"I'll never drink again."
...is the vow I used to take on waking with a hangover.

I don't say that anymore, I've gotten a lot more realistic about my recidivism rate.

But I still make the same vow every time I come back from GD: "I'll never go there again."

And this time I mean it, dammit!!

That place HURTS! :cry:

5. Really?
Well apparently all my buddies in the military are warmongering bloodthirsty lunatic. I did not know that until now. Thank God GD is around to teach us about ourselves.

And makes us look like all the stereotypes the neocons want to paint us with.

29. Oh I dont know
Alot of people flat out told the original poster that the thread was bullshit. He got flattened pretty quick from what I could see. :D

8. Famous last words, eh?
I know the feeling. The only reason I go into GD on level 2 days is for the photo threads from DC.

Otherwise, I lurk. :hide:

11. Afraid of a little GD?
Come on--we all know, even while we're typing, if a post is going to be flamed or not. We all know when we're saying something controversial, so we shouldn't act surprised and hurt when our posts provoke a reaction. Let's be honest with ourselves. (And if we can't do that, we should just stay out of GD)!

23. You can't seriously want to stop drinking!
Alcohol tastes great, makes woman appear more attractive, and makes a person virtually invulnerable to criticism!

25. Homer Simpson said it best:
*while watching Barney's movie about alcoholism*

Homer: I'll never drink a beer again.

Vendor: Beer here!

Homer: I'll take ten!

34. I usually make that vow while I'm still drunk.
As a college student, I get drunk a lot even though I hate it.

One time my friends found me alongside the road nearly a mile away from the party, shirtless, quoting Back to the Future. That's the most recent time I swore to give up drinking.
