Last Summer I had taken an internship that required me to move out
of the state for 3 months. Due to the nature of this job though I was
given extremely long holiday vacations though.
I decided for the 4th of July to head back to my college town to
celebrate with my friends. Since I was making good money over the
summer I decided to spring for a keg. We all loaded up and headed
over to an acquaintances house to consume said keg, and to roast a
pig.
My buddy who we will refer to from here on out as Gary, decides
early on that he is going to challenge the fattest girl there to a
drinking contest. What he failed to realize was that she was probably
the best drinker there. Now to this day I still do not know the
specifics of the wager but I do know that as the day wore on and the
two of them continued to try and out drink one another they got to be
better and better friends.
The night rolls around and we decide it is time to head to a bar
to get a change of scenery. We still haven't finished the keg, but we
know the owner of one of the local college bars. After a bit of horse
trading he agrees to let us bring our keg in, so long as we agree to
drink x amount of shots. Gary and his new lady friend take off
upstairs to have a magical evening together, while the rest of us
continue to party.
Closing time rolls around and Gary and his new friend are no where
to be found. We all automatically assume that the alcohol took
control and that Gary decided to go home with a hippo.
At 6 A.M. my phone rings, its my buddy Gary telling me to come and
get him. As it turned out he fell asleep underneath the outside
stairs at the bar with the hippo right next to him. That was a crazy
night.
