War Room OT Discussion v3

[Limbo Pete]

It's a big country. I spent time in the South. Only military I saw was trying to get to Goa. We were all crammed in a car and got stopped. It was late and a long day of travel. The dudes with guns seemed to be trying to get us to turn around and that would have seriously fucked our plans. Next thing I know the mother-in-law starts scolding them in one of the 100 dialects and I was like oh fuck, we gonna get shot. I don't think they understood her and she didn't understand them, but the let us through. That's the one time I was thankful for her...disposition.

Yeah that shit is super sketch. The only time we got any real static from them was in the goddamn airport though. Gave the wife a smooch goodbye (separate flights) and turned to see the guards absolutely menacing us lol. Hands on the guns, scowling worse than Mr. Burns. Then they just kept staring.

 

[Limbo Pete]

There was one bottle I wasn't sure of. Can't recall if I tempted fate and drank it anyway.

How was camel-jockeying? I'm still holding a grudge against the species after one time this camel at a renaissance festival went for my beer and spilled it all over.

It was a lot of fun. Rode way out into the literal middle of nowhere. Those fuckers are ornery, that's for sure.

In a pinch you probably could have disappeared in the sea of humanity.

But really we're gonna need pics of wife in order to properly judge this story.

Something tells me you'd share if she looked like that.

After my dark days getting backtraced on offshoot sites?
Nope nope nope.

Did someone ruin your credit or something?

I was examining the seal on every bottle of water. But mostly I drank beer.

We were at a place that had these awesome (non-alcoholic) drinks. Forget exactly what they were, but you could get 'em with fizzy or flat water. Some (me included) went fizzy. A couple others went flat. I enjoyed mine so much at the end of the meal one of the flat orderers asked if I wanted to finish theirs. As I was about to suck it down I thought to myself (knowing it wasn't the same) that it might ruin the good taste I had going in my mouth. So I put it down. Well, that night and the next day or so those two were halfway to death. And that was the day we hit the Taj. Bullet dodged.

Heh. I ran head first into that bullet in Africa. The place we were staying had filtered water for the most part, but someone fucked up one night with the water used for food prep. So I (and half the other people there) got the evil shits for a few days.
I was worthless for a day and miserable for another.

Sorry to hear that. Hope the trip was otherwise a...blast.

I prepared for the journey by fortifying my ass with a horseshoe.

No, but you'd be amazed and horrified with the lengths some crazy internet people will go to over a grudge.

Depends on the day. I'm an optimistic misanthrope.

So what was the worst of it?

 

[Trotsky]

Imagine putting a glass to your lips and then deciding not to take a sip. That's literally how close I came.

Before I realized you were speaking literally, I thought this was meant to be an analogy to how close you came to diarrhea-ing yourself, and it was a brilliant analogy for holding the line on the cusp.

That was in the past, bud. I've been losing weight and have a much better attitude. I've left all of that behind me. About to have the sickest prime rib with my hot girlfriend. Okay it's roast beef and she's more like my cousin, but the point is that we're all buds here and I changed my ways. Did somebody call and threaten you at work? I don't know anything about that.


Hey btw I found this in my drawer

You can steal it for future use and take all the credit. It's cool.

I think in the end at least 3 people were personally harassed, two at work. Maybe more who just didn't want to make a scene of it. And poor Tardzilla lost his fucking mind. Those places get real inbred real fast. Bless our chubby scapegoat.

 

[Black Helicopters]

I totally found a fake sealed bottle of water lol. It was complementary with the camel ride. I've seen how swiftly that diarrhea can hit, and the thought of it happening while atop a camel in the middle of the fucking desert was horrific.
Bullet definitely dodged.

Damn, I was gonna ask you guys why not just buy bottled water? Damn not even that's safe

Are bullet-points of the story too much to ask for?

Who was the dude who posted pictures of his food and bragged about being so rich that he could afford having fish twice in a week? Was that Hans Gruber?

Bless our chubby scapegoat.

May he choke on his brisket, amen
