Initiations Offmen Style!

Maybe Scott can chime in on this and help me out here. I can remember a few of the Offmen initiations, or as others would put it “hazings”. I remember Frank had to hit on some leggy girl that was like 400 feet tall at the Improv in his “Mongo” like way and we did the same thing to Bob, having him hit on a Denny’s waitress even though his had a different effect. I remember bits and pieces of John Klika’s hazing, which included him walking up and down Dundee Road like some maniacal street preacher. I also remember a small portion of Patrick’s: like Scott told me, we had to drag him kicking and screaming.

Actually setting aside the Founding Father’s of the Offmen themselves, everyone went through an initiation except for myself and P.J. Everyone fell victim to our unusual and cruel punishments.

It was pretty funny stuff.

I think we hazed Bob twice, poor guy the second time he ended up with hot sauce down his ass crack... Sorry Bob.

I remembered we did something to him a 2nd time because the first time he kinda failed us. I dont remember it involving hot sauce though. Did Frank have a say in that? You know...Frank and his hot sauce.

Yes Bob kept forgetting to pay his tab at Denny’s. I always felt it was just an honest mistake, but some of the guys wanted blood for his forgetfulness… We originally put him on probation for these indiscretions that were after his first initiation. Then several years later while living with each other in Palatine the group seemed to really warm up to him, and realize that he really is a great guy and defiantly an OFFMEN. Indeed his probation had lasted far to long… I think we just plain forgot that he was in fact on probation. Hence that day arrived and he received his second chance.
The hot sauce I am sorry to report was I believe entirely of my own concoction. If I remember correctly other OFFMEN had encouraged me to dream up the details for this ritual, and the hot sauce which was living in the apartment Frank and I shared seemed to be a perfectly harmless gallon of fun waiting to happen. The gallon of hot sauce in our fridge how could you forget! The same one we dared Frank to drink directly from on one occasion and then dared him again to drink am entire glass of on an other occasion. No wonder his flatulence was so out of control! Ah Frank you are the most admired of all OFFMEN.
Give me a day or so, I have photos of this even.

Now you have my mind going off in another direction. Maybe I wasnt there when it all took place. Was he initially just supposed to drink it?

I am counting the minutes until the pics go up!
