particulalrly debauched night i had in Bali when i was quite a bit younger - i was able to piece it together from photos from multiple cameras, police reports, newspaper articles, a few crumpled vetinary bills and a few bits of complete hearsay from locals who could not speak any English.
Apparently, i had been drinking some form of cocktail made with a particularly nasty type of local arak for most of the early afternoon at the Bali Bagus (i may also have had an omelette and milkshake from Midnight Oil - but i cannot imagine that would have caused any problems !!!) when a large troupe of circus performers and their animals arrived. From that point things got hazy. I have seen a few photos of me and some chimps in lingerie doing slammers, one of a bearded lady checking my teeth and have some vague recollections of flying on the pink elephants.
Police reports indicate that at some stage i was recovered from the Kuta surf "nearly drowned" - i think that was some prank pulled by the performing seals - told them i would do backflips for fish !!!
I woke the following afternoon wearing a bright orange leotard, was sore in places i did not know existed and was stuck with a vets bill for "removal of primate from pachiderms rear cavity".
So the moral of the story - dont start drinking till at least 5pm.
