New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Aaack! I lost track of the little bugger.
Poor little fella.
Was prolly kidnapped by the Nabisco Elves.
What translation are you usin' that had him turnin' water into Wild Turkey?
Elfbash! (it's on Corin's profile page)
Must be the part about serving the best stuff last.
There ya go!
Phew!! He's not lost to us!
There he is!
Oh gosh, I really screwed up.
I've been promising Matthew for oh, 2 years? that I would take him to the midnight premiere of Sith. I forgot it was tonight and didn't get the tickets. It's sold out.
We're both pretty upset.
I promised we'd go first thing in the morning...the first showing is at 10am.
And Steve is on his way home so I'm gonna get him to drive us down there (it's just two miles) and let us check out the funky characters in front of the cinema...
Crap. I really hate promising someone something then blowing it.
THE LORD KNOWS I'M DRINKING
Recorded by Cal Smith
Words and music by Bill Anderson
Hello Mrs. Johnson, you self-righteous woman
Sunday School teacher, what brings you out slummin'
Do you reckon the preacher would approve where you are
Standin' here vis'tin' with a back-slidin' Christian,
In a neighborhood bar.
Well, yes, that's my bottle and yes, that's my glass
And I see you're eye-ballin', this pretty young lass
It ain't none of your bus'ness, but yes, she's with me
And we don't need no sermon, you self-righteous woman,
Just let us be.
CHORUS
The Lord knows I'm drinkin'; (the Lord knows I'm drinkin')
And runnin' around; (and runnin' around)
And He don't need your loud mouth informin' the town
The Lord knows I'm sinnin'; (the Lord knows I'm sinnin')
And sinnin' ain't right; (and sinnin' ain't right)
But me and the Good Lord's gonna have us a good talk
Later tonight.
Goodbye, Mrs. Johnson, you self-righteous biddy
I don't need your preachin', and I don't need your pity
So, go back to whatever, you hypocrites do
And when I talk to Heaven, be nice and I'll put in a good word for you.
CHORUS
The Lord knows I'm drinkin'; (the Lord knows I'm drinkin')
And runnin' around; (and runnin' around)
And He don't need your loud mouth informin' the town
The Lord knows I'm sinnin'; (the Lord knows I'm sinnin')
And sinnin' ain't right; (and sinnin' ain't right)
But me and the Good Lord's gonna have us a good talk
Later tonight.
Don't sweat it, sis.
Those tickets have probably been sold out for days.
You'll all have a better time tomorrow.
Have drink. You'll feel better...
Hi Bear!
Any luck on the vehicle front?
You mean it wasn't? Heh... OK... I wuz referring more to the mere alcohol than the form it took.
But from what I understand, the "wine" back in those days was fermented a little harder than nowadays and often ended up being from 40 to 80 proof... It weren't wine... it wuz grape whiskey. :-)
Got the lyrics handy to "God's own drunk". ??
I know...and I'm personally relieved. But I promised him. That's what I hate...I simply didn't think days ago to go get the tickets like I did for LOTR.
He's disappointed but handling it pretty well, considering how much he was looking forward to it. I take full responsibility...I made a promise and broke it. I hate it when I do stuff like that.
Well, I'm logging off. Steve'll be home soon.
I just can't believe after all this time I didn't follow through.
Good night!
So, it's simply a matter of time then.
Excellent!
