Hunting down the missing

[TPD]

(luna can vouch i'm not weird... barring the whole throwing up at the rickshaw thing)

EDIT:
HA, SPOKE TO SOON.

TPD=THE SHIT.  Yep. It's true.


Wait, when did you puke at the Rickshaw? Was it the show I was there for or a different one?

[luna]

Teepers is not weird, just don't give him red bull and vodka

Dude, i totally charffed at THAT show... I thought you knew. I got to the venue sick on RedBull & Vodka (as luna said) and rushed the washroom and was splooorging my guts out... i stumble out of the men's room looking disoriented and confused (because I was) and then I hear and eventually see Luna say, " Are you Theo/TPD?"

Epic. Meetup.

After that I was rocking out in the front-row like a madman.

Good times.

I don't care if I'm too old to party, I'm having a quarter-life-crisis.

[luna]

you missed the part where i walked past you on my way to pee and i tried to make eye contact but you were too wasted to notice

[TPD]

hahaha. i missed a lot that night.

and the Rockband session was a better indication of what drunken tpd is like!
Behaved, but hilarious... and not pukey!

You don't have any of his info from when you played q2 together? I miss him

[TPD]

neither me or dust have it anymore.
i thought i did... but i don't.

[Aaron]

I must have missed that part about you puking. Oops. I remember you saying you were drunk at the show (a lot of times.)

[TPD]

yeah, i hadn't drunken much in awhile at that point, and was still getting used to the "sudden" weight loss, so, needless to say, i was quite pukey. even remember running out of a car and puking in front of a cop car.

yes. i'm airing my trashy ways out in the open. i have no shame.

puking in front of a cop car.

THAT, that right there, is THE WORST.  I got sick, like, food poisoning or something-- absolutely NOT booze related-- after a poetry slam one night, and was trying to get back to my friend's car when I was hit with such a strong surge of nausea that I had to stop and puke in a snowbank.  Mind, at the time, I was probably rather obviously underage.  I was around 17, and generally looked older, but when I'm sick I lose any of the carriage and presentation that contribute to my looking my age (since even now that's not enough to get served without an ID most of the time).  My friend was very clearly NOT even the least bit intoxicated, but still, the officer's first question to him was not, "Is she okay?" it was, "Has she been drinking?"  Ugh.  As if people absolutely NEVER fall ill in public, away from home, and need to reach a car in a state of illness that ISN'T alcohol induced in order to get home and recover.  It's not even like we'd come out of a bar; we were leaving a freaking poetry slam at an art gallery, ffs.     And people wonder why, although I've never run particularly afoul of the law (one speeding ticket, but no other infractions of any kind), I so strongly dislike the police as a general rule.

On the other hand, puking in front of a fire station: totally the best.  My wife's cousin did that once.  Had too much to drink, my wife was driving him home, and half-way he screams "PULLOVA IM GERNA SPUW".  So she does, and it happens to be right in front of a fire station, he flings the door open and proceeds to blow chunks all over their driveway.  A couple firemen come out to see what's going on.  While her cousin is still doubled over out the car door, my wife waves to them and says "Hi, I'm so sorry!!"  Their response:

"It's ok.  I'm pretty sure we have a hose."

Ha!

Well, to be perfectly honest, 99.9% of public illness that a police officer sees in his duties is going to be alcohol related.  In that situation, I wouldn't take their questions personally.

[Naylzie]

I think it's just one of those things that's stamped in my brain with my emotional response at the time, which, being as sick as I was and also rather young (I can finally admit that I was often a righteously indignant teen with little-to-nothing to be indignant about...  you, among others, probably remember ).  It was just exceptionally unpleasant and when I think about the incident, I remember how unfair the comment had seemed at the time. 

"It's ok.  I'm pretty sure we have a hose."

Ha!

At least they had a good sense of humor about it

So true.
If you were headed to a car maybe he was trying to prevent a DUI, or maybe he was confused as to how you came out of the slam so sick.*

It is not uncommon for people to be drunk at non-drinking establishments, ESPECIALLY under age. I used to get hammered and go places all the time when I was in high school, and see it more and more these days (read: I think I'm getting old).

*or maybe he was just an asshole
