CHEAP CRAP WE DRANK GROWING UP + One funny story to go with it.

[Cajunrph]

Mad Dog 20/20, the story is from pharmacy school. I think it was homecoming weekend. It was our second year in pharmacy school and we were on the downward slope to graduation. A group of us went to the game and my best friend and best man at my wedding a few years later decided to drink some Mad Dog. He killed off at least one bottle and got sicker than a dog. A mad dog to be precise. He threw up all over his room. Our dorms were suites where two dorms shared a bathroom. That semester they didn't have any suitemates. His roommate, who was unaware of his condition, comes back later in the night. Takes one step in and steps in puke. There was an AC unit in the front of the dorm room and an L-shaped built-in desk. His roommate decides to use the AC to get to the desk so he can make passage to his bed, thinking it was safe. He makes it to his bed and lays his head down into, you guessed it, Mad Dog-induced puke. So Bill, the roommate says screw it and goes to the unoccupied suite to sleep. Mind you he didn't see Michael, aka Mad Dog, in their room. There he found Mad Dog Michael sleeping soundly. To his credit, he didn't rip his ass out of bed and beat him like a drum. Nope, Bill was a good friend and just let Mike sleep it off. That's only part of the story. From that point forward everyone called Mike Mad Dog. Mike worked weekends at a local pharmacy with the Professor of our Antibiotics class we were taking that semester. The professor heard us calling him Mad Dog and asked him why. After the story was spilled out the Professor instituted "Mad Dog picks" every Friday where Mike would have to stand up in class and pick the upcoming football game-winners. The class had about 300 students. That is the legend of Mad Dog at Northeast Louisiana University School of Pharmacy circa 1989.
