Oldman: We’ve All Been There, Done That

Oldman: Those of you who never made a mistake (regardless of whether you got caught) continue bashing. The rest of us should think twice. These yesterday's heros need help, and support, not trashing.

DFO: I was going to argue that I never did something this stupid while playing on a school sports team. But a certain night before a double-header during my college baseball days came to mind. I and half the idiots on the team drank until well after curfew and then got clobbered 22-4 in the first game before bouncing back (sobering up) to win the second one. It was in my B.C. days. I can't imagine why we didn't get caught. The coaches were staying at the same motel. Mebbe they were up celebrating, too?
