coping with holiday stress
 

Is it over yet?

.

Wow...you got rid of the Taliban beard...I'm impressed!

Never say I'm not sensitive to water conservation. I skipped the plate ( to the horror of the host )

And for the seasonal brawl, the attendees were state cops, a Sheriffs deputy, EMTs and professional firemen ( all relatives and big mothers ).

With me being "gunless" due to unconstitutional restrictions to my 2a rights, I postponed the fistfighting until next year but was fairly successful at the annual drunken argument.

Were you in NY?

Hitlary land, yes.

a small portion of the drunken argument

slang: so anyway I get real freaking tired of being asked to step out of the car for a routine traffic stop......and it pisses me off, so I appear hostile.
StateCop: well you shouldnt have been speeding to get pulled over to begin with.
slang: I wasnt speeding , I was driving irradically.
StateCop: well there you have it.
slang: dont get all uppety on meee mister, I can remember you when you were shitting in a diaper. You are no angel. Can you say "pump up bb gun". Yeah, I remember your punk ass long before you got a job with the state.
StateCop: lets just hope I dont see you on the road as drunk as you are tonight slang.
slang: What, and give you the satisfaction? We'll shoot it out before you bust me for anything.

A friend of mine had a similar conversation.
Just before he was hospitalized. ;)

Slang, is that you or Dave Attell?

Awwwww... drunks and losers, dwarves with limps! Flos and hoes and one-eyed pimps...

Isn't he just a charmer ... :joylove:

You enjoy bringing your work home, don't you. :rolleyes:

yeah.

This was the last "pre-argument" ( also the last pre black eye) pic.

Shame I wasn't there for you, honey. I speak firefighter, and have an entirely different relationship with cops than most people.

Lemme tell you, starting a round of crazy-people war stories distracts all but the drunkest of cops, and a double fatality vehicle extraction (with a beheading) will distract the firemen. I'll set you up with a couple of these and you'll be able to make it through the next Stressmas dinner like a champ.

Ugh -- not good. I drove past an incident of this exact description on Interstate 75 in Georgia, yesterday. That was a little unpleasant. They should never have implemented those automatic seatbelts, as no one ever seems to bother to put on the lap belts.

It is my firm opinion that booze makes the stress of the holidays a little more tolerable. The more booze, the better. (sometimes)

The best way to handle the stress of the holidays is to find a sufficiently-equipped hidden cave (hot running water, food, sanitary facilities, TV with all the premium channels, anonymized Internet connection) and hide out from Nov 1 to Jan 2.

C'mon people, get with it. Why hermitize when you can go out and spoil everyone elses holiday. Bwahahahaha.:haha:
