Slainte! A New Day is Upon Us:
Thought for the Day:
Bacchus hath drowned more men than Neptune.
Dr. Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732
British physician (1654 - 1734)
On Last Night:
Upon my return to the manor house I supped alone (Mango chicken with curry-rice), since the Sweet and Ever Popular Mrs. John Q. Public was spending the evening with her dear friend and sometimes mentor Mr. Ted Nugent (the real Detroit Rocker, and all around asshole, if you have ever meet him) It was a Happy Nug-Year concert to benefit stem-cell research, domestic partnership laws and Greenpeace. I skipped the event, instead I stayed in and read and watched Law and Order reruns and BBC, I love the Trailer Park Boys.
On What I am Reading:
Let’s see, the Gospel of St. Luke, three books on Hitler (hey, I want to know what to expect) and a how-to-manual on canning fish.
On What I am Listening to:
Right now Solomon Burke’s Greatest Hits, Bread, MC 500 Foot Jesus and the collected works of Mr. Johnny Paycheck.
Plans for New Year’s Eve:
A small party with about 3,000 guests and South Florida’s Number One Cover Band (what a treat, yes, its one of the Lovely and Erotic Mrs. JQPs events). I am ranking the prospects for the evening up there with my last NASCAR race, the time I thought bathing our two Great Danes in the hot-tub was a good idea, and the night I threw up on my Prom date, it a nutshell not very promising.
However, I am planning on hooking up with Major and Mrs. Steve, who just got back in-country, my dear wife is afraid that I will allow myself to get talked into going back into boots. Me an officer and a gentlman, LOL... I look fat in tan...

In memory of “Thumper” who showed me how to make this drink at Scotty’s Beach Bar the summer of ’02. Sadly “Thumper” hung himself on his front yard from a Palmetto tree (which in and of itself, was no small accomplishment, being that the tree was only 5 feet tall and he was 6'2) after his wife “Pretty-Girl with the Socks” left him for a midget who worked on the board walk. (True Story). Bottoms up to you “Thumper”!

Made famous by the Sweet and Kind Mrs. John Q. Public’s last tour of mid-south National Guard Armories and Country Fair Grounds, with the Boy-Band she tirelessly promotes. She is often quoted as saying “It’s the only drink that goes well with Clogging”, however she recommends wearing good underwear.
Any New Years Resolutions?
Hell no, that’s for the Prots, I am Catholic, we have Lent.
Your Irish Toast of the Day:
Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer—and another one!
and on a side note, I found this statment and thought it somehow fit...
This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.
Sigmund Freud (about the Irish)
Props to my Peeps:
So long Gerry-Lenny, you were a hell of a song and dance man.
Bad Shit:
Sad fucking shit about what hit the folks in Asia, I don’t feel like commenting on it because its been blogged to death already and I have let my thoughts be known in everyone’s comment sections.

From the: “If you needed another reason to hate Wal-Mart file”
Two store employees charged after cat killed
A manager told them to get rid of the animal.
From The Associated Press
EVANSVILLE — Police arrested two Wal-Mart employees on felony animal cruelty charges after they shot and killed a cat that lived in a storage trailer behind the store.
The men, both assistant managers at the Supercenter, told police they killed the cat after the store’s manager told them to get rid of the animal. Christopher Scott Anderson, 29, and Jeffrey Alex Hardin, 21, were released on their own recognizance after a court appearance Wednesday. They were scheduled for a hearing Tuesday in Vanderburgh Superior Court. A Wal-Mart spokeswoman said all the managers potentially involved in the incident have been suspended without pay pending an internal investigation. Depending on its results, they could be fired, said spokeswoman Sharon Weber.
“We were outraged when we learned of this incident. This kind of action is completely inconsistent with the way we do business. Outrage is probably putting it mildly,” she said. A truck driver reported the incident to the sheriff’s department after he saw store employees placing what he believed to be a dead animal in shrink wrap, a day after he heard workers joking about shooting the cat. Anderson and Hardin repeatedly shot the cat with a pellet gun from the store until it died the next day, a Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Department report said. Store manager Darrel Weitzel told police he had told some of his employees to get a gun and get rid of the cat after repeated attempts to coax it from the trailer failed, according to the report.
Headline of the Day:
Greeting '05 with gunfire discouraged
As New Year's Eve approached, county leaders and activists -- concerned about stray bullets -- urged residents to omit gunfire from their holiday revelry.
(ok, now who didn’t get the “what goes up must come down part”?)
Your Bill for the Day:

Quote of the Day:
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
