der var engang en mand.

  • der var engang en mand.
  • Hans hår var hvidt som sne.
  • I turned the television off. I'd had enough of Ingmar Bergman's black and white films about Swedish chef-talkin' ladies losing their minds. I had my own mind to lose, and time was
  • tinkling away like the loose change in my pockets. I had prepared for many months for this evening; it wasn't every day the opportunity to get fundamentally blotto presented itself
  • and getting trashed on scotch from the Senator's own collection was a boon. I headed into the party. As I passed the kitchen, the door swung open for a fleeting second, and I saw
  • one of the ponies from My Little Pony. I didn't ask the pony what it was doing there, because I already knew. It was go time. With my alcohol fueled super powers at their peak I
  • blacked out faster than a speeding bullet. I woke up two weeks later with a dead pony and missing one shoe. I was a superhero. I was Super Sloshed Man.
  • I could make other people drunk just by staring at them. I could bounce a check faster than the Federal government. My bar tabs knew no bounds. And my arch-nemesis was Sobriety
  • Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the Lohans, I will fear no judgement. His rod and his staff, they comfort me. My cups runneth over and I
  • laugh in the face of the Lohans. And laugh in the face of the Zohan. And just laugh. And laugh. Ha.

    Lines 1 & 2: There was once a man. His hair was white as snow.

    It's a well know swedish nursery rhyme which continues with: . . . och överallt mannen gick, hans hår var säker att gå.
