A Story about our Stories
I spotted this in the New York Times Magazine from February 10, 2008. The opening line of the article sent me here to post it to our little drinking circle.
Dylan’s home sick today with the flu. He’s sitting here in my office and just told me sadly, “I feel glommy.” I looked up “glommy” on WebMD: nothing. He also mused, “I wonder who invented the idea of barfing in the toilet.” Dylan is very into science and scientists lately, and seems to think barfing-in-the-toilet must have been a Nobel-worthy discovery. Genius!

The Rules
Pick your best drinking story. It may be a personal experience or something you witnessed, but not something you heard from your cousin's best friend's sister's boyfriend about this time they went to 31 Flavors in 1986.
Use as many hyperlinks as you want, but do not embed photos/videos in the narrative.
Post it to the blog and send an email to either Amy or Brave Astronaut.
A Poll will run on the left side of the blog tabulating votes. This poll has been updated throughout the voting process, with the votes cast noted in parentheses.
Tell everybody you know to go to the blog and vote for you. Repeatedly.
If you make it to the Championship Round, you will have the option of going with the story that got you there, or substituting a new one.
