"Paradise Alley's Clam Bake 2002"
(09/29/02)
With all members of the
Paradise drinkin squad accounted
for, it was time to start getting serious.:

Rally Caps!!:

Only two things were important on that mild Sunday afternoon.:

Eat as many clams as humanly possible...:

and secondly, suck the kegs dry!:

"Guys, I can't drink too much today, I've got allergies.":

Discussing clam to beer ratio strategies.:

We had strong support from the east-side of the bar.:

Make
no mistake, seated directly across from
the taps was all part of the game plan.:

Red showing signs our plan was working.:

Field trip for this weeks AA meeting.:

Best service in town!:

Eight dozen and going strong!!:

At the exact second the Bills scored the winning touchdown.:

Bills fans... sort of.:

Red workin his game over yonder.:

Fuckin Nick and his bull's-eyes pissing me off.:

I think the clams are still crawling around in my stomach.:

So, any luck over there Red?:

The man with the game.:

Al, the hat is a definite power move.:

Nick: "...so I was standing right here like this and...":

Some day your face is gonna stay like that.:

Clam's-eye-view.:

Keep it up Cash.:

There are no victims of spilled beer, when it's FREE.:

Only two more hours to go.:

"On second thought, I think I'm ready to pass out.":

And then there were three.:

The twelfth clam of his twenty-seventh dozen... no shit!:

"All drunks please exit through the lower level doors.":

Who's yackin all over Monroe Ave?...:

"THIS GUY!":

Al, looks like you didn't chew that one, that doesn't count.:

The search for a bar open till two on Sunday ended at ACME.:

As if
the dozens and dozens of clams weren't enough, we
each threw down a slice of ACME's finest plain cheese
and stumbled back to our respective residences.:

Ouch.
