My friend, Lloyd says, that the last thing he remembered (at the last one he went to) was getting hit smack between the eyes with a hard-boiled egg. I've heard rumors, that one year, they tied oysters to a string, and entertained themselves for hours swallowing them and pulling them back up. The things people do to entertain themselves........
