That is what I heard at 1:00 this morning. Some crazy Texan (Not Durham or Dartez) was bellowing his fool head off behind my house. He went through about an hour of various curses, racial slurs, non-sequitors, and even told the guard dog at the storage place that it's mom was a drug addict. Or maybe he was talking to some other b*tch. I am certain he was alone until the po-po showed up (I called them after about 1/2 an hour). How do I know he was a Texan? Because he kept yelling "I am a Texas (racial slur)!" at the top of his voice. I did not go out to confirm if he really was the race he purported to be.
So I am really tired this fine Thursday morning.
Luckily, Trailhead 'Geeks Who Drink' Trivia went well and we won by a landslide (or is it by a sidekick?) After much cajoling, bribery, and promises we finally got on the quizmasters' good side.
Anyway, as you may know, some of our FAC friends are leaving the country because they are wanted by the authorities for bellowing at the top of their lungs behind my house.....hahahahah. Not really. Luke and Audrey Anna are going to Mexico! So they will be spending FAC on the beach and none of the rest of us are invited. Poo.
So all the rest of y'all (don't mess with Texas) should come out and have more fun than ever!!! Let's go out to OLD CHICAGO (in Olde Towne next to Drunken Monkey)!
We should try to meet before 6 so we can take advantage of the beer and snack specials...... I will be there a little before 5 -- like 4:30 or so! Maybe after we can stop in to the Drunken Monkey and pretend we are at the beach ourselves....or pretend to beach ourselves....
Now some of you may think that the Chicago theme is as far from Texas as you can get, but I think it is pretty Texan. I mean we know CHI-town likes things big:
Big water:
Big water with big ice:
Big art:
Big buildings:
Big pizza:
Big fire:
Also it used to be one of the biggest cow-towns in the US.
Let us rejoice in all that is the Windy City!
It's a 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes; it's dark and we're wearing sun glasses. Hit it!

I am going to St. Petersburg, Florida, tomorrow. Let the worthy citizens of Chicago get their liquor the best they can. I'm sick of the job--it's a thankless one and full of grief. I've been spending the best years of my life as a public benefactor.

I think that's how Chicago got started. A bunch of people in New York said, "Gee, I'm enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn't cold enough. Let's go west."

Stay tuned for next weeks theme, which will be something fun we discussed at Surfside last week but I forgot. Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?
