Flashback Friday (part 29) - Beer-decathalon

August 21, 2009

Before Tim and I got married in Jamaica, we lived with The Neighbors in what was universally referred to as The Frat House for two months as we were transitioning between our condo and our new house.

As I have referenced before as Mens' Bowling Night, the household consisted of Tim and I, Caroline and Chris, Eddie his wife Kat and Steve and four dogs. Everyone in the previous sentence has either been in the military or still is except for me, Kat and the dogs.Beer-decathalon with the Neighbors

There were a lot of shennanigans going on in the house because of our ages and lack of responsibility besides the dogs. No one had kids yet. Besides Steve, everyone got married in 2003.

Someone came up with the idea the year before to have a Beer-decathalon. A series of 10 games that we all made up and agreed on before starting to see who could win. Most of them did involve drinking beer but some were just for fun.


Steve took the competition very seriously and dressed for success. He heckled the dogs before starting.

Some events included a HORSE in basketball, chug a beer through a straw, bobbing for lemons out of the hot tub, a dice game, cards and a few other random things.

It was great fun and we haven't done it since.

Now it's your turn. Find an old picture and share a story about it or why you wanted to share it now. Flashback Friday has no real rules other than to have fun. Please share the link to your actual post and not main blog below for others to find you. If you'd like the button, here's the code to include.

I'm running short on time this morning, or I'd dig a picture up. I may later. Your story and pictures are great. I love it when people can have fun and not worry about being taken too seriously.

Is it bad that I JUST went to one of these?

...and won.

LOL at those pictures. Similar to old workout shows in the 80's on Tv. Beer-decathalon seems super fun. I wish I had a group of friends to do stuff like that with. Maybe you should all get back together and do it again. Make it an annual event. Take care.

Hilarious pictures! I admire that you can look back and think fondly of your past, especially since many people try their best to forget it all.

Here's my Flashback Friday for today. Better late than never, right? =)

Bossy is laughing too hard at the idea of booze decathalons to add anything else.
