Ah, Whiskey! Bringer of good times and killer hangovers. I'd drink whiskey to girlgun's health, but all I have in the house is white wine. Sod it, I'll drink a toast to her with that instead *slurps*

in other words, she met her maker (satan).

yes. that's exactly right, although makers and i are on a first name basis.

and thanks, melly! it wasn't even a birthday gathering. my longest and dearest friend had me and 3 boys we used to hang with in high school over for a BBQ last night.

...it's a birthday ruiner.

!! thanks!!

i'm wondering if some more whiskey would actually fix me.

now is the time for a whiskey sour.

made with real lemons, not that chemical "sour mix" shit.

It probably would.

But just one. Or two.

yes. maybe i will order one at dinner.

that's the problem. once i start, i can't stop. clapclap.

^^^Sounds like Pringles, heh heh. Whiskey can be very moreish like that, you can drink it and get hammered, with the "oh crap, I'm gonna be sick" vibes of yer lagers.

beer before liquor and you'll never be sicker.

Doing the "wine/beer/liquor/oh never mind, just give me anything" thing definitely is not a winner, too. Why I did that on my mate's stag do, I've no idea - oh hang on, I do: I was merry from the start.

girlgun - Did your fella get you anything nice for your birthday?

beer before grass, on yer ass. grass before beer, in the clear.

see i learned stuff in australia

i learned that the hard way

ie by passing out on the ground in a parking lot

beer before wine is fine. wine before beer, oh dear. tequila before both, good grief.

just my two cents.

happy birthday, girlgun!!

oh i did too... i sat in my backyard at 3 am one night... for 2 hours... by myself because i couldn't see straight... i thought i was outside for like 15 minutes... yeah never again

I usually have to drink the same thing more or less over a single night or I'll throw up. Otherwise I'm alright.

i also puked all over the side of my friend's car and they had to clean it off with water balloons.

ah the exploits of silly 15 year olds. thank god i've learned my way around that stuff since then.

i puked all over this tarp that was shading a garden

tsk tsk tsk

ignorance is not always bliss.

That phrase only counts if you remain ignorant afterwards.

I once (when I was 19?) had too many Guinnesses and a very-hastily eaten kebab, and ended up doing a projectile vomit all over my (white) bedroom walls. Ma Melly was not impressed...

well i suppose not, if she had to clean it up.

i would have made YOU clean it up if i was your mum!

I DID clean it up myself! (not easy when you're totally smashed) - I can still remember trying not to honkl again as I picked up bits of Guinessy meat. The most embarrasing thing was that she took the piss out of me afterwards, then my little sister and brother joined in. I had no answer to that, so I went and sulked like a girl :D

haha that's a good story

once i had to have my mum come pick me up from my friend's house because we drank WAY too much and i was sick and neither of us were going to drive me home...
so i got in the car and she goes "have you been drinking?"
and i go "why?" (even though i was obviously cunted)
"because i smell booze"
and i say the stupidest thing you could ever possibly say, being that we were the only two in the car..."on who?"

she didn't care that i was drunk, she was pissed off because she had to get off her ass and come get me!

lol

^^^ That's hilarious! I nearly dropped my ciggie on my keyboard. I had a similar experience coming back from a Halloween do when was I 16 - I was staggering up to bed, and Mum Melly jumped out on me (argh!) and said "YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING, HAVEN'T YOU?".

haha i think i would piss myself laughing if my mum jumped out at me like that.

mum melly sounds awesome

Hahaha. I can't help but wonder if her jumping out at you was really more like "standing there the whole time". You know, when you're drunk it's hard to tell.

Another story - the last time I was in Melbourne, a mate of mine was getting "friendly" with a girly, so I departed the flat with a carrier bag full of lager and cigs, went to the local car park, and started ringing up everyone I knew, saying "Arrgh, I'm having a great time over here, uh, Merry Xmas arrgh". Up till 6 am I was (watching the sun come up in Melbourne was v cool, though).

Mum Melly rocks. Mum Melly likes T Rex and 70's soul music and The Carpenters.

Happy Birthday Bitch.

mum melly is even cooler than cantankermum!

GASP!!!

even if it's too late, congratulations anyway!

Happy belated birthday you foxy thang ;)

Mum Melly and Cantankermum should meet. They'd have a blast.

i bet they would. talking about their ill behaved children over tea.

"Ooh, you wouldn't believe the crap Melly used to listen to"
"MUMMM!"
"Ooh, the way he used to drink, too!"

the "crap you used to listen to" is probably what my mum used to listen to, ha!
