Someone needs to make a hangover cure that isn't cocaine.

[Curses, man. They get you every time.]

I'd hate to meet the dog that bit you.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[There's a long pause. It seems to stretch on for an eternity. And then...]

That's unfortunate.

[defies_reason]

The hangover, the cocaine, the Network post, or my commentary?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'd say the third option is the most unfortunate. Your commentary is completely reasonable, given the circumstances.

[defies_reason]

Some pickle brine would do you better than the cocaine, I suspect.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I imagine most things would do me better than cocaine, but I'll put pickle brine on the list.

I don't think I get it.

[Oh fuck, what is his life.]

That's probably for the best.

[defies_reason]

True, it isn't setting the bar very high.

My recommendation stands nonetheless.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

As someone generally inexperienced in the complexities of hangovers, your recommendations are welcomed.

[defies_reason]

I'm sure I needn't tell you the best cure is not to end up with one in the first place.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'm not sure that qualifies as a cure so much as a preventative. And it's generally the one I follow, but occasionally, well...

[Occasionally he makes dumb choices.]

[defies_reason]

Repetition is the mother of learning.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I don't think that's quite how the phrase goes, but it's not inaccurate. On the other hand, I don't intend to repeat the experience for a good long time.

[defies_reason]

Probably the safest bet.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Another safe bet would be avoiding posting idiotic things publicly.

[defies_reason]

That might not be so easily accomplished.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'm going to choose to interpret that as meaning that no matter what we do, idiotic things will get posted to the Network one way or another, as opposed to taking it to mean that I'm chronically incapable of avoiding doing idiotic things and then talking about them.

Frontal lobotomy?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

That would very likely cure the desire to ever drink again. As well as the desire to do much of anything else.

[affectioning]

Have you tried water?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

The first thing I should have tried was not posting this in the first place, but I'm not sure I could have avoided it.

If I have any more water I might drown.

[affectioning]

I posted something, too.

More alcohol? And I hear grease helps. Like, bacon.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'd say 'welcome to the club,' but I don't think it's a club anyone wants to be a part of.

Bacon. Well. It can't hurt. As for more alcohol, I'm not sure I ever want to look at alcohol again.

[affectioning]

I'd send anything to my best friend. If he's still my best friend. But, I didn't even send this to just him. Do you do cocaine?

Can I do anything?
