Ever since the amputation of my legs, I've been unable to hold my liquor. Oh, it makes perfect sense, of course. I've lost 90 pounds of 'ballast' from my circulatory system, leaving me with the body weight of a 12 year old girl. Still, it's hard to get used to, and it was completely unanticipated. I mean, it's a change of great practical importance, but none of the myriad doctors, nurses or physical therapists ever touched on it. The wheelchair and handicapped loo I can get used to, but getting drunk off a beer and a half is, well, an indignity.

11/1/2004 Streifenbeuteldachs (3): Yeah, should have been taken further. This one was a little too 'short'.
11/1/2004 Litcube (3): Yippers.
11/1/2004 Will Disney (3): 3.5 stars b/c i dunno why
11/1/2004 anonymous: 3.5 rounded down? This is truncation maths, is it?
11/1/2004 Litcube: To round down is what is lovingly referred to as a "Pixism".
11/1/2004 Mr. Pony: Will always rounds X.5 to X. It's not because he doesn't know any better; it's because of his black, black heart.
