Title: Weekend Chronicles: Life in marvelous times....
Post by: 1kind on September 14, 2009, 03:59:24 AM
It's 20h30. I have been steadily downing alcohol throughout the day. The rate at which i empty beers into my throat increases after watching Arsenal lose, and Man U win.

My friends decide to move onto greener things. Weed smoke fills the room. I do not partake this time around. I move onto my more traditional poison. 1 part Russian Bear vodka to 4 parts Stoney ginger beer. It is an innocuous mixture.

We run out of alcohol but it's okay because everyone feels their fair share of the buzz. We decide to move the party into town. The cab will take an hour. We will have to wait, because this cab driver is cheaper.

In town the cab driver drops us off right in front of Marvel. I convince my friends to come in with me. They are persuaded by the sight of beautiful, young woman dancing seductively on the tables. One of them is wearing what would barely pa** as a skirt. A closer look may be in order.

Inside I feel comfortable. The music is not my preference but the tempos and sounds are within my reach. My friends are into house music. They decide to buy drinks and look for somewhere to stand in the crowded club. There are many familiar faces, to which i nod politely. I also partake in my meet-and-greet rituals. After an hour the DJ plays some cla**ics. We all scurry towards the over-populated 'dance floor' to sing along. Unfortunately this brings more people onto the floor. My friends becoming claustrophobic. We need to leave urgenlty.

We take the party to La Reference. The big ba** of house music is being chunred out of two struggling speakers. The sound is too loud it distorts. The pain in my ears adds to my irritation. I comically put my hands over my ears. Some of the patrons look at me disapprovingly.

The good thing about this place is CHEAP QUARTS. Within an hour i have downed 2.25 litres of Black Label.

The music starts feeling good. The mixture of African drums and exotic instruments get me to my feet. This is what they call deep house.
I'm alone on the dance floor . Intoxicated. The music makes me think of heavenly spaces. I'm in a trance. i close my eyes and sway giddily.

All of a sudden my world is interrupted by some Bojo-mujo sounding house with Xhosa lyrics. My world becomes infiltrated by women's shrieks. I'm caught off-guard when this sweet looking young lady looks at me and shouts out the words. Luckily the words are quite repetitive. within no time I'm as animated in my chanting as the rest of them.

The Dj starts mixing the tracks. I don't know the upcoming song. My 'house' friends look comfortable. Apparently the song is from Big Nuz. The words are not as repetitive. Everyone else is belting out the words at the top of their voices.

In my drunken frustrationI scream out,  "House music is shit! Yikaka le iculwa apha!"

Everyone else laughs. However 2 guys are offended by my comments. They approach me. They are BEE-fattened. They look intimidating in their inappropriately tight fitting golf shrts tucked into their Chinos. Their belts are struggling to hold back the overflowing bellies.

One guy steps closer to me and calls me a coconut. I tell him that he has enough rolls on his neck to feed Somalia for a month.

A fight breaks out.

I wake up the next morning with a ma**ive headache. My knucles have painful cuts on them and my ribs are painful.

My friends fill me in. They tell me that house music makes me violent...

I'll never listen to Big Nuz again.

Lol.... first of all pussy helmets!!! that's funny motho. the problem is that it doesn't offer much protection for your fishy parts because some of these guys have xxx-ray vision. Ya'll can make the job of undressing you with eyes much easier.

@ Tuboy. I'll be ripping mics from heaven if i had to. There are many familiar faces there anyway...

@Deacon... Long street festival of 2006 the bouncer from Joburg lifted me by the collar. My feet were dangling dangerously close to his balls. Instinctively i swung my right foot and caught him in his soft bits. The dude just winced. He didn't let go. I caught a beating. I'm as skinny as they come... 1.76m weighing 60kg.

So i'd like to make a few alterations to your proposed equation.

