I posted it here cuz I thought it was funny, but if Xepher wants to take it away, I totally understand.

So, I've had a long day student teaching, and decide to treat myself. Well, I'll pretend to treat myself as there is no proper liquor store in this two-bit town. I decide I will have a glass (or two) of Boone's farm. And I am civilized now, so I will get an actual glass versus the old college method of swigging straight from the bottle. I open the cupboard and there it is. My brother's Veggie Tales cup that he stole from me. I couldn't help myself. I had to do it. The French Peas told me too.
So, I was wondering. What's the silliest similar thing everyone here has done? It doens't have to involve alcohol, as I know not all of us are of age, but I'm just curious. Meanwhile, the French Peas and I will go back to our pretend Blue Hawaiian.
Heheh... Definitely has to be one time checking out of the grocery store in college. It was a thursday night, the main party night at my school (we're slackers... friday is part of the weekend) and I'm checking out with a four-pack of Guinness draught, a six-pack of Paulaner Hefe-Weizen, a bottle of Arogant Bastard Ale ("You're Not Worthy!"), and the Lion King on DVD. Never have I seen more confusion on someone's face when they're trying to decide if they need to ask for ID. :-)
Oh, and Blue Hawaian? Is that Coconut Rum + Blue Caraco + Sprite?
I have no idea what it is. All I know is that it tastes Hawaiian-y and it a lovely shade of blue. It's the only thing I drink that I don't know what goes in it.
What if whoevers reading this comes from a place where 18 is the legal age to drink? did ya think about that!? HUH HUH!?
:p
Well, what if they're from someplace where there is no drinking age? I just put up the warning because the teacher inside me said too.
Drinking age should be defined as "Can you see over the bar to order?" Or maybe just a "You must be this tall to enter" sign by the door. :-)

I was just joshin with ya :p
or one should be able to have parental consent to drink out in public. Then I'd be good :)
what? I have odd parents.
Hey, that's legal in WI. if you have your parents with you, they can buy you drinks. My mom used to see her students at the bars. Course, they were always there with the parentals, so my mom starting hunting for this in order to get the parental part of IEPs written more quickly.
.. JEEZ I suddenly wanna be american :(
Underage drinking is pretty much ignored in WI. Simply because cops have no interest in trespassing on a farmer's field late at night when it's cold.
I can't really give a good example of the SILLIEST thing I've done, but it would probably involve something with me and bugs and me hopping on tables/chairs/the like.
Of course...if you're wanting something where I was actually drunk and silly...well, I don't remember any of it, but apparently there's some videos of my acts online...somewhere. I don't know quite where, I just know that it was the pass-around link for a good week or two after it happened.
thank goddess most of my friends don't have webspace and the desire to fill it with stupid things I've done. I suck at keeping myself respectable after a few drinks.
Well, I originally came from southwest Ohio, which is the per-capita drinking capitol of the world. Needless to say, I've done many a stupid thing. My favorite was graduation night, walking out the door with several smuggled bottles of Seagrams 7 and Smirnoff, 2 steps onto the porch I trip and the bottles roll out in front of me parents : )
You know you're from ohio when that just gets laughed off.
Per-capita maybe... but for the alcohol-per-square-foot record, you have to go to College Station, Texas (where I went to college) and visit The Dixie Chicken. It's also the No. 1 college bar in the world according to Playboy. (Yes, you have to read the articles to find that out.)
I don't know if I could keep a straight face walking into a place called the "Dixie Chicken"
Well, if it helps, it's been around (and named that) way longer than that lame psuedo-country band.
the town I grew up in was in the guiness book of world records for "Most bars in a square mile" and "most brandy consumed per capita." I know exactly what square mile they're talking about cuz I barhopped it once with my father (I was seven), and I'm fairly certain that my grandmother is a heavy contributor to the brandy one.
