I never intended my avatar to be a political statement. I apologize if it has offended you or made you uncomfortable. I just thought, politics aside, we could all share a drink together. If other people wish, I will change my avatar.

Edit: I guess you're asking me to put up a picture of my actual self? I'm working on it. I'm a pretty busy guy though, so no guarantees.

Edit #2: First edit came before your reply. I realize that after your reply it could sound smug and ill-conceived. That's not what I intended.

oh, god, dude, don't change on my account. i wouldn't say i'm uncomfortable about it, really. it's just easy to see folks here at their avatar (for instance, surreal looks like paul neuman, and the big casino is a dead ringer for val kilmer as doc holliday. end of story.). i wouldn't really leat this board get in the way of my politics, unless someone told me such-and-such a candidate was a neoprohibitionist dry motherfucker (actually, as a motherfucker myself, i'm kinda okay with the last part [my wife has spawned, you sick fucks!]).

anywah, let's all drink more! cheers!

(but that v.p. sumbitch is nutzo. nearbear on ice? fucking grow a pair, dude.)

Near as I can reckon, that avatar is reassuring. Nice to know Obama drinks, being the leader of the freeworld is a task that must be met head on with a turn-the-bottle-up approach.

It's been 24 hours since my last drink. I have no work for the next 3 days. I got paid tonight for doing a few hours. I can't see any reason NOT to drink...

I was thinking more along the lines of beer. And possibly some hookers. Fat ones at that...

Because I work 80 hours a week, 7 days a week, and the only way i can motivate myself to get up in the morning is by drinking at least 10 ounces of whiskey the night before. See, if you do the math correctly, it goes something like this: For every 5 ounces of whiskey I drink, that equals one less hour of actual work that I will do in the office. That means an 80 hour work week minus 10 ounces of whiskey per night equals a net total of 66 hours worked. I see the time I spend during the evening drinking myself to sleep as time spent investing in hours of paid idleness at work.

Because I just finished recording the debut album of my doom metal band, In the Company of Serpents. The rough mixes & eventually the finished product here:

Currently I'm tossing back Manhattans to celebrate.

That's how I took your avatar. I feel more secure with a president who drinks rather than that teetotalling evangelist ape who was our regime leader 2000-2008. Small gains, very small, but you have to take what you can get.
