I can't believe....
Folks, I have performed in a lot of places. I've done shows in the shadiest, stinking pits of redneck bars in the southern US. I've performed in some of the roughest large cities on the east and west coasts of America. But no one has ever tried to poison me... until now.

My condition at the fur party actually prompted Rapido to call the police and an ambulance. Though I didn't wind up using them, they both felt from the description Rapido gave, that I'd been purposely alcohol poisoned, likely by someone I accepted a drink from.

Now, I'm sure someone out there is snickering with a friend or two, thinking "Oh, I so pwned him." To this person, whomever he is... you have no idea how close you came to being investigated for murder. You hadn't considered the fact that I'd already had a bit to drink earlier in the night. When *I* called police myself after I returned to my hotel, they tested me and said my blood alcohol level was 0.41. That is above the dosage of alcohol that is considered lethal. They said there was no way I could have naturally gained that alcohol level from the few beers and couple of shots I drank over the evening. They also said that if I hadn't just happened to be someone who drinks practically all the time, I would most probably be dead right now. Okay, let that sink in for a minute. Dead.

So, thank you very much, whoever-you-are. I'm going to be spending at least a day of my trip to England recovering from this. And unless someone does it for me, the only possibility of me coming back to one of your furmeets is if I find out who you are, because I WILL stuff about half your teeth down your throat.

To everyone else, I sincerely apologize for the terrible quality of my performance. I was trying my best to do it while alcohol poisoned and I'm sure I stank pretty bad.

My god, you nearly died and you're apologising for possibly underperforming on your show? Can you get any more hard-core?

Seriously though, best of luck on your recovery :)

Who is not bothering me so much as how? I mean, what could they have slipped into his drink o cause such a drastic spike in his BAC. Did the bartender screw up and use Rubbing Alcohol rather than Vodka?

I'm sure you will make a recovery. After all you have been through this before (See "The Truth" the story about the Death Puke) I just hope Thor is a bit more meciful with his hammer pratice since you didn't bring this on yourself.

Glad to hear your doing ok 2, certainly a terrible and frightening thing to happen. I honestly can't believe some people out there would consider that to be a source of amusement. There's no witnesses as to who may have slipped you the spiked drink or tampered with the one you had?

There might be, I don't know. I figure it was someone who figured I'd get blasted and funny to watch or something. I don't know if anyone saw him do it. I certainly didn't.

You're reminding me of Teddy Roosevelt (at least I think that's what president it was,) getting shot in the chest and just brushing it off and continuing on with a speech like it was nothing.

I know you've probably heard all this from your doctors but get some rest and drink water, try to lay off the booze for at least a day.
And I just hope you find out who did this, the wrath of an angry gryphon far surpasses anything I could come up with...

Jesus fuck, 2. I am very very happy you didn't die. I hope the recovery is swift and as painless as possible, unlike what I hope for the person that slipped you the mickey. Best of luck, and congratz on setting a new bar for drunk.

Geez...this is really scary. Reminds me of when Beetlegeuse had that chemical slipped into one of his drinks a few cons back and was fucked up pretty bad...

Take care of yourself, bud. Hopefully you can find some way to enjoy the rest of your trip.

How does one get accidentally alcohol poisoned without knowing? I can think of Everclear (from not CA, of course!) as a possibility, but beyond that... what can one slip in someone elses' drink to jack up the BAC that person will end up with without that person knowing?

For my own personal safety, I'd like to know how someone can be purposefully alcohol poisoned, too. Would they just.. add alcohol into more alcohol? Wouldn't that taste like shit?

I hope you recover quickly, my friend, and whoever did it gets a damn good kicking!

I don't think he mentioned that it was a fur that poisened him, the way I took it, he performed elsewhere? I donno.

BTW, how DOES one such get purposefully poisened like that without knowing?

Joe, the only type of person who would do this is somebody who doesn't truly know the consequences and/or think it's funny. This is why it's illegal, I think.
