Just out of curiousity, I'd like to ask a question: How many of you have posted while under the influence?
I know I've done it, and I know 86 has done it, and I'm pretty sure there are others (vito90 and Starfucker, I'm lookin' at you). Garfield always seems like he's drunk, but I'm not positive about that. Grum is either always sober, or maybe he's the guy who you don't want to disagree with when you've had a few 'cuz he's crazy. Squealy and Wc2002 I'm not sure about (it's English, but it ain't English).
Are we dragging down the potential of SpoFi with this, or are we making it more easy to read for Joe Six-Pack?

I don't drink alcohol, so all of my posts have been sober. There might be some cola-borne quirkiness or sleep-deprivation silliness, but definitely not beer-based belligerence. Now excuse me, I have to go hunt down that SOB who missed the last shot in the Notre Dame / Milwaukee Wisc game.

Well I'm drunk now. Am i alloweed to edit?How about this. I won't post-edit, but I will edit mistrakes I find immediaTELY. aND I will make an effortn to be coherent. So far I'm not doing well. I'll slow mdown. I'm likely to log on atb any given moment. And I will read all the FPP's, and I will read the comments of those I'm interested in. If I want to posst, then I will make damn sure to read the link as well. And I will read all comments before mine. But if I have something passionate to say or relevant to add, then I'm, not going to let a little booze stand in my way. But it is my responsibility to make sure my post is readable and not stupid and flows and is coherent. Terry Armtrongs is not a product of drinking it's a chris rock skit, BTW. My soused point is, when I'm drinking, I want to bullshit with friends, which means I want to pour a cold one and log on, and see what you stupid bastRds (I'm looking at you *fucker) have to say, and as long as I edit and make sense, then almost any comment is a positive comment. on preview: I just took my last final of the quarter and went and tied one on in front of the march madness games. When I concentrated I made very few errors and a bit of sense. When I lapsed I sounded like a goddamned idiot. So, posting loaded is OK by me, but have some pride in what you're sayin and come correct. (This comment edited heavily)

I refer you to my FPP from ten minutes ago. Bear in mind that I wrote it the morning after the night before. Err, so the answer is yes I post when drunk. Dunno who this Joe Six-Pack bloke is, but I'm considering changing my name by deed poll. :-)

I’m drunk right now, I haven’t showered in six days and the only thing I’m wearing is a Coors Light thirty-pack box crafted into a helmet. And the way I see it, if I didn't tell you this, you'd never even know. Really, I try to be careful about what I post while drunk (PWD?). I still do it all the time, but I try maintain that policy. To each their own, I say. Now excuse me, I have to go hunt down that SOB who missed the last shot in the Notre Dame / Milwaukee Wisc game. Now excuse me, I have to go hunt down that SOB who missed the last shot in the Notre Dame / Milwaukee Wisc game. Grum sir, I hope you catch him.
