Turbovee - jungle juice?! Sounds ominous!!

Lordly Alchi - 190 proof? Ach! Bad idea no doubt! I remember as a teenager once drinking some horrrrriiiiddd conconction of 190 proof straight up alcohol and grape coolaid! I remember just taking a sip was like drinking acid! It actually sucked the air out of your lungs I swear!! Sputtered and coughed and coughed! But back then I had to keep up with "the crowd" so I was determined and finished my plastic cup o' rotgut in a hasty iron-willed fashion. Don't remember much after that.?? Something about yelling to Ralph on the Big White Phone comes to mind!!

LoA: Oh my...haha! At least you made it home!

Well, I can honestly say in my er, younger days...snicker...in Moscow I learned to do shots...the guys thought it was a hoot to teach a girl to do it (wasn't a common thing for a "lady" to do!) At 18, I was a bit more daring, I guess. Of course, I would highly recommend not doing three shots of lemon vodka, bad champagne chasers and going to the disco floor ...only time in my life I lost consciousness from drinking- ended up so sick , my pals from the program sat up with me all night... I can still remember Rick saying " Ok baby, I KNOW you just want to die, but puke it up, you'll feel better" and my group leader (from whose clutches, apparently Rick rescued me) came into my room the next day and told me "Oh just get up and have another shot, 'hair of the dog and all that' or have a dill pickle" Argh...I lost the pepto I'd finally managed to keep down at that point. YUK... missed a great tour of Suzdal that day (historical site we were visiting) and I lost my taste for vodka for many a year after that. Learned my lesson, though!

Funny how that stuff acts. One minute your fine, laughing having a great time. Next thing ya know your wondering where in the hell that brick came from to put you in such a state lol. So when I'm drinking my nice COLD (for all you UK people who misdrink warm beer) beer at least I have some idea of my state. Ya know when you opened up a case and theres only six left, well you still have time to drink the last six. By the way sorry UK, just like'em cold, to each his own

I like REAL beer. No more light stuff for me. LoA has it right. Damn the beer gut! I like Killians Red, Amber Bock, Black and Tan and Honey Porter (taste got expensive has I got older. Weidemans or even Cost cutter use to do when I was in College). For the serious drinking I, above all else like Tequilla (however you wish to fix it). Thats for those "hangin from the chandelier (or however you spell it) times. To just set and sip, I like Black Haus blackberry Schnapps. YUM! YUM! In two weeks My wife and I have a cabin in the Smokeys all to ourselves. No kids or nothing. Just us. Such times are ready made for chandelier hanging!

That reminds of a Darwin Award story.

Police arrive at a scene to see a truck upside down, A pair of underwear in a tree, and a dead driver inside the vehicle. Upon lifting the vehicle the police investigators found another dead person naked from the waist down with a holly branch driven into his rectum and a knife plunged into his thigh. From other clues and items found about the scene this is what the investigators conclude happened:

Two men had driven to the edge of a fence where a concert was being held on the other side. Figuring they could jump the fence and sneak in, one of the men makes an attempt to do so. Not realizing there was a 30+ ft (10+ meters for the up to date world) ravine on the other side, The first man got caught in a tree by his pants and underwear. He then tried to release himself by taking out his knife and cutting his pants and underwear free. Falling for the rest of the way he fell into a holly bush and impaled himself through the anus with a branch. He also managed to stab himself in the thigh with his knife upon impact with the bush. His companion hearing his cries for help decides to take a rope from his truck and throw it to him. The plan was to tie the rope to the truck and haul him out. His buddy gets everything set,starts the truck and stomps on the gas. Only problem was the truck was put in reverse and went careening off the cliff crushing the first guy beneath and killing the driver.

Needless to say, Alcohol was involved.

The Darwin Awards are dedicated to those who by willingly removing themselves from the gene pool, further the human race

Oh yes, the berry schapps ...mmmmm...

Geez, you'd think I was boozing it up every night! Rarely do. LOL!

Turbovee,

Love the Darwin Awards! I got two different lists, two weeks or so ago. If I still have them, at work on my email,I'll send them to you.

Turbo, on my earlier post- we were dropped off by a sober driver. Hope the taxi driver was sober but I wouldnt know Dont remember. BTW this was like 8 years ago

[Ladyzekke]

Sheesh, simultaneous posting again!!

CB- funny! Don't you hate it when they pat you on your back!! "Thanks dude, yeah, that really makes me feel better! You've made barfing a comforting experience. Get out!!! Can't I have a little privacy here?!! Oh God I swear I will never drink this much again, I promise! Alcohol sucks. I HATE this!! Lesson learned I swear it!! (Two weeks later "Well, I'll just have one, or maybe two, no more than three! That's it!)\

Turbovee - Ouch!! Holly bushes!! We had a roommmate last year that turned out to be not what he first appeared to be. He was 52 and said he moved from upstate, had temporarily stayed with his mother before. Well, we thought he was harmless enough, and he had cash on hand and an impressive bank account, so we let him rent our basement. In the end, we found out we had the wool pulled over our eyes, as he apparently just got out of alcoholic rahab before he moved in. His father had recently died and left him $20,000.00, ergo the bank account. I swear, within 6 months, he never got a job, just stayed home mumbling to himself (heard him), and got 4 DWI's and one charge for trying to run an Officer down. He told us he saw a roadblock and didn't know what it meant, so turned around and sped away, and the cops came after him. Yeah right. 52 and you've never seen a road block? Needless to say, by the time his lease was up, he was in jail again and had spent his entire inheritance on court fees and bail bondsman. We had to clean up his room and bathroom, which was pretty sick. He had all kinds of porno tapes everywhere, empty beer cans in his bathroom cabinets, an entire box of pepper spray containers, and blood spatters in his bathroom when his nose gave out from too much Sudafed. Did I ever tell anyone that my life is a soap opera?!
No more roommates EVER!!!!!!!

[Lord of Alcohol]

LadyWendy, can I have the porno tapes? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
