well, having trouble in-bedding,but here's the link:

YouTube - Don't Party With a Dwarf or Peter Brady (Surreal Life)

Verne Troyer played mini me in the Austin Powers movies. He was on celebrity Big Brother, which I never watch btw, and made a complete fool of himself. Granted the man has some serious psychological problems probably stemming from his health condition. But I found the video inspirational, not comical, in the sense that when I watch it, it reminds me of my foolish behavior when plastered drunk. While it's ok to laugh, I think if you watch it all the way through, it will make you realize the truth about drinking. Enjoy. Stay clean. Peace.

Yeah, I remember the episode, kinda sad to me. Actually VERY sad. Maybe if we were all filmed in our worst moments we wouldn't have the urge to ever pick up that drink again. It's humilating. Too bad most of us can't even remember! Might save us alot of time trying to rationalize our drinking and thinking it wasn't as bad as it really was.
Just my thoughts.

my wife used to video me in blackouts. it was quite sad and very scary at times. a few times near the end, i couldn't even talk. i just babbled incoherently and passed out.

My ex-wife kicked me out for just the same thing. On the street, nothing homeless, could have cared less if I died. That's when I woke up, and started doing for myself what she couldn't. Best thing that ever happened to me.

Wow Bulldog! Must have been awful. Thanks for sharing. Hope it makes everyone think of how they REALLY act when they no longer have control.

I don't find a single thing about this funny.
This is pretty sad to watch. I can't believe this was aired on TV.
