Well, why not.

WHY NOT INDEED
(You know I loved the last one.)

Are these what you collect each day, or are these what you drink each day? If it's the latter, you must have a titanium liver.

I dunno about titanium, but I'll bet my liver's pretty well-exercised... :-)

Now's the best time to ask you this: did you read Amis' "Everyday Drinking" (with an intro by Christopher Hutchens) yet? I just bought it.

Obviously I suck, since I hadn't even heard of it until I read this post. It's now on reserve at my local library. I do try to act quick... :-)
