Porch Drinking: A History and an Award!

This morning, I was greatly pleased to find that I had won the coveted "Porch Drinking Award"! this award is special not only because there is only one and I have it, but also because of the history behind the award.

My neighbor, Toni (the chicken killer, among other things) showed up on my porch about three years ago with a bottle in her hand. I don't remember what was going on, as problems seem to come and go with us all and are usually not worth remembering, but suffice it to say that the problems was large enough that it required alcohol units at 10 am.

I remember thinking that this was perhaps the most amazing concept I had ever been privy to conceive. I was now a grown up, screw eating ice cream for breakfast. I could have liquor for breakfast! Forgetting any possible links to alcoholism, we happily took shots until the blue goo liquor was gone and unknowingly started a yearly tradition that marks the start of summer.

Much like Fight Club there are rules to porch drinking:
1) Porch drinking must be done early enough in the day to be considered improper.
2)Porch drinking must include one blue drink to honor the first blue liquor we consumed on that fateful day.

With school being out, porch drinking is set of commence very soon and I was so happy to win this wonderful award. And not, without further ado, I give you...
