I'm guessing the concept of a 2 hour movie showing two guys eating a meal and talking struck them as 'foreign' Rob Manderson wrote:

I destroyed the evidence today. If none of my friends drank, I'd quit drinking. Some of my best memories are of drinking with close friends. I guess I'll cut back soon enough, most of the guys I go drinking with are graduating in May.:) Brad Jennings "if the golden arches shut shop, where else are the VB people going to get work." - Colin Davies

If we stuck to our post-alcoholic statements the porcelain God would cease to exist. But he does and we do. Still, do be a bit careful. Getting drunk is one think, getting alcohol poisoning is a totally different kettle of fish. A kettle of fish I thankfully have managed to avoid.

It can be done; I've lasted two months and one week since I promised not to get myself incapacitated unless it is a birth, wedding or funeral. It saves me enough money to go out one more night a week too, so I plan to stick by it for a long long time. Saw Jackass the movie yesterday evening and was pleasantly surprised. I had gone in with less-than-stellar expectations for it, but some of it was very well done. Being the USA, I wonder how much their medical insurance costs are? :rolleyes:

Never heard of Jackass the movie... *Paul feeling like he is missing something*

I remember when I was in college I got so drunk I was acting so stupid everyone was laughing at me. I was aware I was doing stupid things, and that it was me everyone was laughing at, but could do nothing to stop it, and didn't care either. And I kept on drinking, thinking I could take it. After some time they had to carry me back to my room. I have obviously ommitted all the details because I'm so embarassed. I never got drunk again. I do take a few drinks once in a while, but stop before I start to slur, or get tipsy or anything. I like to be in control of what I am doing. ;)

On the other hand, drink can sometimes evoke brilliance. When I was in college, I spent an entire day at the bar (we had one on campus) helping a friend celebrate her last final exam and graduation. Ten minutes before a final I had to take started someone reminded me of it, so I tried to weave my way across campus to the class. I ended up crawling most of the way, which wouldn't have been too bad if the lawn sprinklers hadn't come on about halfway there. I arrived a few minutes late, soggy and plastered, and discovered that it was a written Philosophy final - 500 words, "Is Man's Fate Predestined, or Is There Free Will? Support your answer." I have no idea what I wrote as the professor took a year's sabbatical after that class and I never got my paper back. I went into the test with a 'D' grade (I missed a lot of classes and never did homework) but discovered an 'A-' on my grade report after the exam. I wonder if he ever published my work?:-D It is ok for women not to like sports, so long as they nod in the right places and bring beers at the right times.

Don't worry. I didn't know about it either till I was at the cinema. Thank god. :laugh: Basically you've either watched Jackass before on the telly, or if you've had any sense you probably haven't. I've seen a couple of episodes when I've been with my friends (about forty times the way they keep watching them :~), and as they wanted to see the movie I tagged along rather than watching that Hugh Grant film all on my own. (;)) The movie consisted of a bunch of prats - well paid prats no doubt - doing praty stuff. Shooting themselves with riot guns, hanging themselves by their underwear, swiming with Whale Sharks wearing shrimp in their underwear, etc, but there are some good ones too, like the old men shoplifting and going down a steep hill on those old people carts screaming "my brakes have failed". It's a mixed bunch of what can only really be called childish shite, but a couple of the scenes make it worth the price of a cinema ticket. I don't think I'll bother with the DVD though. :| They have a web site for it, but like the general programme itself it's not that good, so try this instead: http://www.hollywood.com/movies/reviews/movie/1682627[^].

My last birthday I had a realy bender of a party. I got absolutely wankered on every form of alcohol in the house. The interesting thing was that I woke up...in my own bed the next morning with only scattered memories. Thus i assumed it was a bad dream (fueled by the lack of the customary hangover), I got dressed went downstairs, went into the front room, only to find the party still in full swing. You can imagine the shock.

That sounds pretty bad! It's a lesson we all have to learn for ourselves though - I'm a lot more careful than I used to be. The drunkest I ever got was in a 3-legged charity pub crawl...we did 10 pubs in half an hour with a JD in each. That day I learnt that Newcastle Brown Ale is not a good chaser for JD.
