Take Me Home, I'm Drunk
Nereus writes "The BBC News is reporting on an interesting new software product developed by three undergraduates at the University of Aberdeen [and the Universities of Hull and Sheffield]. The University Leisure and Lifestyle Manager (ULL) is the ultimate student companion, helping in all aspects of life; from choosing text books, to getting home from the pub after a few too many. Hopefully it won't put an end to the traditional student pastime of waking up on a park bench after a night out, with a traffic cone on your head..."
Shouldn't it be "Take me drunk, I'm home?"
The facts have a liberal bias. --The Daily Show
No matter how well the software is written, the real question is: Will it help me get a chick in the pub? Getting drunk and eventually getting home is the easy part.

Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Seriously, when I've been completely pissed I can hardly remember key sequences and don't even think about coding while drunk, all you get is code riddled with errors and a headache. Fiddling with fiddly little things with lots of buttons (some of which result in a most pleasing and satisfying 'Beep') requires dozens more firing neurons than lifting a pint. Best to just seek out that park bench, some warm snuggly newspapers and a traffic cone.
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
If i'm too drunk to walk home, I can't even hit the little buttons on my cell in the correct order, how the hell is that going to work?
What are we going to do tonight Brain?
In a related story, the company reports that out of all the device forms in the catalog, the "inflatable woman" leads in pre-sales, followed by "Bit" from TRON and the Sonic Hedgeho "Tails" character.

Ah, memories... I still don't exaclty remember how I ended up there. The cops were nice, they brought me home.
Ahhh...the great dumpster continuum. Many a free computer will be found there. -- sowth (748135)
When you wake up on a Park Bench? What kind of lame school did you go to? It's not even a night out unless you're either in de-tox, a cell, or in bed with something really scary looking.
Whatever happened to people using their heads to make smart decisions on how to handle their day to day existence?
People really used to do that? Oh really. And I suppose you have a bridge to sell me, now.
"Why Subscribe?" Good question...

try { do() || do_not(); } catch (JediException err) { yoda(err); }
But does it get rid of the chick you ended up with after the one night stand the morning after?
I'm still sober
Sounds like what spyware companies have been pushing for years...
If students are into academia???
Wonder what UofAberdeen's tuition is.
Seeing bad movies only encourages them. Watch responsibly
"traditional student pastime" ?
That was last night!
Sig it.
Of having your friends help drag your sorry ass from the on-campus apartments back to your dorm room, while waving at the cops who are driving past the party...and then when they get you in the room and throw you on your $5 Goodwill couch, your roommate turns and points, and does a Nelson Muntz "HAA-HAA". Maybe that's just me...
Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

Serious? Seriousness is well above my pay grade.
"Take Me Home, I'm Drunk"
Isn't that the blonde mating call?
(good thing my girlfriend doesn't read here)

"Now I don't need any friends," the geek says, "this is the best Christmas ever."
So to get a brunette, does that mean we have to listen to the phrase "Take me home, I need to study?"
Or a redhead: "Take me home, I need to fsck?"

Drunken Student: "...and so we all ended up in the lake. Hey, you want to get out of here? I've got a great view of the quad from my balcony."

ULL Device: *beep* *beep* *beep*
Drunken Student: "Hmm? Just a sec."
ULL Device: Danger Will Robinson, Danger! Target female possesses adam's apple and male genitalia! High probability you've wandered into a tranny bar. This is not within acceptable parameters.
Drunken Student: "Umm, I forgot I have to write an important she-male, er e-mail, when I get home. Sorry, gotta run.
Bar Girl: (waving from the bar) "Call me?"
It just needs GPS and auto-nav. Be careful with it though. You might wake up on your way to Las Vegas, and that's bat country!
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
I was thinking this was some kind of new dating service technique!
