Okay, so I don't take drugs, but I have a cold today. I had to go into work because I don't have enough leave saved up to take sick leave and still have some leave for Christmas. So I took some Dayquil. And I am looped. I stood up from my desk a few minutes ago, took one step and then realized that I couldn't remember why I stood up. Oy! I swear, I'm going to see bats flying down the hallway toward me any minute.  |

Hey, good thread DB!! I'm sorry you're not feeling well, and if you do see any bats flying towards you, just do your best to ignore them and I'm sure they'll go away. As for F&L moments in my own life...well, I like many other unfortunate souls in the world today had to get my wisdom teeth taken out. To do this procedure, they hook you up to an IV and put you completely to sleep. When you awake after it's all over with, let's just say, you're not all there. When I finally woke up with a clear enough head to think rationally, I noticed that I was in my pajamas. Puzzeled, I asked my mom if she had put my pajamas on me. She looked at me funny and said that I did it all by myself, and that was the first thing I did before going to bed. No one told me to do it, I just did. To this day I still have no memory of coming home from the dentist's office and putting on my pj's.  It kinda tripps me out a little.  |

Oh no! Poor DB!  *sends virtual vitamin C*  Ah! If you do see flying bats, then you know it is DEFINITELY time to go home! Lol, FF. I had a similar experience.... You know there was the one time when I was sick and went to my work Christmas Party anyway. I was running a really high fever, so I left early, and by the time I got home, I was delirious. I had all kinds of horrible dreams about driving home...boulders falling from the sky, dodging piles of debris in the road, cars careening all around me...when I woke up the next morning, I had no memory of my real drive home!! To this day, I don't know how I made it. |

Thanks, angels! Like a dork, I forgot to take my Vit C this morning. I'll do it when I go home for lunch! Yay! I'm not alone in my F&L moments! ;D Hey, I had a really bad trip in the dentist office once. If you can believe it, it was on nitrous oxide! That's supposed to calm you down, right? I'd had it before and no problems. Well, I'm sitting there with the mask over my face breathing normally when suddenly, my brain decides to come out of my head! I'm not kidding, that is what I thought was happening! I'm sitting there with my hands clamped down on top of my head, screaming for the nurse to come take the mask off. I can't take it off because that would require me to take my hands off my head...can't do that because my BRAIN WOULD CRAWL OUT! Very creepy experience. I haven't had nitrous oxide since and never will! |

 Omigosh, DB...that really must have been awful, but I just can't help laughing! Trying to picture you in the dentist's chair with your hands clamping on to your head, screaming for the nurse...bwahahaha! Ah, but yeah, I wouldn't take that stuff ever again either!!

It is VERY funny looking back on it. ;D The experience truly made me never want to do drugs. Having your reality suddenly altered like that is FUH-REAKY! I'm happy to report that my brain has never tried to leave my skull since!  |

Well, I have yet to see the movie (yes, yes, FF, I know, free my mind!), but I heard a great deal about bats on these threads. A couple of years ago, I was on a camping trip with camp. It lasted for 3 days, and we'd walk until our feet went numb and then some more. We would spend our nights in these little ski lodge places (this was hiking canadian mountains, in the summer, folks). There were three levels, one above the other, each of them having about 2 and a half feet of head room, approximately, to sleep on. You'd have to crawl around. The first night, there had been a bat on the roof of our lodge. The next night's lodge was clean. But the third, oh... In those two days I had gotten a total of 2 hours of sleep, so I was very tired, very edgy and very smeeped off. So I'm lying on my shelf with some other girls my age, and it's dark, everyone else had gone to sleep. My vision started to get blurry and my head was throbbing and all of a sudden I see these three enormous bats on the wood right above my head. I flip out, start shrieking that there's bats on my head, my screaming wakes up the entire lodge of us, and one of the counselors runs to turn on the lights. Which was when I got tackled by the 6 girls on my shelf. They weren't bats. They were just dark spots on the wood. I had nearly smeep myself, but I could have sworn those dark spots had wings. Crazy... Oh and Dangerbabe, that story is utterly hilarious. I can just picture that.  You rock. -DD |

Oh wow, DD, that story's so freakin' hillarious and so perfect for this forum!! THANKS!!! wow, *wipes tears from eyes* That was great. Here are some 'batty' quotes, I crack myself up, to celebrate the occasion: "Suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car. And a voice was screaming, "Holy Jesus! What are these god smeep animals?!" "Wait! We can't stop here! This is bat country!" LOL, you so have to re-visit this topic once you've seen the movie, (free your mind, ;D) and take a good look at how perfect your story is for it. |

Laila (producer) said in her commentary that they got t-shirts made at the end of the movie-
"I survived Fear and Loathing"
this brought back memories about how hubby and I got t-shirts made from a road trip we did long ago-
"I survived the South Road"
how weird

I was in Barnes and Nobles looking for holiday gifts for...the holidays, and I found a cute little book on how to make smoothies. If you push a button on the front, a voice says in this really trippy voice "deeeeliciousss!" So I hold that, along with about 5 other books. Then I go looking for the FALILV book to get myself, and I'm looking at the shelf when I find it. The second I pull it out, I hear this voice: "deeeeliciousss!"
Scared me smeepless. I guess my finger tripped the button or something, but it was wierd. I thought I was hearing voices until I remembered that smeep talking smoothie.

LOL! Oh man. That's hilarious.  Four minutes, DaDi, four minutes! This isn't my experience, but my friend went on laughing gas at the dentist's office and I had to sit with her while she got it. I think I can safely say that I never want to try that vile stuff in my entire life. She said she remembers all the lamps in the room started reaching towards her, and suddenly they wound up on this huge conveyor belt . One of the dentists adjusted the lamp in front of her, and suddenly she was utterly enraged, and was all, "How dare that dentist touch the lamp! It's my friend!" So she then found herself racing along this conveyor belt "of doom", trying to save the beloved lamp-thing. Again: I am never, ever going on laughing gas. No matter how crippling the pain of the dental procedure would otherwise be. |

Holy crap you guys, those stories are freaking hillarious!! This post I swear has turned into some sort of comedy hour!! I need to think up some new stories for all of you..... Actually, I do have one, but this was my brother's story, not mine. Yet another denist office story.......I'm beginning to wonder about them dentists...I think they're all out to get us......my brother got his wisdom teeth pulled. But before he went back to the room to get it done, he was joking with my father in the waiting room about a Seinfeld epsidode about waiting rooms in doctor's offices. (my father and brother both are huge Seinfeld fans) but unfortunately, this funny image was still in his head when they gave him the laughing gas.......needless to say, he was laughing for a very very long time. I think he managed to freak out the dentists a little bit. Anyway, that's the story. Dentists are out to get us. I'm now convinced.  Also, my brother came home singing "Love Shack" for no apparent reason at all. Don't know about that one......
