Foosballgate

Some of my favorite memories include the controversies that arose around the house. Different 'gates' which represented the trivial scandals that found their way to chapter. Who can forget Foosballgate. The 2 man cabal (Hoff and Trae) who started pitching a foosball table to a lukewarm response at a barbecue. The next thing you know they went out and ordered the table and excitingly spread the news at chapter. Bam . . . controversy erupts. The cabal was shocked when members stood up to oppose the table.

First man up Guillama. "Why are we buying a foosball table when we are saving money to get a hot tub?"

The gallery concurred and the cabal went down in shame. This was the beginning of the downfall of the cabal. Foot soldiers were later recruited to seize the assets of the cabal. The new regime did not fall for the old 'Trae is trying to sell his housing contract' line.

I remember when he was the Great Hope for the house. The Dark Lord annointed him the future from the get go, trying to write the script for his ascention to President. But his 'Casablanca' turned out to be 'Weekend at Bernie's 2.' In the end, the old guard was defeated, and more fun was had, as booze flowed sans beer tickets and slightly better looking girls emerged.
