Just give us the best one....
acatslady, a brand being a tattoo, I take it?
My stupidiest thing....sing. Loudly and so off-key. Knew it was badly out of tune but didn't care a fig.
No (I love tattoos)..a 'brand'
view link meaning like what the cowboys do to their cattle...Mooooo! (Hot iron shaped metal heated red hot and burned into the skin to make a permanent mark showing ownership).
I rarely drink...but when I was a senior in high school I got pretty snockered...and with friends one night I decided to pose on the hood of a car as a "hood ornament"....it was a long time ago...lol....(and the car was moving...I swear!)....mostly I just giggle, and sing when I do drink...make up my own lyrics...so fun.
Well one time back in my younger days I went out clubbing with a few of my buddies and I got totally shit-faced... I'm talking knee crawling, commode hugging drunk...
well after a while we went to a gentleman's club and I met this gal of questionable morals and yada yada yada when I woke up the next day I was broke... I mean penniless...
Usually it's my mouth and what comes out of it that gets me into trouble. As in, saying stuff I wouldn't say if I were (more) sober. Probably the worst I did was offer someone a place to live (mine) when I really wasn't up for that. Thank god, he didn't take me up on it.
Come on guys...you gotta have better stories than that!
Let me give you another one...
I was involved with a legal matter with my son.
I got the feeling they "were after me' and covered all my front windows with paper and proceeded to drink Jameson's Irish Whiskey right out of the bottle. (See what stress can do to a person). My adult sons tried to get me to drink some coffee but I just put more Jameson's in it. (They saw me out of sorts cause I don't drink like that.). I ended up sitting in my rocker and puking down the front of my clothing. My sons and husband carried me upstairs and put me in the Jacuzzi with a little water. I woke up there in my clothes laying in the water with vomit all around me. Yuch! I had to go to court the next morning. Was late and they were ready t issue a 'warrant' for my arrest.
BTW, my case I won against the city of Westlake, OH and it became a landmark case. It is in the books, Waters vs. Westlake, OH.
Great read, acatslady. Who the hell can top that?????
Following on with this thread......what other terms do you have for being drunk? I ask this because being a non-American, the vocab varies somewhat.
Here's how we in the colonies say it: smashed, off your trolley, pissed, wasted, inebriated...sure that my children could add a few more of the latest.
Alcohol is referred to as: booze, a dop, sundowners, a tipple, a shot in the arm, putting hair on your chest, a down-down......
Most of my hair-raising drunken moments took place on varsity campus...oh so long ago. Even won the boat-racing competition. Considered a very prestigious event. Guys vs girls. See how fast you can down an ale and put the glass upside-down on you head. The competition is fierce and I was a very proud winner.
