The worst time for me was a night time ride after a few beers. By worst time, I mean I ran into a parked car. By a few beers, I mean that I was 12 deep. I was so drunk I didn't feel it but the people who were in the car didn't find the humor in the situation.

Do ya'll think I could bring a cane or walking stick into Centeroo?
Serious question. Do you think they'd take it away?? I really don't want to take crutches.
JHo, I dont think they'd give you a hard time, if you had a handi-pass. I'd maybe get in touch with Roofolk about that handicapped camping pass and ask them about the cane at the same time.

We were at the community pool on Saturday. Two fine young lads were having a fun time saying inappropriate terms in increasing volume since their parents weren't in earshot. One term they said was "t*tty sprinkles". I immediately wondered how jp was doing in Korea.
I've been laying here with my foot propped up for all of 45 minutes, and I'm already bored. I'm not sure how I can do this all day. I need you guys to keep me entertained so I won't get up!

Hey guys! Guess who lost his drivers liscense an CC 15 minutes before an international trip.
DL is not that big of a deal, since no one in Europe cares about it, but the CC will be bad. Good Luck GL. Maybe they can next day you a new one over there.
I have a moral dilemma of sorts. My best friend is in South Africa, he wants to go to Roo, he's the one person with the most similar musical tastes to mine, we'd spend four awesome days doing what we do best after not seeing each other for over 6 months. His favorite band is Radiohead, in his own words this is "my dream Bonnaroo lineup." He has his entire life paid for in SA (rent, food, etc.) and he has the cash to buy the last-second plane ticket and Roo ticket if he wants. There is literally one single thing stopping me from making this happen.
His g/f. Who is also my best friend. She said she would never forgive me if I take his one trip home in 6 months and convince him to go to Roo instead of visit her. Her side: She lives in Utah, has a trade show for her artistic architectural firm the same weekend as Bonnaroo, and she hasn't seen the guy she wants to marry in the same length I haven't seen him. She never does anything selfish, and neither do I. I want to be able to go to Roo with my best friend, and he wants to go to Roo. She wants him to go to Utah, he wants her to go to Roo. She refuses.
What the f*ck do I do here? Just bite the bullet and tell my friend to go to Utah?
We both had the same reaction when I said it to him on the phone just now. "Yeah, I know it's the responsible thing to do, but ...... F*CK dude, Radiohead!?"
Remove yourself from the decision, Flanz. It sounds like it is something that they should be working out.
I was trying to figure out how to say that.
If my boyfriend decided not to come visit me because his friend told him not to, I'd be more mad that his friend's opinion had more of an effect than mine did than I would be that he didn't come visit me. Even the converse is true, if he did come visit me because his friend told him he should, I'd still be mad because he did it based on his friend's advice rather than because he wanted to visit/I wanted him to visit.

For the record, I'm not actively recruiting him to come. The chain of events were basically: I sent him the lineup (half to go through it with him, half to rub it in his face), he got sad/homesick, I felt (for the first time when messing with him, ever) like a d*ck, I suggested he come, he exploded in a fire of energy and excitement, he bought his Roo ticket, then we both did a collective "oh sh*t....." We knew she would not like what just transpired, so I told him to tell her, and if she says sell the ticket, sell it. He sold it.
What I didn't know is since that happened, he's been trying to convince her to let him come with me. So, she likely thinks I'm recruiting him daily, which I'm not. He really, really wants to go and what's insane to me is she likes this lineup more than either of us, but I feel like she's using this opportunity to take some kind of stand. I called and apologized, told her I loved her and that I wouldn't intentionally do something to strain their relationship, because they're my family and I want to do things to help them, not hinder them. She said thanks and ended the call.
But now he's saying he wants to do it. Throw caution to the wind, and all that. So, I'm not "in" the decision, so much as I'm the one being affected by it. The question isn't whether I should go with him, he's like me and the moment you tell him he can't do something he's doing that "thing" immediately. The question is do I tell him he can't come, or something like that, to force him to Utah? Do I just allow him to make his decision? I'm collateral damage, she's going to f*ckingggggggggggg kill us, but she also is madly in love with him and she loves me like a big brother. I know she'll get over it, but I hate upsetting her.

GOD DAMMIT.
He's a grown adult. I don't think you should try to 'force' him to do anything. I'd just back off and let him make his own decision, and try to stay out of it as much as possible. It's his decision and his alone, so if she misdirects her anger at you if he decides to come, that's her issue (or their issue, really).

Let him and the girlfriend figure it out. There's no reason for you to be responsible for his choices and you shouldn't be given shit for wanting to accompany him to the festival. Sucks for her if he chooses Roo over seeing the girl. Tell him you really want him to go but it's his choice and he should deal with the result

So, barring unforeseen circumstances, I think we've decided to go back to Roo next year. It'll be my first since '07. Every year I miss it a little more, and this year I've been particularly jealous of y'all getting ready to go. I figure if we've got a year to plan, we should be able to pull it off.
