  • Seasonal tonic
  • Penultimate November fades , and a short list of seasonal rules appear. 1] Ignore all major media . 2] Do not enter any shopping malls. 3] Thrift stores and house sales suffice 4] Take great care in observing all forms of wheeled transportation due to the sordid tendencies of seasonal inebriation. 5] Long holiday weekends and family projects often seem a task for those not used to them , so beware the angry sports displaced American male who is finally completing a household project put off since spring 6]In laws? Enough said. 7] Office parties seem the greatest of misnomers 8] Consider a short out of town vacation 9] Make like your house animal and curl up in a warm corner 10] Fall in the catnip and doze off until January 3rd.................... Books concerning libations are pretty fair sellers this year. Could be the war or the economy or a combination of the two/ Drink up America. The nixon years are here again , and the cheese is getting stale on k street. Time to clean out the cat box , and send out for another pizza. Yeah , suppose that all the air travel we have been up to is a bit of a drag on the ecology. All that pretty contrail purple skies. Near twenty percent of our atmosphere. Time for replacing with lighter than air transport. Moratorium on commercial air traffic is the only real cure . Subversive? Not really , more or less Gaia positive logical thought. Potable water is scarce. Population shift back to the Great Lakes are only a matter of time , or another region's lack of water. So drink up America ! It is later than any of us would like to imagine! As a youth on the south shore of Lake Erie right past the flying turns and Bratenahl curves the ICBM missiles at the NIKE SITE , posed with full priapic regalia , next to the Gordon Park rock crudely spray painted " Help Me I'm Dying" , a cryptic ecological cry for the city of Cleveland today . In the distance past the ICBM missile the entirety of skyline Cleveland's Terminal Tower loomed only a few miles to the west , returning the salute. His cowboy mind was a washing the blood off the hotel room walls last evening, laughing aloud counting demons on both hands. So have another drink America! Let off some steam. Sure , size means something. All those mini penile unit Spurt Uncouth Vulgarities that the hicks go for. Proves the old adage that the smaller the penis the larger the truck. Opposite applies for the fairer gender. Honk , honk. Get that parking space! ...............Book Selling Time! In keeping with the spirit of the amped up and over imbibed clucked up freaks who start to jabber away in some foreign language when greased way up to the gills on sauce , we offer. O'DELLS BOOK OF COCKTAILS AND FANCY DRINKS IN ENGLISH AND JAPANESE. Published in Yokohama , Japan in 1932 , a very scarce and desirable volume . Perhaps if the diplomatic cores of both Japan and the United States of America would have paid a little more attention to these drink recipes we could have skipped the mess at Pearl Harbor..... Hate to bring up a sorry subject but here goes. Due to that old scoundrel nixon and his China expedition we are repeating today a few economic and strategic mistakes that our political elders erred on in the pre world war two 1930's.We are shipping our scrap metal today to China in the year 2007. We shipped a lot of our scrap metal to Japan prior to WW Two . Poet e.e. cumming's said it best , referring to the Japanese receiving our scrap metal; " We shipped them the second avenue el , they sent it back to us at a higher velocity".Touche! Banzai! We are shipping the Chinese our scrap today and they are sending us back cheap plastic toys laced with lead paint , tacky dollar store items , and poisonous foodstuffs. Thank you very much k street and the entire political circus that conspires to bring us daily the bought ,told, and sold circus known as contemporary America. An ugly political climate , and no fun with the European and Middle Eastern nuclear mobsters wheeling and dealing to any rogue nation wishing to take a swipe at the good old USA. Yeah man! Drink up America! Dig a hole in the sand and stick your cranial orb between your legs and kiss your...... Hey , have a drink for me, I prefer sarsaparilla. Actually the Philly Red Birch Beer manufactured by the Boylan Soda Bottling Company is my favorite carbonated beverage. Check some out!
