Important discoveries

1. Drunk people really do act like that.

I somehow managed to get through college without ever having been exposed to people getting drunk. Mostly I just saw the after-effects, generally in the person of my freshman-year roommate who’d get out of class early on Fridays, already be sleeping off his first drunk of the night when I got in, and then would recover sometime in the evening and head out for more. I still have no idea how the traffic cone got there.

Today a bunch of us got together for bigscary’s birthday (which had been on Thursday), at a place which serves not only big servings of southern food but also massive drinks. Really massive. The one they were working on when I got there (late) was served in a fishbowl. The later one was served in a 2.5-gallon jar, and could only be ordered by parties of at least eight. I imbibed some, but stayed well within my (as yet undetermined, and after tonight I’m happy to leave them that way) limits.

So, discovery time. Y’know how drunks act in comedy movies? Turns out they really act like that. Who knew? I’d always thought it was comedic exaggeration. We had one guy who became the I Really Love You Man drunk, a classic of many films, skits, and cartoons. Another became the Alternately Angry And Morose Drunk, eventually turning into the Unconscious Drunk, which would have been fine if he hadn’t woken up as the Copiously Vomiting Drunk. Really, really copiously. We left at that point. The manager told him he was never allowed back, and he transformed into Uncoordinated Staggering Drunk while being helped over to BigScary’s nearby apartment.

2. Overbite is Weasel.

I mentioned the other day that I couldn’t find issue #6 of Dave Cooper’s Weasel? I stopped in at Jim Hanley’s to check for it, and saw Cooper’s new art book, Overbite: Drawings & Paintings of Mostly Pillowy Girls. I browsed through it, but figured I’d hold off and buy it at Cosmic (where it’ll count towards an accumulation of store credit) next week, and made do with a copy of the Bulletproof Monk TPB. But while browsing around, I discovered through the Reverse Cowgirl blog that Overbite is Weasel #6! Mystery solved. Mmmm, naked pillowy women....

Pillowy women. :D I hadn't heard that one before. Plush. I've always liked the term, plush. But Pillowy is a pretty good second. ;)

"Plush" makes me think they oughta be covered with very dense hair. Not my kink; I like 'em smooth. Though I like the connotations of softness, and lushness.

Yeah, for some reason "plush" only indicates soft and lush to me - I guess cause I always had "stuffed" animals, not plush animals. :)
