Frightening

Ok, I went to a big party last night at some friends of my parents house...It was your typical Labor Day family party...3 or 4 kegs of beer, hog roast, everybody bring something to share, kids running all over the place, teenagers sneaking beer...You know, the typical American backyard bash. Good time, got to see a bunch of people that I hadn't seen in a long time...And some that I prefer to not see for a very long time...You know...
Anyhow....
It was pretty cool, everybody was sitting around and talking and having a good time...Until the college boys started getting drunk...
These boys are professional beer drinkers...That's what they go to college for around here...I'm pretty sure every college in Indiana offers a class in professional beer drinking...So, it stands to reason that there would eventually be keg-stands going on at some point in the night. For those of you that do not know what a keg-stand is, the keg-stander is held upside-down, with the assistance of 2 or 3 other people...This is usually best accomplished against a wall or some other solid surface. Someone else puts the nozzle from the keg into the upside-down person's mouth and turns it on and the upside-down person drinks until they can't drink anymore...What fun, huh?? Apparently, this causes a very serious blood-rushing-to-your-brain buzz...I wouldn't know, I've never done it. It seemed ok, you know, they are college boys, they do this every weekend...Whatever. It was all good until they started getting the older men involved also...55 year old men doing keg stands is not a pretty sight. Especially when it is 10 o'clock at night and they started drinking at 10 o'clock the night before. And, I gotta give these guys some credit, they have probably drank 10 times as much beer as these little college boys...But not while standing on their heads...Scary shit.

One a lighter note, Pappy has been moved to a re-hab unit in the hospital. He is doing so much better...We truly couldn't ask for better progress considering we though we were gonna lose him 2 weeks ago.

Alright, children, time for bed...Gotta work tomorrow...Yippie fucking skippy.
