School stories are best left at school. Even the most harmless slip can leave your family thinking that you're an alcoholic who smokes all day and doesn't shower.

What the hell was your point with this topic? Haha. I'm just kidding.
I can't really comment here since I live only 20 minutes from home. I am pretty much the same here and there. I can understand how YOU couldn't take home some of your stories, entertaining or not. I think your parents would die at the thought of you participating in some of those lovely stories.

so true. for the record, it isn't wise to make alcohol reccomendations to your parents. it always seems sketchy...

What kind of diplomat to TN are you, damon?

the respectable kind

"There is no room for honor in diplomacy"
-some figure from the Cold War, but I forget who.

Respectible diplomat, eh?

Will

i want to mend the broken ways of cold war diplomacy. respectable indeed. krushchev is a good friend of mine, and i play golf with former preidents carter and ford. with their help, i shall bring wv and tn into a sort of pax romana.

This is without a doubt the most inflated goal I've ever seen established.

Will

i would rather fail in a remarkable fashion than succeed insignificantly.

you know, its amazing just how right you are with this one. i make a small comment about school, and my dad thinks im a dirty hippie who drinks all day.

i'm afraid of what my parents think of me at this point. i think that the fact that i subtly admit some things on top of the fact that i go to school 9 hours from home causes the suspicion factor to increase exponentially. hopefully i'm wrong. truth be told, i don't even like beer. i must admit though, woodchuck ale is quite nice.

probably kissinger

My parents were always so worried that I was doing everything that they did in school that I got more flack for things I never did than the ones I did do. I went to the hospital via ambulance my first year at school, and my parents just said, "be more careful next time".

i'm sure that by the end of my college career my parents expect that i shall have a healthy case of aids, a faulty liver, black lung, and nothing to show for it but a job at burger king, the last of which is the most disturbing.

I thought you were a guy.

i'm pretty sure i am a guy. don't get me wrong, if the occasion calls for it, i can consume large ammounts of beer, jack, or whatever. i just haven't really aquired a taste for beer.

(Edited by damon at 12:49 pm on Jul. 11, 2002)

Yeah, no offense meant. I agree beer is a taste you have to learn to enjoy. I just remember making fun of this guy we used to hang out with because all he would drink is Woodchuck. I'm a beer snob myself, so just excuse me.

it's quite ok. it's probably a good thing that i don't like beer anymore than i do. i fear i would be drunk all the time if that were the case. as is, i drink pretty much whatever is around.

mmm, Windex.

a funny story about that... (which to tell, i must admit that i'm a quizbowler from way back...)

once at a quiz bowl tournament, my friends wanted to be weird, so they filled a windex bottle with blue kool aid and drank it before matches. some strange looks were exchanged that day.

That reminds me of a CKY (jackass precursor) skit. Guy on a ladder washing windows, drinking windex and spitting it on the window.

i think we can agree that windex is a real man's drink.

you too? that's weird; were you sent to the hospital becasue of alcohol, or did you jump off a building or somehting?

yeah, i could see why your parents would ask you to be more careful if you drank your way to the hospital.

I miss school. I miss going to shows almost every night. I miss going out to get ciggarettes late at night with damon. I miss eating vegetraian chilli at the red rose. I miss the concrete walls of my dorm room. I miss listening to David Bowie at 3:00 AM. Summer is very boring. I cannot wait for school to begin.

awwwww

No, if I couldn't walk there's no way I could have jumped, fallen maybe. Just got really drunk at a concert.

it's always good to have sober friends in situations like that...

... until they get really pissed at you for keeping them up until 5am in the hospital. that sucked. we made up eventually though.

RULE #1 OF DRINKING...

avoid hospitals if at all possible

# 2 rule of Drinking

Always do it with some one you trust, you never know when you might meet Mr. Where the Pee Comes Out.

Or who will beat the crap out of you while you're drunk and steal your wallet. That's how I get my kicks at parties.

so true. mr. where the pee comes out likes to come out when you get drunk.
