That's okay though, tomorrow is date night.  This is it boys, I'm going to the dairy queen and drinking triple chunk highballs until I territorially piss across several tables.  Surely, the many times sober and wasted I have been through conversations will carry me here, nay, I have been deafened from the crowd.  I realize now that many of these people never genuinely hear one word from eachother, but nod and mimic the same gestures like parrots immitating speech.
