"Naked and hungover in the US embassy bushes
He won't be the first 18 year old Stockholmer to wake up wondering where he is after a night of hard partying. But he is the first - and probably the last - to discover that he has come round in the grounds of the American embassy.
Naked and confused, the young man tried to hide himself in the embassy bushes on Sunday morning. But after a while he was caught and questioned by police.
"He thought he was taking part in some sort of game and had been given the task of hiding," said inspector Britt-Inger Kihlström at Norrmalm police.
"It's not clear who gave him the task and who he was hiding from."
Police have ruled out the possibility that the 18 year old had any political motive for breaking into the grounds.
He has said that he was drinking with friends at a private party and then went on to a bar in Stureplan which closed at 3am. He remembers little else after that.
"But he thinks he took the bus towards Östermalm and that he crept around outside Swedish Radio and Swedish Television," said Kihlström.
Somehow he managed to discard his own clothes, since nobody else appears to have helped him, said Britt-Inger Kihlström. She added that the police have not found his personal effects.
Then he climbed over the wall into the grounds of the US embassy, but he did not remember exactly where.
Kihlström said that the young man seemed surprised by the conclusion to his evening out.
The 18 year old was allowed to sober up and was then released. Under the circumstances he was said to be feeling fine. However, he may yet face charges for trespassing.
Britt-Inger Kihlström explained that the prosecutor would decide with the US embassy whether to press charges or to let the matter pass as a harmless prank."
Let's just get it out of the way now;
"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
Drunk, naked, and Swedish is no way to go thru life, son.
I guess they can skip the pat down.

Is the yout's first name, Achmed?
Whooee! Can you imagine the questioning he got, & all the while feeling like he had to barf!
I'd say he is lucky he didn't wind up in the Saudi embassy grounds. Wonder what they would have cut off as punishment?
Alcohol is a great invention, although it's unlikely to improve your role-playing game performance, as illustrated in the article above.
Roll intitive!
Heehee. Funny as usual.
Joseph Kennedy to a young Ted - date unknown - results clear, however...advice not taken.
Thanks, but I only steal from the best.

My own adventure in Wahington-short version. Went to convention at 19 years old in 1980.(it was legal to drink at this age back then). Hooked up with some Texas boys who introduced me to mescal.
At 3 am, half-drunk we were passing the USSR embassy, so we pissed on the fence. Didn't get caught though.
Marvelous - thats a 10!
Ah, college days...
Just Because.
Could be worse. Could be drunk, naked, and French.
The folks working inside the embassy were probably envious of you. You were doing something they'd have been shot for if they did it themselves. ;-)
