The Snippets Ain't Sober
Posted December 20th, 2006 by Nathan DeGraaf
Me: I have decided that from now on, I will never drink again.
Pat: And I have decided that from now on, you are a liar.
Me: Fair enough.
Dave: You want a beer?
Me: Nope. I quit.
Dave: Ah ha ha. No, really? You want a beer?
Me: Really, I quit.
Dave: Hey Frank, you got an update on the current temperature in hell?
Frank: I hear you quit drinking.
Me: Yup. I'm on the wagon.
Frank: I got twenty bucks that says that wagon pulls into the nearest bar before two weeks is up.
Tom: Two weeks. Hell, I'll bet you don't last four days.
Ian: I'll bet you don't get through the night.
Me: Maybe I should join Alcoholics Anonymous.
Tom: Man, that's just a place to meet chicks.
Me: You really think that AA is just a place to meet chicks?
Tom: Oh yeah. I used to do it all the time. You just go in, find some chick, take her out to dinner, where she invariably has a drink, then you laugh about how stupid AA is, then you take her home, get her stoned, and fuck her.
Me: You're going to hell.
Tom: Well, at least I know we'll still be able to hang out.
Frank: Screw this, man. Let's go to the bar.
Tom: Deal.
Dave: I'm in.
Ian: Yeah, I'll drive.
Me: I'll go, too. Hey, don't look at me like that. Just 'cause I'm not drinking doesn't mean I can't socialize.
Ian: Like I said, no way he gets through the night.
Me: Your faith in me is really outstanding, you know that?
Dave: No, Nate. Our faith in you is based on experience.
Jenny: Hey, can I buy you a drink?
Me: Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? I mean, aren't I supposed to buy you a drink?
Jenny: Well, you don't have one. Plus, how am I gonna take advantage of you if you're sober?
Me: Rum and Coke, please.
Dave: So, not only did you drink last night; you got sloppy drunk and banged some random chick?
Me: That's the long and the short of it.
Dave: So, how long did you go without drinking?
Me: Thirty eight hours.
Dave: Yeah, I don't think the AA makes a chip for that, lush.
Me: Hey, I got laid. That's all that matters.
Dave: So are you gonna try to abstain from drinking, again?
Me: Well, I got to thinking about it and I was like, fuck it.
Dave: Welcome back, Nate.
Me: Thanks for having me.
Pat: And I have decided that from now on, you are a liar.
Me: Fair enough.
Dave: You want a beer?
Me: Nope. I quit.

Yea I try stayed saying sober I lasted 3 days and then had a 4 day bender to get over it. Maybe I'll stop smoking instead.
Best set of snippets yet
I think we all knew how that was going to end after getting over the initial shock of Nate saying he was going to stop drinking.
Quitters never win Nathan! They never win...
Yeah for me it's typically I'm never going to drink again, and this time I mean it... (well at least til the bar opens...)
Cheers!
You honestly scared me there for a second
I laughed - HARD at the first little bit. That is great.
