Mark's drunk! Mark's drunk! Holy cow, Mark's drunk.

In honor of Mark's birthday on Friday, I thought I would create a little site to remember the first time some got the privilege of seeing him 'drunk'. Some may be wondering what the story is, so here goes. One weekend evening while Mark and I were living at the house it was rather quite, everyone had either gone home for the weekend or were out on the town for the night. We were just milling around and talking in the foyer when he noticed some of the folks were coming back and he said "Hey Jed, should I pretend I am drunk?" Now to this point in this young mans life drinking was a rare occasion and it was light at that. (today his liver can only dream of those days) We weren't sure if people would believe us, but the house was empty so there was nobody to prove we didn't, it was just up to the acting abilities to the big Bohemian.

Here he is off to a pretty good start. Good thing he can keep a straight face, because Lord knows I wasn't.

Then the stomach began to rumble, and he then thought he might have to throw-up so his fellow brothers got him to the bathroom stall, but Mark wasn't going to make it easy for them. He knelled on the toilet and faced the wall, so they were trying to instruct this 'drunk' guy on how to use the bathroom.

Jim looks exhausted from laughter. Mark did a good job keeping up with the gag and did a good job keeping up the bit for an hour or so. We even woke Mom Daniels up and she was having a great laugh along with us. More and more people kept coming back and just hung out in the foyer to witness this event.

Mark did do his best to straighten up just before every picture was taken. Slobbering drunken fool, say cheese, 1, 2,... straight face. I thought that would give him away, but he pulled it off.

By the end there was 15-20 people hanging out in the foyer and the most memorable line was when Jody Brown, who had a couple in him, got in Marks face and said something, Mark got in his face with his finger pointed at his chest and said' "you're a hairy little man". Silence for a second, then everyone roared laughing, including Jody. By now he was on the stairs and folks were trying to drag him downstairs for grilled cheese. But Mark decided it was enough, he simply stood-up, straight expression and completely sober and announced "This has been fun but I'm going to bed, good night everybody". Then walked upstairs. Most every one's mouths were open, trying to figure it out, I was laughing hysterically in the corner and was glad to be in on it.

Happy Birthday buddy!!!

Cheers!
