Shaming

Have you ever heard of the term “Shaming”? Apparently, there are entire Internet sites dedicated to this art. This practice is especially popular in our nations colleges. The idea is that at a party, if someone drinks too much and passes out… Shame on them! Everyone grabs a sharpie and starts doodling on the persons face, arms, chest, you name it. Imagination is the only limiting factor as to what embarrassment this poor soul will have to endure when they come to. I’ve seen photos of people Duct-Taped to the wall, pyramids of empty beer cans built on top of them, Saran-Wrapped to a chair… you name it.

My sister got me once at her house. It was a nice relaxing Saturday and we were enjoying some good conversation and a few mixed drinks. Eventually, she got sidetracked with a phone call or something and I found my way to her comfy cozy couch. When I woke up, it must have been an hour or two later and by that time, some of her friends had showed up as well. We are all out on her deck, the BBQ is full of food, Football is on the television, life is good… and it was about this time I looked down and noticed that my Toe-Nails had been painted “Hot-Pink”. They all had a good time while I was “Out” on the couch… even my children were involved!
