I picture you as a lawyer in some second-tier market, gradually settling into the soft alchoholism of middle age, who has worn out his once-mildly-amusing absurdist/hipster doofus internet schtick and now can do nothing more than take feeble and pitifully unfunny potshots at other, more engaging and entertaining posters, without whose contributions he would have nothing whatsoever to use as raw material for his parasitic and vicious attacks. Close?

"Ping! Pow!

Why don't we hook up in the Beer Garden of Queens that day in Rocktober? My Interent boyfriend Sebby will be my date. You can bring Flower.

Well, unless my internet boyfriend or girlfriend is available (or unless it's my turn with coltrane), I won't be able to go. I can't be the only one without a date!

I'm confused with the ongoing references to soft alcoholism of middle age, when clearly the Sebby turn of phrase that started the references is the haze of alcohol soft middle age. I always though that the soft reference applied to middle age, not alcohol. No? Or is this just another ripe example of board bastardization of clever ideas? No offence.

When I think of PLF and Rush, I think of this:

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

waaaahh!!! Those poor maples.

I always think of the lesser known tune from Caress of Steel "I think I'm going Bald"

Rampant bastardization. Paigow should be along shortly to clarify that she invented this particular formulation, which I think may be correct.

I think your internet bf is too much of a puss to get on an airplane. Where is he, anyawy?

You could always go with Snidely Condescending. I always wanted to meet him.

Not "By-Tor and the Snow Dog"? That's what I play in my office to get me in the mood when I type Flower posts.

Has to be 26 or less.

Communication is the problem to the answer. Agree to disagree but disagree to part.

Aren't they the "I'm Not In Love" people? And, I think, that "Cry" song where they morphed the crying faces into the other crying faces in the video. Or just showed a bunch of people crying.

Ah-oh-ah-oh-ah-oh just becaaaauuuuse

I like the happy "walking in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go and you're feeling like a part of you is dying" song better than either of the two songs cited above, and never knew it was the same people.

I am pretty solidly certain that its Soft Alcoholism of Middle Age. I once reused that phrase in an ode to Ollie who I incorrectly thought had invented it and PMed him to give him much belated props for the gem, He then informed me he was mainly sure that he was mostly correct it was a Sebby. I think everyone mainly agrees the soft alcholism refers to the two to four cocktails a night we consume every night as aging attorneys, as opposed to the raging drunks who get to the bar at 11am everyday.

I love Baker Street. Love it. Reminds me of riding in the back of my old man's 2002tii (I'm that old) when I was a kid, thinking "Its really going to suck when I have to work someday like the shmuck driving here."
