Funniest all time Belushi moment? It has to be the big wheel, though there were many.

Favorite Moon moment was when you chugged the “Vodka” and the girls were all screaming in horror to stop. The when they found out it was water I believe you not only were verbally assaulted but physically as well.

Funniest all time moment bar none?

Homecoming week-end, we were all crammed in the “Swamp” I was playing guitar and we were all singing “you really got me”. This quickly changed when Ken almost knocked the door off the hinges as well as a few people off the top bunk. I think fire was coming out of his eyes.

Gibney and I performing: “Bob White will never die” As sung to “My My, Hey Hey (Out of the blue) by Neil Young”

It is one of the above two from the “Sadler” days. Here are some more though:

The filthy message board drawing contest. Feb 22nd 1980, my 19th birthday the kamikaze party. I have never drank one since. US beat the Russians, and I also believe on this historic night Janet, I think that was her name, ran into the door chasing Romanow and knocked herself out if memory serves me correctly.

The time Gibney wrote the note about the evenings dinner to “Joe Sadler” and stuck it to the comment board by sticking his fork through the alleged “hotdog”. I believe he referred to it as “pig entrails”.

Gibney spitting what ever he last had in his mouth onto the ceiling of the elevator. The Experiment: suspecting the lack of actual cleaning of the boys bathroom. The placing of bread on the top of the “locker stalls”. The site of that bread once we took it down weeks later confirmed our fears. I guess that was not funny now was it but a memorable moment none the less.

Favorite “Establishment”? The Varsity

Did you have pets while at SU? Does the women who cleaned the bathrooms count. I guess she was more of a mascot.
