Beware people over 21, posting pictures of ones-self drinking from a cup, wearing a pirate hat on myspace, and titling it "drunken pirate" is grounds for being refused a teaching degree because it encourages the kiddies to engage in underage drinking.

While I really don't encourage posting pics that can come back to haunt you, and leaving a picture where a potential employer can find it is unprofessional --it doesn't promote underaged drinking. After all, after 9pm there are lots of ads telling me that drinking captain morgan will make me daring and witty, or if I drink corona I will be transported to a relaxing and peaceful place. And gosh darn it, most kids will never ever ever see their parents imbibing the foul filth that is alcohol!!!!

Well, it may make the kiddies think that they should go engage in underage drinking, but only in a world where showing you my ankles will cause you to lust after me.

Watch out clydesdale horses, ferrets, frogs, and people who say "whatzup" they're coming for you next you purveyors of budwiser.

what shall we do with a drunken sailor,
what shall we do with a drunken sailor,
what shall we do with a drunken sailor,
early in the morning?
