Posting while intoxicated
 

How about a new level of communication beyond smilies/emoticons.

Maybe they could be called inebricons® <---everyone just BACK OFF. This is MY next million.

Anyway, sorry up there, I must be a little tense. Ever have a couple of frosty ones or a series of G&T's or a few hits of the old left handed cigarette while you are posting?

It (your logic and posts) all makes sense to you at the time. Frighteningly, it often makes sense to the rest of us, too.

But, mighten it (is mighten a word?) be useful if you could log on as being drunk or stoned and anything you posted would appear against a colored background or some other flag?

That way, you could tell immediately that there is no point in trying to make sense of what someone writes, or conversely, you could log on and see who's hitting the sauce, and settle in for some entertainment.

I'm not thinking about this in a negative way, but just as smilies are useful in conveying tone in lieu of visual cues, this might be helpful in getting a sense of a person's, ahem, frame of mind.

There could be general tags: buzzed, hammered, forgot my meds, etc.
Or specific: Whiskey, Tequila, Thai stick (do they still make that?)

anyway, just a thought.

For your and most of the cellar population let me state here and now that MOST of the time I am posting on the cellar I have a cold beer or Bulrblin and coke or sum such in hand . Ain't it obvious ????? ;)

Thank you , That is all .

Do they make USB breathalyzers? If so, you could automate it!

You mean people post sober? :eek:

The problem I have when PUI is that I'm either a) happy drunk to the point of utter incoherency and can barely string together five words, or b) emotionally intoxicated with little else but depressive thoughts of shame, regret and misery running through my head. Dangerous posting conditions, I think, though you guys would get a good dose of what really goes on in the grey matter.

That's OK, when you get fucked up and post jibberish it gives everyone a chance to feel superior and judgmental. See, win/win. :biggrin:

Why should you be different from anyone else? :)

i miss blue58 :(

Could you be more specific about blue58??

the artist formerly known as blue58

he was cool. he posted drunk a lot.

Ah---thanks. By finding him I found the "this is Mr. StaceyV" thread which was, in all honesty, extremely fucked up.

THE WISDOM!
I bow to the master.

I flink [hic] if you are dwonk. You haave to wite in swllurrred spleeech to demon-straate [hic]. Then. It [dizzy spell] will be [five minute pause] oblious.

Haven't PUI'ed in awhile. I deliberately avoid it, because I've had some doozies in the past. My problem is that I would join a thread during the day at work, then try to follow up replies late at night on weekends. If I could even find the thread, the posts were something less than brilliant. The next day when I read my stuff from the previous night, I couldn't even remember writing it. :rasta:

oo. that gives me an idea for tonight. gonna get all stupid and post in the crazy guy's poetry thread.

yeah, it's been awhile since i had a girlfriend. why do you ask?

k i'm lit. does this post sound any different?

:lol:

Well-you're slurring your words

Reminds me of that episode of the Tom Green show when he wanted to test the theory of being funnier when intoxicated. He sits at a bar and throws beer in his face until he vomits - hilarious by my then high school standards, now just utterly juvenile and immature. Ugh, like, totally. Who *does* that?

i remember that everything was exceptionally funny last night. Not quite so funny today. And I forgot to do a poem. I guess I'll have to repeat the experiment.

WARNING: The crumsumpten of alcohol may mack you tink you kan tipe reel goood.

Does it count if your laptop is the one drinking?

I'm drunk :) And I'm so proud of myself for finding the posting drunk thread instead of starting my own again!! I had a LOOOOOONG night at work. I just need to forget about it all...I think waitstaff and bartenders have the highest rates of alcoholism-at least from what I see. I'm well on my way. I was never a big drinker (I drink maybe once a week) but lately while I'm at work, I keep thinking about drinking.

I think restaurant workers come in second to roofers, painters, and carpet installers.

Um.. you forgot fireman maybe a special category for productive alkies. Any workforce dominated by the Irish is gonna be suspect.

mmmm, beer
 

I need a moment here to compose myself. Please bear with me.

Man I kinda miss those days.

Blue, honey!! I been missing you, even if you do like the damned Packers. :smooch:

Hey, welcome back blue!

Posting while drunk is fun.

Reading drunk postings with a hangover is painful.


ooowwww my head......

Hey guys, thanks. And Wolf, I'm going to Packers-Bears at Lambeau on Christmas day this year, WooHoo!!!!

Early condolences on your loss ... ;)

Bear Down Chicago Bears!!

i suppose this makes me radically different from the other dwellars, but.. i've never been drunk. never had more than two drinks together EVER, don't like beer.

