Are you OK to drive?

Back in the day, this boy could party. Having just graduated from college, it was a natural progression in life. My friends and I would spend many a weekend attending sporting events, bar-hopping, and just plain partying. I remember it fondly... ah, yes, the "lost" summer of '92. Every once in a while my friends from that time period and I will reminisce and it's not unusual for the following exchange to take place:

Friend 1: Remember the Summer of 92?

Friend 2: No.

Now, it's not as if we were drunk every minute of the summer-we did manage to hold down jobs. But, it's good fun to look back at that lost summer.

Another quote born of that summer was in relation to someone being able to drive at the end of the night. That exchange goes like this:

Friend 1: (to obviously inebriated Friend 2) Are you going to be OK to drive?

Friend 2: Sure. (long, dramatic pause) When?

Let's analyze the response more closely. Friend 2 is obviously drunk yet responds "sure, I'm OK to drive" to friend 1's question. Than, after pensive pause, Friend 2 adds, "when?" to his response. Friend 2 obviously can't drive now, but perhaps several hours later or in the morning, Friend 2 will be able to drive. Let's run through it one more time, more quickly.

Friend 1: Are you going to be OK to drive?

Friend 2: Sure. When?

That's funny stuff!

The older I get, the better I was

As legend goes, a former neighbor of a Never Not Funny staffer dropped a bag of shredded cheddar cheese while making a burrito. It wasn't a simple drop, oh no. In true Never Not Funny fashion, it was one of those drop-fumble-I've got it-drop again-bobble-I've got it again-bobble again-fall to the floor drops. Legend has it that this middle-aged white Anglo-Saxon protestant then stated, "A year ago, I would have caught that." Yes, the older I get, the better I was.

Fast-forward a few years and this legendary conversation where the phrase "the older I get, the better I was" was coined and we find thievery. Someone else has started making t-shirts with our slogan. Without our approval. Without even asking. Needless to say, we aren't receiving any royalty checks or anything, either.

Oh well, our loss is the world's gain. In the spirit of spreading Never Not Funny cheer, you can get your own gear at Old Guys Rule.
