And Lucy Was Born ..


With Matt moving into his new pad, it was time for that event that every mate loves, and every new resident dreads. It was time for a house warming party. The thing with house warming parties at our age, it's usually just a great excuse to get pissed and wreck stuff. This one was no exception, and I felt it was the perfect time to introduce the group to my new lady friend. Lucy.

Lucy, a petite lil bombshell at about 3 foot is quite the party animal. She normally ends up being the life of the party, and can really take stuff to a whole new level. Lucy, my dear friends, is a beer funnel. Not just any beer funnel, a beer funnel like no other. With the biggest funnel head most children have ever seen in their lives, a hose of beauty, and a shut off valve like no other, that allows you to maximize that surprise element of it all with a "woop, there goes 500ml's of beer down my throat".

Tonight was a special night for Lucy. It was her first night out,  and as such Lucy had to be a main feature of the night’s proceedings, with the first funneling sessions commencing around eight that night. Things were getting off to a good start. Soon people were swopping there brandy for beers, just to have another bash with this bad girl.

The ratings on funnel performance for members participating in the funnel are as follows:

1st. Me. Obviously, she's mine.
2nd. Craig. True champ, great speed.
3rd. Dan. Who knew those rugby fines had taught him so much.
4th. Last. Should not even be rated. Matt.

Now Matt, our host for the evening was a special case in these events. Not having used a beer funnel before, he seemed to prefer pasting himself and his clothes with half his beer instead of actually drinking it. For this performance, Matt is our ‘amateur of the day’.

A few Kings games were played, a braai that ended up turning into us sticking a woman in the kitchen to pan fry our food might have happened, and the blast from the past party spirit of Dan the man returned!!

After large amounts of alcohol and a 10.30 rush for free entry, we fell into Tiger. A pleasant reminder of the Long Islands half price special greeted us, and saying ‘no’ was just not an option. So, the drinking resumed. Many enlightening events followed, and it was quite the night to talk about.. later.. As I write this the next day, I am still drunk, barely understanding what I'm writing here.. Actually a painful read I think, but damn, my head feels like its in labor, so forgive me.

Lucy is now part of the group though, she will be the topic of many further discussions and blogs, and I'm sure you will feel you know her personally soon. Anyway, it was a great night, with a great house warming, an even greater hangover the next day, but it was all so worth it, and the legacy of Lucy was born..
