Not only a good idea, but these guys actually pulled off a really great prank on Harvard students. We could definitely do this next year if we really felt like it. Watch the video if you can - Gary Glitter in all his glory.
Posted by Rick at November 30, 2004 12:00 AMI see a copy cat prank @ Cameron Indoor.....road trip?
Posted by: Nate at November 30, 2004 10:41 AMIf we go to Cameron - at least 3 of us would be in jail before we got out of the car.
Good prank though, it has to be really, really hard to pull that off.
Posted by: Pat at November 30, 2004 10:50 AMYeah...if we went to Cameron, we'd make Lasick's look like a Bic lighter.
In other news, Lasick's was burned to the ground yesterday by some arsonist. The Best Western - yeah, the one I mean when I say, "make a left at the Best Western to get to my house" - also took significant fire damage. For those that don't know the area (Nate) the two aren't close at all - maybe half a mile. So, two seperate arsons yesterday. No Diamondback online story yet, but it was the cover of the paper today. Despite Duke still sucking.
Posted by: Chris at November 30, 2004 11:08 AMWTOP story from yesterday. Unlike the Irish Pizza Pub, it actually sounds as though the business will attempt to re-open.
Posted by: John at November 30, 2004 11:25 AMSomebody help me with my memory. Is Lasick's the place with the liquor store attached where went a lot before turning 21 because of the lax ID checking?
Posted by: Fatboy at November 30, 2004 12:16 PMShit yeah - that's why I be pissed. It was the closest liquor emporium to my house. Now I have to drive 500 feet farther.
It is [was] the green-and-white craphole steakhouse with a craptacular liquor store attached.
Posted by: Chris at November 30, 2004 12:22 PMClarification - closest open-late liquor store to my house. Y'all know Village Pump be the shit.
Posted by: Chris at November 30, 2004 12:45 PMI thought I'd check in with you boys to see what is going on these days and alas, I find out that Lasicks has burned down!!!! I am crushed. I have such fond memories of buying beer there while underage (even though I had the best fake ID ever that never failed me).
Best Lasick's Memory:
Being underage and going to Lasicks. Being carded in Lasicks. Being allowed to buy beer in Lasicks. Being allowed to buy beer in Lasicks only if I pounded a beer with the old cashier guy. This happened on three different occasions. Nevermind that I was with other underage people including my 17 year old cousin. We all had to pound the beers before we were allowed to pay and leave. And by leave I mean drive home.
Way to contribute, Lasicks! For that, you will always have a place in my heart.
For those interested parties, here is the Diamondback article.
"Lasick's was determined a total loss by EMS officials, but its owner, Joe Lasick, has vowed to rebuild the family business"
