The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

I have two incidents that to this day still get harassed about (old friends from HS)

We were playing quarters and chandeliers and I was feeling no pain. Later that night (or morning) I decided I was going to walk down to the 7 Eleven and get some munchies. I bought a dozen doughnuts and a half a gallon of milk. Got back to the apt. and chowed down. About an hour later guess what? Turns out I ate a dozen doughnuts and a half a gallon of half & half :omg:!!! Let me tell ya', that combo with 1000 gallons of beer = nasty

My oldest friend and I had been to a party one Friday night in high school drinking Firewater. I had a 66 notchback and we decided after the party to go get some Little Kings and go cruise around. He ended up driving because I couldn't. Almost home and here I go again . Unfortunately, when I went to stick my head out the window the window was rolled up. I smashed my head on it and all over myself, the floor shifter, and the stereo ( I had the stereo mounted to the floor because I didn't want to cut the dash to fit it). The next day the car wreaked and the stereo didn't work.

Ahh, the gold ole days

I have seen that happen too many times! That's like those who slam smack dab into a sliding glass door. Priceless!

Sorry to hear about the radio though... that must have really sucked.

Let's see there are too many to count during my Army stint and Ft Bliss Tx. We spent every weekend in Juarez, Mexico where a "trash can" full of 60 beers was 15.00 and shots ot te-kill-ya were .25. lets just say 2 people 20.00 each one would buy a trash can and the other would give bartender a 20.00 and say keep the shots coming. We would come back over the bridge after sun-up regularly.

There was one time I taught a Mexican girl to say "american" at the border crossing and woke up in the barracks with an illegal girl (citizenship not age). Women were not allowed in the barracks at all. I some how snuck her in (don't remember). I had to sneak her out and drive her to the border where I promptly dropped her off and said "Hasta la vista". As a side note she was much better looking when I taught her to say "American" than she was when I said "Hasta la vista". Tequila has severe vision and judgment altering properties.


One of the best was actually in England. We were there training on a new weapon system with British Aerospace. We were there over the 4th of July. (They don 't actually celebrate it there) British Aerospace was nice enough to get us a back room of a pub and set up a celebration. They asked us what we wanted to drink. We chose te-kill-ya among other things. Long story short after consuming too much liquid courage we went into the front public section of the pub there ended up being what would amount to an international incident. They did not like the "F___ the queen" remarks and the "we whooped you arse in 1776 and we will damn sure do it again" remarks. Let's just say there was quite a bit of property damage. After they rounded us up and brought us back to the British Military base we grabbed a bottle of Jack and sat in the commanding general's front lawn and pounded it.

We were in quite a bit of trouble and lost a pay grade.

It was worth it

Heres my worst story..

It was my 21st birthday and my friends were feeding me shots ALL night long. They figured i drank about 20-25 shots. They were driving me home and on the way i had to puke... i rolled the window down and let er rip... some landed on the car, but most flew into the back seat on a friend of mine. I felt bad so i turned around to say sorry and while facing him.. puked again!

The next morning i woke up and couldnt figure out where my car was. I searched my pockets and found my friends car keys. He left his car, and took his... So i went down the street to see what i had done and there was puke all over the door... and on the inside of the car. I took the car to a car wash and started cleaning it up. I managed to get all puke cleaned up and got rid of the smell too. That night we exchanged cars and shared a laugh.

A few days later i get a call from my friend... He had another buddy of ours in the car and as he pulled the seat belt out on the passenger side... well needless to say i forgot to clean the seatbelt... oops

That stuff gets everywhere, don't it!

Sorry to hear about your friend though. It's bad enough to have to puke in front of someone, but ON someone is doubly bad!

As was once said in Animal House:

Flounder: "I can't believe I threw up in front of Dean Wormer."
Boon: "Face it, Kent. You threw up *ON* Dean Wormer."

Come to think of it, alcohol consumption should also be listed in the "Stupid Human Tricks" thread!

Time to break out the Eggnog and Jack.

Merry Christmas.
