How to kill a party
We've got this game called "Poor Pussy." Basically, one person kneels in front of another person and meows at them three times. The goal for the other person is to NOT laugh. You kind of have to see it. I'm not very good at it. Usually, I crack up before they even start the first meow!
Stay with me, I'm going somewhere with this. So the one time I tried it as the meower instead of the meow-ee ended in disaster: I got up from the couch, kneeled, meowed once (an extra-long one)... then I felt dizzy so I stood up, completely blacked out, ran into a wall, and fell unconscious to the ground. Of course, everyone thought I was trying to get the person to laugh. What was really happening was I didn't have any oxygen flow to my brain, having suddenly stood up and then exhaled completely. I woke up on the floor, hurting where my face smacked the wall and where I hit the coffee table on the way down (spilling beer all over myself and others). It was scary and weird.
Lately I seem to be injuring myself a lot in ways that require a lot of explanation.
