Experiments in Poor Judgment · 4:19am Jan 18th, 2014
Okay folks, here's the deal:
I taught undergrads for five hours today, and I'm beat.
It's Friday night and I don't have anything useful to do (except write pony words).
I went to Costco on Tuesday and picked up three very large bottles of Québécois beer: "La Fin du Monde", "Trois Pistoles", and "Maudite". This is the order in which I will be drinking them tonight. I will drink at least one, and I may drink all three, and by Celestia's hoary eyebrows, a good time will be had.
I've created a gDocs document called "Bradel Writes a Story". I encourage anyone who's bored this evening to come by and chat, and perhaps help me write something. I really don't have any ideas for stories yet, but I've got 2.25 liters of high-alcohol-content beer, a relatively undamaged liver, and a license to drive write substandard, drunken pony words.
I think I know that beer. The one's with the corks? Good luck, you'll need it.
I see no possible downsides from this.

We're debating the story right now. EQD pre-readers unsurprisingly have demanded clop. Negotiations are ongoing.
I see some possible downsides from this.

Requests have ceased. The story is officially:
"Twilight Sparkle Investigates – Episode 1: Beer"
1730099 Actually, that sounds like it has some fun potential.
Dear lord, this is a fantastic thing I am witnessing. Thank you, me, for deciding to check FimFic one more time before turning in.
Okay, we're on to Beer #2, a dark ale with, again, 9% alcohol by volume. We're also 619 words in.
Drunk writing livestreaming. Good concept.
I am aware of those beers. They are (in?)famous.

Nah, they just come in a three-pack sampler at Costco. I'd been wanting to try "La Fin du Monde" for a while because it has an awesome name / label, and getting the others was just enough bonus to make me buy them.
1125ml down.
831 words (assuming my memory lasts longer than 20 seconds right now) and 1500ml down. We're moving on to Maudite, which means "Damned" in French.
Damned if I do, damned if I don't. Such an appropriate name.
Welcome to the machine.
If I don't comment about how hilarious I find him when drunk, Bradel is going to make a sad face at me.
This needs to be a weekly thing.

Thanks for the vote of approval, but this is not going to be a weekly thing. I can already hear the plaintive whines of my liver after this week.
:-(
This was a lot of fun, but tomorrow is not going to like me....

Still, this needs to happen again. Maybe once your liver is feeling better. Hopefully not between Sun and Wed.

Right now, all I can think is "Why did I do this". Though a lot of people seemed to have fun, which really answers the question right there.

Dude? Once a month. It'd be fun as hell, and you'd get to try out different alcohols in the process. Maybe you'll find a few you really like!
That wasn't so much "Bradel Writes a Story" as it was "Bradel has a Breakdown."
Hilarious to watch, of course, either way...

I'm told through other channels that the above could be taken as mean. So. Um. Sorry. Didn't mean to be unpleasant like that.
1730708
Aww, I was (mostly) kidding when I said that was mean.
It was certainly deserved!
For those who were perhaps wondering, this was an unexpectedly delightful affair.
