Originally posted by Big Orange CountrySeal poofing is a term used by white water kayak enthusiasts. You first wait for a heavy rain, then go down to your local Steep Creek, perch yourself on a large bolder, maybe 20 feet above the water, then just nudge yourself off the bolder and land Flat on the water (poof !). Gives you one hell of a rush of adrenalin and makes you love being Alive and will certainly kill you a lot sooner than those mind numbing drugs and booze you like so much. Live life in the fast lane, dude. Poofing's the only way to die.
never heard of it. enlighten me. please.

booze and hookah is the only way to go for me! I listed marijuana, cocaine, and heroine earlier just for the point i was making about restrictive government.
Originally posted by Big Orange CountryAgreed, this would be an awful lot of alcohol
meh?
why meh?
am I wrong?
128 ozs roughly 42 shots per day which is nearly 2 shots an hour for the entire weekend. and this is assuming you start at midnight friday morning.
let me see... if you got off work at 5 on friday, you can usually expect to start drinking at 6. from 6 friday to midnight on sunday night is 54 hours.
128/54 is 64/27 or somewhere between 2 and 3 shots an hour for the entire weekend. Cheers!

Thanks for a great contribution to the thread, caissad.

holy smokes! we should organize a Hammered persons tournament!
rules are as follows:
each player must take one shot of something each move for the first ten moves. then one shot every 5 moves for the next 25 moves, and one shot every ten until the end of the game.
Time controls: 0 days and a 1 day timebank, to maximize game time intoxication.
we would have one round each friday night (so as not to interfere with work) until we have crowned a champion! all games unrated, and of course everyone should be allowed to talk about the moves as they are happening. So long as everyone takes their shots when they are supposed to, it should make for a lot of fun in a bottle.
