Thanks for your comment. I am assuming th...ANGELA ~<br />Thanks for your comment. I am assuming that it was also you who posted above under the name "Anonymous."<br /><br />Actually, I think I am somewhat in agreement with you. I didn't post this yesterday but I was thinking about it: The guy might be under the influence of BOTH alcohol and some sort of medication - perhaps even a legally prescribed medication. You know how some medications caution against mixing them with alcohol? <br /><br />I got to wondering if perhaps he'd had a bad reaction after drinking beer (or something) on top of some sort of pill(s). I've been plenty drunk many times in my youth, but never quite to that point. However, the lack of depth perception is definitely something that can occur as a result of being heavily intoxicated also - I know what it's like to reach for a door handle and miss it more than once, etc. <br /><br />So, yes, Angela, in the final analysis, I think you're right that the guy is on some sort of drug (legal? illegal?), but I also think this probably wasn't going to be his first drink of the day (if he had been able to get out the store with it). <br /><br />I guess it's a testament to our lingering humanity that everyone who has posted here has admitted to laughing but with a slightly guilty conscience. (Maybe there's hope for us yet, eh? Ha!)<br /><br />As for "WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS" . . .<br />I know that review is posted at Amazon.com but I can no longer recall whether or not I've also posted it somewhere on this Blog. Where did you read it? And your thoughts (if you wish to share them)? Are you thinking of getting a copy of it? I can make other (even superior) recommendations if you'd like.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again for your comment, Angela.<br /><br />~ Stephen<br /><"As a dog returns to his own vomit, <br />so a drunk goes back to the liquor store." <br />~ McCarthyisms 26:11>Stephen T.

I...He's probably trying to drink away his pain. I don't know. I've seen that walk one too many times. mostly by my family who are 99% alcohol themselves. I've seen people with degenerative disorders in my line of work. They usually walk with an assisted device (this guy doesn't have one) and I've never seen them jones for alcohol like this guy. I've worked with plenty of drunks during detox. This guy definately needs to sign up. Been around drunks my entire childhood and now in my professional life. This guy is intoxicated. He might have a mental disorder. A lot of alcoholics self medicate for undiagnosed bipolar disorder and depression. Still, I couldn't help but laugh. It's sad, yet, knee slappin funny. I hope the guy gets some help. We should pray for him after we stop laughing our back sides off.mousiemarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946780831209471709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272211918278108300.post-69092913641793343042009-10-20T19:35:57.846-07:002009-10-20T19:35:57.846-07:00BTW.

She came home one night waving her arm in the air saying "look...look...I can't stop moving my arm!". That guy is on drugs for sure! Missed depth perception is another giveaway. And that's why the first guy to comment is not wrong. He is acting retarded because the drugs make you temporarily retarded! Though agreed.

But I highly doubt it. I know that Thunderbird Walk too well; have seen it too often and have even walked The Walk myself more than once.<br /><br />Let's see . . . I recall walking down a gentle hill one night when my momentum carried me forward and I hit the asphalt and went skidding down the middle of the street. I recall riding a bicycle into the back end of a parked car (it suddenly jumped out in front of me, I swear it!) and flying over the handlebars to roll across the trunk and land in the street like Tony Baretta made out of rubber. And I remember one night taking a tumble going down the front steps of a bowling alley, doing a head-first somersault to the bottom, all the while extending my right arm out to my side in an attempt to save my gin and tonic. In each instance I was (like the guy in this video) way too drunk to get injured. <br /><br />The main difference between this bloke and myself, however, is that I was always able to pick myself up off the ground afterwards, unassisted. Personally, I feel that’s the thing which really indicates when a person has had one too many: if you fall and you can’t get back up again, you’re probably done for the night. Or for a few hours anyway. <br /><br />(Of course, you realize I’m discussing my ANCIENT past. My serious drinking daze are well behind me.)<br /><br />You know, Buddy, there’s nothing funny about this “stuffs” – it’s all pretty sad . . . <br /><br />So how come I’m still laughing?<br /><br />~ Stephen<br /><"As a dog returns to his own vomit, <br />so a drunk goes back to the liquor store." <br />~ McCarthyisms 26:11>Stephen T.

Okay, probably not, he was probably real drunk and it did look mighty funny. Actually, that looked like one of my friends back in Tennessee. Well, maybe one of my friend's kids.Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
