Random Rants XIX: Failure Tactics

I'm drinking again today. That's the best way to cure a hangover.

Can't have a hangover if you're still drunk bro.

Completely false. A hangover is acetaldehyde poisoning, which is the chemical your body turns ethanol into before it becomes harmless acetic acid. If the body runs out of the enzyme that turns acetaldehyde into acetic acid, then the poison lingers in your body, and the symptoms of that poisoning are what we identify as a "hangover." The hangover goes away after your body makes more of the necessary enzyme, which takes several hours.

So, drinking more does not make a hangover better, and you can absolutely be both hungover and drunk at the same time. Given the above information, I'm sure you can see why reaching such a state is a horrifically stupid thing to do.

Get back to me when they start using their feet more. Until then, it's "handegg".

The hand of the player is on the egg-shaped object. Hand. Egg.

The same could be said for your other "uber-sport", "rugby".

Spoiler :

I've probably kicked myself in the a by posting this, but oh well.

Rugby is ownage. I used to play.

Apparently the best course of action for a spamvertising thread is posting in it.

I used this method to cure my new years eve hangover. Worked like a charm.

Yea well rugby doesnt have the words foot nor ball in it's title. The pansified american version does - so untill you change it's name to something apropriate it's handegg.

I can't wait for the ankle sphere World Cup next year. Even if interest in anklesphere will only drop off precipitously after the US fails to make it out of group play

Your girlfriend's step dad walking into the room when you're doing "stuff" with said girlfriend is quite the mood killer.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Can't you lock the door?

Trying to compensate for those 4 days spent without her, huh?

Nonsense, the mastery comes with figuring out just how much drink your body can handle, just how long it takes to replenish itself for another liver-walloping, and ride that line like a mother. Once you've done that, you get to enjoy being quite drunk for long periods of time, and never have to deal with a hangover.

 

[Karalysia]

Its too late, I've bought 3 packs of beer and I and some mates will drink it shortly. This is life.

You could, you know, not drink it..

 

[Karalysia]

Sir, you have made my monocle pop out in shock at the outrageousness of your suggestion.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

You should go out, buy eighteen cornish hens, put a beer can in the middle of each of them, cook them, then deliver the delectably juicy birds to seventeen homeless people, and eat the last as a victory dinner.
