Dickie Hughes to the list of humanity in the pile. The person who was being mounted was nicknamed Goonie Fucker. He flunked out at the end of freshman year.
We MUST know each other, and you are correct, Dick was in there as well. It absolutely was Goonyfucker aka Tom Goonen, the Hughes's roommate. The Hughes brothers also tore Goonyfucker's couch apart and threw it piece by piece through the transom, and if I remember right once threw his mattress out the window.
Are you class of '79?
Absolutely class of '79. Got kicked out of St. Ed's at the end of first semester of my freshmen year. Could not believe my good fortune when they put me in Dillon. Lived with Laimbeer, Flowers and Noodles the remainder of freshmen year.
Remember when Ernie and Dickie tied up Goonie fucker and started pulling his chest hairs? They made him guess odd or even number of hairs. When he got it wrong, they pulled more hair. When he finally got it right (after all he had a 50/50 chance) they had him guess the total number of hairs.
I am sure we know each other. give me your email address so we can confirm. Whoever you are, hope all is well and GO BIG RED!
Raz, how the hell are ya? I lived next door to you in St. Ed's, came to Dillon same time you did, so you now know exactly who I am. My email is sprack@earthlink.net.
For some odd reason, I have no idea why, I thought it was you all along.
The chest hair story! I forgot about that, a classic.
Another Gooniefucker story - Dick and Ernie told him that if he slapped his hand on top of a full bottle of Coke that the bottom of the Coke bottle would come off. They told him to try it over the sink, so the Coke wouldn't get all over the floor. Legendary dumbshit that he was, he tried it, the bottle went through his hand and it crashed through the sink, leaving a huge hole.
Dick told me once that the entire time he lived with him, he never once saw Gooniefucker brush his teeth.
Ah, the inimitable Lame Brain. Went from being the most disliked guy at ND to being the most disliked guy in the NBA, but had one hell of an outside shot for a big man.
and I think that you're maligning sandpaper by making that comparison. I remember seeing Laimbeer at a craps table at Mardi Gras making table limit bets (they had a $5 limit) and appearing to have the time of his life. It's about the only time I ever saw the guy smiling.
