There's a lot of subtlety and detail behind that apparently simple question, but in the most likely scenarios, the answer is yes you can as long as you tell the stories and don't read 'em from the book. OTOH, you might not want to accept free drinks in exchange for the stories as that might complicate things ;)

Hypothetically, in a couple of weeks, there will be no strangers in Athens bars...
Amen.
Don't hurt people, and don't take their stuff.

Geez, we're supposed to get all gushy and sentimental AFTER the event, or at least have the decency to wait until we're all drunk together.

Florida is a stand your ground state, so if someone is coming down an isle the wrong way without a mask, can I bust them in the head with a can of soup? I'm trying to stay calm but you can't "be kind" to assholes.
and that pussy Alec Baldwin blew that girl away, and speaking of pussy Steve got it all!

No, but you can create a head on, cart to cart, collision. You'll want to have the front end of your cart weighted w/ heavy items for maximum effect.

Thank you. I did consider that as I had 3 gallons of milk in the front. Thanks again for all your wisdom over the years.
