Lawn Chair Basketball
This weekend I went to visit my “career alcoholic” best friend. The thing I love most about hanging out with drunken people is their ability to say, “Yes” to anything you ask them with no hesitation or thought process at all.
Here’s an example, “Hey, can we take your lawn chairs and play basketball with them?” “Uheeesss…” “Is that a yes?” “Uhesssss”.
Game on!
Sadly the game ended in a one to one tie. All the chairs were broken before a winner could be decided.
Egg On!

That’s the beautiful thing about being a career alcoholic; you can’t find a reason to say no to anything. If it seems like a good idea at the time, then it’s just a good idea. I love invented games!
I’d say Barty, based solely on his ego. After that fucker climbed the rubber tree plant, that ant tried to have his legs in every piece of the entertainment pie. Remember, he tried to pursue a rap career, but ended up be dangled from a 2ft porch step by Suger, The Praying Mantis?

Scott Oglesby, “That’s the beautiful thing about being a career alcoholic” that’s just something you’d think you’d never hear in a life time, (even if it’s out of context).

Nice shot, RR. Too bad about the tie, which will keep drunken sports from ever being accepted by the IOC. That and the random rule changes. (“Rule change! Next one who misses the shot glass has to take a shot of Tabasco in their nose! Topless!”)
I used to be a career alcoholic, but I decided that wasn’t the fast track towards full-blown “Leaving Las Vegas”-style alcoholism. I was kind of unsure which path to stumble down, but the good people at AA talked me right out of a career.
Their severance package sucks. “All the cheap coffee you can stomach?” The fuck is that?
Riddle answer: I see FJ and raise him a “Gig-ant.” (I’ll send the missing syllable C.O.D.)

Capitalist Lion Tamer, I’m glad you found help, hope and higher grade coffee. Guess I won’t be seeing you in AA then?

And if you have a pool you get extra points for jumping off the roof, through the hoop and into the pool with no splash
