Depressingly, for the first night since wednesday, I'm not drinking anything.
What are you drinking? Page 28
You'll dehydrate. Get some water, boy-o!
Dehydration sucks.
Guinness. Just got back to the girlfriend's place after visiting an old girlfriend for a couple of days and the rest of my Cooper's Sparkling Ale has gone missing. 
The first part of your second sentence, explains the second part.
It's like Ms Marple and the case of the jealous girlfriend and the missing beer.

A cryptic e-mail from last night explains it all:
"Maybe Bud Light isn't the only beer I like."
P.S. I kept my hands and other appendages to myself while visiting the old girlfriend. Now to convince current girlfriend ...
Sootyj's lucky comedy beer.

I had a few bottles of it 2 nights ago.
My holiday so far ...
After 6 days of vacation I've:
Driven 1200 miles to see various friends, family members and a Coldplay concert.
Fixed or otherwise connected properly:
5 televisions
5 DVD players
4 PCs (2 complete rebuilds/re-installs of XP)
2 wireless networks
Purchased $300 of desperately needed tech gear for the aforementioned people.
Paid for $200 in meals and entertainment for girlfriends old & new.
Given away $150 in gift cards to a needy friend.
My vacations are expensive and exhausting. In 12 hours I'll be flying to Philadelphia for business purposes. All I want to do is go home. 
You're the Robin Hood of home entertainment.
Why don't you offer to install a wifi network for that nice Mr Obama in his new house?
Fransiskaner is great isn't it? If I drink it at a comedy event, things usually go well.

Somebody needs to learn how to say "no".

I'm a bit obsessive/compulsive when it comes to improperly configured media equipment. I can't stand to be in the same room with an improperly adjusted television or computer. I lose my mind when I see a 50-inch LCD TV picture all stretched and zoomed.
My folks were convinced that their cable company weren't broadcasting 5.1 sound because they never got a signal from their surround receiver, so they'd been using the television's built-in speakers. Once I removed the little rubber condoms from the prongs of the optical cables everything worked great.

Me too! USE THE CORRECT GODDAMN RATIO!!!
Having a 9 a.m. Guinness at the airport bar. On the company, of course.
Just had a nice steak at a wannabe Texas steakhouse here on the outskirts of Filthydelphia. Had some sort of Samuel Adams winter ale and now I want more beer, but Pennsylvania is one of those states where you can only buy it at special stores and I think they're closed. But one of my co-workers has kindly volunteered to take me out to a bar or two as soon as he's off work, so it'll all work out ok.
