real men whatever happened to the days when men drank like they wanted it to kill them all I see now are these sows who say no no, one glass is enough I don’t know about you brother but when I want to celebrate or dwell I don’t need a drink I need a bottle and that’s just to prime my pump Id just assume assassinate my image, born from christ’s (as they're so eager to remind me) than uphold some frivolous code of righteous plasticity the lawmakers and Mary Kay adhesive artists are nowhere to be found after that closing time phone call when flares burn in your sockets and the bones in your hands ache from the unconscious process that’s the time when a bottle of sloth plays the role of shoulder and shipmate listening at whatever station you choose as your temptress of debasement In the morning there is silence with such stationary objects unlike the ones who take no time in firing verbal lightning into your splitting skull unlike our friend who is always happy to oblige the 8 AM urge unless it has nothing left to offer though it usually has a friend just down the road if you have the proper tools of procurement something to drown out her banality and uncouth barbiturates in the end, what will any of it matter we’re all worm meat at least a few of us will get our fill while the rest sip from glass straws and puree the calories [This message has been edited by Drexler_McStyles (05-12-2003 09:37 PM).] |

Drexler_McStyles - I really don't believe real men drink themselves into oblivion, or do they? BC [This message has been edited by Bill Charles (05-12-2003 09:39 PM).] |

This is hysterical! Thank you; I really needed a laugh (you see I ran out of Wild Turkey over the weekend and haven't had time to pick up another case). Thanks, again! |

I think I'm startin' to get your drift after reading several writes. Is it possible I can read through your lines? Maybe it's the wine... |

"a bottle of sloth" hadn't heard that'n before. Love the tone here. It's like you used a whisker quill and testosterone ink.  (chuckle...) OH. And btw...I do have a tendency to order Johnny Walker, Black, please, in a tall glass, with just a splash o water. "That'll be 12.50 please."  Real men are EMPLOYED, I say! |

yeah, we work, its gives us something else to hate and despise, more fuel for the fire... ..thats the problem drinking at a bar, you cant afford to have taste, unless you have a swollen billfold.. better to drink at home or carry a bottle around with you under your shadow Drexler |

..unless drink frees your artistic mind for your work, and then it is not something else to hate and despise, its fuel for the fire...not saying that's how we "should" do it...don't care for "shoulds", but... gift and greet from under your shadow without having to come completely into the light...many of us do this.... |

the author of this poem and i both know that a writer's propensity toward the bottle is stronger than the finest tequila... but this isn't neccessarily a bad thing... |

you cannot really blame me though. you mix your drinks strong enough to kill a small rodent. go back to being a "real man" with your $9.99 vodka special. |

It is especially comical reading this as I am finishing the last of a case of Capt. Morgan's Gold... Good write. I love the smell of napalm in the morning... |
