Funny Drinking Stories

[Swordsman]

I don't drink, and therefore can't have any funny stories. What about the rest of you, though?

[jusplainfencing]

Hi!

Drinking that has anything to do with fencing?

If not, how about this: I was going home from a late evening at the computer lab, and it was "kick-in" - the first 2 weeks that freshmen in Swedish universities are treated to. This includes several parties, quite massive amounts of alcohol, (who would have guessed that?) and a bit of humilation&scaring to create group cohesion.

Anyway, this guy was going home from the the party. Only that he was not going, he was crawling - literally. Not only that, he was so drunk so that he was crawling from side to side of the road (no vehicles allowed) and making very little headway. I almost laughed my head off when I saw the spectacle.

Have a nice time!

I dont' "drink" in the common sence of the word. however, during a meal it is acceptable to have a wine or glass of beer. beers and light wines or wine coolers go well with seafoods; other alcoholic beverages should only be consumed in very small amounts, during celebrations or on infrequent, special occassions, weddings, birthdays. There's a difference between having a 'treat' of wine and a person who over-drinks.

My friends daughter has a steel plate in her head from being in a car with her 'friends' that drank. the other drunks that ran the kids off the road and left them in a ditch, didn't get caught, their parents were poltically connected. She can barely walk.


'hey, like linkin park?"

is that a que to get rid of my signature?

[jusplainfencing]

im very sorry for what happened to your friends daughter and i understand why a thread like this could bring up some of those feelings....

While living in Thunder Bay for several years, I have had many a fond memory, and beer before, and after training at our Academy!

The maestro, who ran the salle in the Keskus mall had quite a set up. I would say the entire fencing club had close to 1/3 of an acre! All glass walls, so people in the mall could walk by and see fencing. Something like the one in the Mall of America except 2 or three times as big.

So....one night we had arranged a fund raiser at a local night club to raise money for our group. We did it jointly with one of the college clubs. It went pretty well. Several of us from the club were there, and boy did we drink! Later on around 2:00am, a bunch of us got the great idea that we would do some fencing over in the club. Wow! If you ever get the idea...don't try it. You are not as agile, or suave as you might think fencing under the influence! So, there we we're, a group of college aged brats and our fearless leader plastered, geared up, and fencing...sort of!

I'm sure many will frown and raise safety issues here, but you only go through life once!

The mall is now gone, and a casino now stands in it's place. I don't even know what's happened to the Academy. I'm pretty sure they're still around, teaching on a smaller level. Most of us moved on to careers, and other parts of the province/country/continent!

Anyways, that was one of many excursions at the Superior Fencing Academy. If you ever meet someone from the club, (look for the patch), be sure to ask if they want to go for a beer! I'm sure they'll buy!!

me and a fellow fencer on the floor in the kitchen of a buddy's house laughing histerically, pointing at each other and saying "dog".

Now, obviously, I'm far to young for a drop of alcohol to have ever passed my lips... so I don't have much experiance.... and that which I do have is very very tame.


There was last Halloween, which I remember most of, during which I managed to pour Lambrigni over my shoulder when aiming for my mouth (I'm classy like that). Then there was falling flat on my face, thankfully on to a pile carpet at my friend's house a few summers ago--- and deciding to stay there.

My friend who I fence with was caught staggering out of a pub by her Physics teacher, she then promptly screamed, and fell on her bum. Heehee, how humiliating.


I've had several occasions of e-mailing people under th einfluence- which should never be done. Never.

When I started fencing couple of years back in Ukraine every time we went for the tournament anywhere (ususally by train) afterwards we'd have to draw straws/flip coin/rockpaperscissors etc to decide whose turn it was to carry the coach who by that time would be out for a couple of hours (+ of course their own fencing equipment ) to the train station. ;D It was not just one particular coach but a couple of them who'd do that to us Later on in the morning waking up on the train the coach would ask us cheerfully (and with with all seriosity) about how did we end up doing last night
Oh good times

[Aoife]

Way-hey! I have a drunk fencing story now!

