My Uncle lives far away and is also insterested in TUGs (Funny story about how I found out heh heh) So he and his buddy got drunk as a skunk and decided to play TUGs. BAD IDEA. My uncle tied his buddy up in a hogtie with a collar connected to the wall. The buddy fell over and slowly began to choke. Meanwhile, my uncle passed out in the living room. The neighbors got there just in time to prevent the buddy from dying. He is still in the hospital, and will likly have some permanant brain damage.
MORAL: NEVER NEVER NEVER Do TUGs when drunk, under medication, or just plain stoned. You lose your sense of what is safe. Right now my uncle is seeing a pshchiatrist regularly for his guilt over what happened. Don't let this happen to you.
(I only post this to prevent other people from having the same thing happen to them)
