Title: 72 shooters? Surely I jest...
Post by: diamondgeezer on October 16, 2003, 05:57:15 am
OK, just in case any one was worried that I'd died I thought I'd relate to you the events of Tuesday night. I got obscenely drunk and tipped a pint of water in to the open side of my tower. The computer will not now switch on, so methinks I'm looking at a new mobo or summat... so there you go. Hopefully I'll be back up in a few days...

Oh, and prior to breaking the computer I got rugby tackled on to the edge of the bottom stair, and now my back's so FUBARed that I'm off work. Thus how I'm going to pay for these replacement bits is beyond me...

Now, who's comming to the pub?

this reminds me of a rather dirty joke, select to view:

Spoiler:

a guy walks up to his boss, and complains about a sore back. the boss replies: "if i ever have back problems, i let my wife give me a good blowjob, and it will all be over in notime."

the next day, the guy goes back to his boss. the boss asks:
"did it help?"
"no, but i sure like the way you live!"

I'm suprised no-one else has brought this up but in my book, obscenely drunk does not make me jump for joy at pouring water into an electrical device, let alone my beloved computer.

It was that Davey boy wasn't it. are you being bullied in school. If so tell me or I shall have to come to the school myself and neither of us want that let me assure you.

I'm still shocked about that having a pint of water when you're obscenely drunk.

Its quite odd that I was drinking on Tuesday night. I do not remember anything of vivid detail, but I know Wednesday morning in the uni office was not fun. :nervous:

Suppossedly to prevent hangovers.
Title: 72 shooters? Surely I jest...
Post by: IceFire on October 16, 2003, 04:07:50 pm
Yup...apparently hangovers are caused by the massive amounts of alchohaul still in your system essentially causing dehydration.  So drink water...but it'll need to be lots.
Title: 72 shooters? Surely I jest...
Post by: vyper on October 16, 2003, 04:13:04 pm
It doesn't work. You have to drink the water after each drink of alcohol for it to really work.
Title: 72 shooters? Surely I jest...
Post by: pyro-manic on October 16, 2003, 04:20:36 pm
Yeah, as in about 4/5 pints. Depends how blasted you get, and what you're drinking. If you're drinking beer, then you wouldn't need as much as if you'd been drinking Jack Daniel's all night.

Well when DG came onto MSN that night, he was on about schnapps, from what I could make out...
Title: 72 shooters? Surely I jest...
Post by: kode on October 16, 2003, 05:02:44 pm
I know about the water trick. according to the "experts" (yes, we actually have lectures on drinking at my uni), it works if you drink a lot just before you go to bed. however, I don't really get hungover as in headache (that is caused by dehydration. I get headaches when I'm dehydrated because of heat etc though). today I had some throatache tho. nothing some water and a couple of mints couldn't cure.

but I wonder why my leg still hurts.

you know one way to prevent getting drunk/hung over is to drink milk vefore you drink, or eat lot's of brwon bread.

also, if tyou take a small drink in the morning i hear you prevent getting hung over all to bad.

Adventure. To find out where, and indeed who,  you are when you come round.
Title: 72 shooters? Surely I jest...
Post by: Setekh on October 18, 2003, 05:22:41 am
I have to agree. I've never even tried, though. I've seen friends do it, had to stop them from getting run over... that wasn't pretty. :p

Well... I can have adventures while I'm completely sober. As an added bonus, I actually remember them. ;)

There are other meanings for the word Ether.

2 a : a medium that in the wave theory of light permeates all space and transmits transverse waves
3 a : a light volatile flammable liquid C4H10O used chiefly as a solvent and anesthetic b : any of various organic compounds characterized by an oxygen atom attached to two carbon atoms

Snorting any form of alcohol is painful. Alcohol is a necessary evil, it weeds out the dumbest of the dumb, like when we made a line of sugar and told my friend it was cocaine and he wondered for a few days afterwards why everytime he snorted in it tasted sweet.

but, ehrrr... a lot of members are under-aged, and some are totally absent, so it might be a lot cheaper actually.

Under-aged? What's the meaning of this heresy?

Under-aged? And which society are we using as the standard?

Vasudan society, I reckon.

Ok, is there a point left to this thread?

Um... It's all for the good of humanity.


Yes.

If this thread didn't exist, I would be dead now. The humour contained within these sacred pages has enabled me to struggle on through this world of piss and vinegar. Thankyou thread, thankyou.

Here's something more then. For the second time in the past few weeks, the college bus has failed to turn up, leaving myself and my associates to stand about in sub-zero temperatures, in the vain hope that it will arrive. Suffice to say, we soon got pissed off and went home, where I am now.
So there.

You think if teh loan was that big I'd be working for the uni as well as studying there? I lose valuable drinking and pool time every day! (and time for my c/w of course... :nervous: )

I might just afford a Caley Swally (served in the Caley union, all four sq. feet of it)...

I'm at Bristol University.  My loan wasn't even enough to cover the accommodation fees...

But I've been 18 since July 13th, and I've been at Uni for over 3 weeks, and I've not touched a drop of alcohol.  Reason: I just don't see the point.

Very funny.

It's amazing how far money goes at Uni when you don't go to pubs or nightclubs.

Depends on why you're at University.

Are you suggesting that people go to Uni to study?
Title: 72 shooters? Surely I jest...
Post by: Descenterace on October 22, 2003, 12:17:13 pm
Of course not.  I'm going to Uni so that I've got some peace and quiet away from my parents so I can work on Descent 4.

Alcohol would get in the way of that.  Besides, I tend to do stupid things without the assistance of excessive amounts of beer...

I haven't spent that much on alcohol under my few months at uni. evil expensive books takes all my money (except the several heaps of them that went to pay my new, shiny tungsten t3 handheld computer).

oh, and please stop posting here and everywhere else, I need to do some studying now.

So why limit yourself? Imagine what you would be capable of with excessive amounts of beer!

D4 is coming on very nicely, btw.  Still trying to design a workable scripting system (probably a cross between DromEd triggers and FS SEXPs), but the animation system is perfect.  I'm using matrix blending to make joints smooth, so the models won't be made up of tenuously-connected solid blocks unless designed that way.  Vertex and Pixel Shader encapsulaton classes are nearly finished.

Currently, I'm spending more time on my Computer Science programming project.  I'm aiming for the 90% marks level.  40% is a pass, 70% is an excellent pass, and 90% is extremely rare.  Looked at the spec and thought: "damn, this is easy."  It's a program to take a boolean expression and turn it into either a binary or n-ary tree in memory, then simplify it.  Part 2 (which comes a lot later) involves printing out a circuit diagram for the expression.
90% level is expected to involve 200 programming hours.  I've got something working (doesn't simplify yet, though) in 10 hours.

Anyway, back on topic.
