Bring The Pain And Pop The Champagne

Putting this one up for Tara, and for all of you who need a laugh. Although wait until you get home to watch, because it's definitely NSFW.

I shine like Morrisey/on Hennesey/on Christmas Eve

and

Holding my dick like a US Open trophy

From "The Condition of Art" by Joseph Conrad

"A work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line. And art itself may be defined as a single-minded attempt to render the highest kind of justice to the visible universe, by bringing to light the truth, manifold and one, underlying its every aspect. It is an attempt to find in its forms, in its colors, in its light, in its shadows, in the aspects of matter and in the facts of life, what of each is fundamental, what is enduring and essential--their one illuminating and convincing quality--the very truth of their existence...(I)t is, before all, to make you see."

(Taken from the epigraph of "The Soul Of A Chef: The Journey Toward Perfection" by Michael Ruhlman)
