Â Gotta admit though, he was quality entertainment! I don't remember Tom ever doing anything damaging in a bus unlike the incident on Bus 2/Ogre Bus with the can of shaving cream, which Tom had nothing to with.

Well, there almost was a flood a time or two due to styrofoam coolers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzgok Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I remember one night on City Island after it had rained, McShane took his diving ability to a whole new level. Â He stripped down to his tighty whitey's and dove into a puddle in the middle of the parking lot, proceeded to swim around slowly, rolled over on his back and did a slow back stroke. Â When he stood up, that was when everyone noticed the racing stripe he had from front to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Well, it was a known thing about Styrofoam coolers and that they never held up on a bus for more than a weekend at best. People were warned, and if they didn't listen, so be it. Â Again, for anyone outside the activity reading this, Drum Corps took place during all of this. Just a rather pointed reminder that amongst all the buffoonery and goofball incidents, the Westshoremen beat everyone in DCA at least once at Finals during the 1979 to 1983 period and placed no worse than sixth (yeah, Bucs, Cabs, Sky, Empire, Sun, Hurcs, so on and so forth....). Tom could play. We all could play. We may have been a bit nuts, more then a bit dysfunctional, but we had top end talent and a lot of desire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
