FTA:'Smoking, drinking and partying - that's why I've stayed alive as long as I have. And I've got better with age.'

This is the best anti-drinking/drug/smoking/ pitch I've ever seen.

Whenever I hear "the Pogues" I think of Degrassi. I think that makes me a loser. (well, it's one of the one things that makes me one...but i'm ok with that)

AND... visits to the dentist, methinks.

He's always on my mind if it snows around Xmas, along with Kirsty McColl (R.I.P.), who sang the duet with him on Fairytale of New York.

That's okay.

I like my liver & its rather functional state.

Same here, I got the Pogues best of cd and that song is on there. The last few weeks I kept listening to that song over and over.

Oh yea, partying is also a human preservative.

The pun pretty much writes itself.

Just make sure you can afford expensive lawyers and rehab, and you'll be fine.

I'm surprised he's still alive. I'm sure he is, too.

December 25th is also his date of birth.
And on that day, the 3 wise men bestowed upon the baby Shane a bottle of Guinness, a bag of coke and a packet of cigarettes.

Or he will be if he ever sobers up enough to realize it.

/luvs me some Pogues

What's next? Will he advise reggae stars to get high?

Ditto. I've grown awfully fond of my teeth as well.

/Love The Pogues

Since when did he lose an eye?

 
swahnhennessy 2007-12-25 06:38:37 AM  
Well, he's right. Better to have lived a real life, no matter how rough or what it does to you, than to spend all your time in front of a glowing screen posting snarky comments to equally retarded and unloved miscreants.

fark it, I'm going outside. I used to be cool and drunk. Now I'm just drunk.

Way ahead of you, Shane.

/1 part Absolut Citron + 4 parts Red Bull = deadly
//Christmas alkie slashies!

he sure has been in the news for nothing a lot. I wonder what his PR firm has in mind...world tour?
hmmmm

 
Captain Harbatkin 2007-12-25 09:22:43 PM  
I owe him a drink or 5. I bet on a horse called Bottle of Smoke.

/my horse won

I farkin' love the pogues.

You should do yourselves a favor and listen to Christie Moore's version of "Fairytale of New York." It's on his "Live at the Point" album. He tells a great story about drinking and carrying-on with Shane.
