Your Bill for the Day:

SONNET 1
From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light'st flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content
And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding.
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee

Your Drinking game for the Weekend:
Circle of Death
Type: Card Game
Players: 3 to Unlimited
Items Needed: Deck of Cards
Directions:
Put deck of cards face down in a circle. One person starts by calling out a suit. The person next to him picks up one card. If the card matches the suit, that person has to gulp the value of the card. All numbers are face, Jacks=11, Queens=12, Kings=13, Ace=1.

Don't count your own gulps. Going one person at a time, the person to your left, starts with 1 and it continues around the circle until the number has been reached. The people in the circle can count as fast or as slow as they want. If you put your drink down on the table before calling another suit, (you can call the same suit) you have to drink all over again.

Songs of the Day:
The Sonics- Have Love, Will Travel
Caesars- Jerk It Out

Your Greek God-Goddess/Myth for the Week:
Philemon ( and Baucis )
He was a kind, pious elderly man, husband of Baucis. Despite their poverty, they gave a warm welcome to Zeus and Hermes. Before they came upon the elderly people, they had been refused hospitality by wealthier and more dignified people. As punishment, the gods turned the entire region into a swamp, but they changed the cottage of their hosts into a temple.

The granted the elderly couple a wish, and Philemon and Baucis asked to serve the gods as guardians of the temple. When their life came to an end, they were turned into a oak and a lime tree. Ovid VIII, 611.

Your Toast for the Weekend:
Ooogy Wawa! Zulu for drink up you silly shit, before the lion eats us, or something like that.

Quote of the Day:
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Isaac Asimov US science fiction novelist & scholar (1920 - 1992)
