the best idea ever is to brag about how great you are

[bluebottle]

take me for instance. i am no worry wart, and i welcome all sorts of liquor into my mouth, and beer and wine too. two mornings past i got tested, severely, moreso than ever - i was groaning and writhing in pain on the BART after drinking in the city. i woke up on a sidewalk in the tenderloin with my glasses lens popped out on the concrete in front of me. not bad for a reckless night. i did not loose a godamned thing but i got the most horrible gut ache i have ever been through,ever. it lasted about six hours or so, and then after i threw up, pissed and shat my pants, it was over. small pennance to pay for such a ..strange night..! this is no normal hangover. i wonder what gave me the ills - and for such a short time. thots?

Bad chemistry twixt food & booze?

[KaosDad]

'twern't the booze that laid you low - you ate something bad or too much of a something. Had the same thing happen after 3 doz raw oysters.

[JohnnyT]

same thing happened to me after i ate about 50 deviled eggs.

In the summer of 2001 I went to the International House of Pancakes for lunch. The name of the establishment isn't a coincidence. These people are proud of their pancakes. Half the menu is dedicated to pancakes. Chocolate chip pancakes, fruit topped pancakes, short stacks, tall stacks and the ever popular "rooty tooty fresh and fruity". Their niche in the food service biz is pretty fucking apparent, is it not? Then why the fuck did I walk into the International House Of PANCAKES and order the chicken alfredo? If anyone answered, "because you're a moron" then you are 100% correct.

Twelve hours later, my body was ejecting fluids from every available oriface at breakneck speeds. There's nothing quit like vomiting in your lap because standing and turning around to vomit in the toilet would mean shitting on the bathroom wall behind you. All this lasted for about 12 really long hours.

So when people ask me, "Have you ever had food poisoning?" I say, "Yes, but it was my own damn fault. I went to IHOP and ordered chicken." Then they say, "Dude....you're a moron." And I reply, "Yes, yes, so I've heard."

There's a moral here and that moral is, if you go to a restaurant, order what they're proud of. If you got to Joe's Crab Shack, get the crab. Paul's BBQ, get the fucking BBQ. If you're going to be a moron, like me, and order the steak at a sushi joint, then you deserve what's coming to you.

A painful but important lesson. My worst ever was caused by a 7-11 microwave burrito. I guess I had it coming, too...

There's a place here called Dogtown that specializes in, you guessed it, hot dogs. Rochester is known for great dogs, i.e. Zweigle's, so I ordered the pulled pork. Explosive ejections from both ends.

You spent the night passed out on a sidewalk in the tenderloin and lived to post about it?

"Tenderloin? There's nothing tender about that place. I've never seen crack smoked so openly before."

[Frankennietzsche]

It's all because of all of your ingestion of the man-chowder.

Tenderloin, indeed. Ha ha!

i am pushing my luck for sure. this has happened on more than one occassion - one time i lost my upper teeth in the bushes somewhere in chinatown, and i was forced to go back to li po to beg two dollars to get home without my front top teeth. speaking to pretty bartenders without those makes it unpleasurable, especially to borrow money for the train ride home. and hiding the urine stained pants was a chore too. thank god for my leather jacket. personally, i think my gut ache was a curse sent upon me for having too much fun. but i got wise and puked and shat out the curse. isn't it amazing how when you have ate nothing all night you still manage to puke out water? weird.

Well, now you've set a new standard. You have something to beat. A higher power's way of telling you to reach your true potential.

Food poisoning.

I was on a gig in Buffalo, went to a bar to watch the hockey game. There was an Indian there BTW,* bronzest man I've ever seen. My friends warned me to watch out if he got drunk, but I bought him beers and he was OK. Anyway, I had a grinder, and the next morning I was violently ill. There are nine openings in my body counting my eyes, and I had something heaving out of each of them. I was living in a college dorm and running from the sink to the head alternatively getting liquid and exploding. It lasted about 4 hours and I missed a morning's work. I got in trouble with the home office, someone was supposed to take over my dorm room, and my car died. I never went back to that bar, and things have been all right since.

* I mention that b/c he, you, and a guy from my home town are the only NDNs I've met.
