What happened?
Bruce
Just thought I'd take a little (well, a long) break, is all.

Did you have a fun night, putting that together?
I think under a month. No offense Ben (but if I cause some, bonus points, right?) you just seem like a lush.

You know, you really <i>are</i> an obnoxious little fucktard.
But it's probably just the gin talking when I say that.

He has been particularly fucktardish lately, Bruce. I was just commenting on that to everyone in the entire world except Worm.

So, how's it working out for you, Ben? Worn driving you back to the bottle as we speak?

However, let's just say that, lately? I've been putting the BEN in Benadryl!! wwwoooeeoffdd

WARNING: DRUNKEN STRAW POST
(Pin: I've got a link to a GREAT DXM extraction from cough syrup if you want it. Almost as fun as fungus!! OK, not really.)
Well, I have also taken a small break from drinking also. A break, although not of my own accord. Work, school, kid, car, bullshit I deal with daily has been stacking up not allowing me to pay proper attention to the nectar of the gods. Although today, in the midst of a school function, the beer god has spoken and renewed his vows to me.
It started out innocently enough. I walked into Geva Theatre about 10 minutes fashionably late. I was informed that "Death of a Salesman" had already started and I would need to wait for the first break in the action. Luckily, my ""college" professor" (MCC) was also late so I got to shoot the shit with my fine Latina honey of a "professor" hobag.
30 minutes later, a snoring girl next to me and a fired up Game Boy Advance(c) with Metroid Zero Mission(c) (legally backed up), the lights came on and cultured fucks were clapping.
And then, the discovery.
Rohrbach's. On tap. $3.00.
The bartender(do you call em bartenders when they're in the cafe of a nice theater?) wasn't paying me much mind in my Adidas (alldyIdreamaboutsex)hoodie so when I finally got her attention I ordered 2. When I was finished with (slamming) them the intermission was not over. So I ordered another pair. When those were done and the masses still had not filed back into the theater I decided to slow down and order just one of my hoppy lovely friend. Halfway through it the "bell" rung to signify that the second act was beginning. I ran up in that bitch all hyped up like it was the last period of a Detroit game and I was about to throw an octopus. The bouncer-er I mean usher-said that I couldn't bring the drink in. No matter, I slammed it and handed the empty cup to the old man. This looked like a replay from JCSS Strip Club fallacy `03. Except replace some lazy big-titty shot girl with an old feeble Geva usher.
Fast forward to Straw nearly emptying his wallet after the play listening to mediocre live guitar music and grabbing a 40 of OE on the way home.
And almost finish it typing this message.
Signed,
Jack Straw

Sounded like good fun until that part. Come on, Old English is nasty, surely you could have done better than that.

Tonight marks two weeks, dry as a barren desert plain.
According to the poll, this means that FIVE of you are about 2.5 weeks from being WRONG.

Well, don't let the fact that three people believe in you discourage you.

Three weeks to the day, bitches! Still goin' strong!
Any side-effects from withdrawal? Well, I'd tell you I have the shakes pretty bad, but I think that's from the three pots of coffee I drink every day now!!1!3rreojeofjk

The correct answer was:
"1-2 months."
Thank you for playing.
