Whatda Fuck, I'm half drunk again....
I do love good beer. Living in Thailand they are few and far, ain't they? This Coopers Sparkling Ale ain't half bad. Our young curmudgeon, MtD might not agree, but he likes Leo, and he is Brit. Now we all know them Brits like drinking Warm, Flat Piss. Give a 'em bit of hop and weight in their beers They just go girly, start fuckin' whining.
I like a beer with some weight to it. Dunno if “weight” is all that accurate, works for me. This is a beer I enjoy watching those last, few, brown dregs drain into the glass. Let it set a bit, warm up just a tad. Now this Coopers here, not the greatest beer of all time is still a nice change from anything else available in this country, don't hardly stand up to a good California Brew (guess same could be said about California Weed, eh?), But it is goddam good after 5 years of drinking... (fuck! can't think of another word!) shit.
I suffer from insomnia, one them fellers that “thinks too much.” I have found self medication works best for me. About 1:00 Am or thereabouts I'll head out for a couple bottles of chaang to ease my passing to unconsciousness. Without a handful of some bargirl or the company of interesting people I find choking down more'n a couple of any 7-11 beers. Never enough to knock me out. I just chug 'em down run for the sack, get up twenty minutes later.
I went to my favorite local western market, Rim Ping in Chiang-mai, they had a big new shipment of Coopers on the shelves. Mighty god-damned proud of they were too, raised the fuckin' price 30 Baht a fuckin bottle, they did. I had the cart half full before I noticed the price. 115 Baht for one fucking bottle of beer??? ARE THEY FUICKING NUTS???? Pissed me off. I am not an addict!
Next day, Saturday. Gotta entertain the ol' lady, She loves Carrefour (I think this market-base society needs a gathering point). I fuckin' hate 'shopping.' Nice particle board 'accessories' there babe, yep that wok made out of pounded beer cans oughta be a real neat.... Fuck me! I hate “shopping.'
The old lady gets to look at things, so do I. Fucked up as it is, I love this country! Wandering around the aisles, Getting my fill of eye candy, I stumbled into the beer section. They'll usually have a decent selection of imported stuff... A half a shelf of Coopers Sparkling Ale, at the old price.
I bought the fuckers out..
Good beer. Cooper's Sparkling Ale. I can drink this, it's like good beef stew or chili. It just tastes so fucking good. I'm on my fifth bottle. I've been drinking for about 90 minutes. I think I'll beat the sun to bed. Thing is, the beers so good I want to stay up and have few more.
