Oh you know, buying hats...making friends!
strangers + drunk
Stranger passed out in a park! 10 POINTS!
strangers + drunk
The night culminated with Matt nipple-touch-serenading this couple into gentle, lap-collapsing sleep.
strangers + drunk
Our sleepy diner neighbor got blintzed!
strangers + drunk
When we got out of the cab, we found this bro taking the most casual of drunken snoozes against a car parked out front of our building. Haha.
strangers + drunk
Next thing we knew we had a new best friend. (A best friend who, incidentally, liked to lift up his shirt and smack his belly loudly and repeatedly after each drink). Pauly can't believe it!
strangers + drunk
...making friends with strangers!
the january roundup
January, 2010
strangers + drunk
Later that night we made friends with friends.
strangers + drunk
When Jersey Shore first came out Matt was stoked because he could show off his abs by "making fun of" The Situation. Haha.
strangers + drunk
Helping each other out.
strangers + drunk
Making new friends always.
strangers + drunk
It was afterhours at this point, but since it was a real quiet night, the bartender told us we could hang for a bit and he locked the place up. This guy was the only other place in the bar so we agreed to play some Big Buck together.
strangers + drunk
We also stopped and made friends with this puking stranger.
strangers + drunk
Around 3am, things started getting rowdy with public makeout on the dancefloor! Hahah.
strangers + drunk
BOO-YAH! Hahahaha. Holy mother of all brainings. I can't think of anything that would make this picture funnier.
strangers + drunk
Oh, wait. Yes, I can.
strangers + drunk
While we were all standing outside playing with Piper, I noticed that there was a really, really drunk girl sitting up against the building and teetering back and forth. Sensing something magical was about to happen, I made sure to keep my finger on the shutter button. Sure enough, a few minutes later....wait for it....wait for it....
strangers + drunk
...BAAAAAAAAARF! I managed to catch the impact but was a few seconds too late to catch the actual vom-stream coming out of her mouth. (I guess I'm slipping!).
strangers + drunk
...a brand new candidate for DRUNK GUY JENGA! Hahahaha.
strangers + drunk
...well, you all know what it means. Wakey, wakey! Welcome to Misshapes!
strangers + drunk
This kid was wasted. He went to sit down in this chair and just totally and completely missed. He landed flat on his tailbone and decided to just stay down. Ouch.
strangers + drunk
The guy in the black leather jacket was pretty much the drunkest ambulatory person I've ever seen in my life. All throughout the show he wove his way in and out of the audience, jumping around, spilling drinks and either routing for or heckling the band. (He was so drunk it wasn't clear what he was yelling. Just that he was very enthusiastic about whatever it was he was yelling.)
strangers + drunk
We even brought Jess H. and her little friend along with us.
strangers + drunk
We left the building to the sounds of this dude singing while doing a little Irish jig on top of the grate. Happy New Year, Dude!
strangers + drunk
I decided to try to instigate and was like "Hey Mike, you should give your new friend a kiss!" Check him all ballsy bringing the "fuck you" finger out right in front of her face (also make sure to note how my hand is all smooshing his neck as I'm actually trying to get him to kiss her). Hahahah.
strangers + drunk
a loud, drunk asian girls in a straw party hat showed up and helped liven things up! Fuck yeah! When this girl cornered Mike D. on the stairs he was all like "Hey, this is my friend Brian! He should take some pics of us together!" Then Mike D. raised the bar from the "get a load of this guy" face and went straight for the "serruptitious fuck you fingerpiont." Classy!
strangers + drunk
After Leigh was done interrogating this girl's friend to make sure he really knew her and this wasn't a rohypnol date rape gone awry, we left our sleeping princess in his good hands.
strangers + drunk
Seriously, who loves posing with drunk strangers more than us? (Ps - Check out Grant's "modern dance" legs. It's a nice touch, don't you think?)
strangers + drunk
...clearly the LBJ (that's the Little Baby Jesus to you) had heard our prayers and made this drunk girl pass out on the pavement right outside of the party so we could document my last evening in town with some apropo fanfare! (Thanks for looking out for us, Big Guy).
strangers + drunk
Neil (who, just so you know, is the current Nugget Eating Champ of the World) leans in to check out to what degree the guy is passed out. Verdict: Out Fucking Cold.
