Take Pity and Buy the Bear a Drink

I'm throwing myself at the mercy of my readership. It's been ages since I've had a drink and, here in the frozen north, the prospects of getting some alcohol soon are somewhere between "no fucking way" and "zero degrees Kelvin". "When Hell freezes over" has already been reached and surpassed long ago.

So I am furnishing on the sidebar an easy way for you to provide me with some relief from my present condition. Simply choose an option below, and submit away. Multiple drinks are graciously accepted. I know the barman, so don't worry about the tip.

C'mon - get Nanuk loaded. I promise I won't drone on and on about my gout, nor will I try to slip my paw up your thigh.
