Pre-Gaming

Greetings Internet!

I am the Mr Sleepy that my luffs Jenny posted about. You may call me Joe. I am here to talk to you about the dangers of Pre-Gaming. For those of you not in the know, (much like I was before Jenny informed me of this Americanism, something that I as a Brit knew nothing about) Pre-Gaming is when you get drunk at home before you go out and get drunk. You can Pre-Game just about anything, of course. This is not to say that you get drunk before X event, but, in fact where you engage in an activity before said activity is due to start. I shall gve you some examples:

Sleep
Before I met Jenny, I only experienced this kind of Pre-Gaming in a very general way. People take naps in the afternoon after a large meal and the like, so they have the energy to get through the day to their bedtime. However, Jenny fell asleep on me earlier while we were talking. This was at about 7pm. Most people do not nap this late. Jenny does. Or did. Once. This once. Anyway, she pre-gamed sleep, and that is what inspired this post.

Sex
To pre-game sex is basically to have foreplay. Jenny is the only person... make that woman I have ever known that has ever objected to the pre-gaming of sex. This also inspired the blog post and made me laugh so hard I got a stitch.

Gigs
Pre-gaming a gig is basically listening to music really loud before the gig to get pumped for the gig you are about to see. This is pretty typical, but has been known to wear people out before said gig and then they are miserable. See: My Chemical Romance fans at gigs. Miserable fuckers.

Indian / Mexican Food
I don't understand this. It would be, like, eating a jar of pickled jalapeneos before going out to eat spicy Mexican food. Why the extra torture? Wait, I'm sure Jenny would approve of this, so never mind me.

Childbirth
Okay why would you do this.

Buying a Car
Pretty simple. Everyone does this one. I think. You pre-game vehicle purchase throughout your life by buying progressively more advanced and larger modes of transport leading up to your car. You start with, maybe, those funky shoes with the wheels in the heels. Then you need pukka roller skates. OMIGOSH A SCOOTER! Wow! A new bike! A skateboard! A go-kart! Then a moped, wow, moving up in the world. AND THEN YOU ARE AT YOUR CAR. But wait. You need bigger, and bigger thrills! You go stir crazy! You buy a truck! Then a bus! NO, BIGGER! A helicopter! A PLANE.

This is called a midlife crisis.

And that is why pre-gaming is dangerous. Don't do it. And don't fuck that shit, you'll catch something.

Peace, sleepygamer.
