Wow...
And I thought my ex-roommate was bad, damn...
Glad you didn't get hurt and survived that.
*story*
You guys make me feel so much better about my roommate stories. Like I am glad mine are so woefully inadequate by comparison. Drug raids are nothing compared to dead babies and rotten chicken shit attack.
Yeah, I just had to live with a balding smelly weird guy, not a crackwhore turning tricks.
DEAR GOD what the fuck? That is horrible to imagine.
It was an actual physical letter. Fairly certain I kept it but it would be in some random stuff I left at my parents' house. Will be back there next week and will see if I can dig it up.
It was surreal. About 5 days later, I came home on my lunch hour and found her trying to cut the A/C unit power line(while it was running,with a pair of those black handled all metal scissors). I asked her what the fuck she was doing, and she turned around and stared at me with completely dead eyes. I went inside and called the police. I looked out my window while on the phone and she was just standing in the driveway. The police came and questioned her. I didn't press charges(stupid). She was totally shocked that I called the police. Anyway, I haven't seen her since. I had a few nightmares that she was standing over my bed with a knife though. Scary shit.
It's not about a roommate but a roommate's girlfriend:
About 5 years ago, there was this guy living in the house I now live in and he apparently got his girlfriend pregnant. She didn't tell anyone about being pregnant. Instead, she told everyone her belly was getting bigger because of medical reasons. So apparently, after she gave birth to the baby, she choked it and later dumped the dead body near her parent's house.
Nobody noticed until she get herself pregnant again. And again, she choked the baby after giving birth and dumped the body in a laptop bag in our backyard. Not really sure what happened but somebody found one of the bodies and then, the second one was discovered too.
Really fucked up, considering getting an abortion here (Netherlands) is really easy. Some seriously fucked up people on this earth.
I swear she stole some of my movies though. Strange thing was they were movies that make no sense to steal like surf ninjas and the hobbit animated movie (still pissed about that one)
the background
Now, Mal was not exactly any stranger to alcohol. One of my earliest memories is of him admitting that he used to make raisin-jack in his dorm room because he would be so desperate for alcohol (apparently, he needed it to fall asleep due to his rowdy neighbors). He kind of cut it all down once he ended up moving into the apartment, as the only one old enough in the house to actually go out and buy some didn't exactly like to share and Mal didn't exactly like having to pay for the shit. It's probably for the best that he didn't really drink all that often, as he's got the constitution of a chihuahua. All he has to do is think about alcohol, and he gets a bit tipsy. It's this fact alone that makes it kind of a surprise that the following events actually lasting as long as they did.
The Setup
So, Mal turned 21. He really wasn't wanting to start a bar crawl that late at night, so he decided to get some pizza for now and demanded that we raid the grocery store for wine. When we get there, he is not exactly sure as to what to get, outside of knowing that Riesling is supposed to be the shit. So he grabs a bottle of that and three other kinds of wine (Pinot Noir, Pinot Gregio, and Merlot). I also get a call from his sister demanding that he at least go out and do something fun on his birthday since she couldn't be there. I promise to make sure he actually leaves the apartment for some fun later on.
We get back to the apartment, when he throws in Fellowship of the Rings (he had been on a LotR kick all week long; remember this fact for later) and we start going through the wine. He takes a little of the merlot and decides it's the most foulest beverage he's ever had and hands me what is pretty much a full bottle. I think it's a waste to throw out a perfectly good drink and resolve to finish the...holy shit merlot is terrible. I keep trying to down it and...god all mighty this is what it's like to drink leather. Eventually I manage to finish what I eventually become convinced is tepid water left to sit with a leather jacket over the course of a weekend. Around this time, I notice that Mal has gone through the other three bottles of wine himself. He's pretty wasted at this point, but we continue to watch a little LotR ("NOOOOO Magneto, don't do it. He's The Man With The Golden Gun. He'll kill you with a single shot!") before he stumbles off to bed and I pass out on the couch.
