Our tech guys are apparently “sick,” (which really means they’re either smoking marijuana at home or smoking marijuana on vacation) so Tim offered me “one-hundred large,” by which I assume he means either one hundred pennies or one hundred of God-knows-what from one of his drug dealers, to “stay around for the week and make sure the internet tubes don’t overheat.” And since he’s still garnishing my wages for a clerical error, I figured I could use either to get through the winter.

  1. Impromptu Slog Happy tonight?

    C’mon, you know you want to. Get together some iPods, bad DVDs (I have Street Fighter: The Movie) and we can get Fnarf and Will drunk on Rize and have them bareknuckle box out front.

  2. we had stacks of rize at a bar i used to work at. we literally could not give it away. people would rather pay for shitty beer than drink that shit. and the smell… *shudder*

  3. Sorry, my bacony feline friend, I’ll be chuggling scary booze and bare-knuckling elsewhere tonight. Yes, believe it or not, I have friends (well, Mrs. Fnarf has friends).

  4. I really don’t know why you bitch so much grant. Clearly, the crunch bars are still with you as well as a nutri grain bar so you have sustenance. also, Kelli’s coffee pot looks more like a laxative factory than a coffee pot so boom! Colon health improved! and then you have the rise which theoretically would save you from needing a white, coke fueled christmas. bitch bitch bitch!!!!
