That his words immediately prior were somethting to the effect of, "Hold my beer- this is gonna be SO cool...."

[BOSSHOG]

5. Hey Ya'll Watch this

[SacredCow]

11. I don't think it would have been "Y'all"....

Given that he's in Oregon.... What is the collective pronoun in the Northwest?

[Critters2]

14. You guys?

That's what it is in the Midwest.

"Hey, you guys, watch this!" Yeah, I could see that.

10. "Hey, Bubba, watch this!"

Consumption of alcohol frequently enhances natural stupidity.

[Mike Daniels]

22. I can't imagine how drunk you have to be to even think this is a good idea

I've had some classic moments when bombed out of my skull but I can't imagine ever being so out of it that I would conceive of thinking this would be a harmless life choice.

[Solly Mack]

12. Give it to Mikey - he'll eat anything

[IDemo]

13. Oh man I hate when that happens

[Critters2]

15. I'm having trouble getting past "pet" being used to modify

"rattlesnake".

THE THINGS YOU DO WHEN YOU’RE DRINKING
© 1996 by Jim Morris

She’s a beauty, but she’s got rabies.
Hey Buddy, where’d you get your date?
I think you’d better get back to the zoo
Before it gets too late.
I’m sorry, Mr. Weightlifter Man;
I guess I have no defense.
It’s just the things you do when you’re drinking.
Oh, they seem to make so much sense.

I’m ready. Hey, let’s get a tattoo.
I want a great big anchor on my chest.
Or maybe that heart that says I Love Mary.
Oh, I think I like that one the best.
I’m sorry, Linda.
I guess I have no defense.
It’s just the things you do when you’re drinking.
Oh, they seem to make so much sense.

BRIDGE:

Now we’ve been having ourselves one hell of a night.
We’ve been drinking since early this morning.
That tequila, rum, wine and beer all mixed up together
Sort of sneaks up without much warning.
And I know I really should go home;
Hell, It’s quarter till three.
Do another shot of Wild Turkey?
Well now, that makes sense to me.


Hey baby, can I come over?
Yeah, I know it’s four–thirty.
But hey, just think of it as a date for tonight,
And I’m stopping by just a little bit early, yeah.
I’m sorry Mr. Jones – I didn’t catch your voice.
I guess I have no defense.
It’s just the things that you do when you’re drinking.
Oh, they seem to make so much sense.

Pull over! Walk a straight line!
Now what kind of game is this?
I wasn’t weaving; I was trying to dodge an armadillo back there,
And I bet his armadillo family is sure glad I missed.
Well, I’m sorry Mr. Ociffer Man;
I guess I have no defense.
It’s just the things that you do when you’re drinking.
Oh, they seem to make so much sense.
Yeah, it’s just the things that you do when you’re drinking, oh.
They seem to make so much sense.
