It's equally typical of Casey that he says exactly the right thing at the right time in this story; the man can be counted on to miss 99% of emotional cues, but the other 1% of the time he hits them so perfectly you sort of forget about his failures.

Oh, I love that description of Casey. It's so true.

I was also going to point out the Booze Fuh-Q Fest (http://boozefest.netfirms.com/), where every entry had to be drunkfic, but that site seems to be overloaded today. (Mind you, I haven't checked it in a long, long time.)
