Rizzling is the fine art of becoming completely intoxicated, placing loose rolling paper on your fingertips and running around a room like an idiot in front of your drunk friends while the papers spin like pinwheels.

Excuse me while I go pick up some Jameson and rolling papers. My place at 8? (via booooooom)
