Guilty Pleasure
« on: September 28, 2007, 01:46:41 AM »
The dark holds my empty hand
The stars have turned away
Time to stroke my guilty pleasure
It’s cold – but that’s my way.
I shield it from prying eyes
Take it out when drunk or tired
Polish it with some guilty pleasure
Until my brow is perspired.
I tell no-one of my guilty pleasure
Lest they not understand
I’m left with my shameful smile
And the darkness in my hand.

Cheers

That's ok. I like Victoria Bitter Beer too.
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

I was thinking coffee.

My soul?
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

The problem with the Beer Theory is how does 'polishing' fit in?

And why do it secretly?  (unless he's doing in it the loo at school)

Nah... not beer.

Either he just polished it off... or it's near that country next to Germany that I forgot about. The one the Nazi's invaded.

Good Lord - never in my wildest dreams would I have anticipated the results.

I guess that's why we keep coming here...

Cheers
