Time-Traveling

Penguin Incarnate

You guys are the worst drunks.

When I get good and soused, I just get really snippy and impatient, where as you guys seem to be a walking argument for temperance.

MereHappenstance

We make up for it in dance moves.

Zonugal

At least we aren't boring drunks P_I!!!!

Penguin Incarnate

If being boring means not living in a world tie-dyed with puke, then I guess I'm just a boring guy, ZONUGAL.

Zonugal

That happens to be my exact definition of a boring world.

Balefuego

I have never gotten drunk enough to puke

I am pretty ok with that life choice

Zonugal

I have yet to vomit on somebody while drunk.

One of these days maybe that dream will come true...

MereHappenstance

Does vomiting on yourself count?

I've puked a few times when I was a young teen. My favorite time was when some 20 something girl challenged me to some kind of drink off. Bacardi, Johnny Walker, Cuervo and a ton of beer was drunk by both of us. She passed out and I projectile vomited all over her face. I was then forced out of the house due to the police being out front and me being underage.

It was cool because one of the cops gave me a ride home. I waited until I was out of his cruiser to puke again. I'm a classy dude you see.

when I get super drunk, I get very amicable, very platonically touchy. It seems as though I usually want everyone I'm with to be doing the same thing together. I'm always really worried in the morning, but apparently I just get super laid-back and funny and super affectionate. No one can do wrong by drunk-me. Then as the night peters out, I seem to always call a girl, which is the one thing that I would be more than happy to fix -- but, from now on, I'll just leave my phone at home when I go to drink!

I go out of my way to not drink with folks like Zonugal, though

On a side-note, I've never been to a multi-day convention without getting so hammered I vomit everywhere and pass out.


PAX will be no different.

Zonugal

I am fountain of class.

Penguin Incarnate

In all of the times I've vomited while drunk or while hungover, I've only missed a toilet/trashcan/red cup/strategically placed box once in my life.

Charles Kinbote

I don't think I've ever thrown up inside while drunk

I am really, really good at going out to take walks when I'm trashed enough that I might throw up

good on me, I guess

I'll probably have to change this habit if I ever live in the city

Zonugal

I haven't vomited in almost 11 years while sober.

But when I am drunk things just like erupting out of all orifices.

Tommy2Hands

fuck blackouts

god fuck them so much

Antimatter

you people

Macro9

It took me years to build an acceptable tolerance to alcohol. Too bad for me because I was a straight up drunk by then. It took me years to shake my binging.

I would like to think that some day I could just drink in moderation but that's just the addict in the back of my heading talking.

Penguin Incarnate

Way back before I figured out that I couldn't get drunk and smoke cigarettes in the same night I was at a dorm party in San Diego.

I got pretty hammered pretty fast, but nothing so drastic that I couldn't walk or carry on a conversation. I probably couldn't operate any heavy machinery, though. Anyways, I start smoking a cigarette when all of the sudden The Fear hits me. I'm dizzy as hell and I know I've got second to get off of the patio, through the living room and into the bathroom. It shouldn't have been that hard. It was probably twenty-five feet and the place wasn't super crowded.

I walk to the bathroom, which is one of those large group bathrooms that all dormrooms on the face of the planet have. There was probably three or four toilets, two showers, and probably two sinks. I go over to the door and find out that it's locked.

Some asshole locked the group bathroom to take a whiz. And I have to vomit. Also, I'm sure other people have to pee, which was far more foreseeable than me having to up chuck.

I start looking around for something to puke in, because this train isn't stopping for anyone. I round the corner away from the bathroom and the kitchen and I find an empty box in the hallway. I puke into the box and make a bee line out of the party.

Which is really just the beginning of a long evening and a serious lesson in drinking.

Also, let this be a lesson to everyone who is involved in a communal living situation: Don't be a fucking cunt and lock the door because you're going to drop your pants. That's what stalls are for.

YoSoyTheWalrus

Surreptitious puking is the way to go. This is how I survive on the bad nights and also how I look like I am less of a pussy than I really am.

"Oh, I'm going to go get another beer," I say. Go and find a deserted trashcan or, failing that, drag a trashcan to a deserted place. Destroy it. Go get a beer and rejoin the group. Rinse and repeat. It's glorious.

e not for whoever has to collect the trashbags.

Zonugal

That's a solid plan except I can never bring myself to willingly vomit.

MereHappenstance

Then they'll bring in the Hardy Boys to solve the case of the trashbag vomiter.

Penguin Incarnate

Then there was the time at Comic Con where I had to walk a mile and a half uphill while drunk out of my mind and puking the entire way to my hotel.

Zonugal

See P_I, some parts of your life aren't boring.

Charles Kinbote

thursday night was the second 'en bloc' blackout of my entire life, and the first that didn't result in my underage ass being arrested

I'm disappointed that it only took 13 drinks, on account of I had a 24-drink night in Spain with no memory loss, but I guess that's what happens when you go all day and only eat a salad

130lb white boys what what

Zonugal

The first time I ever drank alcohol I lined my stomach with five sausages.

I drank like a champ that evening.

Charles Kinbote

first time I really drank alcohol (like, with friends, not a glass of wine at the dinner table) I did not have my "sea legs"

Penguin Incarnate

So that's how the Germans do it!

Bedlam

Man you kids are crazy.

Ive never puked or blacked out from drinking too much.

And I can remember everything I did the next day!

MereHappenstance

I used to have a ritual of eating jack in the box before going out to drink so I wouldn't get sick or too hammered.

It also made it harder/more expensive to get drunk because I had food in my stomach, so naturally the ritual had to go.

Penguin Incarnate

And then another time at Comic Con I got drunk with Borfase and Simon Bisley and some German writer at an Irish pub.

And has been replaced by chips & dip, as always provided by me.

Bedlam

Also zonugal if I find your ass passed out at PAX I am totally going to shave that 'stache

This is your fair warning.

If you approach me with a blade, get your ass ready to be molested.

This is your fair warning.

MereHappenstance

I'll be there with a camera to prove that it happened.

Tommy2Hands

or both

Bedlam

so we have ourselves a mexican standoff?

excellent

Tommy2Hands

The Science of Back To The Future

However, there’s a much smaller--though fundamentally difficult--caveat to time travel that’s always kinda’ bothered me. With the notable exceptions of Doctor Who and Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, the spatial aspects of time travel are almost universally overlooked when characters decide to go gallivanting through temporal mayhem. I was reminded when questioned by a fellow OTI™ writer in a recent email; so as to protect his/her (statistically: his) anonymity, I’ll keep the author’s identity a secret :

In fact, in order to pull off the kind of time travel we see in the Back To The Future trilogy--the kind where the traveler is transposed in time, but remains stationary in the same relative position to where he/she left--the DeLorean would have to be an outstanding space ship, in addition to its already laudable work as a time-ship.
