That Ol’ Kentucky Reign

 

Superman had Kryptonite.

 

Bill Russell owned Wilt Chamberlain.

 

And in the end, Cobrai Kai was no match for Myagi and LaRusso.

 

The point being, that sooner or later, every man meets his match. This past Friday, I met mine in the form of Jim Beam. Don’t get me wrong, I lika-the-whiskey from time to time. I enjoy the intoxication of a few Jameson on the rocks and the goofiness it can bring. Yet, there’s something about “doing shots ” of burboun that can turn a mere mortal into a babbling manic bafoon. One minute I’m on point ripping jokes. Next thing you now, I’ve tunred into a whimpering preteen girl if she just found out that Joey Lawrence was gay.

It may be unfair of me to lay the blame solely on Mr. Beam. All aftermentioned shots were quickly washed down with a smoothe tasting can of Pabst Blue Ribbon. I have had plenty of experience with the PBR and have usually walked away with moderate success. I’ve never really have had Jim Beam by itself, but having whiskey burbon on it’s own hasn’t caused too much trouble. So, maybe my nemesis is the combonation of the two. It’s tempting yet potentially fatal to mix them. Kind of like if the Ghostbusters crossed the streams. Potentially fatal.

  2. Hey there Wes,
    Yeah, I ran inot you earlier that evening and you looked just fine. A few Newport Ultra Light Menthal’s later and "you’ve come a long way, baby." Well, I hope you didn’t ride your bike or use any farm equipment that night.

    I like how you refered to it as "whiskey bourbon" at one point. Like a drunk Czech tourist at the Village Idiot. "Ahh, yaaah! Ve drinks ze whiskey bour-bone, and den, ve, eh… you know, den ve make party teel break-of-dawn!"

    I’ve seen this kid drink. The words "Two Beer Queer" come to mind.

    I find a boilermaker saves time and memory. This way, instead of wasting time drinking, you can get down to the business of embarassing yourself and ruining all social standing you have. Or you could be…responsible, but I wouldn’t advise it.

    I recommend the song "Hangin’ Out With Jim" by GG Allin. It gets to the core of what Jim Beam is about.

    I think I may just switch to gin, or Shirley Temples.
