MediaWest Sketchbook Ought-Five

[phosfate]

One nice thing about sitting around watching DVDs, on endless lines, in a five-hour art auction, or listening to Sharon talk about the current administration: You've got to do something with your hands besides hold a drink in them. Well, I do. My alcohol tolerance is very low, and my choice of booze this year very poor. (That Beer Sharon Got -- decent taste, high alcohol content. Bottled Kahlua Mudslide -- lost its charm, now tastes like Yoo-Hoo and vodka. Guinness -- sentimental attachment because it's mauftarkie's favorite, lovely texture and smell, tastes like diet root beer and baby aspirin.) Also, we bought colored pencils at Meijers, and they had to be used, or it would've been a waste of three whole dollars.

Anyway, here's a picture.



Sharon (after hatching layer #35 is added): Why didn't you just draw it on black paper?
Ann: Bite me.

Hey, you're the one who shook your head at the Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur. Or however it's spelled. ;-) ('course, it's probably "high alcohol content" too...)

The picture is lovely, though. And black paper wouldn't have the lovely texture that you've got there.

hee. that's great! Poor Nicky. I especially like the fire ant queen.

I don't care. I like it! Lots and lots.

Fish bone, yay!

Our latest girlie drink poison is a deadly concoction from the local Mexican dive they call a "Borracho." Kinda like a White Russian, only with tequila 'stead of wodka. If we get the silly waiter, he makes me a double, and I slither home full o' chips 'n booze.

I don't suppose you've seen Kids in the Hall's Girlie Drink Drunk sketch? Nah, no one has.

I only get to drink once or twice a year, since I usually have to drive. Which is okay, since I don't like the stuff much. I like wussie white wine coolers. I digs the Irish coffee when I can get it. And Sharon once gave me a Perfect Beer, the name of which she has never been able to remember since. I hate her so much.

My Dad and sister once got totally wasted on White Russians at a country club dinner. Coincidentally, we stopped going out to eat there at approximately the same time.

...then the Fire Ant Queen bestowed love's true kiss upon Sleeping Nicky, and he woke from his anoxic slumber.

"I have awakened you, Nicky!" said the Fire Ant Queen. "Come, be my Prince Consort, and abide with me in my royal chambers."

And Sleeping Nicky looked into the Fire Ant Queen's eyes, and said, "OH GOD OH GOD OH JESUS GET ME OUT OF HERE MY LIPS ARE ON FIRE OH CHRIST GILLLLLLLLL! GILLLLLLLLLLLL!"

yay!

Best. story. ever.

Sweet.

That's why we live smack in the middle of the city. True, sometimes, I have to shoo sleepy drunks off my front lawn, and pedestrians appear think it's good form to leave moist Dick's Drive-In wrappers in the shrubbery, but, dammit, we can drink like a BUNCH O' CANADIANS!! Yee-haw!

I...I'll just be inside with a quite cuppa.

[mechturtle.livejournal.com]

Ha! Great art, and I share your Kahlua Mudslide disappointment.

Lovely Day for a Guinness

[mauftarkie.livejournal.com]

Last time I went to partake some of that Guinness Goodness, the tap had blown and they had none.

Bastards.

I had to settle for a lesser beer. I don't remember what it was, but I do remember getting a good buzz from it. I'm such a cheap date...

my mother was desperately traumatized by the finale, so i showed her this (and the haiku), and she was HEALED!

HEALED I SAY.

I nearly liked it. Loved the texture. Liked the smell. If I could only get past that taste barrier...

Pray with me, lcsbanana!
