College stories

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I went to Lynchburg College in (where else but) Lynchburg, Virginia. Lynchburg, not being the largest of towns, made the kids who went to the college a bit ingenius when it came to creating things to do for fun.

One idea we had, was to make the largest tub of Jungle Juice in all of existence. We bought one of the largest trash cans we could find, poured in about 3-4 fifths of Bacardi 151 and filled the rest with Hawaiian Punch, apples, oranges, the usual.

For those who aren't familiar with Jungle Juice, it takes some time to "cure" so therefore I had it sitting in my closet overnight to let it ferment some more. Word was spreading over this enormous trash can full of the Juice and I would say that I had about 100-200 IM's asking me when it would be ready.

One thing led to another and the RA's caught wind of it and tried to shut down my makeshift moonshine operation.

Without having TRUE access to my room, I found that anyone who wanted any could just come in with a water bottle and have their fill. Jungle Juice doesn't smell too much like alcohol, BUT it sneaks up on you like you'd never believe.

At about 5 PM I started serving to anyone who wanted to come and get some, and many people showed up with MORE Bacardi 151 to throw in the can. By the end of the night, when things ALSO started getting hazy, we put down trash bags and made a huge "Jungle Juice" slip'n'slide in the hallway.

Not only did the entire building get written up, put on probation, AND have to make speeches to other dorms about the problems of alcohol, we also had to foot the bill to replace the entire carpet on my side of the dorm.

Matty, I remember the haziness feelings and God I miss college sometimes! LOL
