Being New Year’s Eve, the office let me go early today, so a co-worker and I decided to hit LCBO at The Atrium On Bay to fill up on the new year’s eve need. All I wanted was that fun Absolute Vodka bottle made out of mirrors… but no luck. My co-worker was luckier and found what he needed/wanted.

We line up and all of a sudden, the guy in front of us, reeking of alcohol and smoke, arms full of liquor bottles, turns and goes:

Drunk guy: I gotta say this… I’ve never been in a line up with so many gay people… Like you (to some skinny effeminate guy), and you (his equally effeminate friend), and you (to my co-worker)… and you (to me)
Skinny effeminate guy: Thanks! (with the attitude you know a drag queen would give)
Me: Don’t know about that, but I remember the last time I was in a line up with idiots… oh that’s today.
Drunk guy: I’m not an idiot, I’m just saying…
(silence for a bit)
Drunk guy: All I’m saying is it’s nice, see, I was married for 23 years, and obviously I’m not anymore, but my wife always said “go get wine”, she never came with me… but you guys, you come together, it’s nice, couples that do this together.
Me: Are you sure about that?
Drunk guy: huh?
Me: Maybe we’re just co-workers who like to drink?
Drunk guy: oh…
(silence for another bit)
Drunk guy (to the guy in front of him): Blarhg blahrfghh blarhgghth

And he went on about some other merry tale…

I’m glad this shitty year if finishing on this note… 2009 will be MUCH better… it is a year we’ll visit Disney World after all.

Happy New Year Everyone!
