Drink! It makes everyone around funnier, more intelligent and better looking.

"what is the molten liquor?
what gets you drunker quicker?
what comes in bottles or in cans?
Its BEER!
I could kiss and hug it
BEER
But I'd rather chug it
BEER
Makes me think Im a man!"
- The beer song, weird Al
I used to listen to this in Tony's Tavern in Roundup Montana. I always loved it. Don't make me bust out Beer Barrel Polka. I know that one too.

Tom T. Hall:

I like beer It makes me a jolly good fellow

I like beer It helps me unwind and sometime it makes me feel mellow


(makes him feel mellow)

Whiskeys too rough

Champaign cost too much

vodka puts my mouth in gear

This little refrain should help me explain
as a matter of fact I like beer

My wife often frowns when we're out on the town

I'm wearing a suit and a tie

She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth

When I yell when the waiter walks by

(Chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene

and I went to a place so sublime

the water was clear and it tasted like beer

then they turned it all into wine (ahhhh)


(Chorus)

(Yes he likes beer)

What the hell, does this only happen in America? I constantly see [b]one guddammit shoe lying beside the side of the interstate highways when driving most any where. One shoe!

Like some dude is driving down the road, looks down at his feet and says to himself "What was I thinking?! I'm not gonna need that damn thing". Kicks the shoe off, reaches down, picks it up and flings it our the window.

Huh? Go get your f'ng shoe...[/b]
IN Salford, England. I started noticing pairs of shoes strung together by the laces and slung over telegraph wires. I was confused as to what it was about. Then I saw a drama on tele about some kid getting beat up. His trainers were taken off him by the bullies, tied together and thrown, tantalisingly over the telegraph wire, just out of reach.

Maybe 'shoe on the highway' is an American equivalent of this?
