jello and shot walked into a bar……
oh, notre dame. so you know when you don’t really want to go out but your friends drag you to a party and proceed to get completely wasted while you sulk in a corner, sober, because you agreed to be the DD and/or have to wake up and be at your grandma’s house at 8 am the next day, and what should be an awesome party becomes sickening and you think to yourself, am i like this when i’m drunk? that is how i felt at work today reading dube’s description of the party weekend in south bend, also known as part a. you threw up in a pitcher and then boots spilled it? you sealed your eyes shut with wax? you made fergilicious your ringtone?!?! keep it together people! anyway, thanks to dubes for the info and to roadhouse for the pics. i am totally down for part b in double oh seven.
—————————————
Friday: Work stunk it took all day. At lunch time i discovered that most people were bailing out on friday night, actually everyone bailed on friday night except Ryan. So I get home after a tiresome day at work and drink a beer while figuring out my plans for the evening. My friend Leia comes over and we play on youtube looking up music videos to sweet songs such as money maker (which is coincidently now my backring tone) and fergilicious. Ryan arrives bringing with him beer (always a plus). Mini gets his butt over to my house also bringing beer, however the beer he brought was like no other I have ever seen. It’s name is Cooks. it has a genuine beer flavor and promotes saving the world. No alcoholic percentage could be found anywhere, but there was a surgeon general’s warning that pregnant women should not drink alcholoic beverages, we assumed this to mean that it was in fact alcoholic.
After a couple beers we went over to Mini’s house to play Wii and then drinking games. After a rocky start that included pounding a couple Cooks, I began to dominate, despite what Ryan may or may not say. after that we went to an engineering grad school party (mini is still in grad school and i have my degree in engineering, so we felt we were justified in attending the party). It wasn’t quite as exciting as we had hoped, so Ryan and I decide we’re going to clear off a table to play drinking games. on this table are several candle, you know the floaty liquid kind. Thinking it would be safer to blow them out rather than move them lite, i attempt to blwo them out, but instead blow wax all over my face. yes, total embarrassment. Wax even sealed my eyes shut because it got caught in my eyelashes. Ryan led me to the bathroom and helped me remove most of the wax. fortunately i was still drunk and the embarrassment didn’t seem so great. After that we went back to Mini’s and devoured some pizza we ordered from papa johns, hoffman met us there too and i started to fall asleep and then we went home to rest up for the next day.
Saturday: I wokeup around 8am with a huge head ache, i popped some pills, drank some tea and stayed in the fetal position in mybed till about 9 when i got antsy and waited for everyone else to wakeup to go to breakfast. Finally Ryan and mini and our friend Alan got up and we went to Studebagels, a lovely little breakfast place in south bend. a little later after georgia and rob arrived we went disc golfing on campus while also giving a mini tour (read as me mostly talking about buildings while everyone else ignored me).
Then we got a call from Niki saying that she and steve and her friends jello and shot arrived. We went back to my house to meet them. upon entry into the house i discovered that the tv was on. Now this might seem like a strange observation, but my roommates (butler and Kreece) and I were under the impression that we didn’t receive tv. Steve rodell made an antenna out of tin foil and got us a signal. Shocking none the less. Promptly following this discovery, i realized i had lost my wallet while disc golfing. so i head back to campus with everyone in tow (cause niki and steve had yet to walk around yet) and look for my wallet. Shortly after parking i received a phone call from my dad asking me if i had lost my wallet. apparently someone found it and called him, amazing. i met up with the guy and he gave it back. I am very lucky. anyway after that we went to mini;s and played some more Wii. lots of fun. Dan benjamen and tom carter showed up at that time.
then we all went out to dinner. at the very end of dinner pfil and shultz showed up wearing “hick” clothes, aka tight ass jeans and overalls and flannel shirts. They then gave me my christmas present: a lynyrd skynyrd shirt, a leopard print thong, and bachelorette dice. After dinner we went back to my house for fun and games and dancing. Jello and shot got around very quickly. The first big game that was played was flip cup. Tall people versus the shorties. It was hilarious. The shorties dominated until the tallies started cheating. Then shultz i believe, decided we should wager on the game. if the shorties won, the tallies would all drop their pants (there were no women on the tall team). If the tallies won I had to wear the outfit shultz and pfil brought me. I did not like this idea, but my team agreed for me. It wa sa hardofught battle, considering the tall team kept cheating, but in th end we lost and i had to wear the stupid outfit. It was pretty funny though.
The next game we palyed was survivor shoulders (see the pictures of people huddled together those would be the groups we basically divided into as such happens on survivor). With a botch on both my part and even more so Boozewench’s our sect lost and we were all voted off. Niki was eventually named the winner, even though she had been voted off. She played like a true champ, it was awesome. After that it was a lot of table dancing and boozing and other games. but mostly dancing from what i remember. Also during the shoulders game you ahd to take a shot if you botched, pfil and shultz took a ton of shots, whether they were deserved or not i dunno, but they drank a ton. Around midnight, i got sleepy, as tends to happen, and because my bed is on the first floor of my house i pretty much passed out in my bed with butler and leslie (roommate and friend–dont’ worry nothing scandalous happened).
Basically from what everyone told me the next day this is what happened later that night in a nutshell: they all went to pyster bar in downtown south bend. pfil spent the majority of the night leaning up against the wall and puking into pitchers, which boozewench some how managed to knock over. schultz was being ridiculous, and kept trying to get hoffman and jen (hoff’s gf) to go in on a three way kiss with him. schultz and pfil were hitting on niki. niki was trying to make sure pfil wasn’t dying. steve dropped to glasses and realized he might be a little drunk. ryan and boozewench just kept making out. mini enjoyed everyhting going on. candace was crazy as usual, and cheng took it all in. somehow they all made it to hoff’s alive.
Sunday: Schultz, pfil, candace and cheng all left before i got to see them in the morning. Georgia puked when niki and ryan were recapping the rest of the night to me. those of us remaining went to studebagels for breakfast. then we went to mini’s to watch the bears game on tv. everyone left after the game, thus ending the weekend.
i believe this is most of it. I’m sure i’ve left some stuff out and i apologize for that. there were several drunk dials etc that most of us don’t remember. I didn’t take any pictures, the only one who did was cheng, and i think she sent out all the ones she took. as i read back over this email, it really has nothing to do with briefacase at all, but i like to write chronologically as it happened to me.
