I’m betting we can get 35 drunk posters on this thread tonight. I know that later, at least, I’ll be one. Your predictions? (and maybe this will cut down on all of the pointless “I’m drunk!” threads.) 😛 ---

Posting drunk=BAD. Putting anything in writing while drunk=BAD. Makes for a most miserable day after, filled with pain and remorse (as well as embarrassment, humiliation, wishing one had never been born)…as you can see, I’ve been there! Also, just say NO to the making of phone calls-trust me. ---

OKAY! My guess is 43 drunk posts. ---

Also, just say NO to the making of phone calls-trust me. You know… I **know** that I started a thread somewhere while I was drunk once… I can’t find it. And it was even funnier the next morning because I couldn’t find my pants, and needed my wallet that was in them. 😛 ---

To go even one step further, this thread should be a special place for drunks to drop their nuggets of “wisdom” or that secret homosexualty issue they’ve been harboring for so many years. Go ahead and tell your brother inlaw that you want to see him in a thong! (but only here) Of course my brother inlaw is nowhere near sexy enough for me to post so crap like that. ---

> [@Cranky Hermit](#): > > OKAY! My guess is 43 drunk posts. 43 drunk posts or 43 drunk posters?😉 😃 [sub]It’s beyond me why anyone would want their brother-in-law to post here a link to a picture of himself in a thong…[/sub] ---

What if I don’t have any secret homosexual desires? I’m pretty open about being gay. I guess it’s time to break out my secret heterosexual desires. I’ll have to compose a list. It shouldn’t be a long one. ---

I’m guessing more on the order of 20 drunks but with more posts (estimated 35 posts). Here is a idea. Those who are drunk simply put in parenthesis (D) at the beggining of your post. Or somewhere else in your post. That way we can keep track of who is drunk and who is not. 🙂 ---

(1/8? D) Watching _Wheel of Fortune_. Still waiting for the salmon to finish in the oven. Maybe 1/4 of a can of Budweiser gone. At least I don’t have to worry about being on the road. ---

{I’m not drunk yet (by any measure I would use) but I am drunker than I was since last time I posted. Oddly, my spelling is no worse than the usual crap that it is (that’s one of my measurements). So far my kid almost walked in on my wife and me having sex. The door was locked but she had stolen a key and hid it for just such a moment. Thankfully I’m well aware that My wife spawned the demon-child and I ran to the door to baracade it shut. Anyone want a kid?} (Brother inlaw still looking ugly) ---
