We Cannot Drink Alone
at Monday, January 18, 2010
It's Martin Luther King Day, and like most of you I was fortunate enough to have the day off of work. Something you might also be semi-aware of is that MLK Day has been designated as a national day of service. Meaning get your ass off the couch and do something for other people. Now I'm not really the kind of guy who would parade in front of others the exceptional ways in which I gave back to humanity today, so let's just say that lives were changed for the better. I merely need you to know it happened to ensure I don't look nearly as selfish for cashing in on the ultimate reward Dr. King intended for those who follow in his awesome shadow. Allow me to elaborate:
FACT: Dr. King wished us all to take an active role IN our communities and the human rights movement.
Dr. King + Involvement = Dr. (IN) King = DRINKING
With the highest amount of respect to him and his legacy, I raise a glass of fine Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey in Dr. King's honor. And consider it your act of service to not point out the irony of that statement and/or the flawed logic this entire post if rife with.

Are you absolutely sure that's Whiskey? Looks more like sweet tea to me.

Based on the clarity of that picture, I'm going to guess that's not your first raised glass of whiskey.

I got involved in Boston for MLK Day.
BOston + INvolved + KING = Boinking
I'm guessing I had more fun.

I see you made your girlfriend hold the glass.
Trying to get her drunk for later?
Hope the wife doesn't find out.
Or are you right-handed?

I was at work. AND I didn't do any drinking. I have failed Dr. King.

The equation is brilliant. It just might be the way you can change your status from "Pending" to "Genius."

If all math was this enjoyable, I would have done much better in school.

Since you participated in your act of service, does that mean you get a free pass to a Disney park?

I like how you purposely blurred that picture there, to let us participate in the whiskey-goggles effect.
I had dinner with the Fledgling Sparrow at her Uni on Sunday, and some frat boy twat was handing out leaflets to hot chicks whilst chatting them up to cut classes on Monday and come to his frat's rally for MLK Day. It's a private Uni and they just got back from 4 weeks of Xmas break, so the Uni doesn't give them the day off. Frat twat (rich white boy, of course) launches in to this diatribe to rich hot soro girls about how it's their right to come to the rally, man, and if the profs won't let them, just stand up announce it, and walk out. At this point I had had enough, and so loudly proclaimed "Oh yes, let's all celebrate the birth of a man who was known for pushing education by ditching classes and acting like a privileged ass!" The Fledgling slowly sunk under the table and the frat twat slunk off.
At least you had a better line of reasoning.
Salud!

I will so drink to that, even though MLK day is over. Hey, better late than never.
