Drunk Yoga @ FunTuna

Wikipedia:

Yoga (Sanskrit) refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India.

Wikipedia:

Alcohol intoxication (also known as drunkenness or being drunk) is a physiological state occurring when an organism has a high level of ethyl alcohol in their bloodstream, or ethyl alcohol is otherwise causing a physiological effect.

“Drunk Yoga” is like the Taoist 69 of these two contrasting pursuits. Where structured disciplined health & spirituality meets intentional self-poisoning inarticulate inhibitionlessness. It is a doomed love affair that is both offensively repugnant and utterly rubberneckingly irresistible.

You can review the full range of these on FunTuna.

Strangely “Downward-Facing Dog” is NOT on the list–I guess I lost that bet.

The same Drunk Yoga images are popping up a lot of different places now. It’s actually unclear who posted them first, but kllproject.lv was early on (and may be the originator); the site has also continued on from the original dipsomaniacal yogic-diptychs to feature another set of drunk yoga, cat-yoga(!!), and more. See examples below…

It also probably won’t shock you that a YouTube search for “drunk yoga” guarantees minutes of schadenfreudtastic delights.

Actor, nerd, poet, producer, writer mikl-em made his name short so you wouldn't have to. In addition to his blog you can find his writing in "Hi Fructose" magazine and witness him almost life-sized in various plays at The Dark Room Theater in SF's Mission district.

He tends to write about theater, humor, San Francisco culture and history, and stuff that's just plain weird. He thanks Scott for sharing the keys to the Laughing Squid virtual HQ and promises to uphold whatever it is that the mirthful cephalopod would prefer to be uplifted.
