Who hasn't gone on a four day bender in Nairobi?

The still hammered Nelson Newberry with his very relieved father.

Looks like he got a pop in the eye to boot.

“My name is is Nelson...”

4 day bender and only one lumped up eye in Africa is winning.
He must have tiger’s blood and Adonis DNA...

I can’t imagine how much he drank in 4 days. The last time I was to Wales, I managed 5 pints on a pub crawl. I was maybe 130lbs at the time, so that was an impressive amount of grog for a small guy like me.

How many points should be deducted for wearing a shirt that says “Dior”?

Probably a girl gave it to him. She wears only Dior.

I’m reminded of the drunk in MASH that nobody knew who he was. When he sobered up they learned he was supposed to be Hawaii but his buddies shipped him to Korea.

A Brit? A pub would be the first place to look.

After she took off her shirt and gave it to him, she had to go get another one...

After all, back in the day, if a girl took off her shirt for me, I'd sure enough wear it.

Has there ever been a more consummately British name than, “Nelson Newberry”? I’m opening the floor to wagers on his middle name with $1.00 on, “Dudley.”

This could never happen to me. My wife knows me too well. She would have found me on the first day and pulled me out of there.

That’s nothing for a “pro drinker”.

Try a 750 of Jack and a six pack.

-This is not recommended, nor should it ever be done in public
Back in the day - mainly muscular Irish and 233 lbs.

I think he earns points for wearing it and not dying.

I wonder if his dad gave him the black eye...

I believe there may be a chair for him in A.A.

By the grace of God, I have been sober since 3/20/88
and never visited Kenya.

Our Scout platoon was hosted by the Aufklarung or reconnaissance detachment of our German freundschaft unit, the 56th PzGdr Bn for a week long visit at their kaserne.

One of the highlights of the visit was a feast in the woods with trestle tables set up around a roaring fire, a whole roast pig and accompanying dishes, served by waiters from their unit in mess jackets and an endless stream of German Bier from festival truck.

I lost track at around 17 liters.
The next day of course we took their PT test....
