Responsibility: FAIL!

[tsaiko]

As I was messaging miome about getting lunch, two girls sat down next to me. I was on one of the public computers due do not being able to get into the lab (this was a fiasco unto itself, which got resolved).

Girl 1: Yeah, my boyfriend only had a few beers at the party. He didn't want to get falling down drunk because he was going shooting with his Dad that afternoon.
Girl 2: *with absolutely no trace of sarcasm* Girl... he's so responsible.
Girl 1: *totally serious* I know.
Tsaiko: D:

Seriously? Seriously? You people are in college and you think it's fine for someone to wave around a loaded weapon after "only a few beers"? I hope like hell the "shooting" he was going to was at a gun range. At least that's a more controlled environment. Let's hope this guy didn't go hunting.

"Man, I drink a few beers and a lot more of the deer start wearing orange."

"It's tradition. All of us go hunting, have a few beers, and then one of us gets shot."

"It's not a hunting trip unless someone's bleeding."

XD Is that anything like, "The girls get better looking at closing time?"

I was about to say "The only real difference, is the prey moves faster in the woods" but I have seen some women book it when they are being hit up by a drunk guy.

I thought that was a hunting tradition!

Too bad it's not the drunks that get accidentally shot.

Perhaps I'm a fuddyduddy, but I really hate when people lack any self control when it comes to things like alcohol. If you're the one driving or you're going to handle a gun later you should have the self control to put of downing those beers for one bloody day. Do they really need to drink to enjoy the day?
