Back in Rome, according to tradition, the Gauls attempted to infiltrate the Capitol by climbing the hill near the Temple of Carmentis, a goddess of birth. The Gauls gained the summit, eluded the Roman guards and did not even wake the dogs. They could not sneak by the temple of Juno, however, as the honking of her sacred geese finally alerted the guards. Led by Marcus Manilus, the guards confronted the Gauls. Manilus faced two of the enemy, hewing through the wrist of one of them. Manilus smashed his shield into the face of the other Gaul, who toppled over the wall and down the cliff. The remainder of the Gauls on the parapet was likewise dealt with, while those still climbing were dislodged with javelins and stones.

After seven months of blockade both the defenders of the Capitol and the Gauls were reduced to famine. The Gauls also suffered from malaria which killed them in such numbers that they gathered their dead into piles and burnt them. Nevertheless, the Romans on the Capitol finally surrendered and agreed to pay 1000 pounds of gold for the peaceful withdrawal of the Gauls. When the gold was weighed, the Gauls produced heavier, false counter-weights. The Romans complained, whereupon Chief Brennus replied “woe to the vanquished” and threw his own sword on the scales

Mondays suck, but I limit week days to 90 proof or less with a 4 drink minimum, beers don’t count. Snow days all bets are off, so I poured WT 101 tonight. Drink a big glass of water before you crash. 1000mg of Ibuprofen and a pot of coffee will fix things in the morning.

I can’t believe you didn’t even acknowledge your two Beaver Award wins.

No coffee for me. That's the devils brew. Straight to the garage for plumbing insulation and drywall detail. Or maybe go shoot the 340, 7STW x 2, and 7-08. Been up since 4am wired for sound.
Well I made it through the night without getting lost in the airport. I'm even pretty close to where I started. Flight is *supposed* to leave in 45 min.

Got so drunk on shine one time , I was setting on the couch feeling the need to dump , held to the walls , made it to bathroom , set down , suddenly got sick , jumped up to puke in the commode forgetting why I was in there and ended up puking in the commode and shiiting in the trash can and on the wall . Wondered were everybody was next morning till I set up and looked around . Dog house big time , and one miserable clean up , was a year before I could even stand to smell shine .
Then there was the time I was shacked up with this gal at a trailer park , came rolling in , she at the time was walking through the hallway , found out shortly . After hitting the trailer tongue and knocking the trailer off the blocks , breaking the water line and sewer line . Dog house again , and drove five miles to my uncle’s to get a couple jacks and jack it back up and onto the blocks , then go get the shiit to fix the water and sewer , how the hell I managed all that I don’t know .
But it was a long night .
Could have been the irate little gal that got her feet knocked out from under her as she was walking through the hallway , LMAO , hot dam she was jumping mad !