Deacon's Hypothesis:

Skinny guy + kick / big guy = Possible Victory + dignity (and lay)

Onek1nd's corollary:


Skinny guy + Run / big guy  = Guaranteed survival - Dignity (x preserved facial features for future lay)

Can anyone actually explain to me why those red-jacket animals get away with beatings that are tantamount to attempted murder?  I've had a few run-in's with them too, but i was lucky to escape unscathed...mostly because i've seen the kind of damage they inflict.

So, do they have some license to beat? If not, why is it that they do not get charged more often for a**ault?

Aforementioned

Weather-beaten

swig

I have had a busy week. I wake up on Saturday morning exhausted. 11h00...

The first thing that comes to mind disturbs me slightly. I don't want to eat immediately. I don't want to urinate immediately. I don't even want to hammer down my morning wood immediately. The first thing I want is a drink!

After I proceed to take care of the aforementioned urges, I head out. The trek from Muizenberg to the livelier parts of Cape Town takes 30 minutes on a train. I cannot wait that long for a drink

I visit the pricey, local bottle store. It is strange to see weather-beaten appearance of   alcoholics on white faces. They are funnier to look at. I'm not sure whether that's because of the sunburnt appearance, or the racist inside of me.

They keep the smaller bottles of strong alcohol at the counter. I'm not sure how to tell the lady what i want. Where I come from, half a bottle is called a 'straight' and half of that is called a 'nip'. I'm not sure this Muizenberger will understand. I point to the 'nip' of Russian bear. I happily part with my R20.

At the station I take large swigs of the toxic vodka. Surely this is not healthy. It burns my throat and takes my breath away for a few seconds. I make sure my lips don't come into contact with the vodka. I'm trying to avoid those excessively pink lips. I have a genetic predisposition  to this condition because most of my uncles have the sexy pink lip.

I plan everything out. I’ll get into the first carriage. Each time I need a swig, I’ll walk into the convenient space between the carriages. When I’m finished I’ll just walk into the next carriage as if nothing happened.

I meet up with my friends. They laugh at my antics and desperation. I haven’t been paid yet…I have R100 which needs to last till Wednesday.

My mind buzzes with calculations. I compare prices, alcoholic percentage, current levels of dignity. The vodka has helped in lowering the latter, which makes my decisions slightly easier.

My budget does not allow for the likes of Jack Daniels, Red Heart, or Jameson. However my dignity is still too high to go for the likes of Zorba, Alaska peppermint, Cane or Autmn harvest crackling. Finally I decide to go for it. I decide to go back to the 5l boxes of wine.

I’ve never had good experiences with boxed wine. It resulted in me breaking up with 2 girlfriends. It was responsible for getting me mugged. I’ve also spoken it tongues under the influence of boxed wine. I consider it to be the devil’s urine.

Hard times dictate.

While reaching out for the cheapest boxed…marked ‘semi-sweet rose’ I experience an out of body experience.

I think back to the time we used to make fun of the alcoholics in the township who would skillfully remove the silver bag from the box. How they would hold the bag above their heads, and suckle on it like drunken calves. How we would sneak up on them when they pa**ed out, and finish off the remainders. How we would laugh at their ‘phuza face’. How we would mischievously kick and punch their lame bodies. I thought about how they used to fight over the ownership of the silver bags…they were useful when going to swim in the pool.

SCREW that. I’m broke and thirsty. I take the wine. It sets me back R50 for 5 litres. It works out cheaper than the cheapest quarts of beer. Plus it creates more work for the grape-pickers in Paarl. We know how well they are treated. This is my ode to them. All those victims of the Dop system, you are not alone. I am here with you. Solidarity.


I brought back the wine. My friends looked at me disapprovingly. I downed the 60% of the box. I pa**ed out.

I’ll do it again next weekend!