This weekend it was my friend's 16th birthday party- the one who in my previous pub was caught staggerin out of a pub by her physics teacher- anyway... we all got fairly slaughtered.... and I decided to give a fenicng 'demonstration'. I was using a bread-stick or cheese twist or some kind of pastry snack. It was going fine (in my mind at least) until I tried to fleche...... and ended flat on my face in the carpet.

But at least I tried to enlighted the unitiated

(and needless to say at tonight's fenicng practise the mention of me fleching caused giggles from all those who attended )

Question for the sword: Okay, do we have to submit funny drinking stories, or can we just submit regular stories, like funny incidences that occurred during the day.

Hi!

This one was *not* done under the influence, just goes to prove that I can make a complete fool of myself without chemical aid.

Anyway, it was my sophomore year, and I had just turned 17. For some reason that I don´t remember - but not involving drink - I had stayed up *far* too long the night before. I came to class too late, and when I came in there were only a few places left in the first row, with no folding tables (for note-taking) in front of me, as there were at all other places. Got a nasty stare from the teacher when I interrupted the polymer chemistry class, it is hard to sit down in the first row unnoticed.

Anyway, I started to take notes, but soon noticed that I was *really* tired. I gave up on trying to write, and changed my ambition to just listening. Soon, that proved too taxing, so I further downgraded it to just staying awake.

I failed.

Since this was in the first row, nothing stopped me. I fell *literally* asleep, and feel off my chair on the floor, and there was a loud thud when my head hit the floor. Snickers here and there, and I felt like a complete fool. To top it off, the teacher was a neighbour of my family, and he asked me afterwards why I did not get enough sleep. Did not tell my folks, though.

Oh well, anyone who has not done dumb stuff when they were 17, please raise a hand.

Have a nice time!

*raises hand*

(although I think my hand raising is rather defunct, having not only never done anything dumb whilst I was 17, but I've never done anything whilst being 17 at all He-ho, give it a year )

Well this is an odd topic; but I could not resist.

Fencing in New orleans and Coaching a university club in New Orleans drinking NEVER comes up

The main reason I fence is so I can drink more and not become a fat old ****.

Join us at a locol tournament or a nationals and get a few stories of your own : )

Cheers


I mean see ya'

Oh boy! Some of you may of heard of this one. I won't mention the club or the Division of the club. And I hope I don't get a contract on me. This is kinda of an insider thing too! To my peeps out in "you know where" if you happen to read this by some chance......... "Are you still using your mask as a strainer?"



No need to explain I hope.

Ugh, too many nights to remember.

Hmm...Good stories...
A bunch of us were hanging out one night drinking and my friend and fellow fencer went to his car to get something out of the trunk when we discovered he had two foils and two masks (we were drunk enough to decide that's all we needed). We probably would have done ok (even drunk) if it wasn't for the wet grass too.

Stupidest thing we ever did (same people, same house) was take an old bmx bike and attach the old fairings (plastic body work) from a 2001 Yamaha R1 (1000cc sportbike) to it and ride it around the local campus trying to do motorcycle tricks. Motorcycle tricks are really hard when you're drunk and on a vehicle that doesn't actually have a motor. It ended with me flying into the front yard trying to do a stand-up wheelie and flipping over backwards.

I doubt I'm one of the people to whom you're referring, but I feel I must share anyway, despite the fact it didn't involve alcohol either.

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking--oh I am so clever sometimes I crack myself up-- then we had someone from my club do this while at a competition. As I said, she wasn't drunk or hungover and I don't think she was particularly sick before, but the mask didn't quite come off in time. I didn't witness it personally--thank heavens as I seem to make it a policy to not let anyone vomit alone if you know what I mean -- but it has become a bit of an inside joke around the "old hands" at the club.

I don't drink so I have no good stories, though I did once try to buy books for school while under the influence of pain medication after having my wisdom teeth out a few years ago--it seemed like a good idea at the time That and I have wicked dreams when I take prescription strength cough medicine, so I'm sure I would be a very entertaining drunk, either that, or, knowing what I'm usually like, I'd go maudlinm then pass out.
