Oh, my, this is getting funny! Bee-dub-whatever-it-may-be, you have NO idea what you are talking about. None whatsoever. But your vapid, uninformed ramblings are amusing to read. I do not have a younger sister. I do not have a sister, period. I think the person you may be alluding to is my niece, Veronica Rutledge. As for Winston, he is anything but a failure, except in terms of character. He has succeeded quite well in most people's terms, grows richer all the time, and is not what I would describe as "a drunk". This would imply that he is out of control of his life, which is hardly the case. He drinks, yes, but he is not a drunk. Drunks stagger about, slur their words, and wander into the kitchen at 3 AM dressed in nothing but a dilapidated bathrobe. This sorry picture in no way resembles Winston, I can assure you. He is always well dressed and well groomed, always articulate, dangerously handsome in a cold sort of way, and almost always insufferable, but definitely in command of all his faculties. He buys tasteless items like the elephant stool and the almost naked Mata Hari portrait just to annoy me. The only thing that could possibly persuade me to move to Arkansas, let alone to some godforsaken North American trailer park, would be if the rest of the world become completely uninhabitable due to killing levels of radiation...and then I'd still hesitate. There ARE worse things than death.

p.s. Rapparee, are you trying to impress me again? Try harder.
