I'm so proud of myself!

I just wrote an alliterative tirade in the style of Wulfstan, bemoaning the social evils of drunkenness in Australia.

Witness:

Hooligans and hoons, racists and rioters, misogynists and misanthropes, criminals and crooks, lushes and lechers, and those who, all too often, embarrass the establishment, with drunkenness, which they should defend.

I wouldn't have anyone in mind for the last clause... no, not at all... *cough*

Is that about me? :(

Who is it aimed at?

Awesome alliteration, mind. :D

hum... what ought-to-be-respectable figure do I most complain about?

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

Oh... right. Her. Duh.

only if you THINK it is. ;)

Well, I am quite embarrassed by my actions on Friday night, mainly because I don't remember most of them. However, I also think I may not really have been in control past a particular point due to unintended chemical intake. Therefore, I am embarrassed but don't know that I am really at fault.

So I think it COULD be about me, but I don't think it necessarily IS about me. And looking at your reply to the goblin, I am pretty sure it isn't. :)

Still...

As an alliterative tirade, it contains a moral for everyone.
However, you were not the person I had specifically in mind for the final clause (you may count as a lush or a lecher though...) After all, you're not supposed to be the advocate of any particular establishment, are you?

Talking to B tonight, it all makes sense. And you are right - morals for everyone. I was just thinking about potential usages of poetic licence, and you must admit it was rather a well timed post.

But, in defense of my honour, I am no lush nor lecher - I don't drink enough to be a drunkard, and I am too restrained (even you-know-when) to be a slut.

I hereby retract my initial question. :)