strangers + drunk
Ok, ok. I'm sure all of you have probably seen all these photos already either on the Misshapes site or back when it appeared in Vice, but for any of you who may not have see it, here's the story: I was texting with Dennis Crowley's little brother Jonathan on Saturday night and I invited him and his buddy Neil to Misshapes. They showed up late night and after vetoing the too-packed dance floor upstairs, we decided to hang in the back room downstairs where we discovered this sleeping prince.
strangers + drunk
Jonathan went for ye olde white ass in the face.
strangers + drunk
Sticking to tradition, J.Cro and I started going head to head to see who could take the best (read: most embarrassing) picture.
strangers + drunk
After screaming along incoherently into an extra mic during the first half of this couple's duet, homeboy in the green shirt finally managed to wrangle away Shef's mic and hide it on him. Unfazed, Shef decided to make up for his lack of mic by just singing even louder for the remainder of their song.
strangers + drunk
Scott offered him a smoke (he heard that helps with jaundice).
strangers + drunk
And then Rebecca offered a kiss. And then Grant, bless his heart, offered him the best thing you can offer a drunk, passed out person...
strangers + drunk
...someone that passed out! Yes!
strangers + drunk
FLYING BRAIN!
strangers + drunk
...his nutsack! Wooo! Let's hear it for the return of Wally Weirdnuts!
strangers + drunk
The guy was so drunk he couldn't even tell us his name. Sarah thought he was cute and kept suggesting that she take him back to her place. Hahahaha. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!
strangers + drunk
In the end, I ended up fishing his wallet out of his pants and looking up his name and address (if memory serves correctly, I think his name was Brice or something like that). Here's Tinny holding his phone to his ear as we took turns calling people in his phone trying to get someone who knew him to confirm his address so we could put him in a cab. (In the end, we were never able to confirm where he lived so we sat him down outside with a bottle of water and went back inside. When I came out an hour later, he was passed out and had pissed his pants and we ended up calling the cops who sent an ambulance for him. Doh!) Anybody know who this guy is?
strangers + drunk
Later that evening, I was standing next to the DJ booth chatting with Sarah when all of a sudden a guy standing next to me full-on passed out while standing up and went down like a bag o' bricks. The bouncer summoned me to help him carry the guy outside and somewhere in the process of trying to lift him up, his pants came down exposing...
strangers + drunk
...his (kiwi!) underwear.
strangers + drunk
Another high-schooler who's been partying out of his league.
strangers + drunk
...chilling on the pavement.
strangers + drunk
"Rad! Hey, let's try to see if he can throw up with me in the picture!" Now that's a lady.
strangers + drunk
Just taking a little nappy nap.
strangers + drunk
Before we left, Leigh made sure she invited Dave to Misshapes - because, in her words "he just seems like our kind of people."
strangers + drunk
We waited through another few minutes of gagging and gurgling, but there was still no "big payoff" like before.
strangers + drunk
That little puddle you see isn't puke, it's actually just saliva (ok, maybe a little puke). This kid was putting his whole frigging hand down his throat and nothing was coming up. If he ever decides to give up his career as a binge drinker, there's clearly a place for him in gay porn.
strangers + drunk
"Ok, ready?"
strangers + drunk
When I went outside to look for Vin, I ran into these two guys (I forget their names, but I have an email from him somewhere that I can dig up and I'll put them in there when I find it). The guy on the right was really drunk and said that he needed to throw up, but couldn't. I suggested he try putting his fingers down his throat and "pull his trigger." He was like "Ok, I'll try it. Get your camera ready." (Like I needed to be told, right?)
strangers + drunk
"GO!" Look at his hand! Oh, wait you can't - the whole thing's in his mouth.
strangers + drunk
Ewwww.
strangers + drunk
As people started passing out all around us, we decided it was probalby best to pack it up and call it a night. We'd made it through the night without anyone even trying to pick a fight and figured it'd be best to quit while we were ahead.
strangers + drunk
Grant wasted no time moving in with his nuts.
strangers + drunk
That's right! It means it's time to play "FUCK WITH THE DRUNK GUY!" Emily kicked it off with a lil' boob showing.
strangers + drunk
So Bellybutton Jewelry Girl went to the bathroom, and while she was gone, her boyfriend passed out...we all know what that means!!!
strangers + drunk
So it was around this time that we noticed these two (aka - "The Greatest Couple in the World."). He was completely shit-hammered; to the point where his head was all bobbing around like we was on a fucking wagonride on a cobblestone street. And she (as if her matching aqua skirt-outfit wasn't enough) had the biggest belly button jewelry thing I've ever seen. I mean look at that thing - it's like the J-Lo engagement ring of bellybuttons. Anyway, she was really drunk and kept heckling people in between songs, yelling that it was her turn already....we'll get back to these guys later.
strangers + drunk
While we were standing around shooting the shit with Tracy, all of a sudden this girl busted out onto the dance floor with the strap from her giant "fashion purse" pulled over her face and just started freaking the fuck out. After watching her do her thing (maybe it was performance art?) for a few minutes, we decided it was time to head out.

