7 Things I Learned This Weekend That Have Nothing To Do With Self Esteem

by Miss Britt on August 17, 2009

Because my God I am tired of looking at that other post.

1.  The words “another round” are from Satan himself.

2.  Especially when they are said by someone else and yet, somehow, include you.

3.  Especially if you do not drink as much – or as quickly – as the person saying “another round” who is, somehow, including you.

4.  Just because there is another drink in front of you does not mean it is a good idea to hurry up and finish the drink you are not even half way through because oh my God I don’t want to waste food!

5.  Diet Coke and Bacardi Limon should probably not be considered “food”.

6.  You should always, always pee before you leave the bar.

miss-britt-and-disney-on-twitter7.  It is always, always possible to sink to a new low.

    Sigh. This post takes me back a decade (okay, two) to when we had regular “Piss Stops” just off the highway on our route back from Windsor, Ontario (where the drinking age was 19) to our Detroit suburb (drinking age was 21).

    They weren’t gas stations. I don’t know why we picked them. But we were nothing if not consistent in our selections.

    @Christine, the consistency is impressive. I don’t think I’ve ever popped a squat in the same place twice.

    Oh dear…..
    I think I should copy your post and carry it around on a card with me whenever I go out, exchanging diet coke & barcardi limon (never heard of it) for wine, any colour and champagne.
    I’m glad it’s not just me……I hope you managed to have a good time as well though? LOL

    On Disney property though, instead of saying it was an embarrassing event, say you were protesting the high prices. Fist in the air, pee pee on their land. Hooah!

    If by ‘Disney property’ you meant Princess Jasmine, I wouldn’t call it a new low. I’d call it the hottest human-cartoon interaction since Eddie Valiant hit his head on Jessica Rabbit’s boobs while pulling up his pants.

    A long time ago when I was still very single and barely 21- I was back home (which, now, ironically is just “home”) visiting…after a “night on the town”, a friend of mine was driving me home and I had to pee. So she found a “sort of” back road (it was gravel but close-ish to town) and I peed on the side of the road. A cop came along midstream and stopped to check to see what we were doing (duhhh). ANYWHOO we actually ended up in COURT over the deal — my peeing. Oh yes indeed we did.

    And also? That cop now works part time for the police department where my husband is the chief of police. Oh the irony.

    I peed on a church yesterday. Yeah, *on* a church, on a Sunday. Luckily it was a 7th day adventist church, and I’m pretty sure they do their churchy thing on Saturdays. Well. I hope so anyway.

    What? I’d just had 1/2 a bottle of cheap wine in a storm drain with my brother. I had to pee.

    The bathroom is always the last stop. I’m pretty sure you’ll never forget THAT rule again.
    Now that I’m able to get out and drink more often, my body has betrayed me by becoming OLD… and completely losing it’s tolerance for alcohol.
    I might be a lightweight (now) but at least I’m a cheap date :)

    I peed on the side of the road during a hurricane evacuation because I had been in the car for 9 hours and couldn’t take it anymore. There were no trees in sight, just miles and miles of Georgia highway and about 25 other people doing the same thing. The boy managed to hold it for the 19 hours it took us to get to Atlanta and I still don’t know how he did that.

    I think you should sue Disney for Failure To Deliver World Class Customer Service by suggesting to you that you pee before you left the bar that is on their property. That’d be fun.

    @Poppy, welllll… technically the bar wasn’t on their property. The hotel we were going to AFTER the bar was.

    I did manage not to pee anywhere outside of a bathroom though! Whew!
