How Old Were You When....

[epilogue]

Use this thread to talk about how old you were when you reached various milestones or had memorable universal experiences.

For example, I was 23 when I had my first alcoholic beverage. It was a vanilla vodka and Coke. I think it's probably a tad unusual that I was so old when I first had a drink.

How old were you when you had your first alcohol beverage?

I never eat shrimp tails but I do eat whole peanuts along with the shell

Always?

I do that sometimes but not always.

I think I was around 11 when I first ate peanut shells and all.

First time i got wasted was in New Years Eve of 1996, i was fucking 13!

I went to this crazy block party someone used to throw with free alcohol and got super hammered.

One of my friends got super fucked, he was a volunteer firefighter so those dudes came and took him to the hospital. For some reason i stayed at his home for a few hours till it was like 7 o clock in the morning and i vomited one of the beds and then proceed to almost escape from his home.

Sorry to everyone involved! i also left my shirt because i used it to, i dont know...clean the whole thing?

I arrived in a very awful manner to my house but my mom had to go so she couldnt really be pissed with me for the whole day.

I was 18 when I lost my virginity. I also had bad OCD at that time so I was worried I caught HIV and a throat fungus (I didn’t). I found out years later that that girl was fired from state government for selling sex toys at work.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Holy cow I did not know eating peanuts shell and all was a thing. I also do not know what spoonerism is or what it's referring to.
