And all our yesterdays have lighted fools...
A man walks into a liquor store, intent on purchasing a bottle of spirits to celebrate his 39th year on this mortal coil. For a moment he stares longingly at the 18-year Laphroaig, then with a sigh he turns, grabs a bottle of Famous Grouse and heads slowly for the cash register. Thus is described the arc of his life.

Well, when you're 40 it will be 19.
ReplyDeleteHa! By the time I can afford it that bottle will be a lot older than 19...
ReplyDeleteOK OK so we know what you want for your birthday already

I think we should fund a cooked study that finds that drinking Scotch leads to baldness, impotence, and causes hives. If it gets enough media play, perhaps demand will drop a bit and the price of some of the single malts will fall into a more accessible range. In the meantime, happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteMore likely the new fashion will become bald, impotent and flush with hives. Hat business booms, Viagra/Cialis/Levitra become recreational drugs. Happy birthday Chad...
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. Yesterday was indeed my 39th. It's funny, I wrote that blog entry as sort of a dry, understated, self-deprecating joke, but then when I went back and read it, well, it just sounded depressing...
ReplyDeleteYou should put up a PayPal button to see if you can't garner enough by next year for the INTERNET to buy you a bottle.
ReplyDelete...Life is too Short to Drink Cheap wine..or Scotch.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated
Depressing, and slightly alcoholic.
ReplyDeleteKidding. Happy birthday!
