a "munchiation sit'chiation", refering to lesbians. i think that this is hilarious in an ig'nant sort of way and that AA is where the truest comedy springs eternal.

I can't even pronounce it.

that's probably for the best. it may not be very nice, as AA can be kind of a cruel place.

nice

that's a pretty hot AA class. The ones i had to go to were nowhere near as fun, barring the guy who was woken up while he was passed out in his car as it was engulfed in flames and then promply arrested. On second thought that was only funny to me, as was evident in my girlish tittering at the time.

i went to some that were just pity parties for drug problems, but i went to another a few times that was at a breakfast house that was really nice, if a tad self-indulgent. good omelets.

I'd be an alcoholic in exchange for a good omlet a couple times a week...

yeah, right? What kinda softee judge did you have?

you just gotta shop around man. did you just look for the smoking meetings? i didn't want to settle for the first meeting that i went to, and churches make me uncomfortable.

Ha..I went to one of these, and then just forged the times and signatures out of the paper.

Same with com. serv.

oh, i had no choice about my shit. My guy was like Judge Mills ramped up on 6 pots of coffee. I wasn't allowed to smoke and there were Breathylizer (sp?) tests at the beginning of each meeting. Oh, and they started at 6AM on Saturdays. And seeing how I didn't have a license I had to walk the 22 blocks there. goddamn that sucked.

i may or may not have done this a few times, but once i found the meeting at the breakfast place across the street from the court-mandated counciling thingy then i just started going because it was just easier to have breakfast. i didn't get com serv.

Actually Chase that line is stolen from Bo Deedle from the Imus in the Morning show; he has a constant stream of these similiarly phrased euphemisms.

In reality, the truest comedy springs from thievery, no?

ah that makes sense. although i suspect that Deedle may have seen the inside of an AA meeting too from time to time.

you're probly right; i didn't consider that. Deedle is a pretty good character; ex-cop, P.I., security expert; pretty funny dude.

I tagged along to an AA meeting with my buddy once and I couldn't stop snickering at some of the stories the people told. I'm awful.

Why does your meerkat prefer Budweiser?

He's saving the Old Style to wash the piss taste of Bud out of his mouth.

I think it's funny that the thread's first message was about the "ig'nant" people that were at this particular AA meeting and then the ensuing replies were mostly running rampant with inexperience and ignorance. Rather ironic for me.

Get over yourself.

i don't think that AA inexperience was really the problem here.

Sorry. I should get over myself. I just tend to think it's silly to make claims about something which I know nothing.

And Chase:

I shouldn't have referrenced it as "inexpereience". Rather, it should have been labeled "extremely limited experience". It kind of bothers me is all. My whole job is centered around recovery and part of it is the program, both AA and NA. I have some issues with it too. However, passing judgment on a program and a group of people that others really know nothing about, especially when the benefit of these programs is not in a couple random appearances at meetings but in a lifetime of support from other people and a spiritual awakening, gets me a bit frustrated. It seems to me that quite a few people on this board tend to talk in absolutes on the serious matters and they continually make judgments on other people's intelligence, beliefs, politics, etc. and sometimes I wonder how much they really know versus how much they are being fed by other people they admire or simply are more intelligent than they are. Everyone can have their opinion. It's not about that. But, just because people can have any opinion they like does not mean they're justified in arbitrarily deciding to make remarks without any real knowledge of the particulars.

So, wait, we should, or shouldn't make fun of the downtrodden?

see here francis, where did anyone on this thread say anything negative about AA or the people that attend? if you could see through your tears for half a second you might see that the majority of the posts relate to court-ordered attendance and the hilarity ensued. my unsolicited advice to you is to ball up all your misery and put a goddamned stamp on it if you're going to try to put it on someone else.

Yeah, you're damn right you should get over yourself; don't forget that in your haste to demonize folks for not knowing anything about rehab or therapy, you might be in fact ignorant of these people's experiences with them. I mean I'm just saying. I'll fucking make fun of therapy and mental illness all I damn well please. I mean shit, I payed for it.

That being said, if you fuck with epileptics, I'll track you down and beat the living shit out of you. I can only handle one of my handicaps being grilled in a public forum.
