So -- what, you're a libertarian now?

I don't know about you, but I'm ditching my Val-U-Rite Vodka stock tomorrow when the market opens.

Not Henry"Val-U-Rite Vodka" Earl!
NOOOOOOOoooooooo....!

Hey Ace, with Henry on "hiatus" maybe you can pick up his Val-U-Rite spokesman gig.

What's up with Allah getting so many first posts here lately? Conspiracy theorists want to know....

Shhhhhh.

man, that's actually a good shot of ol' henry.

Not nearly as bleary-eyed and staggering looking as usual

FREE HENRY!

That guy, while a train-wreck of a human being, certainly is entertaining. ;)

You know who Henry reminds me of? Maybe it's his soulful eyes -- but he reminds me of:

JEEEEEEEEEEEEF GAAAAANOOOOOOOOOOON!!!

Ace, you know what picture you should post?

classic Henry

hah... but I've come to like Happy Earl. It makes me all warm inside.

Like rotgut gin does.

Excuse me, I need a drink.

Dang, got come round here for all the freshest schtuff!

Hey ace, there's this crazy cat named Mahir, and he's got a website where he says, get this, "I Kiss You!!!"

It's Hi-Larious!

What Lincoln would have said about this man, if Henry Earl were American Slavery and the cops in Lexington were the Confederacy. And we had gone to Civil War over Henry Earl's persecution. And we lost over 400,000 men over one guy. Lot of ifs, but fuck, who give a shit.

Fellow citicens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trail through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We say we are for Henry Earl's right to get shitfaced. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save Henry Earl's right to get shitfaced. The world knows we do know how to save his right to get shitfaced. We--even we here--hold the power, and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to Henry Earl's shitfacism, we assure freedom to all's right to get shitfaced--honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just--a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God mst forever bless.

And of course, Lincoln would have misspelled "citizens" and "must" because he would have written that brilliant piece of oratory whilst shitfaced.

Hey loki, sure it's a bit dated, but it's not star wars kid old.

Never saw the calendar though

KC,

are you tanked?

lol

that's pretty funny, dude.

Hob:

Let's just say that's about how far of a stretch I will make after being in Seattle for 2 days and had about 3 hours sleep per night. And this is the first fucking moment of me-time I've had.

Tanked? I wish. Over-worked? Fuck yes.

How have I gone for so long without even hearing about this guy? I'm so totally out of the loop I might as well start hosting my own blog.

And hobgoblin, your picture probably does a better job of capturing the inner Henry Earl. The picture Ace put up looks way too genial and well integrated. I don't see more than a couple of hundred arrests in Ace's guy. Three hundred, tops.

You can't really call anyone out for missing the Henry Earl story over the last few years. I mean, sure, at any point since 1992 one could have begun posting about Henry Earl, but his saga continues to this day. In a sense, his story is both old and new at the very same time. A timeless tale of dedication, perseverance, and 900+ misdemeanor charges.

And right now, Henry Earl's riding the lightning in the drunk tank, and all we're doing is surfing the internet. We could be writing our congressmen, calling the press, or pouring a drink.

Mmmm. . . drink. . .

Gotta go.

Dave begins to remind me of that dorky kid on South Park, a kid so dorky he fucking pals up to BUTTERS, who never says anything but "Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it!"

Seriously, dude. While you and your geek friends are trading links about the Star Wars kid, I'm doing important shit.

I'm downloading porn.

And this is the first fucking moment of me-time I've had.

First moment of me-time?

In a hotel room?

Soon to go to sleep?

With a veritable plethora of, err, entertainment options available through your hotel's fine cable system?

And you're... here.

I gotta give it to you-- you are a dedicated reader, KC.

has anyone heard the Henry Earl theme song?

Allah says:

So -- what, you're a libertarian now?

Yeah, right. I don't see any Nanotech updates.

washh a theeet fuckeeeen nosee? Fuck you bish, I fuckeeen sheenk yoos wish my penseel bish!

Seriously, utron, check out the calendar.

There are a dozen "dis-integrated" pics oof quality there.

I've seen the Henry Earl pics at random on the fark threads, but never such a glorious collection.

He is truly an inspiration to us all.

And you're in Seattle, KC? My neck of the woods. Hope you're enjoying the lovely PacNW April weather. = )

Have a tequila on me.

The calendar's pretty impressive, hobgoblin. Be interesting to see if those pictures could be arranged to convey more of a story arc. Right now it looks as if Henry's achieved his own kind of stability. If "stability" is the word I want.

I'll definitely be keeping track of this guy, though. Comparing my own life to Henry Earl's makes me feel like I'm strapped to a Sidewinder missile with its sensors locked on Success. And that's a good feeling.

Hob:

Yes, the weather has been splendid. A steady chill of 50 during the day and 40 at night. And lots of rain interspersed throughout the day. No thunder, just fucking rain.

Actually, it's really a terrific city. Downtown was a blast last night.

But in Tukwila where I'm hanging? This could be strip-mall Florida. Without the heat.

Thunder up here is rarer than snow in Florida.

I've heard it 3 times in 8 years.

One thing I miss about the Tampa/St. Pete area: the lightning storms.

Anyway, Seattle is fun, although kinda gritty.

Try the strip bars if you can. If they're anything like here in Portland, the women are astoundingly hot. Like Mons Venus.

Moonnnnsss Veeenussss, aagggghhh.

Yes, Joe Redner is truly a man of genious. A giver of beauty and filth. Really makes my home town have that special reputation it's been searching for.

Actually, the mayor ought to give the fucker an award for having built the town into the capital of filth. Tampa can give any town a serious run for it's money.

Been in the Emerald city 3 years myself, heard it maybe once. Heard it a lot more in the desert now that I think about it. Weird..

Ray,

yeah, it's one of those things you don't know you're not hearing.

jeez, it's NW night tonight.

I really need to stop procrastinating.

Before I go, let me tell you guys that the Or Supreme Court is going to issue its gay marriage decision tomorrow at 9am on the court's website.

Should be an interesting day tomorrow.

November 30, 2004 looked like a DAMN good night...

Wish I coulda been there.

He looks like a black Billy Joel.

Wow - he's like the black Otis Campbell.
