Should I post when I'm too fucking drunk to make any sense?

22:33 / 16.01.04

Posting drunk. Should you? Is it? Do you? I thought of the crappiest pun to post in Keith's thread. I won't tell you what it was.

Do you post when you're a bit hammered? Do you care about your reputation? Is it okay to find something funny when you're drunk even when sober people will then think you ludicrous?

And if so, why?

22:47 / 16.01.04

Everybody loves a happy drunk. Nobody likes an angry drunk, nobody talks to a maudlin drunk. As long as you’re happy, I think it’s okay. We can all roll our eyes and shake our heads and say “he’s drunk again”...

Now, tell us the Keith pun. If it’s as bad as your Bear joke you’ll be really embarrassed tomorrow.

22:52 / 16.01.04

No, no. That's how bad it is. That was the joke!

It's nothing to do with Keith. It's just that Bear posted in the thread and I thought of it.

I'm turning into my Dad...

22:54 / 16.01.04

I'm in that point of drunkenness when pretending to hit snare drums feels genuinely satisfying....

22:57 / 16.01.04

It’s when you start posting things like B’dum tishh! that you know you’re too drunk to be on the internet.

23:05 / 16.01.04

So you're saying I'm not quite iredeemable yet...that's very kind of you.

So let's try and turn this into something useful. Do all Dads like crap puns? Are all of us guys destined to turn into crap-pun-making-cheesmeisters? What is the root source of crap puns? SHould we be ashamed? Should we accept that old age leads to the appreciation of puns?

I have a relative who must be a contender for world-pun-champion. I don't think I ever want to be like that. But I do find puns amusing. And I loathe myself for it.

Am I destined to be lonely forever?

Barbelith's great. People are so cool here. People don't even react to stupid rants. I love you all. Have a very happy Christmas...

My dad once entered a pun contest. He wrote ten of them, and we thought he might win, but no pun in ten did.

Was that last post a test, Biz?

Does laughing at it lead to an immediate ban from the board? And can the fact that I'm 7 hours into a 12 hour night shift count as mitigating circumstances?

23:25 / 16.01.04

Now hang on a minute, I was about to post about being drunk (as I am) but then I saw the description, wats up wit dat????

Anyway I am posting and I am drunk, just been to the barbemeet and I wasn't the last to exit..

As for you Bedhead, we are going to have words...

As for E. Randy boy - how can you think Fawlty Towers wont make the top 5!!!?

And I just got some mad message from Gingerbop - how drunk is she?? Kim the jeweler? What??

23:27 / 16.01.04

I love a pun, as long as it's a current pun.

00:22 / 17.01.04

then I saw the description, wats up wit dat????

For me to offer a coherent explanation would kinda defeat the point of the thread...

20:43 / 18.01.04

Bear; It was mad, but not drunken.

Faulty Towers should make the top 3, if not just because Manuel helps me remember this girl (Imannuelle)'s name. Also the Vicar of Dibley, I like very much. The Good Life was in for the runnings too, I beleive? Margo from it lives near me. I met her when I was with friends and made a twat out of myself.

21:34 / 18.01.04

When I'm drunk the whole world seems drunk, tonight I am quite sober (although drinking a nice bottle of wine) - everything seems more normal now, although I'm still not sure about 40% and his talk of my initiation into a certain group that shall remain nameless... and sorry to Bedhead for thinking it was him

22:33 / 18.01.04

Hey, Brother Bear, don’t worry man. As the boards resident wino I just assumed I’d said something wrong and was all ready to apologise. I think I said several things wrong yesterday, though not to you. Er, I think.

Sorry anyway. Pour me a glass.

23:03 / 18.01.04

Hmm. I need to get drunk. Does it count as being an alcoholic and drinking by yourself if you're not alone in a lateshifting way? Otherwise I'll have to resort to more chocolate. mmmmmm. Lardfull.

23:07 / 18.01.04

Posting drunk is the motherfucking shit, just do it!

23:13 / 18.01.04

My friendship with the remarkable Sherlock Holmes was often rather trying. One time he burst into the room, only to drop his trousers and reveal he had a citrus fruit wedged between his buttocks.
"What the deuce..." I spluttered.
"A lemon entry, my dear Watson."

10:04 / 19.01.04

I tried to delete it. The blame now lies with the moderators.

10:31 / 19.01.04

Posting drunk is awful, don't do it, you'll just have to ask to have your threads about BJs deleted.

10:41 / 19.01.04

Awwww, yeah, that whole thread has vanished now. What a shame.

I think the mods were soft on you, man. You can't have been that drunk last night if you're not still sleeping it off. Ah well, hope you feel okay now. It's not too bad.

I'm saddened that I never got to read the first post of that thread. I was slightly confused by the entire taxicabs thing at first but eventually worked it out. I think you should start the thread again so that the rest of us get the chance to discuss your love life. It's totally wrong the way people keep deleting the juiciest threads. The only gossip round here these days comes from Keith (not strictly true) who I actually have some advice for... but the advice comes from a comic book so perhaps he won't want it, it would be a bit lame to take advice from a comic book.

12:12 / 19.01.04

Oh, bosh. That’s an even better idea for a thread, wherein all advice can only be based on comic books. A sort of ‘what would Batman do?’, kind of thing. Who hasn’t gotten drunk and maudlin and dreamed of getting knocked into shape by their favourite superhero, huh? Huh?

All the best life-advice comes from Peter Milligan comics anyway. I’ve learnt everything I know about the human condition from my close reading of Shade the Changing Man. I’m sure Milligan would have known exactly what to say last night, too.

I've been trawling the site for times when I've posted sober, and so far, you know what? Fuck all.

23:08 / 24.01.04

What is this "sober" of which you Earth people speak?

01:14 / 25.01.04

yeah, I think so.