LOL this dude is seriously hilarious, you drank crackling? my god man cmon, a person with an internet access is not supposed to drink such stuff, don't you get it? you too phly for that crap, you should be messing around with the likes of Johnnie walker and Jameson.

its amazing what this recession is doing to human's, i think im going to go for a more cheaper alternative, perhaps limosin and some long black labels for at least a month. that should be enough saving for the upcoming festive season.

What i drank was a cheap, boxed wine called Cape Collective. Serve it chilled for greater tasting pleasure.

Post by: 1kind on October 06, 2009, 11:39:58 AM
I had a long weekend. iLong week ende. My New Year's resolution had been to cease alcohol consumption. However, it was necessary to come up with a midyear’s resolution that served as a slight adjustment to the failed New Years resolution. I had decided to drink less.

After the weekend of the infamous 'papsak’, I was reminded of the late comedian Mitch Hedberg when he said, "The other day I saw a wino eating grapes and I was like...Dude you have to wait."

However, this weekend was far too pleasant. I would gladly sacrifice many livers and pancreases for weekends like these.

It all started on Thursday at Scrumpy Jack in Obs. The R24 litre jug of beer is the main attraction and most popular choice among the patrons (who are mostly exchange students). Over time, I have established a most ridiculous ritual. After purchasing a jug or two at the bar, I ensure that I turn to the closest American girl. I tilt my head back slightly and calmly say, “Nice jugs.” My record of accomplishment at Scrumpy is dismal.

After listening to some brilliant American folk music at Mojo, we head to town. Apparently Ill-Skills will be at Zula Bar. Come on, surely not. Again? Weren’t they here two weeks ago and a week before that? We step into Zula Bar, and lo and behold. Ill skills are on the bill once again. One would expect me to be bored of these ubiquitous appearances. I am not. I like their music. I like their energy. I like their groupies.

After midnight, I always fall into the Zula trap. This is when they start selling Double brandy with coke at R16. I down many of these while I start opening up to strangers about my life’s ambitions.

Four of my friends arrive. They are round and plump. They study ‘film and media’. In a stroke of genius, I have dubbed them The Telechubbies.

Zula starts to close down. The party moves to Marvel. By now, it is a sea of drunken lunatics screaming out their most obscene lines from Lil Wayne or Drake.

After grabbing a couple of drinks for my Telechubbies I settle down on a quiet table. A guy spills his drink on my shoulder. I reprimand him in the most intimidating voice I can muster. He quickly reaches into his pocket in the most animated fashion. I fear the worst. I have always fantasised about being shot at a club. It would put me up there with the famous deaths. Unfortunately, this fool pulls out an identity card of some sort. Above his funny picture, the words National Defence Force appear prominently. He pushes the card towards my face, points at the wording, and warns me not to start something I will not finish. I shrink back into my seat. I look around to make sure no one has witnessed this embarra**ing moment.

Last Call at Marvel is the funniest. The music is faded out. Moans and groans fill the room. I tell the bouncers I will be out as soon as a finish my drink. The last stand is about to take place. The bouncers versus us, the rebels. There are many of us today and the bouncers have their work cut out for them. My comrades start singing the national anthem of South Africa. We sing in drunken unison. Unfortunately the bouncers are experienced. Their strategy is to forcefully remove us one at a time. It is a highly effective strategy. As each one of our comrades is shoved out the door, we bid him farewell. “Na-na-na-na, Hey hey hey. Goooodbyeeeee!”

I wake up on Friday morning with a legendary hang over. I look like an anorexic Masai warrior. My head feels like it has turned into rice krispies. I snack, crackle and pop out of bed. I am late for my first meeting with my girlfriend’s sister. Luckily, my charm is still intact. The innocent smile helps.

I round off my Friday night at a formal event at the Bay Hotel in the waterfront. I have never eaten starters before. My dinner etiquette is a mess. However, any shreds of shame had been removed earlier thanks to Flex Bender (my favourite Kentucky Bourbon).

