I wasn't anything for Halloween but that didn't stop me from getting smashed. After tonight, I'm of the mind that people of Jackson, Wyoming are the best of the best. That's just how it is, as I see it. Tonight was wild, but tomorrow will undoubtedly be wilder. I'm looking forward to it. B)

I may have gone drinking with my colleagues - all of them senior to me including my mentor and the people in the MRI department I'd very much like to be working in next year.
Having been completely sober for a few weeks, and having seriously cut down my drinking because I'm used to having to drive, I may have slightly overestimated my drinking capacity.

This may have led to me falling over in front of them. :shy:

On the bright side, that stopped me from drinking any more and I don't have a hang over today... that's something right? Right?!

Lesson number 17 on the workplace:

When drinking with work associates remember, you are still at work. One beer, then it's time to move on. Do not drink hard alcohol, or you will appear to be an alcoholic. Do not drink wine or you will appear to be a snob. One beer. Also, never, under any circumstances, may you slur your speech, stagger, wet yourself, throw up, get into a fight, or fall down. Remember, you are still at work.


My advise to you, young man, is to explain to the most gossip-likely associate that you had a bit of a cold coming on last night that might have affected your ability to hold your alcohol.

P.S. Is that ole resume up-to-date?

On the topic of hangovers, I've got the cure - Excedrin Migraine. Take two pills with water, no problem. I had more than I should have last night, but I feel fine.

On the topic of Halloween:
My costume
Posted Image
Pretty clever, right? Just a nice little football, cheap grey sweatpants and a sweatshirt all spray-painted gold. I ordered an old-school leather (well it looks like leather) football helmet, but it didn't get here. :dry: Oh well, my costume is still legit IMO, and much easier to carry myself in then the grandma I was last year.

I'm sure their are many respectable Halloween parties around the nation, but I would put Athens up against any of them! ^^

The Village - Manhattan. Nothing on earth can come close, unless you are talking the Castro in S.F. but that has too many naked guys! :lol:

Unless you're in Japan, where you're expected to be able to hold your liquor.

Yes. Yes, it is. I would be horrified if I saw Hilary Clinton walking down the street.

I was a zombie. And a pretty damn good one too. Liquid latex, fake blood, ripped shirt, face all pale and bloody and the like, it was like I was actually a zombie

Yes. And you'd rather be doing something else daily? I'm not saying it's original, I'm just saying I prefer it.

Put on my kilt. Went with lover to local gay bar. Wearing a kilt with traditional undergarments in a crowded local gay bar can be risky! :sad:

Wearing a kilt with traditional undergarments in a crowded local gay bar in a college town can be fun! :shy: :o :lol:

Watched the World Series at a non-gay bar. I almost ran over someone during the night, namely someone I couldn't see even with my headlights on because it was a dark-skinned black man dressed in all-black who stepped onto the street between two parked cars. A black man should not be allowed to wear a black shirt, black jacket, black pants, and black shoes while walking in the middle of the night in the middle of the street. I swerved just in time and missed him by about 10 feet but if I had hit him, I would've sued the NAACP right there on the spot.

No way...An almost identical scenario occurred to me once when I was driving downtown.

I usually take the same roads to get from place to place whether or not they're the fastest way or not. However, sometimes I decide to explore a bit and once I was driving through downtown Columbus late one night when I nearly run over a black man who was trying to jaywalk. Most of the city is well lit, even moderately lit, but the area I was exploring sorely needed some new light fixtures. In any case, I'm driving and looking around for signs for various highways when I think I notice something in front of me. Behold, there was a black man in a black jacket with jeans walking across the street - not running, but walking. When I swerved to miss him I could have been no more than 3-4 feet away from him. One of the scariest moments I've ever been in.

*Let the record show I'm a racist by automatically assuming the man was an African-American*

Lol yeah, black people always walk across the street, never run, even when there is a car hurtling toward him. I got a heart palpitation from this incident but the black guy I almost hit appeared to be completely unruffled and just kept walking at his leisurely pace like nothing happened.

I knew this was a black man though, I got a good look at his face in the end. I wasn't even going very fast since it was a rather constricted one-way street, but it was a close call nonetheless.

Its a sign of social dominance. He knows you will stop for him, and he can't be bothered to move out of the way for you.

Black people need to develop a sense of jaywalking danger.
