I love how Vesper thinks like Shaun of the Dead. There's a life threathening emergency, what do we do? We need shelter, something to drink, let's go to the pub.
I feel for his old roommates. Knowing that you could have stopped him from doing something stupid and being unable to know if he found somewhere safe for 30 hours is unimaginable amounts of stress. And then you find out he was literally just chilling at the bar the entire time? I would have straight up slugged him for that if I was his college roommate in the 1600s when all we had were the first beepers in existence.
hm yes there is a massive storm capable of not only killing humans but also tossing around cars, houses, and generally leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. _I shall now walk to the bar for a pint of beer with the boys._
@@roguegen5536 barracks parties are also A Thing. Now, combine the two. Hurricane Ophelia, I was stationed aboard Camp Lejeune, NC. We got locked down, but not before the smarter guys had already DEEPLY invested in beer, snacks, and SHENANIGANS. I contributed a large box of chemlights, someone else had a slingshot, and we were shooting them across the quad at other rooms. And that was just to open things up.
I assume it was probably 20+ years ago and the only hurricane I remember being really bad was George. Though it barely touched Florida, but it did hit Louisiana. So my guess is that he's from around there. Edit: Though it could have also been Katrina
@@vohloo9797 Irma. Irma was five years ago and was another Cat 4 which swept up the west coast of Florida. Related: Just got power back yesterday after Ian hit us, so about five days exactly. The last time we lost power like that was during Irma
@@vohloo9797 The eye went over him so it had to be lower than cat 4. If it was Katrina he'd have been dead since the bar would have been under 12 feet of sludge. Had to be one of the less destructive storms. Irma probably. Could have been Sandy. That one went up the east coast.
@@thegrim418 Yeah category 4 and up is pretty much a hellscape of collateral damage and destruction. Mostly went with those in that time frame because I thought he was much older, but I'm guessing he and chat are memeing that aspect of his age for goofs and gaffes lol
Yeah, or one of the surround states (but I also think its florida). I'm guessing its one of the hurricanes that hit Florida between 2004 and 2008 (since they were one of the few ones notable enough to actually hit landfall and to have an for the eye of the storm last long enough for him to take a walk to the local bar...). Anything after that, and well, he probably wouldn't be much of a boomer.
@@nagato2240 I guess the question is, as I'm typing this during Ian, does he still have power and/or internet and safe enough to stream? Irma kinda slapped the County/city government to be better prepared but it still depends by neighborhood.
@@nagato2240 its believed that he lives on the west coast now. Keep in mind this story was from when he was in college a d he mentions having to "move across the country for school" during his wisdom tooth story
The local bar legend. As the storm seemingly settled down, as short as that might be, the bar door suddenly opened and a young Gilf enters... Then stuck there for the rest of the day...
I swear, every time this man goes to the bar, crazy shit happens. He’s been stabbed, woke up in a neighboring state and chilled during a hurricane at halftime. Next I’m expecting at least one bar fight story. Now that I think about it, maybe that’s how the stabbing story started
I mean... It was during the eye of the storm, the 2nd safest time to have a barbecue (so not all of the food spoils) and go to the bar for a cheeky pint.
A classic Don Quixote conundrum: who is worse? The man who goes to a bar for a pint in the eye of a hurricane, or the bar that opens for business in the eye of a hurricane?
I have a similar story but tornadoes. So being from the Midwest, you get to know when it's _actually_ dangerous vs just bad weather. Well one summer my company was holding their user conference and we had people from our global offices in. Meaning people from the UK were in our office when a BIG storm system hit Chicago. So there we are, in the tallest building in Chicago, which is actively swaying in the wind, and the building security comes on that everyone is to evacuate to the center of the building as a tornado is coming. The UK people are just terrified bc they don't get this type of fun, where as everyone born here grabbed the hidden bottles of "desk whiskey" we all kept and went and sat by the windows to watch the storm come in. Hell of a wall cloud and heavy rain but you could see by the rotation we weren't getting a tornado in downtown. We just had fun, day drinking, and watching the storm from the top of the building.
funnily enough most skyscrapers actually bend and move with the wind.. it's usually too subtle to notice or they put a huge special device that helps with the vibrations and tremors on higher floors.. (known as a tuned mass damper or TMD.) Most skyscrapers can actually over 10 inches or more to the side depending on how tall it is. (the higher the more it bends.) Also if you can actually feel the building moving that is a big sign of trouble.. But not much you can do about it depending on the construction and maintenance of the building.. But a building swaying will wear it down more and more over time, before it will eventually collapse on itself. And even if proper maintenance is maintained, the swaying will actually wear out the foundation pillars deep underground. which is again why they have TMDs and really good designs. The only question is when they will fall. But the swaying will break the building quicker no doubt abou that.. I'm glad though that you know what to do in these situations and can remain calm. although I do wonder what part of the UK those people were from, cause anywhere on the British Isles or mainland has heavy rain storms and massive amounts of wind.. So they either lived or work somewhere very deep inland. (which is expensive land, and not suitable for large businesses or most mass productions.) Or some other UK country I'm forgetting.
Kids: Why do all the old people like sitting around talking all the time? The old people: chilling with granpire listening to his storied from how cracked shit was back in fifty BC
i live in a tropical country, and getting stuck at a friend's place during a typhoon while it was supposed to just be a night of drinking were some of the most memorable times in my life. Power's out, wind howling and rain beating down the roof, all that, and i'm stuck there hoping we don't run out of alcohol. College years are definitely stupid times for decision making, risking life and limb for a drop of beer every fucking time.
Speak of hurricane - were I live got hit by hurricane (category 5) After 2 months (form the hurricane hit)- my area were I live had phone signal After 3 ( from the hurricane hit) - got water in my house After 6.5 months (from the hurricane hit) - electricity came back)
this reminds me of a time when me and my bros where stuck in a local gaming store because we were attending a Magic the gathering pre-release event and at the same time a storm hit our country which was, at the time time, had the heaviest rainfall that decade.
At least his room mates cared about him
Well he's the one who clean the house.
💀
Time to call the HoloX cleaner to take over his job...
More than himself 😂
That's weirdchamp
This man went for a drink during a f*cking hurricane
What a goddamm gigachad
He's not a gigachad, that's called a Florida man
Yeah, if they dont lock us in place/have the cops on alert, a beer is a beer man.
The line between gigachad and complete moron is a very thin line.

