Ain't no party like a New Year's Party

I don't have all the pictures; check back once I get the best of Garth's, Sanchu's and my Digital Camcorder pics / movies uploaded.

New Year's Eve featured a once in a life time handicap match worthy of the greatest of all PPV boxing matches, UFC events, or Wrestlemania's.

6 men (Me, Chad, Garth, Turkey, Sanchu, Moose)

vs.

1 Texas Mickey of Bacardi Rum.

And, with special guest referee -- Beer Pong (with Rum instead of beer).



So, in case you didn't know, Chad and Robin have this bazillion dollar house on the farthest western point of Calgary and we headed down for a New Year's eve party of epic proportions. Sanchu, from Poland, and Moose, from Australia, were both back in Canada and at this party. As such, it promised to be an amazing time.

We get to Calgary in near record time, despite the fact that this 18 year old dipshit tried to explain to us how to drink Big Bear (Moose and I bought two for the party). As we proceeded to tell him, we had been drinking the stuff since he was in diapers and that we seriously didn't "need any pointers".

Upon arrival in Calgary, however, we had to find Chad and Robin's place which was easier said than done. FOLLOWING ROBIN'S EXACT INSTRUCTIONS, we wound up at the Calgary zoo were I had to ask the Zebra for directions, and had to plow through downtown core road construction before finally arriving at their place.

And what a house it is! To say that Chad and Robin have a small house is to say that the L.A.P.D. only beat Rodney King a little bit! Okay...so the place isn't a mansion, but it is pretty swank. The best part is how they have next to no furniture BUT Chad DOES have this INSANE plasma T.V.

As parties with this group of people go, this one featured very few evil shenanigans. But oh what shenanigans they were! Things really ramped up and got out of control long after midnight when most people had gone home!

1. Beer pong, no...not the "cup-in-diamond-formation", but rather the kind you saw on Beer Fest was a staple. Only instead of cups of beer we had cups of Rum and Hawaiian punch. Ugh


Despite what the movies may have you believe, it is IMPOSSIBLE to "sink and drink" the ping pong ball. Instead, we had a rule that if you knocked over a cup of booze you had to down the entire OTHER cup of booze in one shot. I made the fatal mistake of doing it once. So did Sanchu and Turkey. Chad -- that poor bastard -- had to do it TWICE. (I have video of Chad knocking over the cup -- if I can ever figure out the software to my new digi camcorder I'll post it to this blog).

Even Kei and Wei got in the action. Now, the Quasars are provincial ping-pong champs (and, yes, for those that don't know they ARE Asian which explains why they are sooooo good at it). But when they were pissed, they were no better than we were.

A great moment from the evening occurred when Absy showed up. Either Moose or Sanchu (really, I can't remember who but probably it was Moose) asked something to the effect of "Hey Absy...I hear your girl friend has sweet fake tits". Kevin just about DIED.

2. Naturally I was drunker than a Lord. Here are some celebratory shots of me with the nearly empty Texas Mickey.

3. We all know that on New Year's you get a kiss from your special someone. Here is Moose and Sanchu making out. I didn't even know that sexy was gone until these two brought it back!

4. And the coupe du force was this 3:00 streak session by Chad and Moose. As they peeled out in the darkness (me following with camera and sanchu following with video), I heard Robin call out "Am I REALLY married to this guy?".

In the end, who won the bout between man and insane bottle of booze? Well, consider that before I went to bed I phoned Jody and left a message on his answering machine where I sang to him "I Saw Red" by Warrant. As Jody would recant the next day, I even hit the high notes.

Thus, I think clearly you can tell that it was us.
