Spirit of the West – Home For A Rest.

“Harold I was thinking!’ Dr. Wetbrain, suddenly spouted out his great idea. We all had a time in life where we were seriously drunk for a good straight week or two. Then it comes to a point when being drunk gets boring, curing your hangover every morning with a case of beer or two is not fun anymore. It is time to crawl home for a rest. Home to loving, meals, movies, and a real bed.

Harold nodded in agreement. “Few times!” He noted.

Well warm up your truck Harold. We are going to the Central Hotel to see a great band called ‘Spirit of The West”. They have an awesome song all about those good old days.

Listening to the band playing the song ‘Home for A Rest’ with friends was a great night along with the drinking, dancing and laughs. A year later sad news came over the radio. John Mann, the frontrunner for Spirit of The West died at the age of 57.

Due to complications with Alzheimer’s on November 20, 2019, John Mann died with eight of his close friends and family beside his bedside to say goodbye. Guinness beer was his favorite drink. They opened a bottle of Guinness, Hattie his daughter, dabbed some of the beer onto her father’s lips the rest of the bottle was sipped by the family and friends. John was gone shortly after. What a beautiful ending.

Dr. Wetbrain concluded by mentioning how he loves that fast beat Celtic music. You can’t help but to dance to it.

Drunk Wild Animals.

One day while sitting in Harold’s porch his dog Tequila walked by. Seeing the dog Harold recalled a moment, then glanced at Dr. Wetbrain and spoke.

“I was drinking with this hillbilly on his farm one day and he had a huge mangy dog. This dog has his own beer bowl! This hillbilly would pour two cans of beer into this bowl and the dog would sloppily lap up most of the beer, looked at us then staggered away. Weird!”

The Doctor sat up, put down his beer and said, “That’s not weird! All sorts of wild animals like to get drunk also. Let me tell you about some of these drunk wild animals.

In Madden, Alberta there are the Bohemian Waxwing birds who in the fall consume as much fermented Mountain Ash berries as possible before the winter weather comes in and the berries are gone. These drunk birds were stumbling around and flying into things like windows and power poles. So, in Madden the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Center collects these drunk, passed out birds, then they are put into a hamster cage till they sober up. Then these waxwing birds are released the next day into the wild. A bird drunk tank.

In Sweden, Per Johansson found a female moose stuck and kicking around in his apple tree. Now that I think of it, I have had a few dates that did the same thing. The assumption is that this poor moose was likely drunk from the fermented apples lying all over the ground.

Seemingly drunk Swedish moose found stuck in tree – Twin Cities

Be careful on the beach with your drinks on the Caribbean Island of St. Kitts for the Vervet monkeys will steal them. These little monkeys will sneak up to you and when you are not watching will snatch your drink. Then, they run away and when it is safe will happily guzzle your Strawberry Daiquiri down. Studies have shown that most of these, booze stealing Vervet monkeys drink in moderation, but around 12% of them are heavy drinkers. Nothing worse then, a drunken monkey.

Giggling Dr. Wetbrain looks at Harold and blurted out, “You know Harold when you drink whiskey you also become a drunk wild animal.
