Your top 3:
1. Because I'm Middle-aged and Because I am Drunk
2. Why I'm a $%&@ Vegetarian
3. I've Had Some Great Times When I've Been Lost
So I'm a little disappointed I put BIMaBID as a choice because the title is the best thing about the post. The actual post is kinda lame. Maybe you'll leave a better story in the comments?
I'm not much of a drinker these days. If I have more than two glasses of wine, I get myself a royal headache. Or something bizarre happens like Punk eats somebody's medication or drinks gasoline and has to be rushed to the emergency room. Too much room for error. But once in a while I'll have that third glass.
The blog post title originated at book club a while back. On this particular date, instead of talking about the book,we drink wine and play Apples to Apples, the hilarious card game where one person chooses an adjective card and the other players throw out their own card that best matches the adjective. You might match scary with Dracula, ecoli, or Joan Rivers depending on the cards in your hand. The best match wins the hand and so on.
As the night wears on, we have a little more trouble matching cards or it takes some of us me a little longer to come up with a match or to comprehend the match. The game deteriorates when my response to irritable is broccoli.
My excuse? Of course. Because I'm middle-aged. And because I'm drunk. At the time, we I think this is the funniest thing ever said. See? Lame. At least I now have an answer for any inquiry into my stability. Seems to work.
In another one of her intriguing blog posts, this one related to Halloween, XUP put up this scary photograph of an Iron Age mummy who turned up in a bog in 1984. Ironic that he's now turning up in blogs. Causes of death? Strangulation, fractured skull, and a slit throat. Yikes.
I don't know about you but whenever I see a mummy with its throat cut and its skull bashed, I wonder about the day this person died. Did he wake up knowing he'd fight to the death? What the heck happened? Did he die thinking "boy, I wish I hadn't said that" or "I knew I shouldn't trust that bitch"? Was he taken by surprise?
Or did he, in his last moments, think It's because I'm middle-aged. And because I'm drunk.
So what's your BIMaBID story?

I once wrecked my car and then borrowed someone else's and backed into a tree before I'd gotten out of their yard. I'd only had 2 glasses of wine. Watch it. Nobody was hurt, but the cars were a mess.
i LOVE this post and it made me laugh OUT LOUD even :)
i think he died thinking "it's because i'm drunk".
wine gives you a headache, is it from the sulfates? b/c i think they make it without the sulfates. you like how i think i'mma cure you right here and now, like you hadn't already thought of the sulfates?
That sounds like a really fun card game.
I play Apples-To-Apples with wine as well and I never fully understood the deterioration of my game as the night wore on. What a relief to know that it is "Because I'm Middle-Aged...And because I'm Drunk"! THANK YOU, Dr. LoLa! Now I will no longer have to suffer the mockery of my 20-something nieces and nephews in silence!
My gosh, Pamela Kay, you are an early riser. What is it, 5 am where you are? and an Apples to Apples middle-aged drunk to boot!
p.s. Pamela Kay...will you send me your email address to locationlaura at gmail dot com?
Well I don't see what the stretch was for "irritable" and "broccoli." Obviously, broccoli is a fart inducer and farting is reminds one of irritable bowel syndrome. You must not have had ENOUGH wine that night. That was the problem.
jeez Barb, geeROSS!
hilarious, Laura! i'm going to use the "because i'm middle-aged and I'm drunk" soon as an excuse (for who knows what?)
I'm happy to have you in my circle, KC
