well upon going through the thread i see that 100 shots in 100 minutes goes by a few different names.

severin

We once did a "double power hour" of one bong hit and one shot of beer every minute for an hour. I was the only one who made it. There is no way I could take 60 bong hits in a row anymore, but it was a good time nonetheless. If anyone wants to try it, make sure you don't use a glass piece, we knocked our plastic piece of crap apparatus over like 5 times during the hour.

Hehehe Tsin, in the mall isn't too bad. Wow I haven't been over to Coventry for so long that I didn't even know they had a chinese food place. Willington pizza is good, though once you've had italian from the south end of Hartford, nothing out here tastes as good. There a new place on 195, Romas they're not bad for italian food either. If Paul Newman was smart he'd open a restuarant out here, not like theres much competition.

I'd say Cornell is just the most depressed Ivy (bridge jumping? wha?) And although we do get our share here, I think the hippies at Brown probably score more action than anybody else.

Maybe. I guess it could be those unisex bathrooms. Still, Keggy? That's hysterical. What happened to the DartMoose? Hunting trip gone bad?

kunkApe The article mentions a substance abuse foundation which he founded. I think that suggests he would dissapprove of this event, if in fact he is aware of it.

Well, it was certainly nice talking to Farkers in this neck of the woods. And to think Paul Newman started it all!
Whether you guys call it Spring weekend, Newman Binge Day or something else, have fun and be safe!


/out of here for the night.

I went to school at Bates College in lovely Lewiston, Maine where Newman Day has been a tradition for well over 15 years

a buddy of mine passed it along to some princeton friends one summer and it apparently has taken off there as well :)

I have so many fond memories of that day... freshman year for example, started way too fast, puked at about 1pm (which makes you ineligible), napped, then rallyed with some bong loads and finished my case well before midnight, and had some extra "nightcaps" to boot, in the form of cold coors lights

not only do you have to go to all your classes, but you are supposed to have your first beer in the shower (to avoid people drinking late night the night before and counting them)

it was funny sometimes walking out of class and there were empties all over the floor

A beer an hour for 24 hours you wouldn't even be buzzed. People deserve respect if they join the century club: a drink every minute for 100 minutes. Throwing up and pissing is allowed, so long as you down the drinks =)

Penn will not only drink the other Ivies under the table, but we'll get sent to the hospital for alcohol poisoning and request IV's of jungle juice.
Newman day? Try Spring Fling where we down alcohol for 5 days straight and show up to class WASTED for 2 days.

Maybe Newman can sell this product. It'll take care of those Princeton drunkards.

pussy ivy leaguers... where im from it's called a case race, and you have 12 hours.... and we all do it.

I went to Clark U., the drinking holiday there is called Spree Day - coincidentally I got an email for the alumni saying that it is today.

One year they had the Psychedelic Furs play - way past their prime, and they wouldn't play "Pretty In Pink," so the kids in the front starting throwing beer bottles at them. They called us names and left the stage.

Hope you Clarkies are having fun. Let's be careful out there.

I went to Newman's Alma Mater, Kenyon College, and we had the first annual Newman day here. I participated and completed it with ease, and felt peachy the next day. It's nothing special. I might do it next year. Having a beer in physics class was interesting, and the work I did for my english class the next day earned me the best grade that I had ever gotten from my professor.

Are you a Kenyon-er right now Velociti? Even tho I graduated, I still visit Kenyon every weekend (my girlfriend's a senior).

24 beers in24 hours isn't all that bad. I can drink three or four with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That's 9-12 right there with three meals.

Wussboys. Here at the University of British Columbia, us engineers do almost double that in half the time. 40 beers, 12 hours. And our beer is Canadian!

We are, we are, we are the engineers!
We can, we can, demolish 40 beers!
Drink rum, drink rum, drink rum and follow us!
For we don't give a damn about any old man who don't give a damn about us!

/yes, I'm an engineering student

That'd be stolen from the MIT drinking song, my friend. We at MIT outdo those pansy state-schoolers any Friday of the year. Nothing erases a hard week of thermodynamics like a handle of rum.

An appropriate sample verse:

"...Princeton's run by Wellesley, and Wellesley's run by Yale.
And Yale is run by Vassar, and Vassar's run by tail.
Harvard's run by stiff pricks, the kind you raise by hand,
But Tech is run by Engineers, the finest in the land."

datdamonfoo-

i do. does your girlfriend happen to be a Zeta named Kate Whitcomb? And might you be Tyler Perfect?

Anyway. It's not hard, even for someone my size (130 pounds). A better challenge might have been 36, though that would be on the very edge of my capacity for alcohol I think...

Here's a handy mad-lib for those of you wanting to prove your manliness but don't have the time to sound tough. Cut and paste.

Man, I'm so damned cool and you are all pussies. Back in my day (insert time period here), we had something called the (insert tough event name here). You had to drink (insert large number here. Recommend higher than 50) of (circle one: Beer/Shot(s)) in (insert hours here).

Us (insert college here) could outdrink ANY of those pussies from (insert rival college here). And we SURE as hell could outdrink those weenerless biatches from (insert country name here).

You aren't a real man unless you've managed to down (circle: 20/40/60) shots of (insert "hardcore" liquor here). Don't even try to step. Pussies.

Oh, how could I forget the mandatory:

/(choose one: Downed a keg/Puked up a storm/Downed a case) in (circle: 2/3/5 Minutes) Pussies.

Velociti, uhm..nope that's not me.
My name is Damon. Hence datdamonfoo...

Sorry. i know a guy who was a soccer player who comes back to visit his gf every weekend like you do. I also read your name as dat da mon foo. silly me. regardless, it's good to know.

Hes whining about 1 beer an hour? Thats exactly as much as your liver can process. how the hell are you going to get drunk at that pace 24 beers in 8 hours, now thats more like a challenge.

last name Ryde?

(in comic book villan aside) At last I have found my old foe. :)

DANDELION DAY, YO!

/University of Rochester, REPRESENT

Newman!

Newman!

/Hello, Jerry

Yeah Bates.

On more than one occasion I saw a sunglass wearing, baseball capped Paul Newman come out of a certain liquor store in Sherman Oaks with a bottle-shaped brown bag. I'm pretty sure that farkin lush was Newman.
