Apparently it's National CAPS LOCK day.
They come up with the weirdest shit. ;)
Anyway...to celebrate, here's a random snippet from a Stephen King book I rather enjoy, Insomnia.
ALTHOUGH THE BOOKS HE'D BEEN CONSULTING ALL SAID THAT BOOZE WAS A VASTLY OVERRATED CURE FOR SLEEPLESSNESS-THAT IT OFTEN MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE INSTEAD OF BETTER, IN FACT-RALPH HAD TRIED IT JUST THE SAME. HE HAD NEVER BEEN MUCH OF A DRINKER, SO HE BEGAN BY ADJUSTING McGOVERN'S RECOMMENDED HALF-SHOT DOSAGE DOWN TO A QUARTER OF A SHOT, BUT AFTER A WEEK OF NO RELIEF HE HAD UPPED THE ANTE TO A FULL SHOT...THEN TO TWO. HE WOKE UP ONE MORNING AT FOUR-TWENTY-TWO WITH A NASTY LITTLE HEADACHE TO ACCOMPANY THE DULL BROWN TASTE OF EARLY TIMES ON THE ROOF OF HIS MOUTH, AND REALIZED HE WAS SUFFERING HIS FIRST HANGOVER IN FIFTEEN YEARS.
"LIFE'S TOO SHORT FOR THIS SHIT," HE HAD ANNOUNCED TO HIS EMPTY APARTMENT, AND THAT HAD BEEN THE END OF THE GREAT WHISKEY EXPERIMENT.
