Poe is 200 and you don't know him: http://www.thesmartset.com/article/article01060902.aspx. I listened to an interview the other day of a guy who wrote a bio on Poe. He asserted that Poe wasn't an alcoholic in the classical sense but rather a severe binge drinker. Maybe that explains that when he was found stone cold dead in the streets, he was wearing someone else's clothes. Maybe. Sort of reminds one of the infamous night many years ago when the alcohol devils attacked Shellback, convincing him that someone had somehow nefariously moved his dresser mirror in front of his bedroom door and, that he also urgently needed to vomit. Taking their instruction, he then actually moved the lovely piece of University Rentals furniture-- In. Front. Of. The. Door.
Cleanup was difficult.

Apparently the alcohol devils are frequent visitors to Shellback, and I remember their visit to him equally well. Let's just say that no mirrors were involved, but urgent need to evacuate the contents of his stomach were. Unfortunately, he took a wrong turn and mistook my bed and its innocent, sleeping occupant for a ancient Roman vomitorium.
As you said, cleanup of my room/self/bed was difficult. Cleaning of my memories has proved impossible.
