At another game, also at the Rockpile, a guy walking behind me fell and literally landed on my lap

 

That just reminded me of a show at Red Rocks a couple of years ago. A guy walking across the row behind us fell forward. My wife just happened to be looking to the side, noticed him out of the corner of her eye, and caught him. If not for that, he'd have done a harsh face-plant in the row of seats in front of us.

Can't remember what year  I last barfed from drinking, but I think it was about 40 years ago. And maybe once around 30 years ago, around the time my dad died(1990).

Freakin lightweights.  Know your limit. If you throw up from drinking after the age of 25 you’re an idiot.

 

Can't remember the last time I blew chow from drinking. At some point in my life my body opted to pass-out/fall asleep before it got to that point.

 

Had a friend who thought nothing of throwing up and continuing to drink. Did so multiple times at my bachelor party weekend at Killington. The next summer we had a family reunion at Killington and I gave my newlywed a tour of the spots Adam threw up. Good times!

May I ask what the show was?  Who was the performer?

OK, now I have to tell the tale of Pete. ROTC Pete from college. I’m not a small person, but Pete was large. Maybe 6’4” and 230 lbs. Pete was also made of steel, as I learned when he joined the rugby team. Some guys are big, but soft. There are also some small wirey guys you don’t want to mess with. Pete was built like a tank, but tougher, and he was relentless! 

 

So it's stupid college antics and a dozen girls challenge a dozen guys (mostly from the rugby team) to see who can drink a keg of beer first, then get every member of the team up to the college bar and every team member has to finish one more beer. 

 

The event is held in the girls dorm with a room for two girls adjoining a similar room with a bath in between. There are two kegs with signs in the shower in the middle, one for the guys, one for the girls. We start drinking. And drinking. We drink pretty hard for quite a while. Eventually Pete starts puking still cold beer. I mean, they should have put some time limit on how long it had to be in your stomach, because Pete was all about volume in, with no regard for volume out. It was insane, but he went on to serve our country and I felt safer knowing Pete was on our side! 

 

Eventually, the girls declare their keg is empty and they are going to the bar to finish the deal. They had switched kegs and thought they outsmarted us. They left a dozen guys in their suite who had put down the better part of two kegs. I look back and wonder if that is even possible, but I was there! Pete was our cold beer recycler and I know that made a difference. Anyway, I’m guessing the girls later realized the flaw in their plan after leaving us all alone and TRASHED in their suite. 

 

Ahhh, the good times. 

 

I don’t miss college, but there are some funny memories!

Rich Stadium Aug. 1974 concert.  Lynyrd Skynyrd / James Gang / E L P 

We sat right in the middle of the quadraphonic speaker system. 

Guys sitting in front of us were hitting the adult beverages pretty hard during L S. 

One of them passed out and looked to be in bad shape and his buddies ignored him.

SO my buddy and I decided to carry him to the First Aid station, with me carrying his shoulders

and Gary on the feet.  The crowd would not move to allow us passage, so

Gary called out loudly "I dont know when, but this guy is gonna puke."  And lo

and behold there was a parting  like the Red Sea.  We got him to First Aid

and returned to enjoy one of the greatest concerts I have ever attended.

 Foreigner at The Aud in 1979 - my first concert. I have better taste in music now.
