In HS senior year, football we were going to South Tahoe
couple hrs ride from Shingle Springs Ca.
it started snowing really bad, got there they had cancelled it
this was fall of 1976, nobody had cell phones or even invented etc.
to notify us...
One of the star RBs JK, & his best buddy D. Dewater (linebacker)
was daring him, goading him
JK was saying he'll do a dare if everyone on the bus
put in a $1, he'd match it, if he didn't do it or something like that
(he was from ElDorado Hills a ritzy area, back then, his family was old money)
Trying to come up with something good,
better than mooning cars going by or flashing them...
We dared him
to drink what everyone was spitting chew into
a bunch of us ol' hick school-hick jocks,
what we were called "goat ropers" Me, John W., Rocco, all the guys
that chewed tobacco/'ag class guys', mountain boys usually too
like 8 of us were chewing, Copenhagen, Skoal, Red Man gross leaf stuff
or me chewing Kodiak
all the guys including me, that lived upcountry
in the Garden Valley/Georgetown area
gathered a bottle & consolidated all of it, in the spittoon/16 oz bottle 75% full...
We never figured he'd do it, he'd back out...
Gave him a bunch of crap too...
Took him a while to get up the nerve or the stomach in this case...
JK (J. Kline) stepped up & drank it, didn't finish it & then downed the rest
on a second attempt...
I don't remember if he swallowed, I was gagging so damn bad,
grossed out...
1/2 the bus was puking or gagging, dry heaving out the window
the inside isle guys climbing over the window seats guys...
Snowing like a mo-fo, snow coming into the bus freezing cold
didn't care, if we weren't gagging we were laughing like crazy...
It was gross & at the same time one of the funniest things I ever saw...
too bad cell phones were around/invented yet & had video of it
We never ever, let him live that down...
JK will drink anything or doing anything for $43 bucks...
Poor Dewater was sitting right next to him saw the whole thing 1st hand...
I think he puked on JK too...
Coaches all just snickered, said settle down guys...
I haven't seen Dewater (great wrestler too) or JK in 30+ almost 40 years now
last time was at a HS reunion before JK moved to Australia, to teach Karate...
But still makes me laugh thinking about that day, the scene, Funny but gross...
