Kim and I are coming back to the motel suite Friday night at Blade. When we drive up, we see that the door to the suite next to ours is open and several college age kids are hanging out drinking. We have to walk through the group to get to our door. I go first, and one of them says something like, "sir, are you going to bed now?" I say yes, and another says, "I hope ya'll aren't light sleepers." They seem like a good-natured bunch, so I tell them that we'll manage, go ahead and have a good time. However, Kim, who is trailing me on the walker, kinda rolls her eyes and says, "If I were ya'll I would hold it down." This is funny to me. In her teen years, Kim would have made a point of being the biggest hell-raiser of the bunch.

So we go to bed. No noise. Nothing. I do hear some of them talking in normal tones in the parking lot when I make my mandatory middle-of-the-night trip to the head.

Next morning, no mess, no empty bottles lying around.

Maybe they thought that Kim was trying to warn them about me. Maybe they "made" the SIG .45 in the Wilderness Safepacker slung over my shoulder. Or maybe thay were just an unusually polite, considerate bunch of kids. One conclusion is unavoidable, however.

They will never make it as Busse Hogs!
 
Ha..it is funny how things change. I was a larrikan myself in my teenage years..burnouts, drinking, fighting and all the rest. Now if I hear a car screech in the street I get annoyed. The other night I went up to the video shop and there were some kids there. To describe myself without blowing smoke up my tail, I am thick set, shaved head, goatee beard, some tatts and had a flanno on. Anyway these kids come up and asked me to buy them some booze. I laughed and said forget it. And one of the kids goes "c'mon mate..don't you remember when you were our age?"....hahaha...I am only 30..ofcourse I bloody remember. I refused again and they wished me a good night. As I was leaving they came up and told me someone other dope had supplied them anyway..what can you do.
 

Well I don’t know about them not being HOG Material:confused: :confused:.

I was a very polite kid and would have been considered a model child. Because of that I got away with murder! My parents trusted me and I had a very very long leash. If I was going to stay out all night all I had to do was let them know I was OK and wouldn't be home. But they were use to me being out overnight from about age 16 because I'd travel to Jr. golf tournaments. That M.O. still serves me well:thumbup: :cool: :thumbup:




 
Sounds like Kim handled that very well.

Also, those kids were not nearly as bad as they could have been!
You got off easy:)

We know better now and will be ready for you at Blade next year!!! :eek:
 
I'm almost half way through college :p, am 21, love to have a good time and can go hard all the way til sunrise. I look menacing (or so I've been told) and am not one to mess with but am outgoing and friendly otherwise. All my friends and family are the same way. When we party we do it right. I've got a trained liver. It can play dead too :). I don't know how any group of people my age could keep it down in that kind of situation. There's a certain level of required noise...if you can't retain that level it's like drinking jack and coffee while studying in the library: Yeah you get a nice buzz, but not much fun! They must have been cowed by your wife!!

It was the BEST on St. Patties day when my buddy had a party at his house over by SDSU and the elderly lady from next door came over with her 50 year old son and started drinking and laughing with us. She could hold her own for a 70-80 year old! People just started wandering in from the neighborhood and before long it was HUGE!! We killed 4 kegs of green guiness, several gallons of whiskey and about all the green grass in the yard :D. There wasn't anyone left to call the police with a noise complaint because they were all partying with us. THAT's how you do it :D. Nothing like good drinks with good peoples!

Now that is awesome! That is the sort of party I would like to be at, especially on St Pat's Day...."When Irish Eyes Are Smiling...ladeda ladeda" :p
 
Dought it was the sight of the Sig....more like your 6'8' frame was enough after hearing what Kim said.

Then again they may have been very respectfull anyway regarding the noise,
Still alot of fine Kids around.. and who knows, one could be a HOG one day
 
Ha Ha,
They probable thought you were an off duty cop and they had underage drinkers

Yeah, you could pretty much pick out the Busse table by sighting on MikeH's head. A quick triangulation with the concession stand in the back, and it was impossible to get lost in there. Weren't all of you using a topo map and compass? :D

And I thought I was the only one packing at Blade. :D
 
Me personally,

If a girl with a walker tells me that I had ought to keep it down, I might just follow her advice. After all who knows what happened to her. That and the 6'8" dude who "seems like a nice guy". I'd find somewhere else to party.
 
Hogs, Shmogs? Real Hogs would have said stay out and talk and drink with us a while.

But I wouldn't know as my wife made me go to bed early every night.

I knew it! You took a nap from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and then come out didn't you?;)
