Re: why, Palinka, why?
Personally I find cynisism to be a very good quality, as long as it's not without humour.

Re: why, Palinka, why?
Exactly. I think that's what I was trying to say. You can be cynical and still very humorous, but without the humor it just becomes somewhat mean and, after a while, a real drag. I mean, I'm all for the dark side of things, but somebody like that just sucks the life out of the room. I guess cynicism without humor is more akin to bitterness than anything.carls wrote:Personally I find cynisism to be a very good quality, as long as it's not without humour.

Perhaps that's why I like "Leaving Las Vegas" so much. Funny cynisisms. "Nurse? ARGH!"Generic Jug wrote:Exactly. I think that's what I was trying to say.

I would think that Palinka would be more "post weary" than world weary. He has to read a lot a shit to get his informative and witty point across (including mine). He upped the ante here, and most can't compete. I also admire the fact that he is a 'true' drunk. Not a weekend drunk, not a poser, not a frat boy drunk, but a real, live adult drunk. Can I get an amen?
Do I detect bottle envy? Don't. The bottles are empty, and you can't get to them anyway. They're under glass.

Re: why, Palinka, why?
I'm acquainted with Old Man Stoli. He is the pre-nup enforcer. All they get to keep are the gifts. I was still in L.A. when ex-wife number three torched one of his cars. Seems he likes to hand out the cubic zirconia...Rowdydrunk79 wrote:Whoa, your dad has had five wives and still has something left for you to inheirit?

Okay well I am at this very moment raising my half-full (NOT half-empty, haha) glass to you Palinka. (Gulp) A saccarine sense of humor is what gets me through the day (or night) and anyone who don't get it is that much less of my time wasted getting to know, i.e. bye! And "Guest?" You'll pass judgement without even deigning to identify yourself in any way?Generally (well, okay, always,) I'm drinkin' if I'm on this board, I know this is somewhere I can come and not be judged. Somehow this makes sense to me, the correlation between humor and drinking...I don't know but I gotta go, I got guests coming so I should try to make myself presentable. Wish me luck! (It's ok, theyt're old friends I haven't seen in awhile, they've met me before, now they're just getting a refresher course)

I consider Palinka to be a friend, even though we've not met in person. I know that if I go to Budapest, or he comes to Jersey, each has a guaranteed pad to crash, a fridge to raid, and lots of booze to drink.

I still can't believe you mastered that art. I commend you.
