These pictures were supposed to have remained hidden forever. Waaaay too embarrassing to show the world what happened to me in April/May 2024 during our Celebrity Beyond Caribbean Cruise to the ABC Islands. And "Beyond" is an appropriate name since I was Beyond redemption due to drinking waaaaaay too much on that cruise. Normally I am a moderate to even below moderate drinker but whenever I board a cruise ship in which I have the premium drink package I go waaaaay overboard in the drinking department. So although I wanted to keep these pics on the down low, I figured I should do for drinking what Yul Brynner did for smoking. Yes, kids, if you drink too much you will end up as I did during the cruise. So here is my PSA warning on that subject.
These pictures were taken by my wife when I plunged into one of the wading pools aboard the Beyond with the notion that immersing myself in water would help to relive my state of severe drunkenness. Guess what? It didn't work. All that happened was I ended up as a very wet drunk.
PING!
Well, when you buy the drink package, I can see you wanting to get your money’s worth. Kind of like heading for the crab legs at an all you can eat buffet?
Life is short, bud. Enjoy. Happy New Year.
This is my ool.
Notice there’s no P in it.
Let’s keep it that way!
I don’t swim in your toilet...
Did it work?
Don’t drink and dive!
Ever so thankful that cell phone cameras and social media didn’t exist “back-in-the-day”....
I’m sure many here would concur.
Oh yes.
I drink alone!
Yup! My crazy teenaged notions are blessedly gone forever to the extent that I can no longer even remember most of them. Gotta be hell these days when you post on social media as a teenager embarrass your future self. Oh, and not only posting as a teenager. How about only a slightly younger grownup posting EXTREME TDS rantings on Facebook and then soon afterwards being appointed to head the FBI Miami Field Office and one of the first thing you do is lead the raid on Mar-a-Lago followed a couple of years later by doing NOTHING in the investigation of an assassination attempt upon that same person.
BTW, there will SOON be a vacancy at the FBI Miami Field Office.
Glad I never liked alcohol.
To me, it tastes like a really bitter grapefruit no matter what else is mixed in.
Coffee is the same.
Back in 2002, I had a fraternity brother who was a heavy drinker. He got blasted on a cruise and jumped five stories off his deck, into the water. His plan was to swim back to the ship’s boat launch. Well, the idiot about killed himself and the cruise ship needed to full stop for his rescue. He hasn’t drank since and is a now a strong Christian.
hahahahahahah that picture did make me laugh!
When I was a young man, a bunch of us went out to a fire party in the woods, but before going, we picked up booze. One of my best friends picked up a bottle of Curacao Blue, which looked for all the world to the rest of us like a bottle of Electric Shave even though the color was more blue-ish than green-ish.
Well, he had too much, he was sick as a dog, and me and his best friend slung his arms over our shoulders and dragged the barely cognizant fellow back to his parents house about a half mile away.
It was late, and we thought we might get him into the house and get out before anyone knew we were there, but to our dismay when we opened the door and carried him in, his mother, a lovely, kind lady with catwoman glasses appeared in the kitchen in her bathrobe.
When she saw him, she walked over and seeing his unfocusable eyes said “Mark! What happened to you?”
He set his unfocused eyes on her and, from his soot colored face, mumbled something incomprehensible about “a fire” and his mother then looked at us with a completely sad and confused countenance, as if looking for an answer.
In unison, my friend and I did an about face and walked out of the house, leaving him to his fate!
Ever since then that tableau occasionally comes up, and we struggle with it saying “What WAS that blue stuff he was drinking that night? Never drink anything blue!”
NCR Cruise. I paid $11 for a Bud Light. No drinking afterwards.
Amazing Johnathan swore by it; said it prevented him from taking off his clothes and running amok.
It sure prevented my buddy from tearing off his clothes and running around!
I believe that’s the same exact face I’d make if’n I looked to my right and saw that giant booty.