The Quest Begins
The next morning, he runs into the living room, still very much drunk from the previous night, needing a ride to class (he's taking summer courses). I drive back to the apartment and pass back out, only to be woken up by him a few hours later, around noonish.
"Dude meet me at <pizza/bar joint>!"
"....o....okay?"
I meet him there, and he's already got pizza ready and a beer.
Beer #1
"Okay, here's the start of the day."
"What day?"
"I'm going to attempt to drink the city?"
"What?"
"I'm going to drink at every bar in town. EVER ONE. And I'm going to get a Guinness at every one."
"No you're not."
"Yes I am. Dude, you made a promise to my sister."
"Damn, I did. Okay, but if you start to get too drunk. We're done. We're going back home."
"Fine, fine, fine.
Beer #2
We finish up at the pizza joint and walk down the main street to the second bar. He orders another Guinness. Mal loves Guinness, but it does not love him. He's already kind of tipsy. He's kind of rude to the bartender, but the guy serves him anyway.
"God, this place is FILTHY. I don't see how they stay in business."
"You know, this is not something you talk about with the bartender in ear shot."
"FUCK HIM. I'm probably not coming back here anyway" (bullshit, we were back in there weeks later)
"You're already going down hill."
"DON'T YOU RUIN MY BIRTHDAY FOR ME."
"Fine, fine."
Beer #3
We walk to the next bar, there's a wait. He's a little annoyed, but he gets his beer soon enough. He spends fifteen minutes nursing it before he can get it down. It's kind of obvious that he's getting drunk. However, he's not wanting to give up yet.
"Okay, you're getting kind of drunk."
"NO I'M NOT. DD YOU WILL NOT RUIN THIS BIRTHDAY FOR ME. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A LIAR TO MY SISTER!"
"Fine, three more bars, but then you're cut off (there's at least 10 in town)
"We'll see."
At this point, we've exhausted the bars on this part of town. Next up, Frat Row!
Our Journey Continues into the Mines of Frat Bars
We drive to the strip of bars that the greeks typically go to. It's also worth noting that I'm just getting water at every place we go to, since I know that it really wouldn't do me any good to be drinking along with Mal.
Beer #4
There's not too much trouble here at first. He gets his beer and manages to drink it in a timely fashion, unlike #3. However, he then realizes that it's summer and that means that this bar (and the other two in this particular strip) has not been enjoying their usual customers lately.
"MAAAAAN. Business must SUUUUCK for you guys right now. I mean, none of your frat guys are here to get shit from you guys, and that leaves nobody for you!"
"Dude, that's not something you bring up..."
Owner:"Yeah, we've been hurting pretty badly lately..."
"MAN, it must really suck right now not having anybody come in except for people like US."
Owner: "Well, it's not actually been too bad at nights since that other bar burnt down."
"Woah, then I guess you're not lookin' forward to when they open back up HAHAHA"
Beer #5
They don't have Guinness. Mal pitches a fit but accepts the closest alternative they have (New Castle, I think).
At this point, I get a call from Ms. Nairume, who's been away teaching at a summer camp.
MD "Hey, NAIRUME, my grandfather's in the hospital, I don't know what to..."
Mal runs up and grabs the phone away
Mal "HEY SISTER! YOUR BROTHER IS ENJOYING A GREAT BIRTHDAY BECAUSE OF THE PROMISE YOU MADE NAIRUME MAKE YOUR SUCH A GREAT SISTER HEY SISTER SISTER SISTER SISTER"
M "I...I...I'm not SISTER"
Me: "Dude, not now. There's a situation."
Thankfully, Ms. Nairume is also friends with Mal and knows how he acts when drunk, so she found it funny, despite the situation with her grandfather.
Mal then decided to call his sister. When he got her voicemail, all he could say was "So I heard you like Mudkips"
Beer #6
This one was kind of uneventful. There's the same banter as with beer #4, though the owner can't get away this time, as he's in a cast.
"Hey, what's with the cast?"
"I was in a motorcycle wreck."
"DUDE THAT MUST SUCK"
"Yeah, I can't drive a bike for a good while."
