It's not easy..... being green - 3/18/2001

Catch phrases o' last night, baybee:

1. "Well, "cartoon boy," we lubricate things all day long if you think about it"

2. "I put the curse of Curly on you! Woob woob woob woob"

3. "*ka-plink* .... Okay...... that didn't work..... I put the curse of MOE on you!"

4. "THIS ISN"T RIGHT!"

*snickers*

We ended up going to my friend J's house (J from the opening entries) last night to celebrate and convince ourselves we could be Irish and hold our liquor (Lick her?) hush.....

We start the night off with a game of Tetris, some incredible pasta and garrrrrrrlicky bread, and screwdrivers made with lemon-lime (hey, they were green! and surprisingly good..... very refreshing) instead of orange juice...... and slushified with crushed ice and frozen juice just cause it makes it that much more fun to drink and toss at your companions because it comes with spoon included

So we have me (us), my SO, J, J's two girls, my brother B, his wife (another J, hereafter referred to as Brothah B's Woman), a coworker of my SO and our highschool friend (another J, so we'll call him "cartoon boy" from here on out), and his trick of the week...... uh...... shit, another B...... ok, she'll just be called trick of the week *chuckle*

ALL fighting over the Tetris game.....

Then, the girls are set up with a video and some video games and they're good for the night. The game of quarters begins.

(If you've never played quarters before, you take a tumbler, pour a shot of alcohol into it (we were using beer...... we made a mistake using Aftershock once, some of us still can't use cinnamon toothpaste), and bounce a quarter off the table and try to land it in the glass..... if you miss, pass it on, if you make it, you get to choose who takes the shot, if you make three in a row, you not only get the other players royally screwed, but you get to make a "rule"..... which is any damned thing you please.)

The rules we ended up with:

1. You cannot say the D word (meaning drink, drank or drunk or any derivative thereof.... there is ALWAYS someone this rule gets 100%).
2. You cannot say "consume" (this will take down another person or two, as many can only think of so many ways to replace the D word while inebriated)
3. Airballs are partakable (meaning if you do not rimshot the quarter off the glass when you throw, you have to suck that baby down yourself..... when in doubt, just throw it at the glass)
4. You cannot say the F word (meaning you can't enjoy the forbidden use of carnal knowledge or any derivative thereof)

Now, how the catch phrases worked into it.

My Brothah B made 13 shots in a row (he's just THAT badass).

Therefore he was the one to make all the rules. After the first 2 rules, cartoon boy was messing up royally and had a triple shot in the glass in no time flat. I told him to just lubricate himself and get it over with so we could get on with the game. He protested, my SO came up with #1 (as they are mechanics). The Trick is completely smashed (yea, like we were gonna let her drive home...... *smirk* she ended up staying. We don't tolerate D&D). At around 10 in a row, J says #2. 11, #3. I, however, was a cheering section at this point. We then had this esoteric discussion on how the Curses of Curly and Moe only work in pool. Our mistake. Hence the 12th shot and fourth rule. (bastard) Yet, that was made in honor of his beloved Woman...... as that is her favorite word when...... noshed.

Now, you have cartoon boy again..... who has now taken on the Dexter (of Dexter's Laboratory) accent (Brotha B has become French, my other half French as well, and I..... *snickers* have become AGGADOR!), yet is 6'4, with platinum bleeeeached blond hair....... however, he has a hard time remember rules. Within another round of two...... he racked up two full bottles worth of shots he kept breaking the rules. TWO FULL BOTTLES WORTH!

Hence...... the phrase that describes the entire night......

Especially when J, BB's Woman and I painted his toenails.... and, well.... feet.......... silver, orange, purple and black. *snickers*

THIS ISN'T RIGHT!

And I STILL ended up making it to work on time this morning, and was the first keeper there! ha HA I say!
