     A kid going down a McAwesome’s water slide, which I am sure is at least part aquarium.

     I don’t see him wearing a wet-suit, buoyancy compensator, air-tank, or any fins. I’d only call what he’s wearing “snorkeling gear,” at most. Of course, that does make the ride look awesome.

   *phew* Okay, he’s drunk. Yes, I remember that from “It’s Walky!”. I just hope that Amber doesn’t try to do what Dina did way back when…

     Whenever I see that random avatar, I think the person is being obnoxious. Sorry. I’m not even sure why I’m posting this.

   Interesting thing….. alcohol lowers you inhibitions right?

   In other word THIS is the real Mike. The professional jerk, King Jerk of Jerkania must be some kind of act he puts on, something so strong that he can keep it up all the time. Looking closely I see this a bit in the way he acts. HIs evil isn’t exactly evil, sure it’s mean but fr some reason he seems to be reliable and actually a better friend to the cast then many of my rl friends are to me….

   Yeah…. more reasons why Mike is cool.

     No, Mike is an abductee. His abductee power is beer-powered souls. He grows a soul by drinking beer. The true Mike is still a soulless asshole.

     It lowers your inhibitions, but that’s not all it does. It also affects the levels of several neurotransmitters in your central nervous system, changing your behaviour as any drug does. In other words, most people certainly are NOT their “true selves” when they’re drunk.

     In Mike’s case, it likely just makes him forget about whatever horrible things have turned him into the world’s greatest (awesome) asshole.

     Lowering one’s inhibitions is one of the initial effects of imbibing ethanol.

     People aren’t “their true selves” when they’re drunk, they’re just a version of themselves that doesn’t think as clearly about what it’s doing and saying.

   I never realized in It’s Walky that Happy Drunk Mike knew that he acted kind. I figured it was one of those things that he was sooo drunk that he couldn’t remember.

     Well, he did get angry after someone tryed to forcefully keep him drunk, so I think he noticed.

   How about we just keep Mike drunk and get a backup liver for later? Everyone’ll be so much happier that way.

   Honestly the way he imitates drinking looks like… other stuff.

   What I love about nice Mike is that he is perfectly conciuous of what he is going to do the moment he gets sober.

     Also he considers the Shortpacked cast as “our friends”, it’s quite interesting to hear it from his lips.

   Wheels-are-Turning Amber is almost as scary as Smiling Mike.

     Can’t look at her without thinking “Same thing we do every night, Pinky”

     (the most epic of Hatefucks, of course).
