I also toss around the occasional idea that I've actually NOT made it past adolescence, 

So, being done with me lasted 2 rooms?

"Time Ladies and Gentleman Please!"

"We've had your glasses - now get off your ars*s!"

<looks at watch>  [it's just gone midnight GMT zero/London]

Blimey, i better head home to my little cot...

Seeya next weekend guys!: <trip-recovery-monkey_face> 

Agreed. I was drunk. It was time to go home. This probably didn't help my cause. 

"What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"

"Ask a glass of water."

I think I've drank too much tonight to accurately parse this. 

This may be part of the problem. I tend to log in here when I've had too much to drink yet I'm aware enough to know, "I need to get off mainstream social media to somewhere a little safer." 

In related news - when I first logged on, it said, "account not found," 

And my first thought was, "Well, I finally did it. Ig had enough of my shit." 

Seriously. I wasn't even shocked. I tried again. If it hadn't let me in - I would have sadly moved on - banned from yet another "no censoring," site for being beyond the pale.

"What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"

"Ask a glass of water."

"The door is ajar!"

"The door is a jar?!!"

Hey who's got time to "parse" when there is hell to raise and rabbles to rouse, (and songs to sing, and friends to cheer...)

Yeah i still havn't got my head around that last one.

I will meditate on this profound koan from IG as soon as i get home.

For now though: 'on with the bar-room philosophy!!'

Slainte!

Good authentic English Fish  Chips are fantastic. But of the 3 - we haven't yet mentioned that a Kidney Pie is the actual sweet spot.

I'd rather have fish & chips actually

Yup. Very strong flavor. Lots of iron. When you speak of "peasant" food - this is the sweet spot. That and blood sausage. 

Just like the American South - the food with the most flavor comes from the poorest quarters made from the worst leavings. If you ever get the chance, try it, at least. It is a strong taste. If you like wild game, you'll like Kidney Pie. They drown it in gravy and the kidney is just little bits and kibbles. It is mostly potatoes and vegetables and sauce. So good.

Wait ... like, from real kidneys? eeeewwwww

You gotta travel with me. Try the thing that makes you go, "Nope." My experience is, 6 times out of 10, you'll love it. The other 4 times, it is 50/50 between, "Not for me," and "Donde es el bano?!?" 

It is worth it. Americans are so timid about what they'll put in their mouths.

I don't mind trying new things, but I think I'll stick with my buffalo wings for now!

You're not wrong.  I'm more likely to try a new food if I don't have to pre-commit to a full portion.
