The Thanksgiving That Was Not

The last thing I recall is checking the temperature on the smoker. I woke up and it was dark outside. I thought it was early morning. No, it was night. I have two gashes in my head. One above my right eye and one above my left temple. One hell of a shiner. I have not been successful at gathering the details of how I found myself in this condition. I did somehow manage to procure a new girlfriend. Tequila is a hell of a drug. I guess I'm going to eat some cold turkey for dinner.

You're on the right side of the grass. Sometimes that is enough to carry a person through the day.

Dude...

Well done on the finding yourself some personable company front old chap, but it might be wise to get those gashes checked out at a hospital, and get them to check for any neurophysiological damage which might have been done by either the tequila, or the intersection of your skull and an appropriately sized and shaped object of indeterminate dimensions and qualities.

Neither of the positions of the wounds you have described fill me with anything but concern, since the area around your orbits, and the temples are both known to be bloody nasty places to take a head wound of any severity, leave alone one which might involve some sort of blunt force trauma. Please ensure that you make every effort to have yourself examined by a medical professional, before the day gets too much older. Be careful when moving around, and particularly if you have to take a knee to get to a low cupboard, or tie a lace.

That first step can be a doozy!

I think I can walk it off just fine. Mama didn't raise no pussies.

Loss of "time/memory", personal injury, confusion, a suprise new romance, tequila, and some cold turkey? I have a feeling we're not getting all the story here!

Sounds like a Jack Kerouac kind of Thanksgiving. Cool!

I seem to have forgotten how to be the wild chile I used to be. I got all sensible and cautious. Snoring boring me!

Being a hard case does not make you immune to subdural heamatoma. It just makes it less likely, and that is the sort of injury that will drop you hours or days later, with no warning what so ever in some cases. Just... Be careful with yourself man. We need more stalwart folks such as yourself around the place, not less!

Sounds like a hell of a day bro. Hope at the very least u didn't spill your drink and maybe you'll get lucky with the new lady. U should get checked out like truebrit suggests though.

Did the tequila come before or after all this happened? I'm thinking before.
You sure have a lot of (mis)adventures. Most involve women, it seems. You must lead an exciting life.

If you didn't wake up in jail then its probably self administered or, fall down drunk. Better take TureBrits advice and get that looked at.

I talked with a good buddy. He doesn't recall how he broke his wrist. The pieces are coming together.

I couldn't help myself. lol

I really hope he comes back and tells us what really happened....if he ever figures it out.

Poor guy.

The moral of the story.....Tequila is BAD NEWS. lol

Still among the living. Bullet proof and invincible. Best I've gathered is there was a drunken squabble in which I was involved. The turkey was superb. Time wounds all heels.

I've got a black eye for the history books and a few new scars to brag about. All things considered, I think I came out on top.

And the new found girlfriend?
