I survived the 7th annual college roommate camping trip this weekend! It was great to see everyone and just relax for a couple days. I haven’t been water skiing in probably 10 years or so, but I decided to try it again. I got up ok, but then became cocky and tried dropping one ski. Doing a face plant at say 20 or 30mph with one eye open isn’t cool. That and the fact that my arms were killing me, pretty much ended my water skiing adventure. Other than that there wasn’t much out of the ordinary; drinking, and eating a lot of greasy food cooked on the fire. Check out the pictures

I had such a great time writing my recent entry on my college years at Alfred State that I decided to keep the stories coming and start a new “College Story” section here at brettdriscoll.com. These stories will either involve actual events that happened on campus or the yearly camping trips my roommates and I still go on. So here it is College Story #2:
I will start by telling you a little bit about each one of my five roommates. I am not going to tell you there last names, because we did some crazy shit, and I don’t want to blow anyone in lol. First off, is Ben W. Ben is one of those kids from the sticks that know how to fix or build anything with their bare hands. He could build you a compact car out of some toothpicks, duct tape, a lawnmower engine, beer cans, and some bicycle tires. We had a bar in our row house that Ben made from old an old dock and trees he had cut down! Ben also liked to drink Milwaukee’s Best a.k.a. “Beast” and of course PBR. He kept every “beast” bottle cap he drank for two years and hot-glued them to a 4′x2′ dry-erase board (don’t ask me why). Then there is Bill, Bill was the kid that stayed at Alfred 4 years to obtain his associates degree, and now makes more money than I do! Go figure? Bill a.k.a. Chattin Stratton (oops), who by the way obtained the nick name from his superior Instant Messaging skills. He couldn’t pass Trig but boy could the kid talk to 8 different chicks online at the same time and keep them all straight. Bill was the prankster of the group, the one that drank the most, the one that puked the loudest, and the one who would have sex with anything that could fog a mirror. Sorry bill but you know it’s true! But Bill is a good man, he once took one for the team and engaged in relations with our RA (who was about 300 bills) just so we could get out of some trouble. Tim a.k.a. “Ranger Timmy” was the tall skinny kid of the group, with the serious girlfriend (that of course we gave him shit over every time the phone rang). He like bill was also a prankster but had much higher standards when it came to women………wait I take that back. Tim probably still holds the record for having the highest phone bill on campus. Tim was also a dedicated hunter and watched Monster Bucks 5 like the rest of us watched Bill’s porn collection. Next up is Ben H; Ben was the typical non drinker when he showed up to college. Not as experienced in the alcohol consumption dept as the rest of us, Ben quickly learned from the pros, and graduated from Woodchuck Hard Cider and wine coolers to drinking beer. I know it was a long hard battle Ben, but you have arrived and your parents would be proud. I have personally seen Ben puke after drinking one beer, and then chase it down with half a bottle of Kaopeptate. And last but not least was Scott a.k.a. Guss. Scott was the quiet reserved kid almost from the New York State - Pennsylvania border, that you don’t want to ever piss off. Guss has the largest head I have ever seen on a human being! Gussdog had the luxury of sharing a room with Chattin Stratton, and personally viewed first hand many of Stratton’s sexual escapades. You all know me, so I’m not going to go into details about myself lol. Now that you know the story behind the roommates, you will understand the stories that are about to unfold. Stay tuned for the next episode!

Well its about that time, we are planning our annual camping trip to Redfield. 3 full days off beer and food! I can’t believe this will be our 6th time out there! For those of you who don’t know I go camping every June with my 5 roomates from college. Hopefully this year I will be able to take some pictures!
