Bowlin' and Drivin' Drunk

terryclothWell, I'm pretty sure I wasn't still drunk when it came time to go home. But I had a pretty tasty mixed drink called a 'rootbeer float' that was the size, color, and taste of an actual rootbeer float, yet was somehow composed entirely of various sorts of alcohol.
Mostly, of course, we were there to bowl, for morale. Injuring both my wrists to get scores of 50 (with my right hand, until I hurt it) and 18 (with a mixture of my left hand and then, after injuring my left wrist as well, with both hands) is not a terribly empowering experience.
I'm pretty sure I'm the worst bowler in the group, even including the tiny asian women who can barely lift a 6-pound ball and have to hit the 'reset' button every time because the lane doesn't register the throw.
Some of the people there were playing 'Puerto Rico' instead, which seems to be yet another ripoff of Settlers of Catan, only with all the fun parts (trading) removed and a bunch of pointless complexity layered on top. It lasted an extra hour after everyone was done bowling, and I stayed to watch to make sure I had the alcohol out of my system.
Note to self: ride to the next work event in a carpool, so that you can get stinking drunk on mixed drinks without having to worry that the insanely low blood alcohol limits in the state will bite you. Possibly ride the bus to work that day as well. Because you know, that was an awfully tasty rootbeer float, and I think another one would have really hit the spot. }:P
