Five drink minimum

It's not often that I blog under the influence, probably because I so rarely AM under the infleunce anymore, but since tonight is a Tuesday and I am officially shmammered, I consider it a special occasion worth posting.

I met up with a client/BFF/mentor for some beverages at the local irish pub, played some serious Rockband/Guitar Hero and stumbled my way home with some sweet-ass quotes. These quotes will not be attributed to anyone (which - to any smart person - means that they are mine and largely offensive) but are definitely worth posting before I forget them.

"Peer pressure is lame, but being thin is awesome."

"I'm make-out-with-a-stranger drunk."


To the new friend who is a corrections officer:
"Did you just say all your colleagues are inbred?"

"-No, he said they're all in prison."
"Oh okay. I just figured...being from Cape Breton and all..."

Only funny to people in the Halifax area:
"I'm going on a Sex and the City bus tour."
"No way! In Sackville?" *immediately realizing what a dumb question that was and wondering why Sackville was put forth versus NYC.
"Ummm.....not so much."

From Mom after arriving home (yes, I am still at my parents' until Friday)
"Ugh. Just please don't spill aspirin all over the bathroom and giggle about it again."

The SATC Sackville bus tour is currently in the works featuring bars and apartments that have never seen the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker. Reservations are required.

Goodnight all and not a moment too soon.

HAHA! I'm not allowed to blog while drunk. I dropped my laptop on the floor last time I tried.

Joel Kelly said...

Awesome stuff. The internet appreciates the sacrifice your liver has made for the good of the blog.

Deutlich said...

aah, drunken posting. I've done that.. haha

Essentially Me said...

You haven't blogged if you haven't blogged drunk. That makes no sense.

Leigh said...

AHHHH HAHAHAHA
gotta love the cape breton blurb

btw, SEND THAT ASPIRIN THIS WAY!

no seriously, i have a massive headache due to being woken up at 4:17 AM ...by two VERY VOCAL PIGEONS...

yup, pigeons are getting more action than i right now.
i was jealous


miss you! :>

Update: It is now 2:38am and I am left with much time to reflect. Why, praytell, did I wake up an hour ago to throw up after only having four beer? Why have I since been wide awake? Why do I have the oldest 22-year-old body that I know?

Also, here's another quotey quote that I remembered:

"So what IS a mastodon? Is it the same as a woolly mammoth?"
"Um...NO. A mastodon is more like a furry elephant."
"Don't use your semantics to confuse me."

I can't really type when I've had too much to drink, so I don't even bother to try. However, make-out-with-a-stranger drunk...yeah, that's good times!

I feel your wake-up pain. I never used to get hangovers, but I would wake up at some ridiculous hour and not be able to fall back to sleep. Now I get the hangovers. I'd gladly trade.

sid said...

LOL! I love your mom. That quote was fantastic.

The Dutchess of Kickball said...

LOL, don't spill the aspirin. That's great!

Jamie Lovely said...

I can almost guarantee that there will be tipsy blogging come July when Jenn and I go to San Francisco for BlogHer.

I love your mom's comment. Seriously. I have never blogged under the influence (BUI), but I think I want to try it.

mike said...

It depends on the beer and if you had much to eat. I had 4 pints of Guinness on an empty stomach (not smart) once. I didn't get sick, but I should have. I might have felt better.

Ben said...

Felicia: I came very close. Twice.

Joel: I'm here for you, man.

Deutlich: I shouldn't...but I do.

Essentially: It makes more sense than you think. Maybe?

Leigh: I was awake to see your comment arrive in my email. How's that? Apparently throwing up made me completely awake until 5:30.

Wegrit: I get the booze insomnia almost every time now. It sucks. Despite feeling fine after my love affair with the toilet, I could not for the life of me fall back to sleep. That's Jesus punishing me.

Sid: If my mom's good for anything, it's drinking and coming up with quotes about drinking. Okay, she's good for a lot more than that.

Dutchess: That's a story for another time but I think you've got the jist of it.

Jamie: I expect no less!

Penelope: DANGER! DANGER! Don't do it! Okay...do it. The comments will be worth it.

Mike: Maybe I didn't monitor my food intake well enough. I had supper with two Stella then moved on to two Coors Light. Maybe that's to blame. Terrible. Can you believe I lived in Ireland for six months without ever tasting Guinness?

EP said...

I cannot admit to ever blogging under the influence, but it sounds rather interesting. And those quotes? Classic!

Soo, did you spill the aspirin in the bathroom and giggle about it>

RED MOJO said...

I didn't have you pegged for a drunk blogging aspirin spilling giggler, but I guess it makes sense now!

Justin Gill said...

haha this is a good laugh!

Tipp said...

Im with EP? Did ya do it? Did ya giggle?

Ben said...

I didn't spill...this time...

Mike said...

Shocked about the Guinness, but forgiven. Incredibly jealous that you lived in Ireland, though! My family's from Cork.

Ben said...

Mike: Nice! I spent a day in Cork, mostly for job training but it was as lovely as most Irish cities are. My mom's family comes from a small town in the South but I spent my time in Galway.

Raul said...

I've blogged under the influence (last night, no less - the post you read on The Network Hub was written under the influence of 10 glasses of Okanagan peach cider :)
