New Year's Eve
Upon arrival, we were each given a fifth of whiskey that was included in the price of admission, but unbeknownst to us, food was not served, except for some nibbles on each table. So our group of softball players and our wives nibbled, drank and danced all night long to AC songs like “I’m Eighteen” and “School’s Out”. Well sometime during the evening, a pair of ladies underwear ended up in a chandelier above the ballroom, and once they were noticed by the partygoers, suddenly ladies undergarments of all kinds were being tossed up and hanging on every chandelier in the place, which led to even more pandemonium! For the record, my wife kept her’s on! Plus she drove us home as the whiskey on an empty stomach had put this beer drinking softball player totally out of commission.
The worse New Year’s Eve memory occurred during college when a fraternity brother invited me to his home in Gibbon, Nebraska and I was set up with his sister to celebrate New Years Eve at the local American Legion Hall. She was three years older and about 30 pounds heavier than me! That didn’t go so well, but the highlight was the trip itself in his brand new Pontiac GTO as we listened to an eight track tape of our favorite band, Credence Clearwater Revival, that I had gotten for Christmas (CCR is also in the RR HOF). After hours of continuous play, the tape started skipping and finally got scrambled pretty much like the photo below just as we were about to arrive back at the frat house.