"Goddamn, that really sucks."
"Yeah, it does."
"Man, that sucks."
"Yup."
"Sucks."
The Quest is Redefined in the Council of Jeeprond
At this point, we're back in my jeep, driving towards the next bar.
"Hey, Nairume, you're a good friend. Nairume. You're the best friend I could ever have Nairume."
<car in the next lane honks at me>
"HEY FUCK YOU FUCKER"
<he rolls the window down and leans his upper torso and an arm out, flipping the guy off in the process>
"FUCK YOU YOU DO NOT HONK AT THE CAR OF MR NAIRUME THE BEST FRIEND EVER FUCK YOU I AUGHT TO KILL YOU YOU SORRY SACK OF SHIT HEY NAIRUME UNLOCK THIS DOOR SO I CAN BEAT THAT FUCKER UP WHY ARE YOU PULLING ME BACK IN AND ROLLING THE WINDOW UP AND LOCKING THE WINDOW
...you're the best friend ever Nairume.
(remember when I said to remember that Mal had been on a Lord of the Rings kick lately. Here's where it begins to pay off)
"Okay, I think you're done for the day. You're obviously not going to make it much longer.
"No no no, I'm fine. I can go the distance. Besides, we're on a quest."
"Yes, I know. You want to drink at every bar in town."
"What? No. That's not the quest. Our quest is to deliver the ONE RING of Sobriety to be destroyed in the Alcohols of Mount Drunk."
"What"
"Really"
"What"
"It's the only way we can defeat the Evil Bartendroun"
"We're hobbits now?
"Fuzzy little toes "
(He's probably joking at this point, but he does and says crazy stuff when drunk. I even caught him speak Gaelic once!)
We enter the lands of Bardor
Spoiler:
Beer #7
Uneventful. Completely uneventful. This is made even worse due to him sitting and nursing a single beer for almost 40 minutes. It's also painful that the girl bartender is trying to hit on him, but then gives up when he can only sit there, sipping his beer, muttering about the one ring.
Beer #8
Also uneventful, at least at first. While drinking, he struggles with his decision to order cheese-sticks or not.
"Nairume, should I get cheese sticks?"
"Are you hungry?"
"No"
"Then don't get cheese sticks"
"Oh, okay..."
"..."
"Hey, Nairume, should I get cheese sticks?"
"...are you hungry?"
"No"
"...you should totally get some cheese-sticks."
"But I don't want to spend any more money "
"...I'm going to the bathroom now."
"Okay bestest buddy in the whole world "
I'm in the shitter when I get a phonecall from him
"NAIRUME WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME? DID YOU ABANDON ME HERE? I DON'T SEE YOUR CAR OUTSIDE OH THERE IT IS! WHERE ARE YOU WHY DO ALL MY FRIENDS ABANDON ME"
I finish and walk out.
"OH YOU CAME BACK I KNEW YOU WERE A GREAT FRIEND WHERE DID YOU GO"
"I was in the bathroom, like I said I would be."
"OH YEAH I THOUGHT YOU HAD LEFT ME BEHIND BUT YOU WERE JUST TAKING A BIG OL' SHIT!"
Beer #9
This is also uneventful at first. He gets his beer, nurses it for a while, and bitches about the price. In front of the bartender.
Our friend (let's call him Sythas) shows up, having just got off of work and joins in on the celebration. I fill him in on the Quest to Destroy the One Ring of Sobriety. He laughs. Our attention turns back to Mal, who's swiped several of the bar/restaurant's match-books and is trying to light his napkin on fire.
We arrive at Mt. Drunk. Bartendroun is a very understanding hispanic man
Sythas decides that the final portion of the quest should be a great undertaking. He points out that the last open bar in town is also a mexican restaurant (he's hungry, so it works out both ways), which happens to serve Quarts of what is essentially the mexican version of Guinness for cheap. Mal really can't think for himself at this point and just nods his head to the suggestion.
