"Hello, I'm back!" - Where have you been? What's your excuse?

[Mr Boozificator]

Hey, Boozy - how the hell are you, mon ami?

Are you in Bordeaux or some god-forsaken dry war zone?

I am in Brittany, playing the teacher for young LTs, things are fine thanks.

Hello again, to those of you who remember me. And hello for the first time to those who don't. Not trying to spam or anything, but a few of you, NYDingbat especially, know that I have been trying for years to publish some of my writing and I'm happy to say that it has finally happened. This saturday, july 20th, sanitarium magazine will be publishing a piece of my short fiction. It's a milestone for me and of course I'm drinkin copious amounts of beer to celebrate. Just thought I'd share the good news with everyone. You may now return to your normally scheduled drinking.

Cheers!

Grats Hoss... and well met.

Alot of the folks on here are witty and have a great wit, along with a gift for prose, one I sadly don't possess. I do admire it though, so cheers.

[Surreal]

Great Job Hoss. Some of our finest authors through the ages were complete drunks. It seems like you've picked up the old flag and run with it. Great work.

A quick look at drunk authors through the ages:

Medieval Drunkard Author - St. Monica: Patron Saint of Alcoholics. Although reformed, she could really put 'em back in her day.


Shakespearean Drunkard Author - a very compelling case indeed - http://www.preventragedy.com/pages/shakespeare.html


Irish Ex-pat Drunkard Author - no comments needed.


Gonzo Drunkard Author - ditto


Pulitzer Prize winning Drunkard author - John Cheever


Jazz Age Drunkard Author - the one, the only, F. Scott.


And now...... our own Hoss Thomas. The Modern Drunkard Author

[Palinka (RIP)]

Well done, hoss! I hope that you'll let us non-US residents know when or where we can read it.
Meantime, cheers!

[JohnnyTequila]

well done Hoss. I've been published. But I doubt you would want to read it. Unless you like Angewandte Chemie.

[hossthomas]

[NYDingbat]

Wonderful, wonderful! Your quite monumental talent has finally been recognized by those who can make a career of it for you and not just by those of us who know great from bad through the liquor looking glass.

The only thing surprising about this is how long it took. Congratulations on the sense of your publishers!

[hossthomas]