*I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING*
Literally
It's damn wholesome that his roommates cares so much about him. Now back to the funni, that bar part's hilarious af.
I mean, duh, who else is going to pay for his share of the rent if he dies? xD
When I mentioned that hurricane story, I wasn't expecting Vesper to respond with such a funny story! lol.
Bless you for setting it up man, that was beautiful told xD
Kudos to you, Lemmy! This thread ought to be pinned.
I wanted to give you a "like," but you're at 123 right now.
I love how Vesper thinks like Shaun of the Dead. There's a life threathening emergency, what do we do? We need shelter, something to drink, let's go to the pub.
Eh you know, we could always go to the Winchester - Vesper probably (British accent)
Step 1. Go to Winchester
Step 2. Have a pint
Step 3. Wait for the whole thing to blow over

pretty sure by the time vespie went to college they had cellphones, but the reception was probably out during the hurricane lol
I would've gut punched him 😂 atleast once
don’t think he’s been around that long, I’d put him around 1950s for college
Beepers man, those were the days back in 1337 during the 100 year war.
@@vohloo9797 Ah the good old days, back when the Holy Roman Empire was still around
The bar is probably safer than his house in a hurricane.
They are built sturdy that I can attest when I had to with a crew demolish a old old bar
@@rokkfel4999 Right. Most commercial buildings are sturdier than private homes.
and they had beer! 🍺
To the Winchester!
Take car,
go to mums,
kill Phill (sorry),
grab Liz,
go to the Winchester,
Have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over.
Vesper showing off how much of an ultrachad he is.

Vesper is clearly the Tempest of Tempus lol
*badum tss*
Inaff
Imagine beeing stuck in a bar with lots of beer, snacks and a good friend of yours for 30 hours - sounds like a pretty good time to me. :D
Hurricane parties are a real thing. Gotta get rid of all the food before it spoils due to power outages.
@@roguegen5536 Nothing beats BBQ in the eye of a hurricane. Pretty neat event to check on neighbors and share some food.

