36. So now we know how Dems got through Coronation Day
Drunk and High and playing poker. You guys are all right!

Iread in the papers that JK himself was at the Hawk and Dove bar in DC the night before with Iowa staffers, commiserating. It's a long Dem tradtion. He who fights and gets away, lives to drink another day!

Nice to see things haven't changed that much. LOL!

40. Kleeb, you are so young
Ahm, well at least you didn't get gender confusion or some other type of confusion. Ethnic confusion goes with being a Democrat. We often feel such solidarity with traditionally oppressed peoples as Jews, African-Americans and others that we think we ARE them. Common transference. Goes with being a Young Dem.

It could be worse. I once spent four hours looking at, never mind. Women's studies are very strange.

The older you get the more you will accept your confusion. It is the natural state of living. Only the young think there is actual someone in charge and that things are orderly and that the world will make sense. This too shall pass.

42. Okay, I'm starting to feel like Obi-Wan Kenobi
That's okay young Jedi, you have to learn to use the force. It takes time.

Seriously, it's okay. Sometimes getting completely baked gives you perspective. You get perspective when you wake up the next morning and you feel like a truck ran over your mouth. You get perspective when you see your friends the next day and all they do is laugh. "Man, you should have seen yourself last night. You were so funny." And you can't remember a damned thing.

Just, you know, don't make too much of a habit of it. Nice brain cells you got there, be a shame if something happened to them.

44. Yes, I do
For Kleeb, with affection from Obi-Wan:

from: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/seal/puffthemagicdragon.html

"Puff (The Magic Dragon)"

Yeah...
Puff, the magic dragon,
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff.
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail.
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail.
Noble kings and princes
Would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags
When Puff roared out his name. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
A dragon lives forever,
But not little girls and boys.
Painted wings and giant rings
Make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened,
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon,
He ceased his fearless roar.
His head now bent in sorrow,
Green scales fell like rain,
And Puff no longer went to play
Along that cheery lane.
Without his life-long friend,
He could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave.
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee
No...oh...Do you ever think about me anymore...no...yeah...say oh...

You're adorable when you're still a little woozy.

46. Ahm, Kleeb
You get a pass on that one, cuz I'm in a good mood.

I may be old, but I still have trace memories, ny dear boy. Yes, I do know a few things about music that was around when I was young and irresponsble.
Yes, I did know that was about dope.
Yes, we had dope when I was a kid.
Yes, I vaguely remember what that was like.

Like I said kid, you got a pass on that one. Don't abuse it.
