I did not have that problem because:
1) Over here it is legal to buy beer at 18, so by the time I was 21 I'd been legally buying beer for my friends for 3 years! (When I was at college, there was actually a bar
in the college.)
2) When I turned 21 it was still illegal in Britain to sell alcohol after 11pm, so no one would have let anyone buy anyone else beer at 12:05 am.
3) You waited until you were legally old enough to buy beer before you bought beer????? I first bought beer in a bar when I was 15, and was regularly drinking by the time I was 17!

I keep meaning to learn more about DarkNet too. I've been told that you can hire professional assassins on DarkNet and there are several people that I feel need killing....

Puppy News This puppy is the scaredest dog I have even known. He would loose a "world's bravest dog" contest even if the only other entrant was Scooby Doo! He is big enough and strong enough to take on practically anything (the breed was created to be able to take out a fully grown lion for fuck's sake) but anything bigger than a pigeon scares the shit out of him!
And his biggest fear is small children. He has even worked that prams contain babies, so he runs from women pushing prams!
While walking him today I stopped to eat an orange. This in itself was a problem, because the puppy saw the orange and thought I had brought a tennis ball for him to play with. He then looked horrified when, instead of throwing the "ball", I ate it. But to make matters worse, while I sat on a park bench eating what he thought was his ball, a kid came over to stroke the dog. The dog immediately jumped up on the bench beside me, to get away from the kid.
Then a kid rode by on a push scooter. The kid was going reasonably fast and the dog saw this as an "attacking charge" and backed away further, his rear legs ended up on the top of the back of the bench.
While he was still in this position a woman carrying a baby in a front papoose passed by. The baby saw the dog, smiled and pointed at him. This was too much for the puppy. He saw the pointed finger as some kind of gun, about to fire a doggy death ray at him or something. He frantically backed away from the kid. But in his panic he had forgotten that he was standing on a bench with his rear legs on the back of the bench. As he retreated his ass end went off the rear of the bench. His front legs remained on the bench, and his belly was grounded on the back of the bench!
The poor fellow was stuck. Back paws dangling in mid air. Front paws on the bench, but without the "push" from the rear paws he could not un-ground himself from the back of the bench. He was helpless and surrounded by those really dangerous children things!
It was really funny for the other people in the park to watch, but for those of us struggling to calm a panicking puppy who was technically strong enough to rip apart an attacking lion, it was not a lot of fun!
