Abusing freebies
A friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

I went to a conference a bit ago,
not surprisingly, at a conference centre. After ploughing my way through the buffet, I went for a few lunchtime beers, came back and got lost. The place is a fucking massive labyrinth, I expected to find the Minotaur there.
Anyway I blundered into various rooms, most of which had other peeps doing conference stuff, and the plan was hatched. Most conferences, peeps don't know each other, and the list of conferences is at the door of the building; so once or twice a week, I pop in in the morning, looking as if I know where I,m going. I'll pop into the various rooms for morning coffee and bikkies, pick up a timetable, find when dinner is and bugger off.
Come back for a few buffet lunches, (seriously good quality, no sausage rolls and egg mayo butties), grab any freebies that are going, and bugger off.

cool!
Sounds like a great idea really. Kinda like an all you can eat buffet without having to pay (and someone wanking on your shrimp)
Just hope you don't wonder into a conference on something complicated like accounting or rocket science even though the freebies would be great, (money and rocketships all round!) you may end up making a tit of yourself if someone tries to converse with you and you dont know what the fuck they're on about.
I'll have to locate MY local conference centre, thanks for the tip.