Saturday we wake up and go at it again. Unfortunately, we have stretched our budget. We have to settle for SOCO (ladies) and Smirnoff (gents). We head to the TV room at my friends University Residence. We hijack the big screen TV by plugging in our X-box. We lock the door and it’s FIFA la Revolution.

Sunday, a world of pain descends upon me. My girl nurses me back to life. Through all my puking, crying, sniffing and promises of never drinking again, she rubs my back and tummy. She cleans up my mess. And fixes me something to eat. This is love.

 I like the way you write :) (no Sodomite)

I think you should do what I did and abandon your dreams of medicine and be a writer.

Flex Bender is the shit, but doesn't come close to Knob Creek or Maker's Mark. It is nice that they add lime for you though.

It's funny that you should say that. It has crossed my mind many times. However I'll try find a way to either combine the two, or juggle them. I'm just curious, how did you know I was studying medicine?

I've heard so many horror stories about bikes till I decided not to get one. I'll get another one only if I marry a white woman 'cause I know they can keep a husband with no limbs.

It all started on Thursday at Scrumpy Jack in Obs. The R24 litre jug of beer is the main attraction and most popular choice among the patrons (who are mostly exchange students).


So how many of those jugs have u managed to clock up onek1nd, i hear you get a price of some sort of you can beat the current record?
Title: Re: Weekend Chronicles: Life in marvelous times....
Post by: 1kind on October 06, 2009, 06:37:10 PM
Motho I have looked at that leaderboard many times. The current record is 15 jugs in one night. I searched for the record holder on the interweb. The results show that he suffered 'alcohol poisoning'. He is now brain dead and living with the white woman who encouraged him on the night.

@ Pyro. About the AG expo... ;D. It's the first time I've heard someone openly admit to being a stalker.

@ Detective... I remember once upon a time you caught feelings because your style of underwear was exposed.  ;D Are you sure you want to encourage these expos.

@ AA. I'm not sure what a flash novel is.

Not a stalker, I just automatically know things. Info seems to follow me, whether I want it or not.

Those pics were cool. Maybe that is why RR wants us to do more exposions. You should take more of those RR

i had the most lamest weekend ever, wanna know why? because i had little booze to drink after a long drought i intentionally caused upon my throat.

there was i thinking missing alcohol for 14 days would make it more tastier and smooth when i sip it again. i a**umed
everything would be different and i would fel like it was the first time. it was such a shock to discover that everything i

had a**umed was wrong, completely wrong. amstel is my god, i always look up to it. im always chamred by its nice

looking green and gold bottle. marzen gold has always been my savior. ive laways counted on it when the recession took

its part in my miserable life. it is 2 bucks cheaper than amstel so its a more better alternative than black label. finamcially black is the best but based on quality marzen unreluctantly takes the crown.

the traven near the campus destroyed every ambition i had about alcohol this past weekend, couldnt believe my ears
when the bar man told me that neither the amstel or a marzen gold was available, i had to make an instant decision
because thirst was eating me alive. decided to go for black which was something i never thought of sipping that day, its a pity i only had 90 bucks. it sucks to drink alone when u broke. little did i know that this black was also not available. wtf!!!

i had to buy castle lite on a saturday night, like what the f*** man???? castle f***ing lite??? if theres one beer i hate it has to be castle lite, i can make that shit by myself, pour a little soda water on a galss half filled with castle lager and then im on business. i had to take my anger out on someone, so i chose to tell some youngin to piss off my face coz he scrares the shit out of me, when he talked back i tried to slap him before he could finish, some dude broke the fight and i was booted out of the joint and now thanks to reckless and sole drinking i now had a bruised back and a painful neck.

that's a myth designed to keep you from going for that record, come on. You know you want to. Ill even buy your first jug for u and organise a type of "rent-a-crowd" to cheer u on... come on

challenge accepted Motho. Give me 3 weeks to detoxify... End of October we'll do it. But you need to organise a couple of people to come with me. I cant do it alone.
