Evening all!

Dimpton Drinking Club

Once a month they leave their wives and off they go to St. Ives,
And there they develop some monumental thirst.
Twelve quarts a man is sunk and they claim not one gets drunk,
But they do admit that once they had one burst.

I don't go with them anymore, I said to myself, "What for?
Drink that homemade wine, made by Wally Cox?
I said, "This stuff, it tastes like stew, and it's a funny colour too,
They said, "Ah, that'll be the dye out of Wally's socks."

Once we stopped at a posh hotel
And Sid, he said, "Oh well, I'll just pop in and get an estimate for a gin and tonic."
Ted said, "I'll have a quart," I said, "You'll have half," he said, "Oh, don't make me laugh,"
That'll slop about my inside something chronic.

Inside we see Marg Tickle, looking like she's weaned on a pickle,
She sneered at Ted and without any warning,
He said, "You're ugly, you old crow," and she said, "You're drunk, I'll have you know,"
He says, "I know, but I'll be sober in the morning."

There's the landlord's daughter Gerta, she's a nice little bit of skirt,
So to show off Ted orders pints of the best.
He said, "And what'll you have, my dear?" she said, "I'll just have a mouthful of beer,"
He said, "Don't be greedy, you'll have a pint, same as the rest."

He said, "I can't buy this stuff," "Uh," he said, "I'll be glad when I've had enough,
And we can all move on to some better place.
She said, "Good riddance 'cause you're too rough, you don't know when you've had enough."
He said, "I do, I'll fall flat on my face."

And they start to have a row, she said, "You can't even see straight now,"
He said, "I can see straight, you don't have to shout."
He said, "I can see clear as a dye, that cat coming in's only got one eye."
She said, "That cat ain't coming in, he's going out."

Each time he sees the vicar, now he don't hold his strong liquor,
When he seen Ted I thought he was going to get cross.
But he said, "Last Sunday I was filled with elation, to see you in my congregation."
He said, "Thank God, I wondered where I was."

That night we was tight as ticks, the next morning about half past six,
When all was still and no one was about.
Wally's Uncle Sid lifted up the dustbin lid,
And quietly and carefully climbed out.

See, the night before he'd stripped off, cursed, and then dived in head first,
You see, he thought he was on the end of a pier.
And a policewoman passed by and murmured with sigh,
"What a waste, that one there's good for another year."

Oh dear, Wall had so much to sup, he woke the landlord up,
He phoned him up, he didn't have to shout.
He said, "We don't open until ten, you can't get in till then."
He said, "I don't want to get in, i want to get out."

Charlie, oh Charlie, he got so high, he laid down in the sty,
Next to a pig, and a passing priest was heard to say,
"You can tell a man who boozes by the company he chooses."
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Well I sit here like old Ghandi, with my little half a shanty,
While the lot goes and drinks up half St. Ives,
'Cause once a month each year, he goes off and they disappear, and he goes off on the beer,
And they leave behind their darling little wives.

Still you see, some men thirst for knowledge, and that's why they go to college,
But some needs ale and wine to quench their thirst.
But the thirst I like to quench, requires the cooperation of a wench,
And I wonder which of the little wives I should call on first.

Y'all say hi to my friend Tulip... she'll be by a bit later. She's lurked here at Amy's place for a while now. :)

[T'wit]

>> Hmm, I'd like to meet your Joe...

You'd better be a little careful about that, PAL. At least until we figure out what THIS means:

Then he'll kiss me an' it's Christmas ev'rywhere,

It could mean he's after your stocking. It could mean that all of a sudden you'll be wearing mistletoe, holly, ornaments and a string of blinking lights. It could mean that the moment "he'll kiss me," you get 14 inches of snow.

Absolutely! Hi Tulip, you come to the right place.

We're nice and friendly and…whatever, LOL.

[Darksheare]

Likely a car..
(She's leaning towards a VW Jetta 1.8liter turbo..)

[Darksheare]

We'll have to find out tomorrow likely, and my neck's cramping due to a fat cat shaped idol.
(It looks like my cat with an amused look on her chubby kitty face.)

Hi Victoria

Trout Mouth found this article in a magazine and asked me to post it.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Sam.

Thanks, Trout-Mouth!

The picture was in my 13th Air Force Veterans Newsletter Summer 2004. I thought the nose-art "1 for the Gipper" was pretty fitting..

Thanks SAMWolf for posting it.

Hi Everyone. Yes, I've looked on FreeRepublic for a while, but I haven't posted anything before. This is still kind of new to me. :)

[JustAmy]

Thanks, OESY

Another example of John F. Kerry's heros. Will a President Kerry destroy all the good that President Reagan did for our country? I believe so.

Sounds to me like he will be another all that is good has happened, nothing except black days ahead.

Evening, Victoria. Good to see ya tonight!

[Victoria Delsoul]

I totally agree with you. Thanks for getting Sam to post it here, TM.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I'm glad you decided to post here Tulip. Amy is a wonderful person. She's probably having her daily walk right now, but she should be back soon… I hope. :-)

Hey, there she is, LOL

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hiya AC!
