I’d rather drink from this bottle
Then lift those heavy weights.
I’d rather enjoy this nectar
Then lift metal circles of eight.
Some might call me lazy
Some might call me a ‘drunk’.
I don’t let their words faze me
Or even put me in a funk.
It’s really only a bottled Merlot
Vintage 2005, I suspect.
It tastes like a rats been bathing in it
Or perhaps possum, if I’m correct.
But seriously, I do enjoy this stuff
It makes me feel quite classy.
Even though I might get tipsy
Or fall upon my stripey…posterior.
So please, take your coaxing to another tiger
I’m not up to feel the ‘burn’.
Or at least put those damn things down.
And give someone else a turn.
Because I’m just going to sit here
And drink right from this bottle.
And when I get back to my loved one,
I’m going to screw him full throttle.

Okay, so originally when Ribassu came to me with this commission, saying ‘oh, just put Boz and me together somehow’; my first thought was; ‘make them lift weights together!’ Then I was like…naw, everybody does that, and as much as I love those pictures, I didn’t want to do something that easy. So I racked my brain, got a headache, then eventually got inspired by ‘well, I’m not really a big weight lifter, but I do like to drink!’. Nothing alcoholic actually, in fact I usually hate stuff like that, but I do enjoy a Merlot now and again (it’s make me feel so hip n’ classy.) So I eventually came up with this…twenty-million stripes and one seriously sore ass later, I have this to show!

 Ribaasu This ones for you big buddy, thanks for not only commissioning me but being a fantastic friend over the past few years as well, you really do rock!
