Hilarious At First - But Then Very Sad For Humanity At Large

In terms of evolution, this is a convincing argument against bipedalism. I can't help but wonder just how much more alcohol the human being could consume should he have evolved a third leg. One could then set oneself tripod-like - safely prepared for the consumption of deadly amounts of booze.
I've never seen intoxication to this extent before. In my experience, people this drunk usually go down and stay down. Again, I laugh at the sheer spectacle of it all, but then it breaks my heart to see examples of lives going wrong like this. As a former alcoholic, I know firsthand that there's much more involved than just stumbling around doing crazy things. This represents missed opportunities, lifelong regrets, lifelong humiliation and embarrassment, the pain of family and loved ones who have to watch this happening. Every day spent drunk is a day not spent reading with your child or hiking in the wilderness.
Sorry if I began to wax poetic there, but this hits a little close to home...And yet, morbidly funny.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this - I just couldn't turn it off once it started.
(p.s. - what's with the song?)

"a pretty funny scenario for a sitcom would be this guy who was going to write a letter, so he tells his dog to go get him a pen. but the dog comes back with a pencil and the guy gets mad and scolds the dog for not knowing the difference between a pen and a pencil. then the guy starts writing his letter and you know what happens? he makes a mistake and erases it. just then he looks over at the dog and the dog looks up at him and then they both start cracking up."

deep inventions: the automated computer - it's like a regular computer, but all of the computations are to be made at will by the simple press of a button. or sometimes, for some computations, a few buttons.
