Hallowheeze
I’m sure I should tell you about Halloween and what a splendid affair it was. I dressed as a zombie and made a child cry. Greg became the object of many nerd girls’ “flay the naughty orc” fantasies. Nick fell down. So many stories to tell and yet I can’t tell them… Actually it’s hard for me to look past my own suffering as I sit at my computer, sniffling and swallowing my own phlegm.
As a wee lad, I never got sick. Over the years, I attributed this fact to my “iron immune system.” Sunday I got a kidney punch from old man influenza. Actually, it’s probably just a cold (according to the hilariously named igotflu.com)…maybe it’s SARS. Who knows? Either way, I have an excuse to take medicine that has more alcohol than I have back hair.
About one o’clock Sunday afternoon, I took my first ever dose of Nyquil. Greg often takes Nyquil (we’re thinking about holding an intervention) and he always talks about how it makes him loopy or at the very least, makes him more likely to drown face-down in his soup. I think all it did to me was make me sleepy; since the sleepiness coincided with my weekly Sunday afternoon nap, I was, more or less, unaffected. The benefit was that Nyquil made it unnecessary for me to put any real thought into my words for the rest of the night. A sample:
Dude: “Hi, Steve. How’s your weekend been going?”
Steve: “What rapscallion absconded with the crumpets?”
Dude: “What do you mean??
Steve: ?Uh?where did the biscuits go??
Dude: ?What the?! Biscuits?! Right?anyway, what do you think about social security reform?”
Steve: “I’m a staunch supporter of flaps in the back of pajamas. Wants a swizzle, like me? Balderdash and poppycock!”
Dude: “Oh boy, you’re so postmodern! Or you’re on Nyquil. Can you stop oozing snot on my shoe?”
Seriously though, by being healthy I think I’ve missed out on the best thing about illness: a complete lack of responsibility or maturity. It’s like sickness is a free pass to guilt-free whining, good service, and abundant sleep. Sign me up! It’s like my life’s philosophy all wrapped up into one little viral package.
“Nyquil monkeys! Bring me my ambrosia and may the sweet waters of Lethe wash over me forevermore…”

More alcohol than back hair…dang man, did you drink the entire bottle of NyQuil in one dose?

Man I dont know what I was thinking when I clicked a google link to your site… This is such a dumbass site for three weirdos who like to a couple a guys who would get MIP’s and some guy that turned 21 a while back but still cant grow a decent mustache so he says. This should be called chumpsahoy.com. Seriously guys this is just wasted server space that could be better used with something decent like http://www.feetman.com You know what i was randomly searching google with the words chump fart and this site was like the tenth listing check it out..
Nikki November 16th, 2003 13:35 pm
Wow! How freakin’ long did this guy spend at your site??? And like anyone who is looking for “chump” and “fart” together isn’t already a little strange themselves…
greg November 16th, 2003 16:38 pm
another satisfied customer at chimps ahoy.
I considered deleting the comment, but the pleasure of knowing somebody hated the site enough to write that much kind of makes me happy.
Nikki November 17th, 2003 01:21 am
Haha! And did anyone notice that his website’s registration expired?
Brad November 17th, 2003 21:32 pm
Dude that’s sweet. Louie, you totally need to post more often. Seems he knows quite a bit about us for just happening to glance at our site due to a Google search…
Kevin November 18th, 2003 08:02 am
and hit it on the nose!
Nick November 22nd, 2003 05:58 am
Wow, did that guy scare you guys away from posting? I hope not, but it seems that is the way of things, since its almost been two weeks since I have seen a new post.
I have to admit that I have had some stranger posts on Nickinaround. Do you guys have problems keeping people from posting underage porn on your site? Yes, I am not joking, some dude from Salt Lake City tried posting some links to some sick website. BANNED THAT IP quicker than you can say YAHOO!

No problems that I’ve experienced…lately. Thankfully Greg has learned his lesson about doing that awhile ago.
