MG: News you can use
Seeing as how the election is upon us, it’s time to get serious about safe drinking. In brief, it’s important to know that whiskey can be a life saver. This is not up for debate or discussion because it’s science. And as everyone knows, when we say something is science, it’s completely beyond debate.
In case anyone would want to dispute the science, here are some people with British accents, which is all the proof you need that something is true enough to be science:
Cheeky.
Hello all. Insomniac Brit here. Lovely to see you all gathered.
I've only dipped into the new Dispatch site (ooh, good heavens to Murgatroyd!), due to less time and our politics across the pond having been somewhat 'frenzied' of late.
But...bring on the mid-terms. I look forward, as always, to learning from your informed, measured and amusing opinions :-)
Nice to see a clip of QI too. A very popular show over here.
So, WTF, MG?? Were you practicing safe drinking at 6AM when you posted this little gem?? Tried gettin' in here from the email in my inbox, but no matter what I clicked, the Blue Wheel of Death spun and spun and always landed on 502 Substack Bad Post, or some such, on the tab of a big blank page.
Have those Substack guys gotten into not only criticizing but outright censoring their clientele, (in which case I must object to their opinion of you...now, if they were talkin' about me, that would be a different story), or were you just following the advice of the experts in your clip and perhaps steeled yourself a bit too much against injury for the day and maybe fumbled something as you hit the send button??
Whatever the cause, I had to sneak in here through the back door in my Substack inbox. Which is a bit demeaning, since as a paying customer whose cash is as green as any other's I think I have just as much right to walk in the front door as anyone else.
But I digress. I'm actually here to say that you don't need no stinking British accents to attest to the veracity of this well-known, scientifically proven property of alcohol. Moments ago, I fell - and fell hard - off the couch while LMFAO'ing that clip. It's Happy Hour here, and I was about two Miller High Life's happy when this dreadful mishap occurred. And I'm here to attest (in a bit-worn-but-still-intact Kentucky Bluegrass accent) to the fact that "I'm Good!! Y'all!!"
Hell, I'm more than good. If whiskey really can save your life, I reckon I must be just about downright immortal by now...
