A thoroughly unpleasant experience...

[Apocalypse]

I'll have just gotten back from being in Virginia for a couple months. I'll be in the mood for southwestern food like southwestern bbq or tex mex honestly.

Not to sound pushy or anything.

Well this time you better show.

I'm sure everyone from Texas knows how it is to be away from Texas food for a long time. I could be very happy with a big enchillada platter or some bbq chicken from a place like Ruby's. You should see what they try to pass as mexican food here. Every now and then I make my own nachos or taco salad or quesadillas to make myself content.

I've just been on the worst date of my entire LIFE!!!

I'd been hitting it off with a chick called Rebecca; she's 23 so a bit older than me, very clever, very attractive, just my kinda girl. We went to a bar, two drinks and she was vomiting like a penguin so I left. Unfortunately, before she started hugging the toilet, we met one of her friends, Sara. I left the bar and went to another. Sara followed me .

This girl was fugly. We're not talking your run-of-the-mill "OMFG I would rather be castrated with a red hot, blunt chisel than hit it with you", we're talking elephant with proteus syndrome ugly. The elephant thing isn't far off, she was HUGE as well, easily over 6 feet tall, built like canary wharf! I was thinking to myself that I had to come up with a damn good excuse otherwise she'd beat me up.

With retrospect, I probably should have just said sorry, we're not clicking, I gotta go; and just walk out. Unfortunately I'm too much of a gentleman to be honest, so I strung it out, she kept ordering drinks on MY tab ( ). Eventually she went to the toilet so I set the alarm on my phone to go off in 10 minutes.

She got back, my phone went off, and I said that I had to go, "my dad's had a heart attack I have to catch a train to London". I thought that would be the end of it but no, she actually wanted to walk me to the train station (about half a mile from where we were) . I mean, how the hell do you get out of something like that? I guess I should have been "cruel to be kind" earlier in the evening. What would be an appropriately incisive thing to say in such a situation.

Now I live in a suburb about 3 or 4 miles south of Northampton, getting back would have been a nightmare and considering that she'd been raping my overdraft enough that evening, I wasn't about to get a taxi, so I bought a ticket to Milton Keynes, and took the bus back up to Northampton which passes close to where I live. £2 cheaper than a taxi .

I feel so socially inept .

no offense, but I thought you were gay. . But funny story. At least from my perspective.

I need to keep track of the gay posters. They need to have their name in purple or something.

Same here. I cook Sundays, and almost always make something mexican. Its great stuff, I know what I make is a poor imitation, but it's still better then what is available here in Canada.

We could always go to Shoal Creek Saloon - great catfish, tuna steak, and various cajun food. Or for Mexican food it's tough to beat Curra's.

Whaleboy, you moron. You left your date puking in the toliet? What the hell were you thinking?

Yeah, that's usually my prompt to seal the deal.

...er...I'm kidding. Really.

Bull****. The mix of stuff in your stomach at that point is certainly hypertonic. Getting rid of it can only help you, especially if you manage to hold down a couple of glasses of water when you're done.

[Jon Miller]

It is usually the water that causes me to throw up

if you throw up after drinking, probably it is good that you are doing so

[KrazyHorse]

Once you've puked a few times you should be able to hold down some water.

On the few occasions I've lost it due to drinking that's been the case. Except for Hallowe'en 2003. I passed out at 3 am. Woke up at 11 am. Puked in my friend's toilet 3 times. Drank a glass of water. Started to walk home (2 blocks away). Puked twice on the walk home. Drank more water when I got home. Crawled into bed. Didn't get up until 9 pm. Legs still rubbery the day after that...

[DaShi]

It's usually getting dragged out of the bar kicking and screaming that causes me to throw up. Or restaurant. Or apartment. Or taxi.

Good times!

[Jon Miller]

Longest I have puked was ~5 hours

than I could hold down water

(1.5 bottles of Jack can mess you up)

[KrazyHorse]

You're ****ing insane. That's close to a lethal dose.

[KrazyHorse]

If I hold myself to 20 drinks or less then I'm usually okay. More than that and things start to get bad.
