  1. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    i love foster brooks!

    this from wikipedia:

    " As his "Lovable Lush" character, Brooks usually portrayed a conventioneer who had a few too many drinks — not completely falling-down drunk, but inebriated enough that he would mix up his words to comedic delight. Brooks drew upon his own battles with alcohol for his act, but the irony was that during his period of greatest fame, Brooks eschewed alcohol almost entirely. He gave up drinking to win a bet in 1964. "Fellow made me a $10 bet I couldn't quit, and I haven't had a drink since. At the time I needed the $10," Brooks said."

    ...wonder if i'll ever need ten bucks that much? hiccup...

  3. ODE FOR SAINT TAMMANY, this 1st day of May, 1787.

    Once more on Fair Schuylkill we cheerfully meet,
    Our Sachems, our warriors, our brethren to greet;
    The Great King above, has allow'd us again
    To bury the hatchet, and brighten the chain.
    Then your hands all my sons—who for freedom have stood,
    Who rescued my land at th' expense of your blood:
    Such honors in hist'ry's bright annals shall shine,
    And I glory to think such bold heroes are mine.

    Our hearts and hands are always free,
    To brave the storm for Tammany;
    When he commands, his sons obey,
    Over the hills and far away.

    Over the hills, like wind we fly,
    To crush the foe, or bravely die;
    Our Saint's commands none disobey,
    Over the hills and far away.

    To Columbia's glory,
    Recorded well in story,
    We'll fill the glass,
    And let it pass—
    ‘Confusion to each Tory. '

    Push about the brisk glass, ‘twill enliven the soul,
    'Tie the wine that absorbs all dull thinking;
    E'er Cupid himself must give way to the bowl,
    For his wounds are all caus'd by good-drinking.

    For ‘tis wine, generous wine, that all sorrow destroys,
    And route our vexations and care:
    The bottle was always a fountain of joy,
    That wash'd off the dregs of dispair.

    Sing (The Mickmack dialect.) guahee honigee—honigee, makoonos,
    Siskee anarichee, saturana waa;
    Oroonyagh makoonos, satira nekoonos,
    Sangua taverana kenan anungara.

    Drink round, drink round, each sachem and brother,
    Drink round, drink round, and heed what I say!
    A day like this, you'll ne'er find another,
    So let us be cheerful, brisk, merry and gay.

    Farewell ye fair banks, and ye fresh blooming trees,
    Soft scenes of rich plenty and sweet smiling ease;
    Again I return to the regions above,
    Add leave you my blessing, my wisdom, my love.

    Guard your rights while you live, with your swords and your guns,
    And may they descend, unalloy'd to your sons!
    While Sol on this day shall propitiously shine—
    Be Peace, Independence, and Liberty—thine.

    J. P.
