Yep we know.... Sorry for your losses
This is fun....let me tell you the rest of the story that night. I worked through graduate school breaking pottery. I worked at a pottery which was nationally known and I had to break the imperfect pottery and clean the glaze off the boards which took the pieces to the kiln on carts. They did not want students raiding the dumpsters and taking perfectly good pottery from the dumpsters, and their seconds store was full as sales could not keep up with the kiln's imperfections.
That night I got done with work and I was covered with glaze on my clothing....it was spring break and all my room mates were gone except myself and Mike who was an all state flanker, an actor, and a golden glove boxer. He had just finished the play the Devils where he played the lead Urbain Grandier who was played by Oliver Reed in the 1971 movie. He had to shave his head for the part and wore a wig during the play, and they shave his head and torture him at the end of the play... his head was shaved.
I get back to our house, which was a converted store front which had apartments above the old storefront which had last been used as a church and where we boxed regularly in the open space. Well, I see Mike and he is watching the State Basketball finals and has a quart of Peppermint schnapps. we watched the game and slid the bottle across the floor and finished it before the game ended, he then suggest we go hit the college bars.....graduate students bored of that routine, but hell I was up for going down town and pick up girls with Robert De Niro from taxi driver before the world knew the same.
I am covered with dust and he is wearing this beat up rag of a jacket and we start hitting on girls.....like somebody was going to be that drunk....needless to say some guys did not appreciate our routine....it was obnoxious, crude, and a beautiful thing to participate in.......I found an important lesson that night.....some girls like bad boyz.....we were real bad that night....I will tell some of those stories another night, but this beautiful girl(again I was very drunk and must apply a disclaimer) asks to come home with them......and one thing leads to another, and I get boots thrown at me......I felt guilty enough at what I did I told my girlfriend(wife) that I was a dick, but I stopped before I was disloyal.....did not mean a thing...she was pissed and I broke two rules that night.....never abandon you room mate, and never tell your girlfriend......the worse part of this story is the sob taught me how to box, and he put a beat on me for about a week. We went our separate ways, but I heard he became one of the all time winners on Jepordy and became a buddhist.....but he was one crazy hombre who I shared just a bit of my life and Pace thank you for letting me think about that night......I figured it out later....girls like to kiss dirty drunks who smell like pepperment.
