Pre-Beerluck Debauchery

Anticipation of a beerluck can bring peculiar thoughts into the mind of a beerluck goer. We've all had inklings of doubt about going out on the pop the night before or even the Friday night before. But if you're like me, you don't let those pangs of clarity keep you from the true mission.

I'd like this post to accomplish two things. First, we'll play the game of choosing, from the multiple choice quiz below, which things did and/or did not occur last night -- the Friday before Beerluck. Next, we'll play the game of predicting what will and will not occur at Beerluck V.

'Twas the Friday before Beerluck V, and all through the SOMA:

(a) Ashwin and I slapped each other
(b) "Dishoom, baby" occurred at a profound level and swept Gordon Biersch as the latest sensation
(c) Michael Bolton showed up and shared stories of the witness protection program
(d) Eric and Jade got freakalicious on the Gordon Biersch dance floor next to a geriatric couple
(e) The Wicked Witch of the West made an appearance (and may or may not have pooped in Rajen's shoes)
(f) The VIP area was raped and pillaged for booze
(g) A flask of Dewar's was not-that-inconspicuously consumed in the bar.
(h) Many of us, including myself, rounded third. And I'm not talking about girls.
(i) Scotch was ordered and poured down gullets.

Now, in the comments, your input is requested. What are your predictions for Beerluck V?

Here are mine:

(a) Someone will hop the fence and steal our neighbors' childrens' toys... again.
(b) Neighbors will be angered at the exposure of certain Indian guests to their wives, dogs and other familial riff raff.
(c) Cashew feni will rear its ugly head, and may, as I learned last night, be actually enjoyed by no more than one individual. Swapnil, I'm talkin' to you.
(d) A bunch of random people will NOT show up this time, though more fools will be drinking in our house than an "intimate gathering" can accurately describe.
(e) Late in the night, some form of indoor wrestling will occur, to my dismay and unsolicited participation.


I hope your contributions are much funnier.

Finally: do you believe in life after Beerluck? If so, you may prepare yourself for it by perusing this brief piece of literature.
