Mark your calendars boys and girls, the Annual Big House Raft Race will be
taking place this July 10th at the usual site (Chesapeake Ave, you'll know it
when you see it)! Last year, my raft came in 4th place, barely being edged
out by the third place boat at the line. The design flaw present has been
rectified and I expect to be able to be in the water in much less time, and
have more power to propel us! for insights into past years' races, click

The Oyster Incident
Hmmm, looks like a good deal to me! No, that's not a napkin between the mug
and shot glass, that's one 'lil ol' local oyster laying there, ready to choke someone
else. Of course, everyone wanted to know
what went wrong with the shooter. I had to demonstrate that it was like trying
to swallow a slimy piece of tow-strap. This thing would fill the palm of
almost any hand. Yes, in my struggle to try to get it
down (unsuccessfully, I might add), I had my sinus cavities cleaned by the
tabasco sauce that went down with most of the beer. My eyes watered and my nose
ran for a good half hour after the ordeal ended. This is me being very unamused (but only
for a moment). Yeah, that's him, behind the bar.
He's living on borrowed time right now...
Here's a shot from the 1998 Big House annual Halloween party. From left to right, you'll see a
Cereal Killer, the Cat In The Hat ("Roowwwwrrr"), and me as the King of Clubs.
Here's a shot of our 1999 Big House Halloween party costumes. On the left is a Y2K bug,
and on the right is the epitome of how surfers are viewed.
I still need to get the last two year's worth of costume pics up, but here's the 2002
images.
