OR, we could all just p*** in our pants.
Half of those drunken twits wouldn't know if they did anyway. Especially after they've finished PUKING on themselves after their allotment of three beers.

I strongly considered peeing in a cup once. It probably didn't happen. But I missed more songs in thought then I would've if I just went to the bathroom. Surreal.

A few years ago at the Tampa show, a guy in the row behind me just whipped it out and whizzed at his seat. A fight started, his aim wasn't very good and he splashed someone.

Someone did that in the VIP area at Jones Beach a few years ago and splashed my friend - it was truly disgusting and he was escorted out - what was really sick was he couldn't figure out why they were making him leave.

So maybe those drunken obnoxious Parrotheads as heard/described on the Howard Stern snippets weren't all that rare after all?

I think that stuff happens at many/most concerts and sporting events where tailgating and pre-show/game partying is part of the culture. Parrot Heads are just an easy target by the media.

From what I recall, I've only taken a bathroom break at two concerts, and both times were to accompany friends, not serving my own needs. I regretted them both, as the lines are utterly ridiculous, and many songs were missed.

Went at intermission at Wrigley, and missed WDWGD which was no biggie, La Vie Dansante which was upsetting, and Banana Republics which was devastating! I was so mad - one of my biggest concert regrets! Didn't make it back until partway through Southern Cross.

I think Alpine 2010 was also an intermission departure, 3-songs missed, including Nadirah singing Creola, which was most upsetting.

At least in line at Alpine, I could still hear. But at Wrigley, the bathrooms were in under the seats, and couldn't hear anything other than the annoying drunken women in line.

I'll never bathroom break again.

Incidentally, a friend's friend, a tall beautiful 40-something girl, stands up on the beer decks at Alpine for the show, and when she has to go, has the uncanny ability to merely pull her shorts to the side and pee in a cup in the crowd, then throws it in the garbage. She did it the first Buffett show I went to, and other times since, and to this day it simply amazes me!

I am proof positive that reincarnation happens. Apparently in a previous life I was a ten year old school girl, and I still have her bladder. Once I break the seal, I am a doomed man. And anyone who has tailgated with me knows that moderation in beer consumption is usually not part of my plan. Therefore I must find a break song. I try to wait until 5 o'clock (the song, not the hour), Volcano, or Brown Eyed Girl, but I usually can't make it past the 8th or 9th song, so sometimes I've managed to screw myself out of hearing something good. (And this includes me stopping on the way in, so you can see what I mean about a small bladder.) Oddly though, even if I continue to drink inside the concert area (if? IF? Who the hell am I kidding?) once I hit that 8th/9th song break, I'm good until the show ends and I make an "on the way out" stop. And as for making sure there are two songs in a row amateurs, trust me, I wait until it is TIME TO GO NOW!! so it doesn't take me longer than one song. Remember, I cut my concert going teeth on Grateful Dead shows, where the crowd never met a sink that didn't double as a urinal...
So I've had numerous drunken binges, shared countless hours of good times and laughter, wore a shirt made specifically for me mocking my distain for Tony Romo around a Great Woods parking lot, repeated again with a Skater Mom Boy Toy Shirt that I still own proudly, partied with in atleast 4 - 5 different states over the years, drove across half the state of Florida listening to boy bands which prompted a mini - movie made by our good friend C-Dawg after a 48 hour alcohol fueled legendary sleepless day and nights across Key West, I won't even mention the lawn at Buffett in NC other than stating I won't mention it . . . all with a ten year old school girl trapped in the body of 40 year old fella who likes to spin a good yarn while watching his friend fall of the bar stool at the Schooner Warf . . . :D

I am okay with this.
By any chance are you referring to THIS mini-movie? :lol: :lol: :lol: :P

I NEEDED THAT! Thank you Nancy!

I would thank Chris (C Dawg) for shooting the video and posting it, originally, on buffettnews and on youtube. I would also thank Jack (Popcorn) and Chris for what is, to this day, a small part in an epic weekend that remains one of the best three day spans of my life. :D We must do this again sooner than later. I think my body is recovered just enough to do to it. :lol:
