I want so badly to forget the pirate punch…but the party was super ‘Pumpkin Palace’

Telly’s porn was ok until he pulled out the one with Ron Fields👎

I remember coed porno night on Curtis III with some jugs of Widmer Niagara. Telly was running the projector and delighted in reversing the film at just the right moments over and over again. 😀😀😀

Imported girls?  Does that mean they were more expensive / exotic  than the “domestic” girls at Ursinus?  I actually participated with a Lebanon Valley imported girl – until- like so many of my romances were not to be.  I would like to think I had poor judgement when it came to women, but it was probably me. It was more than likely a lot of both.

Speaking of imported, on Sunday night the only bar I recall being open was the Bridge Hotel.  It had something to do with serving food.  Anyway, we had convinced the barmaid that Lowenbrau was a domestic beer ( cheaper) and drank our fair share.  At the time it was also imported.  

It was great to drink with Connie Myer at the Pen and Ink because he always bought. I did a lot of that my senior year.  At 10 pm on third fl Curtis, there was a bridge game for awhile, where at each seat there was always a quart of beer – provided by Ace, Hass or Harry.  It was good to be a bridge player.

If I recall, I had a fondness for Cutty Sark scotch at the time.

Very true. Getting back to the pirate punch I remember the imported girls from Lebanon valley or Albright hugging each other in the corner Zavarick’s trying not to get sick. Oh. The good old days

I remember sitting in your room pooling pocket change to afford the $4.99.

Aye Vince, ye be lucky ye weren’t stretched on the yardarm for pouring your damnable Crèamed de Cow into our libation (& get laid) bowl.  Twas a miserable sight.  Some of our hearty buccaneers still drank the swill ….and paid the price.  Fortunately, some other grog appeared and broached the gap.  

I recall some members of our crew bottling the bilge water and pasting labels with a Skull & Crossbones on it that stated “Drink Only If Desperate (or Degenerate)” which naturally ended up being stored in Henri & Todd’s room….hmmm?  

Well, me hearty’s we survived to tell the tale!  ARRRGHH!

My Friday nite was a quart of mount vernon whiskey $4.99. Of course who can forget the memorable pirate punch with grain alcohol and creme de cocoa 
Great memories 
Vince


Ahoy Bob!
You are right matie;  anything that was near 2oz was just a taster for the strength of the brew. Yo Vince, do you have anything to add to this mix??
 Rick 

Yo Rick,
One: Never let a good idea get in the way of Betan humor.  Two: when did anyone ever bring 2 ounce bottles to a Beta Sig party?  Three:  I did like your pairings below J.

Guys, Guys, this is wine tasting with 4 or 5 small bottles of a variety of wines from this winery.  Maybeeeee we can substitute Boone’s Farm, Ripple, Night Train, Trump’s Merlot and other candidates.  Just a thought.
Rick

Bill,
Seems expensive. 
Remember “What’s the word? Thunderbird. How’s it sold? Good and cold. What’s the jive? Bird’s alive. What’s the price? Thirty twice.” 
My favorite formaldehyde infused wine however is Ripple.

I can get a 1/2 case of night train for twenty five bucks.  How about you guys each send me five bucks and I’ll send you a bottle of night train and we will have a zoom call.  I think we’ll have more fun.
Bill

I’d need more than 2 ounce bottles!
Keith

Any interest? It’s on Zoom