I AM, however, i diabetic. they tell me, in chronic disease class, that having high sugar is physically similar to being drunk. thick tongue, slow brain, dizzy, stupid. and in the morning, cotton mouthed and headachy.

Time to resurrect this'n. Who posts buzzed?

I do. I can tell the difference the next day between my real personality and the buzzed one.

As I am currently on probation and random breathalyzers, alcholol is no longer on the list of acceptable substances. However, I still am using prescription medicine to go to sleep at night (I just don't waste them on sleeping -- I post). There are other herbal remedies which have proven useful as well, but we have among us a fellow cellarite who is battling the overuse of this substance, so I shan't delve too deeply there.

I am not trying to behave any differently == I am just carrying on the same conversations that I do during the day. What differences dost thou perceive in mine manner?

Aside from the snooty staged accent -- that's from the strong drink thread.

Bonus question: who else is likewise influenced right now? And do you wanna hang out?

SUUUUP !!!
A little Beam and Coke here

I used to post on message boards while intoxicated, but chatting while intoxicated is even worse. At least you can go back and edit idiot posts on a mb. You can't edit idiot posts in a chat room. lol

I'm not intoxicated now. It's only 1:47pm here. Maybe some night I'll come and post drunk, but more likely I'd decide it was too much trouble and go to bed instead. :)

Thats the prob Ali, when we are buzzing, all the funsters are snoozing.


Ohhh, hows about you and I get pissed and post up a storm, then when everyone wakes up they will be wtf?

I applaud this idear.

as well as the idea of a cellar chat function :D

Cellar Chat would pwn.

I dont post indoxicated for, uh, obvious reasons.

Sounds like it could be fun Ducks. I'll be home alone Sat night if you're available. We can have our very own 'online date'. ;) I've gotta tell you though, I'm not a bit fan of cybersex, so no hanky panky right?!

Well, I'm doing band practice saturday anyway, so i didn't want to be invited tto your dumb old date :( ANYWAY.

Ibram, get intoxicated and post :D

Firday nite is PERFECT for me , Wife is out for the nite and I have to work the next morning , hell i even have to get up EARLY , PERFECT !!!

Ohhh I'm so there Ali, I'm staying home this weekend so works for me.

Bring on the hanky panky, so long as its kinky.

I rock at cyber :D


....pssstt moodle ....Our Saturday nite isnt your Sat nite....so you can prolly join in ;)

We should do an IRC chat or something??

Mostly I'm a "I luuurve you, man" kinda drunk. But, several times I regretting PUIs when I pissed people off. When I'm UI my buttons are pushed far too easily and I can go postal. So, I try to remember that and keep my temper. Tonight, it's rum and coke.

A funny thing at the end of a Raiders game recently, my Club bartender tells a bunch of guys, "Sorry, can't server you anymore, you guys are already too hammered. Hey, Rockie, here, this one's on me, buddie." Kettle One on the rocks. I guess I was behaving myself OK that night.

Fear of being caned for underage drinking? Or was that someplace else?

Who me??

No buzz for me tonight, I'm feeling too ill. :sniff:

All right! I'll see you here tomorrow night then Ducks. I'll be home from work about 5pm. I should be half pissed at least by about 7.

I wonder how many yanks and poms will show up to be annoyed early on a Saturday. lol

I'll be here :D

Man, I need to get the internet at home again. You think I'm weird straight...you should see me intoxicated. Sigh...

I'm seeing you intoxicated... It was a long week.

I'll see your intoxication and raise you a glass ;)

I see your glass and raise you a shot of Yeager !!!

Guinness with a shot of Baileys sunk to the bottom of the glass...

never tried that

Well it's a minor variant of the Irish Car Bomb, which has a shot of Baileys and Irish Whiskey, in the shot glass, dropped in the bottom of a pint of Guinness - and you slam the whoe thing at once!

I'm not feeling that . . . <insert whatever adjective>

Sounds like a Flaming Dr. Pepper--same setup, except it's a shot of amaretto dropped in a Budweiser. Also, the shot of amaretto is supposed to be on fire.

I have had several, and can attest that they do indeed taste exactly like Dr. Pepper.

Jagar bombs rock!! Although, by the time of nite I am ordering I call them "yogie bombs".

Its only 2pm here, you guys are making me thirsty, but if I start now I will be a dribbling mess by the time Ali gets home

WUSSSSSSY !!!!
Of corse this after 4-7 Yearge gulps , chased by MANY Blurben and cokes !!!!
Last one now , I have to work in the AM .

Youre soooo cute zippy. Blurbens - hahahaha :D

but you can bite me too, I'm no wussy!!

but you can bite me too,
Any Time ANNNYY Place !!!!:yum: :yum: :yum: :yum:
