When I was a youngn'....

Stingray · « **Reply #81 on:** October 31, 2005, 10:41:33 am »

When I was seventeen
I drank some very good beer
drank some very good beer
I purchased with a fake ID
My name was Brian McGee
I stayed up listening to Queen
When I was seventeen.

The original song is one of my favorites.

I bet those are the people who never learn to funnel a beer either.

That's pretty much it, though it's funnier when they're trying to actively swallow instead, since that is when it comes out the nose.

The only way to do it right is just to open the throat and let it go down... the same way one would deep throat something, so I'm told.

Camping pics...

First one from 2003... If you look at the right side of the tent, near the ground, you can just see the AC unit. I'm the giant wussbag sitting in the chair.

Second one from this weekend... Movie of the night was 'Spaceballs'. I swiped the video projector and screen from work with the intention of putting a movie on for the kids. One of my friends thought otherwise and brought a collection of movies. While we were watching, my wife wandered around the campground, listening to the comments. Seems I singlehandedly managed to annoy the women, and impress the men throughout the whole campground. Well worth the effort.

Well done. Mission accomplished.

Gotta say, driving to the campground, setting up temporary shelter, and then sitting there watching TV... why bother going at all?

Harry Potter · « **Reply #88 on:** November 01, 2005, 10:07:44 am »

Same reason you go to the drive-in. for the different atmosphere.

ChadTower · « **Reply #89 on:** November 01, 2005, 10:08:23 am »

But you don't have to go to that much trouble at the drive in. I mean, damn, enjoy the camping. If you want to watch a movie, stay home.

Same reason people climb mountains. Because they can.

I've tried convincing my wife to go backpacking with me, but she never bites.

ChadTower · « **Reply #91 on:** November 01, 2005, 10:19:33 am »

Right, but backpacking is good, healthy, and you can enjoy the mountain. You're not lugging a screen and projector, or an AC, so you can ignore nature while you're in it.

I doubt that watching a movie was all they did on the camping trip, and I expect that there was a lot of beer drinkin' & socializin' going on. Sounds like a fun way to spend the evening to me. It's not like you can do much at the campground after it gets dark other than drink beer around the campfire.

Hell, I live in the woods. I'm seriously thinking that the next time I have people over I may have to set up a movie projector & screen out in the woods, and have a movie going to go along with the usual video game action in the house.

ChadTower · « **Reply #93 on:** November 01, 2005, 10:26:24 am »

I used to live there too, in the serious Canadian backwoods. It is a different thing, living there vs taking a camping trip to the forest.

Stingray · « **Reply #94 on:** November 01, 2005, 10:33:04 am »

I woudn't live in a city if the rent was free. I love living out in the wilderness. Went out to the road to check the mail yesterday and there was a deer about 50 feet from the mailbox. I saw a coyote on the way to work this morning. I can go outside in the evening and not only do I not see any other houses, the only thing I hear is tree frogs. Nice & peaceful.

Sounds like the perfect setting for a horror flick

ChadTower · « **Reply #96 on:** November 01, 2005, 10:36:55 am »

Yeah, if I could find work in a place like that, I'd be there. I'm about as far out as I can get while still finding work in my field.

I need to change my line of work.

I did, however, see about 35 turkeys in my yard the other day.

I have a few friends who are visibly creeped out when they're at my place after dark. Sissy city-slickers.

Ed_McCarron · « **Reply #98 on:** November 01, 2005, 10:51:11 am »

Yup. I've got no problem 'roughing it'. I did the scouting thing, made it through wilderness survival, and am fully capable of making it in the woods for a week on a single backpack. I've caught fish, trapped rabbits, and made my own shelters (OK, I have gotten lazy there and would carry a tarp now...) but the point is, if you gotta do it with a wife and two year old along, why not have fun at the same time?

ChadTower · « **Reply #99 on:** November 01, 2005, 10:58:38 am »

Sitting in front of a television or movie screen can be done at home.

When I'm going on a trip like that, I want to do things that I cannot do at home... otherwise I may as well have stayed home and done those things there.

I believe I WILL NOT be having any beers tonight as I had WAYYYYYY too many last night.

I was actually on here around 2:00 AM, but decided not to POST drunk, although I gave it some serious consideration.

Stingray · « **Reply #101 on:** November 04, 2005, 02:15:30 pm »

I've had a skull rattling headache since I woke up this morning. I doubt that beer will figure into my plans this evening. So far my plans involve the recliner and an icepack.

Three quick shots of Jagr before dinner and that headache will be gone.

I used to get killer migraines. Throwing up nearly always helped.

Somebody else said that to me today. I've thrown up when I had a headache, always just turns it up to 11 for me.

I had a head ache when I woke up and while I was in class. I'm on my third beer and the headaches gone

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #108 on:** November 04, 2005, 02:39:48 pm »

I still get migraines pretty frequently (though not as bad as when I was a young monkey) and I also spend a lot of time hungover. After much clinical study, I have concluded that puking or taking a huge dump always helps a hangover, but pumps your migraine up to an eye-popping brain exploding level.

I would end up sleeping in the basement with the broken pins if I did that.

I don't have a basement, so it's under the porch with all of my redneck dogs for me.

ChadTower · « **Reply #113 on:** November 04, 2005, 02:52:12 pm »

Why do I find it funny that those of us at sea level all have basements, but those of you in tornado alley don't?

Related story; Myself and a co-worker were working late on a bunch of different sites in Boston on Tuesday night. In-between jobs we went to The Pour House to grab some food and a couple of beers. Within seconds of sitting at the bar the guy next to me started coughing. I ordered a beer (a regular Sam Adams as the mood took me) and the bartender went to change the keg. As soon as he was gone, the cougher next to me decided to puke all over the bar. It was a watery stewie mess that seemed to be pumping out of his mouth in a nice controlled stream all over the bar surface. I went to grab a bar-back and when I returned to my seat the phantom puker had vannished.

I was so hungry I stayed at the bar (once it was cleaned up a little) and ate some steak tips. It still smelled a little pukey. Yum!

Dumbest moronic story, too.

You've probably got SARS now, idiot.

Isn't that how all zombie/plague movies start?

Stingray · « **Reply #118 on:** November 04, 2005, 02:58:30 pm »

Zombie movies all start with a dozen sorority girls having a naked pillowfight. Well, that's how they'd start if I made zombie movies.
