Well put, KR.  I echo your comments about H&W, although you did forget to mention their penchant for violins and pep band.

Careful about telling too much though-- you may need the "dream team" of Johnnie lawyers for your defense-- or appear in Judge JR's courtroom.

My favorite sign ever was posted on that footbridge in the pre-Laker days: "St. John's supports CSB Vaginas".  Long story, but well-worth a Stiftingfest telling.

ROR,

Have u purchased your case of Fire Laker shirts yet?  I am arriving early on Saturday to see if I can acquire a few of these.  Frank and I will be drinking Hamms starting at 9am.  Duffman and fins I recommend you fellas show up early too.  Which reminds me, are we "doubling or tripling" the amount of kool-aid this week?  Let me know if we need some more RUM.

Driver,

No, I don't even know the deeb.  But I might be up to buying and wearing one.

I am going to get up there as early as I am allowed to.

You are talking about water from the Rum River, correct?  Is the meeting
place the baseball field again?

[Touchdown Tommy]

Lots of nutrients in the water from the Rum.  No, didn't you hear we are meeting by the Prep School this week. 

I think Meidt might look like this following the game on Saturday...

Esq,
Good points all around. I never knew a health and wellness kid to play the violin, but it fits the mold.

I am not sure if we are thinking of the same footbridge sign or not as I believe you were gone before Nate and I started our SJU careers, however the one I remember looked something like this:

Slightly better pic:



Note: right-click (control-click on a Mac) and "View image" to embiggen.

That was a copycat sign from the year before.  Still a good sign- karma for finding such good pics of it!

[Mr.Shoes]

KR, I did know you in college and I do know how not-H&W you are. I appreciate the story, though.

I also remember the Halloween costume you wore to our party fall '01 (which I believe you alluded to in your story). Excellent work on that particular piece of team attire.

I've had that pic sitting on my web server for I don't know how long. It's about time I got to post it somewhere

[sju56321]

57-no contact from "W"  , but agree that JR is more qualified, in that, he knows how to deal with internal politics.
I have a story of tombstones, from St. Joe, placed on Roman's front lawn one night.

Great idea Bus, now that they're on to our baseball field highjinks. Prep School it is! I'll have the 1st batch of koolaid ready to go, and some extra juice. If someone cares to bring some Rum River water, we can mix as we need. Now that you're in town, I think we'll need.

Kilted: Excellent rant. If the sciences don't work out, you can always be Pat Coleman's assistant on the board or something.

ROR: I hope you don't have any pictures of me! Oh you couldn't have, I was invisible mostly.
I think that was Marc Shemesh who drove his car across the footbridge before they put the little gates up. He and his brother Gary, being the only jews on campus were always threatening to petition the school for a Jewish Student Union, so they could have a lounge with a TV and pool table, too.
And you should be allowed to arrive early, since no doubt you got permission for the ill-fated Friday night bash, then said something like, "Gee honey, I'd rather spend Friday night with just you. I'll see those guys on Saturday, anyway." Cleared for take-off. See you around noon.
JR: We had a little extra meat from last week that I'll bring to put on your shiny grill. About 1 pack. We'll probably need it this week.


Anybody see a pattern here? Bus shows up once, and we run out of koolaid and have leftover food?

[DuffMan]

Ha, I've got the same pic, too.

Here's some good fun that Shoes and TC will likely remember.  

Freshman year, it was decided that the laundry room in Mary would make a nice boxing ring (much alcohol and pot were involved).  So, some of the fellas on the floor took it upon themselves to recruit as many "fights" for the night as possible.  Fighters ranged from athletes to computer nerds (much like ROR).  Well, imagine an entire floor on Mary crammed into the laundry room watching boxing matches.  I even remember an RA there.  Well, this went on for at least a half hour, probably longer.  There was even a ref and scorekeepers!  Needless to say, someone broke his nose, and our night of boxing was over.

And, oh yeah, Kilted, you spoke of H&W seniors puking outside of Sal's.  Is it acceptable for a freshman to puke on a Mercury Cougar at Sal's?

[Mr.Shoes]

I DO remember that DuffMan. And if I recall correctly, we got through at least 4 or 5 different matches (three 1:00 rounds each, no?) before Life Safety figured out what was going on. Considering the sheer number of people mashed into the laundry room and watching through the windows outside, I'm amazed it lasted that long.

You forgot to mention the boxing golves involved. Somehow they'd gotten a hold of those oversized gloves that have extra padding and were exceptionally awkward (and hilarious!) to use.

Didn't Football Jesus fight a match?

I'm surprised more people don't puke at Sal's, honestly.

SJU Halloween memories....hmmmm.....

There we were in old Seidenbush #6, (where the new Art building is now, for you young fellas) getting stiff. It never really occured to us to go into town to any parties until we ran out of beer. Well where do 10 guys get costumes at 10 pm on a Saturday? Being the creative (read: drunk) guys that we were, we all donned Hefty garbage bags, went down to the Abbey gardens and stole the garden hoses and cut them up and wrapped ourselves. You guessed it....Hose Bags.

[Mr.Shoes]

Wait, they moved Seidenbush to Flynntown? Good grief. The damn place was condemned a few years ago and students are still living in there.
