EG - Thanks for one of the greatest threads to ever grace this site.He used to, but homeboy started going bald before he even graduated undergrad and just said #### it and shaved his head.
You know the story telling was good when that happens. Like we knew the guy.
This suit picture is amazing. I said out loud, "are you ####### kidding me?"
Thank you so much for sharing this story.
That suit is awesome! Worth every penny he paid for it. I'm curious if he had footwear to compliment and enhance the outfit. Me, if I had the panache to rock that suit I would have done so with some roach killer boots and with an audio system behind me playing Leon Redbone for intro music. I may have also considered either a cane or a really sweet watch fob to twirl as I strutted, because lets face it, a man does not walk or stroll in that suit, he struts.
I am, fear not.EG - Thanks for one of the greatest threads to ever grace this site.
This is just me thinking out loud. Considering recent developments around here combined with the nature of some of these tales, please tell me that you're saving them somewhere. I would hate any of the hard work that's been spent, both living them and typing them out, to go to waste.
When I was preparing to graduate from college my Grandmother decided I needed a suit. She sent me one. Being Irish it would only do that it were green and plaid. Now I am a fairly good sized fellow, a hair short of 6'3" and barrel chested and with a 37 inch sleeve. The suit was a bit snug around the chest and comically short in the arms and legs. I immediately ran to the Goodwill store and brought plaid socks, white patent leather shoes with a sweet faux gold clasp across the top, a matching belt, and I put on the suit, sans shirt, the socks and shoes, some shades and headed out for the night after fortifying myself with some hallucinogens. Somewhere during the evening I managed to pick up a blind person's cane, foldable, red and white. I hope I made a fair trade for it and did not simply abscond with it, but who knows. I took to tapping my way around and enjoyed folks clearing the way. I got to a place that featured foosball and pool. Some buddies and I played pool, me missing every shot, rarely striking the ball. I got loud and said that pool was not my game but that I was pretty confident me and a buddy could win at foosball. Some belligerent took us up on it. We won the first game with me feigning, occasionally, huge misses and at times making unlikely lucky shots or stops. The belligerent decided he wanted to bet money. We took his bet. That game I played my full game and we won handily. I don't believe he scored. About then some other friends came up and asked, loudly, why I was pretending to be blind. I don't know, maybe because I was tripping and wearing a totally awesome miss-fitting plaid suit and had picked up a cane during my travels that evening (I still don't know where or how. I hope some blind guy was not stumbling around all night for lack of his cane but who knows?). Anyhow the comment got the drunk belligerent angry and he threatened to start a brawl. One of the bouncers interceded because he was not going to have anybody beating up a blind guy. The belligerent could not convince him I was playing, I mean who plays at that. The belligerent was tossed and I was treated to free drinks all night. Upon leaving I left the jacket with the bouncer as he had been admiring it all night, that's right, he loved it!. When I got home I was wearing jeans. Apparently I traded the pants for jeans, also an Orioles baseball cap, apparently, with whom or when I did not remember. My suit looked like this:![]()
So true. I honestly don't remember what footwear he had on.

Never have I had one as sweet as your friends.
Compared to you I have lived a cloistered life. No, I could not maintain a thread. We are all here to follow your exploits, exploits I applaud for their reckless audacity. Also nobody wants to hear my tales as they always end up with me going home alone.![]()

You should start your own "Story Time" thread, my man.
As an aside, this wasn't the only suit of this ilk that Dan-O owned. I think he had 3 or 4 similar ones that he would bust out, apropos of nothing, every now and again on a whim. He was an interesting dude.
I'd read....Compared to you I have lived a cloistered life. No, I could not maintain a thread. We are all here to follow your exploits, exploits I applaud for their reckless audacity. Also nobody wants to hear my tails as they always end up with me going home alone.
Same here. I saw Faz as the blond surfer/skater/stoner from the 90's.You are great at describing how people look. The picture of Faz is exactly how I pictured him.
She was a frigging life-saver for Dan-O. Had he not been chatting her up shortly before that, he was stone cold f---ed. No way any of us were doing that for him, he would have been rolled down the sidewalk with #### in his pants. As it turned out, he didn't look all that off getting home - it just looked like he was wearing a t-shirt and shorts with a jacket/shirt tied around his waist. Until the wind blew, that is...That nurse should have hired herself out as a designated adult. she could drive, clean up, take charge. Seems a small investment for some groups. Beats attorneys fees the next day.
An Irish goodbye, a Specialty of mine during my 20s. A bit of a dying art in the cell phone era.I have some similar stories with less total consumption, but with similar results. One ends with me passed out on a bus headed back from where I got on, meaning I had ridden the entire route and was headed back to the scene of the crime, the Long Beach Grand Prix. The sun was still up.![]()
I had made the smart decision to peel off from my friends, who were headed to pine street to really get it on after the race. I never said a word to them, just turned right instead of left, in the throng of humanity leaving the race. Hearing the story from their end is great, one minute I was there, the next, vanished without a trace.
Born and raised in Monmouth county... Holmdel to be exact until i was 14.Faz was from the Glassboro area. Rose and Jer-Mac are from North Jersey, Clark/Westfield/Union area. The rest of us all grew up in Freehold Township/Marlboro/Colts Neck, which are relatively wealthy suburbs, heavily populated with Jewish and Italian families. I went to a lot of bar mitzvahs growing up and am intimately familiar with the Feast of Seven Fishes. 4 Glassboro (Rowan) grads, 2 Rutgers, 1 LaSalle and 1 Villanova.