Beer 10/11 (it might as well be two)
Sythas orders he and Mal the quart glasses of beer. Mal points out that he fucking hates mexican beer, but will drink it if Sythas finishes his (he's convinced that nobody can keep shitty mexican beer down). Food is also ordered. At some point, Sythas mentions how much he loves Habenero sauce, but nobody is willing to take some along with him. I'm game and try the stuff out on its own.
During this, Mal is taking forever to finish his beer, despite Sythas finishing his and me encouraging him.
"Dude, you're almost up Mt. Drunk. Sam and Gollum are there. Gollum is trying to grab the ring. YOU NEED TO DESTROY IT NOW. FINISH THE QUEST."
"...I need to go to the bathroom"
He stumbles off to the bathroom. I'm kind of annoyed that he's not finishing this stupid thing up so I we don't really have to suffer him getting any worse than he already was, and I was also feeling a bit devious. Thus, with Sythas laughing about it while it happened, I took the thing of Habenero sauce that we had, took Mal's food, and doused it with the sauce. Finally, I close the food up to hide the deed. Mal returns and proceeds to SCARF DOWN HIS FOOD WITHOUT ANY REACTION.
Sythas and Me:
Mal:
Sythas: Are....are you feeling okay?
Mal: Food was great, why not?
Sythas and Me:
He can't take his alcohol, but he can certainly take his hot sauces, apparently.
At any rate, the beer is still there, unfinished. Sythas and I are both ready to go, the tab's been paid, and I'm sure that the nice bartender is ready for us to go, too, as Mal's been kind of loud. He's also prone to saying racist things jokingly when he's sober, so he's going all out while he's drunk. Sythas and I begin to loudly encourage him to finish his beer. After enough prodding, he picks up the massive mug and chugs what was left of his drink. He slams it down, and does not say *anything* for a moment, with his head hung down. After a brief pause, he then stands up and staggers over to the door, without saying a single word still.
As he puts his hand on the door, he makes the most strangest sound I've ever heard. One of those sounds so out there that you can't even remember how it sounded, other than it's probably what Cthulhu sounds like when he's praying to the porcelain god. He then opened his mouth, and out flew this projectile torrent of orange vomit, which completely covered the middle and lower portion of the door. He then pushed the door open, lowered his head, and then projectiled all over the side-walk. Finally, he stumbled out into the parking lot and covered it with his vomit.
The poor restaurant owner looked out, shook his head, and went back in to grab a bucket of water. Sythas then helped clean up the mess.
Why wasn't I helping with the cleanup process? Because I had to make sure Mal didn't get into any more trouble. When he was finally done vomitting, he decided that his belt was too restrictive, tore it off, and threw it at Sythas's car. The belt was all that was keeping his shorts up, so they fell down around his ankles. He then decided that the highway looked pretty and started waddling towards it. I pretty much had to spend the next ten minutes grabbing him away from the side of the road and keeping his pants from falling down again.
The quest was done, however, and Mal had finally destroyed his sobriety completely. Gollum is now drowning at the bottom of Mt. Drunk trying to hold on to the One Ring. Meanwhile, Mal is curled up in a ball in his seat, only managing to moan as we drive back home. On the way, his phone beeps, signifying that he has a missed call. He checks his voice box with the speaker on. Apparently, his sister had tried to call him back, but, in her message, could only get out
"MAL? WHAT THE HELL IS A MUDKIPS"
Oh have I got roommate stories. I had two roommates with the same name. We will call the Mals: Young Mal and Old Mal. To start things off, here's the story of Young Mal as he crossed the boundary into the age of 21, a day he shall remember (or not) for booze, food, vomit, and Lord of the Rings. I'm just going to quote what I've written up in the past about it.
tl;dr: Horribly lightweight friend, over the course of 18 hours, drinks 3 bottles of wine, 11 dark and heavy beers, eats 3 full pizzas and a full mexican dinner secretly laced with habenero sauce. Projectile vomits orange vomit all over the bar door, sidewalk, and parking lot, then attempts to streak out into the highway. Also, Mudkips and Lord of the Rings.
holy shitIt's not about a roommate but a roommate's girlfriend:
