#18 - Dancing on Stalls - 1984
Luis and I were roomie's in the dorms our Sophomore year. We threw some pretty damn fun parties. This is one of them.
It started out innocently enough with about 8-10 people playing quarters, but it grew and grew and eventually an uncountable mass of humanity spilled into the halls of the dormitory and took on a life of it's own. Repeated warnings from the RA's could not stop the party so they eventually gave up and joined in on the fun. Rob Yolland attended the party, as well as the usual cast of Aggie characters. The party went into the night, and as dorm parties were wont to do pretty much everyone ended up trashed.
I eventually left the party and wandered down the hall to my girlfriends room where we were in the middle of a nice little drunken make out session when "BANG BANG BANG" there was a pounding on the door. I leapt to my feet and opened the door. Standing there swaying with massive smiles on their face, in fact they were both beaming with pride, were Jeff and Rob. Rob exclaimed "Phil, you're going to be so proud of us!" I asked why. Rob, with such pride in his voice said "We ripped out the stalls in the bathroom, just like you would."
So I wandered down the hall to where the party was still raging. Jeff and Rob elbowed their way into my room and pointed to the bathroom stall walls that were now on my floor. Jeff and Rob in a state of pure joy leapt onto them and started dancing, dancing, dancing.
I figured what the heck and joined in. A while later Rob, Jeff, Luis and others for some reason started to throw the beer bottles out of the dorm room window and onto the grass outside. Fortunately they were not breaking but this put the RA's over the top. They sent us down to pick up the bottles. While we were their Rob and Luis decided to try to make a human tank track where you hold each others ankles and roll along the ground. Well Rob's 6'4" and Luis is 5'7", the height difference caused Luis' face to be rammed into the ground opening a large cut over his eye. We returned upstairs and Rob had his infamous spat of picking up people in joy and throwing them around the room eventually leading to the immortal line "I'm hurting people".
The party ended eventually. Luis and I were sent to the student judicial board, which was 6 students and one UC Davis professor. Luis was great. Here was a bunch of pompous, arrogant students that instead of enjoying college life decided they should sit in judgement over their fellow students. And Luis told them just that. They began to talk and read the charges against us. Luis stood up and told them to get a life, have some fun, and that they were pathetic thinking they could sit in judgement on us. We then both stormed out of the proceedings. The professor came after us, told us to pay the damages and try to be more discrete.
We did pay the damages, Discretion on the other hand...
