| Zodiac13: 2 run ins with the law in
a matter of hours keeps us more or less inside the hotel. The drunken
lunacy rages on. Additional beer runs are made. Shackle's I.D. work
again for a 40 of Bud Light. There's a guy panhandling in the store.
What the fuck? Team members drop off at an alarming rate. I make friends
with the hotel detective & he keeps it cool for us to drink in
the lobby. Gusto disappears. Tim 5 Points goes outside and hangs out
with the homeless guy with the Uzi water pistol. Tim shoots water
at cars. (Bonus Points awarded!) |
| Amorone: We got back in the hotel and
all crowded into one of our hotel rooms to drink hangout and listen
to Zodiac13's AMAZING stories!!! He kept all of us laughing soooo
hard..."GORILLA MASK" !!!!!!!! (*reading this is when Tim
spits his drink yet again) |
| The Green Monkey: Gorilla Mask with
Witchdoctor Variation rules! |
Party in the hotel room!!! |
Brothers separated at birth?

| Amorone: Somehow, the party moved from the room
down into the hotel lobby...maybe it was because the lobby was just that much
closer to the corner convenience store that we were draining of all beer...
the "drinking contest" continued...
|
| AlvaCollector: The fat chick in the
lobby, I told her that her boob was about to pop out 30 seconds before
it did. |
| ShackleMeNot: Went to the bodega and
I put my ID to use again, bought 2 40's of Budweiser. Couldn't find
PBR or Guinness. Curses. We went back to the hotel, and Seth and Lush
said their goodbyes Gusto was drunkenly hitting on some 40 year old
hooker or something out side of the hotel for over an hour, we thought
he was in jail After making several trips back and forth from the
room to the lobby to smoke, the security personnel told us it was
cool to sit in the lobby and drink as long as we weren't too loud.
Soon enough, the whole party was kicking down there. Unfortunately,
Tom was the first to bow out of the drinking contest. |
| AlvaCollector: Under age kids with braces
should nod and not smile when in a bar. They also shouldn't shout
"hey, I got in" and then walk to the bar and try to order
a Coke. |
| ShackleMeNot: After a few minutes, We
realized that Tim had disappeared. We look out the window and see
a bum on a bus stop bench with a toy gun, and Tim approaching him
across the street. He sits down, appears to be saying hello, and the
hobo reaches out and kisses Tim's hand. Holy shit! After chatting
for a few minutes, the bum handed Tim the gun, which he waves around,
knowing the whole time that the rest of us are eagerly watching the
events unfold. Several pictures were taken, but i'm not sure if any
came out. That had to be the highlight of the weekend. |
| Amorone: I think I was first to notice
some crazy commotion outside across the street. As I looked closer,
I saw that it was a homeless guy sitting on the bench, yelling at
passing cars and waving a plastic Uzi water gun around. Of course,
I called the others over to see. About then Tim says "I'm gonna
go talk to the dude…" and off he scampered. I ran back to
grab my camera from the lobby chair and then looked for vantage points
from windows to remain concealed. Nothing was working, so I stepped
outside to click some shots from the doorway. Sure enough, Tim goes
right over and sits down. They shake hands and seem to introduce themselves.
So I watch and click away as they seem to sit and be into a conversation.
Then an amazing thing happens…you could almost see the bond form…the
homeless guy gave Tim a cigarette! That was incredible! Do you know
what it means to bum a cigarette from a bum ?!?!?! On top of that,
the homeless guy hands Tim his Uzi so Tim can fire off water blasts
at a few cars. They sat out there for a good 10 minutes or so and
then Tim shook his hand again. The homeless guy then kisses Tim's
hand before releasing him….guess he was being extra-friendly.
Tim hopped back over to the hotel to share the stories of his new
found friendship. Apparently, the guy was giving Tim advice on how
to survive on the street…among other tid-bits of knowledge. |

| Zodiac13: Gusto returns after thouroughly
harrassing most of Nashville. Another beer run is made. The last men
standing were Myself, Mrs. Zodiac, TGM, AC, Gusto & Shacklemenot.
It became too much. I bowed out gracefully. I went to bed. I did not
win the drink off. I also do not know who won said contest, seeing
as how AC & Shackle decided to get in on the action. |
| ShackleMeNot: Green Monkey won the contest,
although I was the last member awake. Jeff was the next to bow out
of the contest, and Tim followed shortly after. It was down to Gus,
T2 (Troy), Steve, and myself, although I can hardly be counted, seeing
as I hadn't been drinking for 14 hours. We soon realized that Gus
had fallen asleep with his beer in his hand, and that left the three
of us to chat for a couple hours. Troy called it a night about a half
an hour before us, and me and Steve sat up finishing our beers and
chatting about his trip to Macchu Picchu. I was extremely interested
in hearing his story, I've always been really into pre-colombian cultures,
and its a goal in life for me to go to Tikal and Palenque, Mayan cities
in Mexico and Guatemala. We finally ended the contest at 5:30am, Steve
as the undisputed winner of the drinking contest.

| Lush: TGM lived up to the high expectation
- prize pack included a Indy T shirt, Indy leather wallet, and cool
Indy flask (BIG thanks to greg @ XXX Sports) |
| The Green Monkey: After agreeing that
the only possible enforceable rule for the drinking contest was that
it would simply be the last man standing, here are the final results.
If the rules were different, something like "whoever is the most
prolonged and ridiculously drunk for the longest length of time",
it would certainly have gone to Gusto, quite possibly as soon as he
had his Bud on the rocks on the way to get food first thing on Saturday.
5) Zodiac. After conceding defeat almost from the get-go, Tom bowed
out a little later than he initially declared (it turned out that
he had a few more Amazing Stories up his belt after all...), but
went quietly into that good night.
4) Gusto. A brilliant display of long-term, out-of-control, what-will-he-do-next
that ended with a whimper, passed out in a cowboy hat with his beer
firmly gripped in his hand, reclining on a hotel lobby chair with
his feet up on the table. His encore was taking half a leak on Amorone's
hotel door before I could stop him.
3 or 2) AC or Plywood20. The prospect of an early departure time
cowed AC into scurrying off, and general eyeball dryness got to
P20. I can't recall which one of you guys left first...
1) Was it ever in doubt? SMN kept me company up until about 5:30
or so, when we finally decided to call it a night, and wake up the
Gusto. Thanks for the gear, Oldschoolrulz! I'll use it faithfully...
|
| Plywood20: I do feel that I have to
say that I was actually the third man standing. I think that I finally
gave up around 4 or 5 this morning which left only TGM & Shackle
and they both seemed to be in pretty good shape. Gusto, on the other
hand, managed to pass out in the hotel lobby while still holding his
beer upright. |
| AlvaCollector: Yeah, Plywood was representing
the Ohio crew until the wee hours. |
