First Times, and a "Moment.."

Captain Morgan is an evil bastard, and I think we shall no longer be socializing with him. He has provided me a fun filled morning full of hung over man, and scrubbing the husband's vomit off the door jamb of the laundry room.... The husband will of course be miserable, as this is the first time in his life he has puked from liquor consumption. I have done it many times- thankfully, not recently. I have to take it easy on him, though.... being his first time and all- he now knows the pain I have experienced.

"The Moment"
Ever have one of those nights when you or those around you drink too much- to the point having that "moment"? In "Wayne's World" it was the "I Love You, Man," Moment... however in the real world, just saying Thank You is never enough.

It's that night when your buddy drinks WAY more than you, then decides to corner you on the way to the bathroom, to have one of those "moments"? Slurring they say... "You know what? You're alright. I really think you're pretty cool." Then they come at you, stumbling like the movie zombie, arms outstretched to lock you up in a bear hug. A very odd hug, indeed, as the inebriated hugger takes the mostly sober huggie on a bobbing and weaving adventure in balance control. He is of course, during the hug, slurring and spouting more words of undying devotion and friendship into your shoulder. It's sweet, but there comes a time, very soon when you want them to let go, as you fear they will take you down with them in a spin of death slam to the floor.

It was not only Scott- because when I got home, Heidi called to tell me Scott was walking about the kitchen hollering and looking for food like a grizzly bear invading a campsite, and told me that it was about time that her husband cornered me for "a moment", as Kevin has been doing it to her during our partying nights together. Except that her moments are more along the lines of Kevin thinks she dislikes him in some way, and he is very apologetic about... something... but she doesn't know what- as by that point she is laughing her ass off.

The worst were the moments they had to have in front of us with each other- I swear I saw a tear in their eyes. Male bonding at it's best. "I love you, man. I am gonna miss you so bad when you leave. You're my best...(sniffle)... friend I have ever made in the Air Force..." blah blah blah, then they grab each other as if in the throws of a fight to the death and hug each other- and try not to fall down doing it.
