Hey Now we are talking!!!
:o :roll:

I've been told that I like to brag too much about my Puking episodes.
eh whatever.

here is one, involving the Tiki Ti

Jon Paul was doing the Photo shoot for the Tiki Mag piece on Tiki Ti a few years back, we were there early before they opened.
it was a Wed. TC night.
I had had breakfast but no lunch that day.
so while helping him with lighting for the shoot, I ordered a Zombie,
then after the decor shoot was done, Mike Sr. asked JP if he wanted to shoot some pics of some of their most famous, and good looking drinks.
so he shot 6 drinks, and when we were done with each one, he asked, what do we do with these, Mike Sr. and Jr. both said "DRINK EM" hahaha ok, no need to twist my arm. so we split those 6 drinks half each. I think I may have ordered 1 more drink to sip on after a bunch of TCers showed up, but after the motherload I was pretty much wiped out.

I remember sitting in the corner with my head against the wall for about 4 hours just in a daze, listening to conversations, but not really contributiing anything. finally at about 11 pm, I needed to get up and go to the Restroom, and after I came out and went outside for some fresh air,
I was looking at a Hot Rod in front of the Tiki Ti, when wafting across Sunset Blvd comes the aromatic allures of a smell I had not smelled in 10 or more years. I remembered as if it were yesterday.
"Oh my god I smell Pioneer chicken" they chain of restaurants had been closed for a long time, but it turns out there are still 5 in existence.
and one is across the street, and down about 100 yards from Tiki Ti.
I was mesmerized, and HAD to go there and eat asap.
JP went with me and I Proceeded to order a 3 piece meal, with side of corn on the cob and buttermilk biscuit and Beans.
JP asked me how it was, and I stuck my greasy hands in his then Vegetarian face and said smell(As Grease dripped off my elbows),( I think that was 1 of a few things that brought him back to the meat eaters club)hahaha.
I then stupidly drove home in a alcohol and food coma.
and as I got out of my truck to walk up to my house, I thought oh no, and
turned around quickly and ran back to the gutter.
I proceeded to barf up all of that food and some of the drinks that were still in me. I wont go into gory details, but it was alot of food.
So Much so that I had to get the hose to wash it down to the drain to the sewer.
I then stumbled into the house and fell on my bed.
then got the worst case of bed spins that I have ever had.
even the trick of putting 1 foot on the floor, didn't work.
finally after half hour of moaning and groaning I passed out.

now I eat Pioneer before drinking at the Tiki Ti and it helps to soak up some of the Booze, and I have not barfed AT or After the Tiki Ti since.

but there are other places and other stories.
hahahha;-)
