My friend was so drunk, he tried to punch someone in the face. He missed his target completely, lost his balance, fell on his face in the middle of the bar, and everyone there laughed at him including the kid he was trying to fight. He was extremely garbarrassing.

Get the Gambarro, gambUarro, gambarrO mug.Gambhorra'ta is a Fictional entity from The Stanley Parable. He is described as an evil wizard by the bucket and a force of unfathomable goodness and wisdom (according to the bucket manual provided in The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe collectors edition). He is said to have a profaned vault that is a near endless container where every moment from the past and present has slipped into. The vault can be accessed through dark windows/portals from which Gambhorra'ta can observe the unfolding of the universe.
Gambhorra'ta is also Latin for the word 'Seriousness', potentially hinting at a connection to the serious room from the game.
