm not known to have the "best luck" . If I wound up trashed like that, not remembering where I was, with my crappy luck, I'd wind up in some basement chained up on a wall, standing next to bruce willis, hoping it was all a dream.


Nope... not getting that trashed again... unless I'm home with the wife.... then I can pass out in comfort. Lord knows, after 25 years of being together, I have nothing to worry about being taken advantage of....
