Conquest of the Planet of the Bride of the Son of the Return of the Open Bar

[Lenin McCarthy]

Just finished one of the funner school projects I've had in a while. At 7.30 this morning, we set up a sound system at the train station, played a 25-minute set for the commuters and then packed it all down and disappeared.

Anyway, I'm left with these options:

a) spend my entire personal budget for the next month on a taxi.
b) get a "pirate taxi"/convince a sober friend to drive me home.
c) end up in bed with someone, or if that fails, pass out on a floor.
e) not go.

Flop on the floor.

This.

Yep, that's what I'll do.

[LMNO]

Naw, I have The Pipe.

But seriously, if I was running things, nobody would have even the barest notion of walking into something like that.

Also, nobody would EVER be bored.

Kind of the opposite of the world in "Cocoon".

Well, you'd see Israelis back-to-back with Palestinians.

"OH, SHIT, HABIB, HERE THEY COME!"

"I HAVE YOUR BACK, AARON!"

*Fade to black, sound of gunfire and something roaring/squealing*

There wouldn't be TIME for sectarian nonsense.

GLOBAL ROBBER'S CAVE EXPERIMENT.

[Junkenstein]

Less than 2 hours until I head for HOME.

I can't express the delight at returning to humanity.

NEW STOVE, BITCHES.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Niiiice!

Also, PD, should I see how much of the SGF's conspiracy theory shit I can save? Like, he was hard core into the Illuminati/chem trails/etc. nonsense and the potential for lulz is pretty high.

I'd be inclined to say yes, at least for a time until you can peel through some of it. Mainly because that kind of stuff facsinates me, even if it's only in a "hahahahaha they really believe that!?!" sort of way.

I am 100% in favor of this.

I has envy.

I've been invited to a party on Friday, but as usual in my area there are a few logistical issues.
The party is 35 kilometres from where I live. A completely normal distance in my area, since there are few people and lots of land. There are pretty much no night buses. Taking a taxi will cost 1200 NOK, the equivalent of 200 US dollars. If you pre-order and is a young person, the county is supposed to subsidize your cab ride home so you only will have to pay around 10$. But of course, the rules are so restrictive about times and areas it doesn't apply to me. If people have to make their circles of friends fit within arbitrary geographical borders and also have to leave all parties at 1 am, people won't use it, and I won't use it. The only real way to get home now is to find someone who knows someone who can drive me home for a decent price, or a friend who'll do it for free. But if paid for, this is illegal, unlicensed taxicab services. And even if it's free, it's risky. The driver is usually unexperienced, it's dark, in winter the roads are slippery and there is a real risk of crashing into moose. The passengers are usually drunk and in a quite upbeat mood. Accidents happen. More often than usual. This is dangerous, scientists and police and whatever tell the media, and there have been proposals to ban young drivers (some single out young male drivers) from driving at night or with passengers. Probably won't happen though, for what is the alternative? Having to rely 50 year old illegal taxicab drivers to get your teenager home?

Anyway, I'm left with these options:

a) spend my entire personal budget for the next month on a taxi.
b) get a "pirate taxi"/convince a sober friend to drive me home.
c) end up in bed with someone, or if that fails, pass out on a floor.
e) not go.

Grrwagh. I'm looking forward to exchange rural idyll for a chaotic, noisy and unsafe urban life where it's actually possible to do stuff.

Flop on the floor.

THIS.

And I'm not even sure why you consider this difficult.
You've never been to Texas, have you?

[Cain]

On the floor always.

Shit, bring a sleeping bag, if you're feeling fancy.

A good host or hostess will always be prepared to provide a drunk-nest.

Aw, they had to cancel it because their landlord suddenly changed her mind about it from "fine" to something like "no guests after 11 pm and I will come by every 30 minutes to make sure you're behaving or else I'll call my lawyer".

In what godforsaken, Orwellian wreck of a place is your landlord allowed to tell you whether you're allowed to have a party or not? FFS. Even in Phoenix, they don't do that.

Just need to provide a sample piece of writing for my Uni application now.

Am considering potential topics.  I want to write something exciting and controversial, but that would be lengthy or stupid, or possibly both, so I'm now grubbing around in the textbooks for something to prove I'm not a complete a moron to write about.
