Why do we do this???

**barrk** · May 21st, 2001, 11:50 AM

I spent most of the weekend going to parties after watching my daughter perform in a play in Los Angeles for the first time....big stuff...she even had lines!!!!!!!!

Anyway....now I'm sitting here feeling pickled and tired and even a little queasy....why do we do this to ourselves?

**parksie** · May 21st, 2001, 11:51 AM

I think the object is to earn money

Not sure though...I do it for fun

**barrk** · May 21st, 2001, 11:53 AM

I was thinking more of why do we spend all weekend pickling ourselves when we know that we will have to get up Monday and try to "earn" our money when it hurts to move our eyeballs?

**parksie** · May 21st, 2001, 11:55 AM

Because we're all masochists

Although I normally do my messing around on saturday so I can sleep all sunday...once I spent all weekend drinking and when we got to school we were still pissed and felt really bad...never done it since!

**barrk** · May 21st, 2001, 11:58 AM

I was feeling pretty happy and not too bad this morning when I first got up but I guess I'm fully awake now.....damn it!

You better believe it. Scatman John ruled

Woo hoo the forums are back up!

Join my party!!

**HarryW** · May 21st, 2001, 02:17 PM

When I was at college, one time (at band camp... err or not) when a load of us had gone off to the park to hang out for a couple of hours between classes (it was mid summer) one guy, who was kind of a gimp if you know what I mean, decided he was going to go and buy an 8-pack of Strongbow. So he went off to the shop, came back and gave a couple of cans away, then proceeded to drink all 6 remaining cans of cider in the space of around an hour and a half. It was sunny, so the cans were warm too.

Most of us had to go back for classes, including me. I went back and was sitting in class, and after about 10 minutes this guy came in late. My mate next to me (it was Jamagei actually) said "Rob, why are you green?" (Rob was the cider drinker guy) but Rob didn't seem to take much notice. He went and sat down looking a little ill, and after about another 5 minutes, while sitting with his face in his arms, which were folded on the table, projectile vomited into his arms, with spew streaming out to his sides where his arms were directing the flow. It was a sight to behold. He had puke in both eyebrows. It was everywhere.

It was also very, very funny

The moral of the story: people are the best source of comedy there is. There's probably a better moral, but that's the only one I take any notice of

**parksie** · May 21st, 2001, 02:19 PM

Hehehe

**barrk** · May 21st, 2001, 02:19 PM

I see then, Harry. What you are saying is ....we do this to ourselves to provide comedy for others....how nice of us!

**parksie** · May 21st, 2001, 02:21 PM

We're so nice aren't we

**HarryW** · May 21st, 2001, 02:23 PM

That's not quite what I was saying.... I was thinking more like you do it to provide comedy for me

**barrk** · May 21st, 2001, 02:25 PM

Glad I could be of service

I doubt Tom would approve of you servicing people.......

**chrisjk** · May 21st, 2001, 02:27 PM

Luckily I only wanted a Big Mac and fries

**HarryW** · May 21st, 2001, 02:29 PM

I'm glad too

I'll make sure to let you know when I get horrendously drunk and do stupid things next. Well actually I probably won't remember them. Jamagei probably will though, since he has so much extra body mass to distribute the alcohol

so I'm sure he'll let you know if you ask nicely.

**barrk** · May 21st, 2001, 02:33 PM

I'm not sure he would after I submarined his Jamagei Club thread...you'll just have to do your own confessing.

**HarryW** · May 21st, 2001, 02:37 PM

Nahh, he's very resilient. Well padded, you might say... hehe

Ha ha that song was funny. Didn't have a clue what they going on about

**chrisjk** · May 21st, 2001, 02:59 PM

Finally, someone who knows Scatman!!

**HarryW** · May 21st, 2001, 03:12 PM

I don't think we'll ever forget Scatman John.... unfortunately. I am scarred for life.

They say the first step is to admit this.....I think I'll just have another drink instead.

**tumblingdown** · May 21st, 2001, 03:38 PM

prolly for the best ;-)

**barrk** · May 21st, 2001, 03:42 PM

I wouldn't want to deprive Harry of his entertainment, after all!

**HarryW** · May 21st, 2001, 03:44 PM

I appreciate the effort, but I'll find something to laugh at anyway, don't worry

scoutt · May 21st, 2001, 03:57 PM

could it be that we, as humans, don't learn from our mistakes? And it is always, "I won't drink as much as last time, it will just be 1 or 2 and then I'll stop" then those tasted so good it leads to more and more, then the next thing you know you are creating amusement for Harry

**HarryW** · May 21st, 2001, 04:14 PM

You're all so good to me. I love you guys.

Well only tea totalling religous sticky beak know it alls say this. Actually the first step is to recognise your limits, that is generally when the floor cushions your fall.

**tumblingdown** · May 21st, 2001, 04:38 PM

I love the floor. It treats me well.

**HarryW** · May 21st, 2001, 04:40 PM

It will never hit you, so long as you don't leave it.

**barrk** · May 21st, 2001, 04:43 PM

It's stopped my bed from spinning on more than one occaisson.

**tumblingdown** · May 21st, 2001, 04:49 PM

What like that film. The Exercisist.

**barrk** · May 21st, 2001, 04:51 PM

No...more like the tea cups in Disneyland.

LOL

I am not going to make a head comment here.

Also l generally note that the evening is winding down when l cannot drink beer anymore. Of course l then switch to scotch. But generally speaking ya talking the last few hours of the evening.

Oh, no i will quite happily humiliate Harry whenever possible.

And as for 'submaringing' my thread i think it was more like rowing a very small fishing boat into it really.

Yeah, I need it, else Harry might get a little bit too close if you know what i mean.

**HarryW** · May 22nd, 2001, 05:54 AM

A bit close to kicking that fat arse of yours you mean
