MetaChat - I am now officially a man...

As it is my 30th birthday today, send gifts fuckers. On the minus side, I hurt my back yesterday. On the plus side this nice lady gave me strong drugs and I'm ok. On the minus side, soon the reaper. On the plus side I am finally old enough to drink.

Happy Birthday, Divine_Wino. Sorry to hear about your back. Don't fear the reaper (seasons don't, and neither do the sun and the rain).

I counsel ignoring the pain as much as possible. Save the Vikes for a rainy day.

Sunshine!

Happy Birthday.

Sorry to hear about your back. Maybe this Divine Wine cake will make you feel better.

Ooooh, thirty - that's a bad one. If it's any consolation I'm more nearly-dead than you are.

My Back is great. Big baby wino gotta great back. It was little drugs, just enough.

Happy birthday, D_W. Enjoy the painkillers.

There seems to be a lot of us a) with birthdays in september, and b) who have turned 30 in the last 6mo or so.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WINO!! Welcome to the big 3-0. Sorry to hear about your back but glad you have drugs to help you cope. Because it's all downhill from here, baby!

Happy birthday, D_W! 30 was one of my best years ever... here's hoping it will be for you, as well.

Hey, iconomy-- pour me a slice of that cake!

posted by Fuzzy Monster 28 September | 12:49

a) with birthdays in september

Not to gross you out but this was because your parents were fucking in the dead of winter. But you are a NZ'er so maybe there is another reason, gaspode of the antipode.

Down many barley pops on my behalf, BlessedSot!

You know I will you guinea of a mick you. I will save some of whatever demented moonshine I get as a present with you once you are well, as well.

by your I meant their of course, and by New Zealand I meant almost anywhere really. I'm totally sober, although I did have a donut. Who knows what the fuck I'ma come up with once I start in on the chartreuse.

posted by Divine_Wino 28 September | 12:57

Hey, all next week I'll be home, you're welcome to come hoover up some tunes and meet the Mrs., you know.

Chartreuse, evil stuff man, tastes like an air freshener. Should be mixed with Jagermeister to create some kind of WWI tribute cocktail.

posted by jonmc 28 September | 12:58

Jon have you been to the doctor yet today?

posted by iconomy 28 September | 13:00

My doctor is out of the office, I'm going in tommorrow. Prolly for the best since I had a bitch of an evening even without the stones. I ordered a burger when I got
home and it had a ton of shredded lettuce on it, and I hate lettuce
and picking it off was a bitch. Then the cable on one of our TV's went
out, and Pips hates talking on the phone so I had to call. Then at 3am
somebody's car alarm right outside our building started blaring. The
cops didn't come shut it off till 6am and it kept us awake since we
turned on the TV to drown it out. I'm a mite frazzled

D.W., you should totally make a MeFi fpp about this.

posted by selfnoise 28 September | 13:21

nah, wino it's cos they were fucking on New Years Eve.

Chartreuse is the most evil liquor known to man. Or me, anyways. Back in the day, my thesis advisor (6'4", 240lbish, former rugby player) challenged me to a chartreuse drinking contest. (after we had been at a formal conference dinner with lots of wine). I ended up in hospital. Stupidity.

but I did drink one more shot than him!

And that, in the end, is what matters. When I am choosing up sides for my planned drinking contest with Satan, you are invited.

Happy birthday, D_W! 30 is when the getting goes from good to grand-spankin-tastic.

I'll raise a glass of fernet in your honor tonight.

All the best, all the best. You deserve everything you've ever wanted. (Everyone does, that's why you have to be careful what you wish for.)

happy birthday many happy returns of the day salutations congratulations felicitations (which only I can say with meaning, ha) and all that, Mr. Wino! A fragment of a song for you or if you can't get that to open, here are the happy birthday lyrics!

actually if anyone with more technical music-fu can really find that song & yousendit or something, I'd be grateful. I like it & my cassette is long, long gone.

Am I a man?

Didn't you just answer that question, Specklet?

I love bein' a chick. I loves my boobies (which my friends and I refer to as "the glory that are Specklet's breasts", because they really are terribly attractive) and I loves my doodah. I like shoes and lipstick and guys who grab me and throw me on the bed like a little sexy ragdoll.

I love being your fan. Reading this stuff is so rewarding.

i'm only twelve so a lot of these jokes are ofer my head but you shuddnt do drugs and if youre name is wino because youra wino then you should put tha bottle down.

happy birthday from mcgraw, who notes that ther is no over 18 rule on thiss site an thats why im here. but somtimes the language on here is adulty

posted by mcgraw 28 September | 14:38

Scewtop wine, feelin' fine.
What's the word? thunderbird!
What's the price? 30 twice!

You are all sweeter than Jewish wine.

Mcgraw,
Fear not, for your voice will deepen and you will soon be taller than the girls. Also know, that I never take drugs unless perscribed by the really people that live around the corner from me (on is 50 years old, by that age you have an honorary MD, it's true, lookit up) or to be polite. I drink because God made us thus. From my lofty perch at the grand old age of 30, I can tell you this above all:

Do not keep your keys in your front pocket if you value your sack!

happy birthday DW. glad to know 30 is as bad as 21 :)

posted by muddgirl 28 September | 15:27

*moves keys to back pocket*

Thanks for the advice, Mister Wino.

yor advice sounds like what Mr. Rhythm said in this movie i wassnt supposed to see:

"dont let your dick ruin your life"

posted by mcgraw 28 September | 15:31

30 is way better than 21 for me, early 20's were sorta doo-doo. I just mentioned that I hurt my back because I thought it was funny that the instant I am about to turn 30 I get a back pain.

Anyway soon enough the drinking and the birthday dinner and the resting and the sleeping.

Welcome mcgraw.

posted by Divine_Wino 28 September | 15:33

Mr. Rhythm really said dont let it run your life. i thought it would be funny to say ruin because some people ruin lives with their dick. theyre both funny to me but im twelve

i hope the good legal drugs from the doctor make your back feel better. have a great 30th DW!

posted by mcgraw 28 September | 15:37

mcgraw, what'd you smoke this morning?

posted by Specklet 28 September | 15:50

He didn't smoke nothing, he's twelve. I, on the otherhand, smoked two marlboros and some sucker who was looking at me funny, this morning.

posted by Divine_Wino 28 September | 15:54

UPDATE:
I now contain beer.

Kisses all.

posted by Divine_Wino 28 September | 16:17

Uh, mcgraw isn't twelve. Actually, now that I think about it, it could explain his strangely surreal non-sequitor posts...

I keed, I keed.

Me, too. Now will one of you chicks say "vagina," in an Aussie accent so we can pretend we're hanging out?

posted by jonmc 28 September | 16:31

Yeah and then have someone from Tennessee laugh like a methed up hyena /injoke.

mcgraw isn't twelve

I was just running along with his joke, which I liked. We all knew that however.

Update 2: I contain 2 beers.

ramix, that would be fun! I'll actually be upstairs at the Good Foot tonight (SE Stark and 28th) shootin' pool, starting around seven, in case you're around tonight.

And mudpuppie, I've been known to make out with folks who weren't packin' penises. And you're kind of a cutie.

I'm the derail queen today, by the way.

Shoot. I didn't mean the "kind of" in the way that diminishes your cuteness. It was more of a verbal stutter sort of thing.

Cutie.

I hope you're not going to be out of town when I'm there! We must meeeeet in the flesh!
