Caution: Alcohol & Infomercials Do Not Mix

I was just thinking to myself: I could really go for a frozen pizza. I haven't had one in a while. G and I should have frozen pizza for dinner one night next week.
And then I thought: But I'd have to buy two--one for him and one for me.
Which led to: Hmmm...is that blog worthy? The fact that I can eat an entire frozen pizza by myself in one sitting?
My decision: Nah. Not blog worthy. But oh my God that one night in college when I ate an entire frozen pizza and passed out on the couch is!
So here's the story:
I got home at bar time one night and had my usual beer munchies, so I threw in a frozen pizza and plopped down on the couch for some late night TV.
The next morning I woke up to this:
An empty cardboard pizza circle on my chest.
TV still on--tuned to an infomercial channel.
My credit card beside me.
Phone on the floor.
Limited recollection of the night before.
Several days later the Torso Tiger ab exercise machine arrived at my door.

That is such a good story! LOL...
Too funny!
You crack me up!
How is workin for you?
The torso tiger not the excessive wine ;)
I laughed outloud at this at work and told my boss the story when he asked what was so funny. He goes, "I had a similar experience with a gold coin collection infomercial." Must be the global drunk dial.
This was hands down my favoritest blog post of yours. EVAH.
*wipes away tears from laughing*
LOL- Good story. Plus- I am impressed you can eat a whole pizza. Not me (although I can stomach a whole bag of potato chips without batting an eye.)
@jbhat & Savannah--Yep! I used it once. Maybe twice. I figured I might as well attempt to try it since the infomercial must have been rivoting enough for me to purchase it. Yeah, not so much. I hated it. It hurt my wrists too much. And sadly, did not magically make my beer and pizza belly disappear.
@Melissa--that's too funny about your boss! I'm happy to hear others can commiserate!
@Taryn--Mmm...potato chips! Yeah, I could probably eat my way through a bag pretty easily, too. I'm a total carb (and salt) girl. Yummy! ...on second thought, maybe I shouldn't have gotten rid of that Torso Tiger...
