…pokes head in window…
Did someone say body shots?
Someone should create a thread where…
#1) For a pre-selected night, everyone has a drink/shot/whatever every 5 minutes.
#2) Everyone spends the night conversing on the thread.
#3) Status updates are given every half hour, ala MonkeyMule
Has this been done before? Is it feasible? I’m thinking the conversation would be pretty funny.
As for a hangover cure, my dad swears by 3 aspirin and 2 aleve before bed. I’ve only tried that cure once and it worked perfectly. Usually it’s just water on the night, Gatorade and McDonald’s coke the next day.
I fancy a drink every once in a while, but drinking competitively as opposed to socially is probably not a great idea. How do we avoid goading someone to drink dangerously with comments like [%Pnutbot]MonkeyMule is a gangster!
Drinking games are probably best kept among solid IRL friends.
(Well damn, now I’m the wet blanket:( )
Or you could all come over to my house, it’s clothing optional and my stereo kicks butt!
Fuck you!
I have done much better drunk oposts then this!
(I am lalittle so now.)
Btw, i swear that any spelling mistakes are real. i do not correct them as a way to chronicale changes that I may not remember or recognize during soberness.
Re: drinking game. Fair enough. I was just thinking about how funny/weird/embarassing drunken instant message conversations are, and was trying to translate to here.
The usual problems apply:
a) time shift: you’re drinking in in Australia, I’m drinking in Québec, one of us is drunk nowhere near bedtime. The same problem exists with having any real-time all-inclusive SDMB party, our parties would have to be at least 24-hour affairs!
b) minimizing message entropy: because of the medium, there are many misunderstandings between perfectly sober Dopers, add drugs and alcohol to the mix and it’s AOL. Not to be élitist, but opening to SDMB floodgates to anyone who can get their hands on some cooking wine might takes months or years to undo. manhattan’s about to blow a gasket as it is. (I’m kidding…or am I…see my point?)
c) protecting reputations: sensible people do stupid thinks when they’re drunk, hilarious, naughty stupid things. As a matter of fact, the most sensible people tend to do the stupidest things when they’re drunk. I’ll be damned if all the sensible earnest people on this board horn in on my “lovable idiot” schtick. What? You thought I meant protecting other posters’ reputations?
d) See [%Pnutbot] reference above. Sadly, that’s now the first thing that comes to my mind when I open such threads as these. The ultimate party-poop.
That being said, I still think an all-SDMB piss-up is feasible, just not on these boards. The first rule to having any successful party is organizing the hell out of it beforehand and then lettin’ her fly when it’s party time. Some Dopefests are successful and some just flop, same deal. Now the idea of a 24-hour party doesn’t sound half bad, just labour intensive.
First thing to do would be to set a 24-hour period on a weekend when the maximum amount of Dopers could participate, and compile a guestlist. Setting up a private main chatroom and a few themed sub-chatrooms where pre-registered authenticated Dopers could log on anonymously (if they so desire) is a piece of cake. Email them the location of the rooms and BYOB! It’s like a rave in cyberspace, where is this bus taking us? I’m so excited I think I’ve soiled my groovy pants!
We could also easily set up rooms on a file-sharing network where we could listen to tunes and share pictures of each other naked and puking or fishing with the kids, but of course file sharing is bad and righteous Dopers would have nothing to do with this. Rule number two of sucessful partying is to include everyone and cater to as many tastes as possible. Surprising when alcohol is involved how many times the dead-serious biochemist and the zany car salesperson end up engrossed in conversation.
The main point of all of this is still: great idea, just not here.
Sorry for the hijack Muad’Dib.
I’m drunk n figured I’d chime in here. I’m in a foul mood too. A fuckig foul mood. That’s all.
Yes, indeedy!
You don’t sound like a wet blanket, but I prefer a small crowd… uno en uno.
- tunes? sounds good.
- naked pictures? wouldn’t want to scare you.
- puking? amateur.
- fishing with kids? no rug rats!
Hey it’s the internet, faking it is de rigeur . Do what Bart Simpson and I do, send photos of Gordie Howe…
I’d drink with you anytime rsa, mind if I dim the lights a bit? 
My my, is this thread devolving into a flirting thread? Who could’ve thought a drunk thread would end up like this? This devil alcohol must be stopped!
You’re welcome, no scarifce is to great to advance the…Oh I’m lying it was hella fun getting wasted. THe last 3 post I barely remember making. I rule

Monkey Mule, I just want to let you know that I appreciate your sacrifice in the name of science. Sorry I wasn’t there to hold your hair. Well, not really, but the sentiment is there.

I thank you for the love and and half hearted attempt to “hold my hair” even though it’s an 1/8 of an inch long.
This 24 hour party IDEA is great but I think we should stick to live dopefests. Much of the beauty of drubnks is just lost by the inability to type, and hoesntly typing while drunk SUCKS. THe Keyboard swims, and the screen dances it’s sickening. Add to that the fact that is ZERO chance of taking a drunk woman home, whats the point ya know? So I say, we have several dope fests world wide all at once. And ceicl HAS To show up to one…right?
