Journal mekkab's Journal: Fake IDs 14

Journal by mekkab

So from the latest MEME-go-round (its not a meme!!!- Oh STFU and GBTW!) it seems that none of y'all have Fake ID'd.

Frankly, I'm surprised. But then again my history is not your history.

My first fake ID usage came while visiting my sister in Rhode Island. I was lent an ID from a friend of my sisters. I was Armando, from NJ!@ I memorized the facts on the card face, and even knew that ARMANDO was a Libra. The bouncer at the club barely looked at the id. I then got throughly drunk, flirted with my sister's boss's wife, and later threw up on my sisters couch. All in all, a good time.

However my story does not end there. NY had licenses with a bluish-whitish background, and the DOB in RED for those just under 21. Since I was born in the spirit of '76, it was child's play to take some chalk, "white-out" the cross bar of the 6, and then use red color pencil make it into a 0. Thats right; through the magic of 3rd grade arts and crafts, Mr. BABY-FACE himself was now Born in 1970. And this ID worked like a charm in the seedy parts of Charm City (i.e. ALL of it), a good 4 hours away from NY.
(note: I had forgotten I'd 'chalked up' when visting an 18 to party/21 to drink bar in NY. The bouncer took one look at my id, wet his thumb, and wiped off the chalk. I apologized and said "I forgot I had that! I'm just here to see the band! It works in Baltimore!")

The scariest experience was getting carded by a cop in Baltimore. He asked my age and I squeaked "26!" Incredulous, he asked for my Id. And then the seconds turned to minutes. "They take you to jail for this..." But once he flipped the id to look at the back (yes, I WAS an organ donor!), I realized "this guy has NO IDEA what he's doing!" He handed the ID back and called me "sir."

That was pretty awesome.
Carry on with your puddle-jumping tea parties and broken-hearted snow angels.

  • My brother who is six years older than I am. Once I had a growth spurt and was 6'5" with him it all became too easy. But after you get that tall you rarely get carded anyways.
  • but I'm not wearing any pants right now
  • Booze was always easy to get for me, from about the age when I started caring, until I turned 21. We all knew the stores and bars that didn't generally card, as well as the clubs where the doorman was bribable. It also wasn't too hard to find someone to buy it for you.

    I had some friends who got fake ID's in college, but I always had better things to spend money on.
  • and I'm not talking white out and pencil here. I had access to a hi-res scanner and card printer. :-) I never got carded until after I turned 21 tho. In my area, if you could see over the bar, they'd serve you.

  • I started drinking in bars at 14. Drinking age back then, in my state, was still 18. I was a geek and taking college courses already, so I had a student ID from the university. Didn't actually say my age on it, but I looked old enough (already had a scruffy beard and longish hair) and so was rarely carded, and when I was the Uni. ID was generally taken as sufficient. I remember one time it wasn't so they asked me to finish my beer and leave. So we drank up and moved on, no fuss. Those were more civilised ti

    • Oh yeah! I had a set of local community college IDs... my friends had forgone their senior year of high school (they would have been lynched by the administration anyway) and did some program where they got a GED and some college courses under their belt. Needless to say during Student ID day they swiped some blanks and some sleeves. However not much became of it, and 18 was only old enough to get smokes.

      As for having the older girlfriend, that makes sense. And the corollary to that was "If you are with
