Drunkard

"Whaddya mean two plus two is four?
It's not.
It's eight.  I can prove it.
Challenge me all you like; I'm the best.

Does the world seem like it's spinning faster?
Who dropped in the Chevy Small Block?
Hey! Watch where I'm goin'!
"Step outside; I'll kick my ass!" *
Obama and Clinton? Fuck 'em!

Geez, turn down the chainsaws, willya?
Hey baby, what's your sign?
Gimme another, make it strong!
I want them there elli-phants to come squish me.
Whaddya mean there ain't no such thing?
There's one right there behind you!

Man, what time is it?
Two Am?  Geeez.
Whaddya lookin' at, huh?
I know, y'aint never seen no one as hot as me.
I'm......invincible....
I'm...."
Zzz..................

Interesting...

this one goes all over the place, kinda hard for me to follow. I guess I am computer illiterate? Computer drinking? I am afraid this may have went right over my head. Love ya anyway! Sincerely, Mark

I do like how the computer seemed to crash, as we humans do with alcohol overload. Me.

Thanks, my friend. Actually, you got the main point - it is supposed to go all over the place, kind of like a drunk person when they speak. Just picture some completely trashed person muttering this poem. (actually, that's what I should do... I should put it all in quotations so it's apparent that he's speaking the lines... or trying to. LOL!) I guess I'm not drunk often enough to accurately portray one. The "I haven't been drinking, my keys/laptop/computer has" jab is a sort of inside joke - if someone types out a whole string of misspelt crap, or fat fingered the keys, they'll usually say that. Jess Elf is famous for it in chat and a couple others. I'll use it from time to time as well. Hopefully upon a re-read all will become clear. LOL! ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "Just 'cause you have one, doesn't mean you need to be one....."

Good reasoning, and I was wondering if anyone would be bold enough to point out. LSD eh? Didn't we discuss this? Am I gonna have to make your computer go stand in the corner again? LOL, thanks for the read and the comments. ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "I hope no one asks me to show them the ropes; I have no idea where they are.

I can prove that .3 + .6 = 1 but you need to see it drawn out in front of you before it makes sense. :~) Thanks for reading. ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "I hope no one asks me to show them the ropes; I have no idea where they are.
