Attention, dictators

Why be drunk with power when you can be drunk with drink instead? It's simpler.

This is one of your most inconsequential posts ever! Congratulations. :) By the way, I thought you were going to review the Simpsons Movie...

Did I say that I was going to? Hmmmm. I did post some comments here. I enjoyed it.

You could be drunk with life or, possibly, cough medicine if you preferred minimum effort and expense.

What's wrong with being drunk?

Ask a glass of water.

Alexis, Baron von Harlot said...

Sorry.

TimT said...

Don't ask the glass of water too much, though, or this might happen.

"There was Mr Edward Carpenter, who thought we should in a very short time return to Nature, and live simply and slowly as the animals do. And Edward Carpenter was followed by James Pickie, D.D. (of Pocahontas College), who said that men were immensely improved by grazing, or taking their food slowly and continuously, after the manner of cows. And he said that he had, with the most encouraging results, turned city men out on all fours in a field covered with veal cutlets. Then Tolstoy and the Humanitarians said that the world was growing more merciful, and therefore no one would ever desire to kill. And Mr Mick not only became a vegetarian, but at length declared vegetarianism doomed ("shedding," he called it finely, "the green blood of the silent animals"), and predicted that men in a better age would live on nothing but salt. And then came the pamphlet from Oregon (where the thing was tried), the pamphlet called "Why should Salt suffer?", and there was more trouble. "
