on the hook-er

brendan behan said something like "i was away when they tried me, and away when they sentenced me to death, so i said they could execute me in my absence too."

i, on the other hand, and am here the whole while, while irish luck stabs me repeatedly with a pen-knife, making little marks on me that wont last forever but are a bitch to get rid of. my deadline is 24 hours away for all my paperwork, my problem is immediate, and my solution is out deep sea fishing right now and wont be back til next saturday.

when the going gets tough, the tough get drunk.
or go fishing.
they say.