"Let's go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over."
Ah, Shaun of the Dead strategy. Go to the bar/pub and let it blow over 😂
I know i shouldn't laugh......but when he say..."we thought you walk into a hurricane or something"...i lost it...i totally lost it
It took me a second listen for it to hit me just how ridiculous that sentence sounded. "You WALKED into a hurricane. And then you DIED" xD
I love how a bunch of us automatically assumes that he at least lived in Florida just from this story.
To be fair, though, it is a valid assumption.

Or Philippines, no place on earth has more hurricane per year than Philippines
Between this and his story about being literally stabbed in college, I have no idea how he survived.
Annoying storm, Grandpa just wants a good time, a little Hee hee haa haa, and luckily he has a roommate who really cares
This is very relevant for my situation considering I'm watching this clip during a hurricane in my home.
You gonna go out for a pint?
@@PersonBot_ Wish I had that big off balls but I ain’t that guy
Stay safe!!!
Stay safe!
Be safe, reply here after it dies down to let us know you're ok
I can totally picture Vesper drinking and laughing at the bar and then the hurricane hit and they started screaming
This man literally decided fuck it, I'm going down to the Winchester, grab a pint and wait for this all to blow over.
Dude legit pulled a "Let's just head to the Winchester for a pint and wait for this all to blow over."
"Havin a chat"
Bar tender: "Da fuck you doin here!?!"
Of course the grandpa is in Florida
I was wondering, "Why were the bars even open if there was a hurricane tearing through town?", but Florida explains it.
Yeah, or one of the surround states (but I also think its florida). I'm guessing its one of the hurricanes that hit Florida between 2004 and 2008 (since they were one of the few ones notable enough to actually hit landfall and to have an for the eye of the storm last long enough for him to take a walk to the local bar...). Anything after that, and well, he probably wouldn't be much of a boomer.
Did he give any indication of having to deal with Hurricane Ian? He might not be in Florida anymore if that isn't the case.
@@nagato2240 I guess the question is, as I'm typing this during Ian, does he still have power and/or internet and safe enough to stream? Irma kinda slapped the County/city government to be better prepared but it still depends by neighborhood.

Doesnt matter
He had a good pint, definitely good pint

He went to the Winchester, had a nice cold pint and waited for all this to blow over

That's exactly the florida experience
“I had roommates, and they were freaking out-“
So not Floridians then.

I'll miss ya Vesper ❤
When you suddenly remember you have free will.
The hurricane wasn’t *Storm that was approaching,* it was Vesper xD
Truly a motivated man!
Roomates were so angry thinking "who's gonna clean the bathroom now that he's dead?"
At least Vesper made it to the bar before the storm restarted. Lol
Vesper like: "dude, we should own a bar!"
Oh man, Vesper would have definitely been punched if he pulled an Axel and just said it was a little "heehee hawhaw" to go walk into a hurricane lmao
I mean... It was during the eye of the storm, the 2nd safest time to have a barbecue (so not all of the food spoils) and go to the bar for a cheeky pint.
In which Vesper shows that he is *peak* Florida Man
A classic Don Quixote conundrum: who is worse? The man who goes to a bar for a pint in the eye of a hurricane, or the bar that opens for business in the eye of a hurricane?
just love how he impersonated axel at the end there lol
His roommates cared for his well being how tee tee aww
It was stormin real fucking hard then and Gramps really decided he needed a freaking drink.
Now I need to see a fanart of younger Vesper with Axel personality
"Hold up a minute tornado I need a pint"
Let's be honest, that was a very chad move
Kinda dumb, yeah, but pretty badass nonetheless
"A little hi hi haha" lmao I just can't

Vesper took the Shaun Of The Dead approach.
The man had a pint and waited for all this to blow over.
That was probably one of the stupidest things i have ever heard and i am glad that i could hear that
Alright, we'll go to the Winchester, we'll have a pint, and we'll wait for this whole thing to blow over.
Damn, there was a hurricane during the 1800s??!?!
probably goes back longer honestly
This is actually a great D&D campaing idea. You start at Tavern and you stuck at Tavern
