Tip your glass to the Oilers

It was a fantastic run. A valiant effort. Though they came up just short last night, there were some great memories/moments created throughout this year's playoff run by the Edmonton Oilers. And as a result, the energy in this city was electric. For this, I propose a toast to the 2005-2006 version of the Oilers. So raise your glass high, but what shall you recite? Here are some suggestions. Some old, some new. Some well known, some not so much:

Starkle, Starkle little twink,
What the hell you are I think,
I'm not as thunk as drink people bet,
It's just the drunker I stand the longer I get.
.................
Let us have wine and women
Mirth and laughter
Sermons and soda-water
The day after. —Lord Byron
....................
Here’s hoping you live forever
And mine is the last voice you hear.—Willard Scott
....................
Fill the glass
Pour me some
Drinking makes happy
What sobriety makes glum.
...................
When you’re bleeding in the sand
Don’t let your courage fade
When life deals you a bad hand
Throw hand grenades. —Pre D-Day Toast
...................
Let us drink with impunity
Or anyone else who’s buying. —W.C. Fields
...................
Here's to being single, seeing double, and sleeping triple
...................
Another day down the mines of our lives.
A day without seeing the sun.
We drink 'til we stink
and smoke 'til we choke
because that's how we get things done.
..................
Here's to friends we may never meet
and to love we may never know
Here's to bridges we'll never build
and to seeds we'll never sow
Here's to places we'll never see
and to the things we'll never do
Here's to faith found to be misplaced
and to beliefs proven untrue
Here's to dreams left unfulfilled
and to opportunities we may miss
Here's to the times of sorrow
so that we may enjoy the times of bliss
Here's to every woman my lips shall touch
and to every man who proves a loyal friend
Here's to every life that we may save
and to every life that we may end
Here's to living fast and living hard
and to living without regret
Here's to experience long forgotten
and to those we could never forget
Here's to the good timest
hough they never seem to last
So let's make tonight worth remembering
because come tomorrow, tonight will be the past.