What sums up how the world feels about boner-guy better than my man's face in the yellow shirt? Exactly. (By the way, check out his fucking shiny, tinfoil-looking shirt. A-hole.)
strangers + drunk
...complete with shirtless-man action! (Now that's a par-tay!)
strangers + drunk
Making new friends through the universal language of music.
strangers + drunk
Four drinks later and (many hours later) and Grant finds himself locking lips with yet another "beaut." (The only thing funnier than this pic is Grant's reaction when I showed it to him days later...he didn't even remember being at this bar, nevermind the girl.).
strangers + drunk
Scott almost ended up getting in a fist fight with this guy, but then after the live band that was there played a few songs by The Dead, everyone mellowed out (yeah, maaaaan...play "Box of Rain") and they ended up buying each other shots...
strangers + drunk
Check out the tan lines and the New England Patriots Superbowl Champions Sweatshirt (Size: XL), even if Russ wasn't about to lick the tattoo of a rose on her tit, this would still be an incredible photo.
strangers + drunk
Which somehow led to this big goon lifting up his shirt to show off his tattoo. Rolling Facking Stones, doooooood!
strangers + drunk
Look at that smile, think Russ has had a few? Brave soul that he is, he starts chatting up her friend too. "Why yes, you're legs are smooth." Priceless.
strangers + drunk
We showed up around 9pm and everyone there had pretty much been drinking all day...so instead of enjoying lovely conversation with new people, we just decided to fuck with the guests that had passed out. Here's Grant posing with our new buddy.
strangers + drunk
This guy was out cold so I convinced Grant to up the ante and put his balls near the guys face...HAHAHAHA!
strangers + drunk
So after we took the first few pictures, we went around the party and started showing them to people just to see what their reactions would be...turns out, most people wanted to also pose with our passed out buddy (Except for the guy's close friends, they didn't want to be in the pictures, they just gave us the guy's email so we could mail him the pics a few days later...which I did).
strangers + drunk
No stranger to whipping out my own bag, I handed over the camera and teamed up with Grant for this amazing photo. (Look at our faces!!! nd bonus points to me for actually resting my nuts on the guys chair.)
strangers + drunk
Hahahaha! Check out John's face in the middle!
strangers + drunk
Christ, haven't people in New Jersey ever heard of irony? (PPS - Check out Kenny full-on grabbing her tit. Ha!).
strangers + drunk
See that girl in the purple tank top? I asked her what kind of beads she was wearing and she told me they were Mardi Gras beads, so I started chanting "Show Yer Tits! Show Yer Tits!" Which she did, but my camera went off too early. Sorry, I got excited! (PS - Look at Kenny lending a "helping hand" in lifting up her shirt)
strangers + drunk
When Kenny's not working (at his job where he impersonates "Doug" from "King of Queens"), he's busying wooing the beautiful (and tan, did I say tan?) ladies of the Jizzersey Shizzore.
strangers + drunk
Hey, it's not really a night of jerseyshoredrinking unless somebody tries to kick YOUR FUCKING FAGGOT ASS!!! This guy proudly displays his ripped shirt. (Bonus points to his friend for making that face. Ha!).
strangers + drunk
Hey Buddy, before you start on your second slice, you might want to finish eating the HUGE CRUMB stuck to your cheek that's left over from your first slice! Hahah.
strangers + drunk
Post-part late night slice! This guy was so drunk he was rocking back and forth at the counter waiting for his second slice!
strangers + drunk
Turns out that there wasn't anything going on - but that doesn't mean I don't want to take pictures!
strangers + drunk
...but it turned out the girl (albeit cute) was butt-ass wasted and was talking to everyone! Doh!
one messy weekend

strangers + drunk
I ran over to them and kept trying to flatter one of the drunk ladies into letting me take her picture. I kept telling her "C'mon, it'll be so pretty." This photo is the result of me chasing her around and trying to get her in the frame. (Note my eye on the left). She was dying to dig into her freshly bought 16oz Bud Pounder (with a straw, no less. ROCK!)
