that participated in the Elephant Walks on top of the bar at Corbys.
An Elephant Walk made popular by the ND Rugby Club entailed being naked bending
over and holding the "trunk" of the guy in front of you. Made an especially
big impression with the SMC girls.


We did the elephant walk...

during our caribbean tour in 1986. We were in a jacket and tie place in Barbados and the call came. We gathered by the doors to the dining room, assembled, dropped trou, and performed the spectacle through the dining room and into the decorative wading pool and fountain and then into the casino. Most of us got arrested.

two teams (one team for ND and the visiting club) of 5 players (1 loader and 4 scorers). Two small cups placed about 20 feet away from starting line. Scorers' trousers dropped to ankle level. Quarters loaded between posterior cheeks of scorers, who then waddled down to the cup to attempt a deposit. Thank God, there is no photographic evidence IRC through the fog of more than 3 decades.


Did Zahm guys volunteer to be the loader? *

No wonder that sport never caught on.

Well, maybe "caught on" isn't the best expression to use.


Wasn't the Rugby team disbanded as a result?***

The local rugby bar, which, coincidentally, is where we have our Alumni Club game watches every week. Griff told me that story himself--fun guy and a great ND fan--will occasionally buy a round for all of the ND fans after an ND win...
