CHUNK OF ADULT LIFE TAKEN
The Age’s Traceeee Hutchison:
Call me a slow learner if you like ...
You’re a slow learner!
... but it’s taken a huge chunk of my adult life to work out that alcohol doesn’t really agree with me.
Neither does sobriety, judging by this:
In the space of minutes I can move from being just a little bit over-excited to desperately in need of a place to lie down immediately — preferably with the juice of half a lemon and hot water to cleanse to demon drink from my system.
Hey, a special appearance by a distinguished Australian at Wuzzadem!
I read Traceeeeeeee’s article and essentially what she is admitting is that after a couple of drinks she will roll over backwards with her legs in the air.

What sort of ‘friends’ cut you out of a relationship because you don’t drink? Jeez, Trace, if you are still worrying about what the ‘cool kids’ are thinking at your age then alcohol is the least of your problems.

That’s true of a lot of people. I can respect that. What I find harder to respect is that she doesn’t stay the hell away from it, and instead resorts to bullshit remedies like “the juice of half a lemon and hot water.”/sober since 1 Feb 2007
Well I haven’t had a drink in 25 years. Not that I have anything against drinking or was called by some higher moral calling or such. It’s just that I am a cheap bastard and I figured that I could use the money spent drinking to continue working on the development of the deathray machine in my basement.
I’m patient, work continues…..

I’d be throwing up my immortal soul. Yech.
Sober since ah, let’s see, last September at the beach.

So enlightened, so educated, so full of compassion one moment…and a screaming, drippy-mascara’d mess, slumped and sobbing in the corner the next (and that’s just the males). And anyway, I feel sorry for people who don’t drink: when they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.
I was surprised to learn that Traceee has an adult life. Hitherto I was under the impression she was a teenager.
Posted by walterplinge on 2007 02 02 at 05:26 PM • permalinkIt’s catching!
This morning one reporter on ABC news from the USA said something about the Iraq situation including words to the effect of “unless something isn’t done”, reversing the intended meaning. He was probably sober, although possibly also bipolar. Even I knew that the correct form of words is “unless nuffink aint done”.What a crybaby. Her problem is that she is putting the lemon in the wrong orifice.

Here’s a picture of her to cure your curiosity.
Just turn up on her doorstep with a couple of shooters of tequila and “In the space of minutes I[Traceee] can move from being just a little bit over-excited to desperately in need of a place to lie down immediately”Posted by Hank Reardon on 2007 02 02 at 07:15 PM • permalink#8 good point.
it’s people who go vego that give me the shits. you know, the tits who come over for the usual monstrous roast dinner with 2 legs of lamb & a couple of barrow loads of matching veggies with home made gravy (i spit on your gravox) &, instead of just eating the veg, make a big deal of saying i don’t eat meat any more , like they were new-minted saints or somefink rather than attention seeking tossers. those you have to cut out of your life immediatement

It does see to be a unusually common personality defect among the young lefties. Part of growing up, I think. Now Traceeeeee is sober, she might also realise that all her favourite left-wing causes that sounded so plausible when she was smashed are now so embarrassingly inane. That’s part of growing up, too, Traceeeeee.
I don’t understand why she writes this pathetic and embarrassing drivel about her personal weaknesses. Who comes up with the idea? The editor or her? If it’s the editor, then he is a very cruel man. (“let’s see how we can make Traccee look even more foolish this week. Can we top last week’s effort? By golly we probably can!”)
Someone really needs to show Traccee the aisle in the supermarkets that sell soft drinks and explain to her what a Lemon Lime & bitters is.
I went to work sober once. Not a mistake I’ll make twice.
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 02 02 at 09:03 PM • permalinkOh, that explains the dumb-ass columns she’s written. She was drunk. Okay.
Posted by David Crawford on 2007 02 02 at 09:23 PM • permalinkFor gawd sakes. If you can’t handle your piss, step aside and give those of us who can more room at the bar.
If only they gave government grants for being a piss artist. I’d be rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
On a brighter note, thanks to this blog I’ve found out about 2 women who’ll drop their pants for one sip of sweet liquor. On a sour note they turn out to be Marieke Hardy and Tracee Hutchison. Still, you gotta slay a lot of dragons to get to the princess.

“Still, you gotta slay a lot of dragons to get to the princess.”
Dont tell wronwright, hes been under the impression the saying was “you have to slay a lot of dragons with a zulu spear”. Sort of one of Karls character building exercises I think.
Or it may be cruelty, hes never that big on expalanations.Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2007 02 02 at 10:47 PM • permalinkI thought lefties were supposed to be altruistic types whose constant concern was for those “marginalized” by society, the “losers of life’s lottery”, persons of color, the poor and the defenseless (well, except for the most defenseless of course). Turns out they are a pathetic bunch of mean little narcissistic whiners who live in the biggest houses in town and who are consumed by their own self importance and couldn’t give a crap about the poor except as a salve for their own guilt.
Give me the old bull lefties who could swill vodka all night and still bump off a couple hundred reactionaries before breakfast.Posted by Vanguard of the Commentariat on 2007 02 02 at 10:52 PM • permalinkGet a look at this rouges gallery.

This just shows how much she drinks. She can’t fucken think properly at all.

Re: the list of Chavez petitioners
While Kevin Rudd tries to woo big business, so many of his own party remain as deeply attached to good old fashioned Marxists as they did in the 1950s. Is this an indication that behind the reassurances, Labor is planning to nationalise industry?
Also this:Phillip Adams (broadcaster and Republican of the Year 2006)
Understand the broad part but when did he join the Republican Party? Does Bush know?

I think “Republican of the Year” in this case means that Phat Fill hated the queen more in 2006 than anyone else.

Just quietly I’m with you on that one but Ric Locke up at #35 thinks otherwise.
I’m struggling with what advise to give him.

It would take a lot more than half a fucking lemon and hot water to rid my body of the demon drink Karl Rove made me sip when I went through the three Masonic rituals to becoming a henchman. It still burns in my veins.
But, um, yeah, it’s worth it.
