With age comes absolute lack of wisdom

Tosh
Men and women of a certain age, you would think we would know better.  You think we would outgrow things such as weeknight drinking and posing for pictures that we will be ashamed of seeing the next day.  These past few days have proved that a fallacy.  Apparently 'old folks' are not yet old enough for those types of antics yet, particularly when it's a dear friend's birthday celebration.  What we are is smarter - to share those pictures on photostream the next day, not Facebook.

This is a list of things that old people (still) do:

Buy bottles of Gatorade (G2 - none of that full fat stuff for the senior citizens), not to replenish electrolytes from working out but from heavy drinking.

Make first bad decision - order a Wimbledon sized bowl of rum punch for a birthday celebration on a Monday night.

(Shortly thereafter, personally reverse the first bad decision by claiming Designated Driver status)

Finish the bowl of alcohol by asking the birthday boy to drain the remnants.

Snap pictures of the birthday boy hoisting the finished bowl over head like a trophy whilst standing on a table, champion style.

Make second bad decision - leave first bar to go to second bar.

Come home and make "nachos," better known as Tortilla scoop chips and shredded cheddar cheese nuked in the microwave.

Wake up the next morning to socks / shoes / jackets strewn all over the apartment and plates encrusted with plasticky remnants of cheese.

Chug aforementioned six-pack of Gatorade.

Go to work, older but apparently not wiser.


Happy birthday my dear friend and you're welcome for not posting embarrassing pictures of you all over my blog.

  3. the pull for balance in our universe can be such a cruel thing... i mean, with coffee comes coffee breath. with amazing amounts of debauchery comes regret (in one form or another).
    sounds like awesome fun, though! :)

  4. I have to agree with beer, they never stop drinking even after they got cancer because of beer.. Referring to someone I know..

  5. My brother likes to say, when he does something stupid and I ask him how old he is, "Old enough to know better, but not old enough to care." Sounds like that applies here as well. :)

  6. Haha, okay, now we know how you spent part of the week. Claiming the DD role was a good move. I hope your friend had a blast!

    The search for wisdom is never ending, if we're smart. :)

  7. Sounds like you had a fun night out :p
    I find wisdom doesn't grow with age in some cases, especially to do with alcohol.

  8. haha, I like that. maybe lack of wisdom is something we should all aspire to. because what's commonly considered wisdom seems to be rather borring :)

  10. Gatorade is seriously a lifesaver. It's my go-to hangover cure in the morning after a raucous night out!
