I played rugby in college, and - surprise! - we liked to drink after games, oftentimes with the other team if they weren't shitty people. The first game of the fall was always an out of conference game against a nearby school with whom we'd always had an informal, friendly rivalry, and after every game the home team would host a drink up at a team members house.
This year, in addition to the entirety of both teams, other parties present included the female ref (an alum of my school), the coaches of the other team, as well as their club's faculty liason, a rugby alum easily in his 60s.
The pub (as we called these events) was going extremely well. We sang rugby/drinking songs, exchanging new, hilarious lines with each other, including a few particularly raunchy lines from the old boy of the group. Pong was played, boat races were conducted (with my school coming away the victor each time), and an all around great time was had.
About an hour and a half into the party we decide to pit our best-drinking freshman vs. their best-drinking freshman in a thunderdome, a 1v1 contest of drinking fortitude in which each contestant drinks full-beer cups as fast as they can. A winner is crowned if they are three full beers ahead of their opponent; a contestant is disqualified if they vomit.
We take the party outside for this event (for obvious precautionary reasons), and our side wins. We are the proud victors on the pitch and in the pub this day. We are the alphas; the uber-ruggers. We have fully demonstrated our superiority in all facets of collegiate life to our hapless, pathetic opponents. The party remains outside, with lawn games being played, outdoor pong, more thunderdomes ("for fun", because we're savages), etc.
Now, the location for these festivities was a three-story house with an outdoor staircase in the back with decks built on each successive roof. The house was just outside the center of town, with one side of the yard adjacent to a parking lot, and houses on the other side.
With that in mind, here we all are, shithoused, in the middle of watching another thunderdome, when the entire party is doused with a warm liquid. Splashing us with warm water as a prank? Hmm, wouldn't be a very good one. Is it piss?
Doesn't smell like it, and that's a level we wouldn't stoop to. Then I look at my shoulder and see a fucking. ramen. noodle. Stunned, my eyes return to the rest of the party, similarly covered in curly, stringy noodles and a slightly-red liquid, and we all come to the same conclusion at the same time.
It was fucking vomit. Pandemonium erupts. I have never and likely will never see a scene like the one I saw then. Everyone was howling in rage, shock, horror. Everyone starts sprinting around the property like a bunch of chickens who saw a world-ending fireball fill the sky at the same moment their heads were removed from their bodies. Some players start vomiting in response.
Some are rolling on the ground, at turns trying to rub the vomit in the grass and laughing hysterically. Most of us start stripping off our clothes. The coaches/faculty have already booked it to their cars. I stood in line with about 20 other players waiting to rinse my arms and face off in the kitchen sink.
The ref is the only non student who is still around, and our captains are apologizing profusely to her, even as we all try to process what just happened. By the time I got back outside, everyone from the other team has dispersed, and one of our senior players + residents of the house had descended from the third floor to give us the details.
Thunderdome loser feels ill. He goes to 3rd floor to escape the party and settle down. He eats some food. He vomits into bag. Residents decide easiest mode of disposal is to fling the bag sidearm, from the 3rd floor deck, into the adjacent parking lot, where a dumpster was conveniently located, lid open.
Said bag rips apart and flings contents all over unsuspecting drunk college kids. If telling the story of the vom-bomb is wrong, I don't want to be right.
