Hula what now?...

Now, before I continue, I might like to add that I am currently a bit squiffy. Following his successful interview, Captain Placid took me roughly from behind for a liquid lunch that consisted of a bottle or 2 of fortified wine. 'Twas Lully. Oh yeah.

But I've since been dropped off back at work...and have been sat here waiting for the minutes / hours to tick by...I've got no other meetings today...no deadlines...no nowt. Result!

However, I've had an understandable attack of the munchies. A harmless, 'couldn't hurt', case of booze-related hunger pangs...

The cafeteria is shut for the afternoon...therefore I have no other option but to head for the snack machine...

I subsequently fire a metric fuckload of change into said machine and buy a variety of snacks, and...some of those BBQ beef flavour hula-hoops that I pray will sustain me for the next couple of hours...

I then leg it back to my office, open the packet, and what do I find???

They're like fucking TUBES. MASSIVE BASTARD TUBES!! THEY'RE NOT LIKE HULA HOOPS AT ALL! WHO OR WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS???

I wish I was clever enough to take a photo and upload it, cos these mofos are impressive. I don't know what went on in the Hula-hoop factory when these bastards were made, but...Why me?...Of all the 'ridiculous odds' things to happen to people, why couldn't I just win the lottery? instead of being the recipient of massively weird Hula Hoops? hang on a minute...

What if one of YOU did it?...eh?...you total bastards...feeding my paranoia by singling me out to be the sole recipient of massive fuck-off tube-tastic efforts instead of standard hula-hoops - just to put me on edge.

Whoever did this was an evil genius I reckon. They taste lovely though.

Just my luck to have freaky hula hoops when I'm trying desperately hard to look sober! I can't help myself! I have had to grab everyone in the nearby vicinity and bellow: "LOOK AT THESE FUCKERS!!" before waving a tube-like hula-hoop in the face of any unsuspecting passer-by.


I haven't been here long. The outlook isn't good, is it? They're lucky to have me...aren't they?...

i believe you have bought wheat crunchies

THAT is FUCKING MENTAL!...

Because I also bought wheat crunchies...Crispy bacon flavour. But I didn't get the two confused - I still stand by my previous Hula Hoop related incident.

But now I'm really paranoid...which desk are you sat at?

see that one with the leg that's always wobbly?
well, it's not that one.....

If you wrote that all by yourself and are actually "squiffy", then yes, they are very lucky to have you. I work with people that can't write when they're sober!

Yep, officially squiffy...

If there was a squiffy-o-meter, I imagine I would rate quite highly on it.

I'm currently on the cup-a-soup now...starting to feel a bit more human again.

Cup-a-Soup is food, it's like a white-collar kebab, you'll be fine.

Don't talk to people though....

They will know!
(CheeseyPeas, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 16:03, closed)

Top advice...

Thank you!

I also have the fallback that I always talk like some kind of a twat, so hopefully talking like a drunken twat won't stand out quite as much as it would for a normal person.

I've only got about 15 minutes to go then I can leave...Flexitime FTW!

I'm just pleased that people still use the word 'squiffy'.
Since I turned 15 I've opted for 'cunted'. But that's just me.

Hampered.
Say it out loud,'I'm fucking hampered.' It's great.

Or bolloxed, munted, spangoed, noodled, trashed on a train to fuckton.

'bingoed'
or 'bingo citied' is a recently coined one in my local.

I tend to opt for 'buckled' myself.

"Shankered"
is my personal favourite.
(TheImmortalJenkins, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 3:16, closed)

I used to know someone
whose claim it was that adding "-ed" to the end of just about any word would make it appropriate to describe drunkenness; viz trollied, bladdered, mashed - and so on into floored, tabled, cornflaked, and so on.

I quite like "corrugated".

( enoughblueskyforsailorstrousers, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 9:20, closed)

oh I'm using this.
sounds better than 'accidentally got drunk'.
( Slippery Mick ‏, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 10:21, closed)

Best one of all...

it makes me sound like a cad.

"I'm sorry darling, that you caught me balls deep in those Lithuanian ladyboys, but you see, I was quite disgracefully overserved at the time".

then we'd all laugh and everything would be forgiven

I've always been rather fond...

of 'piss-tarded'
