Leaving Damian unconscious on a couch the home of a gay professor in Miami after taking his shoes so he couldn't walk home.
A trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. a locker room experience, we took a vow never to mention again. A run in with escaped Hitler youth, Nate defiling a lovely Lass, Casper sleeping fully clothed- ready to escape. Fritz taking everyone's picture with no film, Army John get assaulted by a humorless female with the propensity to throw fish. Beating Northern Edinburgh then celebrating with them for 24 hours. chuck not having a ticket home. |
