    John Daly just hasn’t been sober in 40 years and now his body processes alcohol faster than any blood test or breathalyzer to reliably detect.

        When I was 18 I got pulled over for that actually. I got away with it because I told the cop I dropped my cigarette in my floorboard. Truth be told I was higher than bird pussy and was waiting for the green.

      You joke but my dad was the doc on some cases were the guy should have been dead from alcohol poisoning, according to modern medicine, and instead was driving with very little impediment. Mithridatisation really is a thing.

        I had a coworker who got stopped for DUI at 3 AM and blew a .032. Somehow she was allowed to go home and was at work at 6:30 that same morning. Unremarkable except I’m a school bus driver, so she was driving kids three and a half hours after blowing a .032.

        She was suspended and after two weeks she was allowed to resign, so she is presumably still driving kids somewhere else. The reason for this is we’re unionized (Teamsters) and she was the shop steward, which made firing her very difficult. I’ve very pro-union but GOD DAMN there are some aspects to unions that just fucking suck.

          Yeah, that’s a perversion of the union system. We’ve the same shit with doctors sometimes (in France). It’s a shame because it’s an easy win for opponents of the system.

    Tiger would have more but California police have been very lenient with him over the years. He wrecked a car on pain pills a few years back and the police decided not to take a blood sample after the incident and said they couldn’t prosecute him due to lack of evidence

    If somebody told me 20 years ago that Lemmy Kilmister would outlive Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson, I would’ve laughed.

          Sure sure, bicycles are cute for a nice peaceful ride around a lake or across town, no worries. I used them regularly in Wuhan.

            I meant like the thrill of cycling v driving. The same straightaways and hills which seem so exciting on a bike just seem like more road from a car. Windows down helps a bit, but still not the same.

            Might be more subjective than I thought though.

              You’re right. Going biking in a group through a city I used to live in was wild in how much it changed my perspective on the city and made it feel fun and beautiful.

              I’m glad I left that city but I miss those rides

      That sounds like Alain Robert. Was your man free solo climbing a skyscraper, or perhaps a cliff in the south of France?
