10. Drive. Not to advocate something illegal, but it is damn hard to drive while drunk. Motor vehicles require surprising amounts of coordination to keep either between the lines or even on the pavement. If you can avoid doing it, avoid doing it. 9. Type.

Say goodbye to your Saturday. Link
Of all the stupid things, if the State can’t work out a budget by next Monday, “non-essential services” will start to be shut down. So, when you can’t renew your license at the Sec. of State, you also won’t be able to drown your sorrows as package liquor distribution will stop. You can still buy, […]
This site is now running WordPress 2.3, thanks to the new upgrade; check out the link for a huge feature list. Of note (and the reason for this post) is the new native tagging system. After trying to get Ultimate Tag Warrior working on this site, and giving up, WP now has it built in. […]
