sobo Posted August 17, 2008 Author Posted August 17, 2008 Only one more day left, huh? Bummuh... I am now officially on vacation for the next four weeks. I have been drinking rum and shall continue to drink rum until August 17 at midnight. I intend to drink rum in three states and two provinces. I shall drink on the beaches, I shall drink on the landing grounds, I shall drink in the fields and in the streets, I shall drink in the hills; I shall never be sober, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving for rum or ice, then our liquor cabinet, beyond the seas, paid for by the government liquor store, would supply me , until, in God's good time, the vacation ends, and my hangover with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old liver.

TREETOAD Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Yeah, but I don't start till Tuesday and then the weekend after is labour day. So two four day weeks in a row to ease me in ain't too bad. I drank lots of gin and vodka and only a bit of rum as it was just too hot to drink rum. I only got to two states and one province, so I am a bit of an underachiever but I had fun. Quote
