So, since a digression thread has been newly reopened, I'll post here rather than start a new topic. Not a big fan of new topics, anywho.

I just fixed myself a double gin-and-tonic. Bombay Sapphire gin, even, making me yuppie scum, but that's neither here nor there. The point is that I'm drinking in front of the tube with some music running (Calexico, at the moment -- very mellow and highly recommended) and, of course, the 'puter on, by myself, and having a wee drinkie-poo.
According to the definitions of the American medical community and the more responsible and restrained corners of my culture, I am an alcoholic. Which is to say, I've more days with drink than without, I average more than two alcoholic beverages per day, yada yada yada. It's not something that worries me terribly. I come from a long line of high-functioning drinkers, and the only totally abstaining grandparent died more decrepit and insane and bitter and hateful than the rest of them.
Anyway, here's a video clip I think is damned funny.
