Blood for Buddy's B-day

Blood for Buddy's B-day

It was the Fall of 2001 and my buddy just turned 20 that day. The day was full of friends saying Happy Birthday to him and treating him to all kinds of Birthday activities. I on the other hand was trying to come up with a way to make his twentieth birthday a blast. But, first I needed money.

I went to the clinic to give plasma. The damn Plaz people fucked up my arm and I didn't even get paid. At that point, I think I was too weak to think of any good birthday ideas and I was very worried that his birthday was gonna suck.

Later on that night, we went down to the local gas station to get some munchies. On the way back, we found a case of Budweiser (A blessing from God I'd figure). It was just sitting there on the ground!

So, on the walk back, we cracked open a few buds and started pounding. A couple beers later, about a block from campus, we both up-chucked everything we had eaten that day. I guess we were just too excited about the free beer that we didn't notice how unbelievably skunked it was.

Never again will we drink anything that is leftover on the street.
