Verden er overhovedet ikke ond ved mig og jeg griner flere gange dagligt
- men ikke af årgamle jokes.
Jeg tror endda lænken er blevet postet her før.
Og for øvrigt er den med drikke-DIR meget sjovere. Vedlagt herunder
(vistnok også postet før, men det er vist ligegyldigt, lader det til):
"I converted to DIR about 6 months ago and I have found that the
philosophy extends way beyond diving. I think most people tend to view
DIR as a gear configuration or diving objective type of thing but it
really is a philosophy that you can use in other parts of your life. For
instance, below are just some of the ways I've extended the DIR way of
doing things into other areas of my life.
Last week some of my buddies came over to my house. Now, not all of them
are divers but they do understand the DIR philosophy. So, first off, we
all drink the same beer. This avoids any situations where you might be
enjoying a lager and accidentally pick up an ale (or the other way
around). That can be very uncool. That could quickly lead to a panic
situation so we avoid it all together. We also drink only from cans, no
bottles. And we never put the beer in the refrigerator. It always goes
in the ice chest in my living room. 47% of Drinking Related Incidents
(DRI) occur when someone is going to the fridge for another beer so
better to be safe than sorry. Of course, this is all rigged up while
we're still 100% sober so there's no impaired judgment once things get
cooking.
All of us wear a bungee necklace with a full beer on it just in case
someone experiences an Out Of Beer (OOB) emergency. I can offer my
already opened beer to my buddy and simply reach down and grab the
backup off my beer necklace. And, without exception, we always use the
7-foot hose on the beer bong.
Of course, we don't stay in every night so when we do decide to go out
we make sure we're still DIR. All of us wear exactly the same clothing:
* Levi's 501 Jeans (button hole, straight leg)
* Gap Black T-shirt
* Haynes boxer shorts, black
* Gold Toe socks, black
* Kenneth Cole shoes, Brad Pitt style
* G-Shock watch, black band
* Nylon belt, black, with military buckle
* Black Leather Jacket (optional, depending on weather conditions)
This may sound a bit silly or overdone but believe me, when you're
penetrating a night club, knowing exactly what you buddies are dressed
like can make all the difference in the world if you're hoping to snag
some hottie. Let's say I see some cutie and just before I get up to go
talk to her a waitress spills a drink in my lap? No problem, because I
can always swap pants with my buddy. I don't have to worry if they
match, because I know he's wearing Levi's 501's. Bam, swap pants and I
can still complete my objective.
One thing to keep in mind about nightclubs is that you seldom want to
penetrate a club on beer. I know, some of the macho jerks do this and
brag to all of their buddies. Believe me, it's not DIR. You have to do
it on mixed drinks. Obviously the mix will be different on different
nights but a good vodka tonic mix is pretty standard. Again, there's a
right way and a wrong way to do this. You can't just order any old vodka
or depend on some bartender to get the mix right. That's what the
strokes do. No, you order Stoli vodka, which has an excellent reputation
in the DIR partying community. The correct blend is 2oz Stoli with tonic
water poured over ice in a highball glass (lemon or lime optional). I
always bring a testing kit with me and if the blend is off, I send it
back. It's just not worth the risk and it's not DIR.
So you penetrate the nightclub and you've got a good mix, now it's time
to meet the ladies. I should have said this earlier but watch your drink
consumption. It's a well-known fact that women look 25% - 30% better in
a nightclub and if you get all narced up on vodka tonic, it increases
your chances of a coyote ugly blackout. You have to keep your wits about
you.
If it's early, you probably have pretty good viz. Later in the evening
when the smoke silts up the room it'll be harder to make out the women
on the other side of the club so get your headings early. On a few
occasions I've had to bust out the wreck reel just to get to the
bathroom and back.
If you are lucky enough to hook up with a nice hottie, this is when
doing it right really can pay off. Now, let's face it, there's a certain
degree of danger involved here that I don't want to downplay. You need
to minimize your risks by using the proper equipment. I carry 2 condoms.
One I put on ... well you know, and the second I put on a bungee that
goes around my waist. If there's a malfunction on my primary, I can
quickly go to my backup without skipping a beat.
So, as you can see from these pretty basic examples, DIR is not just for
diving. It's something you can use in all areas of your life.
Keep it real."
