re: funniest thing you've ever seen tailgaitin' at tiger stadium

I believe it was homecoming '04.

My brother got completely hammered before the game. He had no intention of getting so drunk but he was busting his arse at LSU med school and hadn't had any fun time for himself in months. So he ended up getting way more intoxicated than he had intended.

About 5 minutes after kick off, I went to the restroom. When I got back to my seat, my brother was gone. After several minutes when he had not returned, I started to get worried, because I knew he was really drunk. After several attempts to call him (I can never get a signal in Tiger Stadium) I went looking for him.

I started to grow more anxious when I couldn't find him anywhere. So I went back to our tailgate area. I spent the rest of the game walking around campus, visiting areas where he could have been. My brother has a history of doing really stupid shite when he gets that drunk, so I was even more worried when he was still missing at midnight, hours after the game had ended.

I had even called the local emergency rooms and jails looking for him. I'm his big brother by 2 years and have always worried about him.

About 1:30 a cop car pulls up to my truck, where I am standing, sick to my stomach with worry. My brother is riding in the passenger seat next to the cop. My brother opens the door, staggers out, and gets in my truck without saying a word. The cop drives away laughing his arse off, but not before telling me they found him asleep in a port-a-potty, where apparently he had spent the last 6+ hours.

I have made fun of my brother about that for years, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

He's a doctor now, doesn't that make you all feel better?