I wish - I think my parents are literally the poorest people in that city......... Ha!Rich kid!![]()
So weird - by pure coincidence this morning when setting my fantasy baseball lineup for the day, I accidentally clicked on my own user name and it pulled up past leagues/team names that I hadn't seen in many years. Check out my (one of two) fantasy basketball team names from 2004...Faz took it on the chin for this weekend worse than anyone. If only I hadn’t jokingly suggested making that one last stop, he would have come out of it none the worse for wear. He was ultimately convicted of assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, and obstructing justice, even though (or maybe because) several of us showed up at his trial extremely baked and carrying hand painted picket signs that said “Amnesty for Faz!” (not kidding.) He spent a little bit of time in the hoosegow as a result of that night.
Beef: We took a picture of my ### in his face this morning when he passed out at the track…
Girl: That’s lovely.
When do we get the Sh!t box for Katie or F'n Bologna T!ts stories? Did I miss them already??So weird - by pure coincidence this morning when setting my fantasy baseball lineup for the day, I accidentally clicked on my own user name and it pulled up past leagues/team names that I hadn't seen in many years.

Nothing on the bologna, that was just a Jerky Boys reference, but the Katie one actually does have a short story behind it. Perhaps I'll write that one soon, it would be short and ummm.... sweet?When do we get the Sh!t box for Katie or F'n Bologna T!ts stories? Did I miss them already??

Like others, these stories bring back memories of my own craziness. My friends and I did a lot of stupid, crazy stuff but nothing like this. God, it would have been fun just to hang out with the EG crew for one weekend.
Still think EG needs to publish these stories.
You got a lot of reading to do, my friend.Grahamburn said:lol
I'm on page one. The Ace Frehley story slayed me.
It depends. If you were a hardcore drinker, you probably would have had a blast. If not, you probably would have ended up like the many, many folks that got invited along on a trip like this without realizing what was in store for them. Usually, that meant lying in a puddle of piss and vomit in the corner of a room somewhere while people threw stuff at you.DocHolliday said:Masterpiece.

Oh absolutely we are interested!I wasn't sure if anyone would care.
The thing is, there was no shame in it. We were so used to it that unless you were a long-standing member of the "gang" that had a bad day (all bets were off at that point) nobody really messed with you too hard. You'd take some ribbing, but we'd make sure you didn't need to go to the hospital and we'd make sure you stayed out of jail (or ran afoul of your parents if you go back that far.)Party roadkill.
I used to be able to go hard but not sure if I'd be able to survive the marathon or if I'd be in the corner with piss & vomit on me. I would have cherished the opportunity to find out.
Harmless stuff like this happened, but more often when one of the core members passed out early. I dropped out early in the race one night and my buddy Daryl filled my brand new sneakers with picante sauce. That one sucked. Still better than when Kev blacked out one night and we borrowed an idea from Sam Kinison and took pictures of him with a realistic dildo in his face that was hanging out of someone's pants. "Now it doesn't look like he's asleep, it looks like he's in ecstasy!" We blew it up to an 8 x 10 a week later and made hundreds of photocopies and hung them all over the public areas at his campus. He wasn't thrilled with us for a while after that.We use to put a small dab of peanut butter in the ear of these passed out guys and watch them scratch their ears.
Harmless yet at the same time is a crusher. Love it.We blew it up to an 8 x 10 a week later and made hundreds of photocopies and hung them all over the public areas at his campus. He wasn't thrilled with us for a while after that.
I'll never give it up, even if things are much slower these days. I did go on a pub crawl through Cocoa Beach on St. Patrick's Day that culminated in my doing "Raining Blood" from Slayer during karaoke at a VFW hall. Complete with screaming into the mic : "All you people in the back.... GET THE F**K UP!!!"Good Lord, that suit! I just woke my napping wife up I laughed so loud. Truly something spectacular!![]()
i'll be pouring out a couple for Faz and Dan-O tonight for sure.
EG, I feel like I lived a life of a damn choir boy after reading all these stories. Happy you're still alive and kudos for living life the way you want.
