What is 518

Starting with Stevo's infamous email which started it all here is all the correspondences that took place

Howdy Boys-

As you have probably already realized, we have reached
another date of infamy.  May 18th 2005, also known as
5/18.  I love this day.  I'm going home and cracking
open a Natty Light to celebrate the occasion.

Also, do you think it's a coincidence that the year's
biggest movie is opening at midnight on 5/18?  I don't
think so.  It must be an omen.

See you in approximately 264 hours.  Memorial Day. 
Sunny Mansfield.  Bean Bags.  Eating.  Drinking. 
Being merry.  Fire.

mmmmmmmhmmmmbye

Lucas is all too aware of the power known as 518....... He might as well called this movie "Revenge of Leroy" -Gless Vader

Hey guyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!, Top Ten things I will do on 5/18 to remember 518

7. Borrow somebodys car without telling them and having them see me drive it without their consent (Mav)

3. Watch clips of Dumb and Dumber, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and watch the Shanshank Redemption for the 537th time. (Thats more than the total number of home runs for Mickey Mantle's entire career) while I down another Natural Ice!!

2. Call Pizdanellos, order food and hear them say.... "Where the hell have you guys been? We thought we lost you as customers forever" (P.S. I took a trip to see my friends new baby and while in BG I had Pizdanellos....AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!)

1. As we do gay shit I have to hear Terri say "STOP" and watch Kim and Audrey roll their eyes because we are doing GAY SHIT AGAIN!!

Other ones to consider: Have Mike rattle off ever Raider who ever wore #72 (big freakin deal)

Eat one of Matt's Hot Peppers and have someone take pictures so I can relive the time that I still had an esogphaus

Live again by the old George slogan from Seinfeld, which was adopted by 518 "We don't care and it shows!"

At lunch time watch sportscenter with Stevo as he eats Subway, Tough guy Nugs or Mac and Cheese before returning to Elder Beerman

Talk with Matt about some famous toys that we used to play with as kids, like Optiumus Prime or Cobra Commmander. "Remember that?" "Heck yea!"

Sit on the porch, drink and wonder what the fuck are we going to do with our lives and after a few moments of reflection hear Gless say "I need another Amber Bock!!"

Eat my meal while I look at a dirty, disgusting floor or hear a couple talk while they shower together while I down my tough guy burger

Look at Mavs shelf and see Noodles, Peanut butter, and some candy assortment and thats it Ponder our lives again and realize, it doesn't matter when I go to bed, I have no one to answer to, I have hardly no bills to pay...fuck it I'm sleeping in until the crack of NOON!!

Laugh when Gless tells us the story about how he found gay porn on his computer and how he got back and Dan Holmes for it by rubbing his Cd's on the table and scratching them beyond their playing ability

See Terri with her arms crossed, with a smile of astonishment on her face at our imaturities

Cook a ton of burgers, hot dogs and so forth on the grill but make sure that Kim gets her classic chicken

Ponder one of the greatest parties of all time, Audrey was there "Your beer looks empty, let me get you another!"

Ponder the following: How in the heck did Mike come up with all this stuff...he has way too much time on his hands! Did I mention in MVP 2005 I held Manny Rameriez in 6 games to 2 for 20 with no homeruns 3 strikeouts and just 1 RBI?

Wish I was back at 518 which is best played out in the following equation No worries + Great Moments + Memorable Friends = I hope that you had the time of your life!

Mike, That was fantastic, I think a had a good chuckle at most of the stuff you had listed here and I couldn't believe how much I actually started missing that run down old dump. -Gless

Another Kudos to Mikey for a great message! I too had a mighty giant grin and wished we were all back together in that place they called a house where human pigs lived! (although it might be a little more croweded). I'm picturing Schrems sitting on the couch with a tv tray full of Mickey D's and the new 64oz bottle of katsup leaning back, placing his hands on stomach and halfway down his pants taking a Schrems Break after a heavy night of drinking at the Brat...while Stevo and I are pushing Down and C trying to score on Super Tech on the old school Sega. Gless is on the can sitting next to weapon's storage bin taking a power dump and writing his name inside the cabinet. Mikey is watching Stevo and I play Sega while naming the entire rosters on a play by play basis on the game....screaming Jeeeeeezzzzzuuuusssss Chaaaaarrrriiiist as Joe Montana throws a 110 yard pass to Jerry Rice for a TD. Matty and Aud are upstairs making their bed military style...while Kimbo and Terri are doing dishes and talking about how nasty we live and how gross the house is!

The worst part about all those stories is, you CAN'T make up that stuff!! If we were telling these stories to people that haven't seen the Wrath of 518, they wouldn't believe it. That's what made it so great. I'll add a couple memories... 1) Getting new pots and pans (at a considerable discount) because Mav left day-old burned ramen in the old pan that could not be removed with a nuclear weapon. 2) Going to see Star Wars (at Mav's request) and (of course) paying for his ticket. And finally, Cason. You forgot one minor detail of the Super Tech game. The 110 TD pass from Montana to Rice was in the 4th Quarter with no time left, to win the freaking game. I hate that game. Yet I love it.

Lets not forget, lets NOT forget, our loveable old giant downing 2 that's TWO Wendy's triple-cheese burgers with biggie fries on the "coffee table" made from half an old door while watching the behind-the-scenes biography of All in the Family and Journey-behind the music for the 40th time. All this could be observed while Matty is mopping the floor after a 518 Super-kegger and watching all my mop water collect in a puddle behind the fridge. Lt.

Here's another one for the books... We need to document our brilliant strategy to minimize kegger free-loaders at the 518 parties. The idea was to get a beer we all like, but freshmen frat boys would not. When these a-holes would get their lips around a glass of Killian's instead of the Bud Light, Budweiser, Natty Light, or Beast they were used to - they immediately left. Hence, more beer for 518 members. The only problem was that this strategy often backfired, leaving Matty to be awake at 4:30 am trying to finish the 1/2 keg of beer that was left.
