Given the length of this thread and the positive comments about fraternities, I have to be more blunt about Penn State years ago. It was not unusual to see a bloody and hurt pledge wandering around my street in State College, PA. Looking back, I deeply regret not notifying the police. I attended a Jesuit university that did not allow fraternities, so I was shocked by what I saw. To @TylerandAce, you do not have to belong to a fraternity to have lifetime bonds with your classmates. I audited classes at the University of Pennsylvania for 11 years (2006-2016), and only remember one Jewish student who belonged to a fraternity. I believe Penn has the most Jewish students of any Ivy university. Since I do all the reading in courses, it's very easy to get to know the students, despite the large age difference.

Rick Munroe posted twice in the thread. He was a close ally when I started posting. Rick would find your comments totally ridiculous, especially the term "pioneering posters."

Yes, except few of us even remember 10 people who might have posted back then. For me, it's a waste of time unless it's an usually interesting thread. Going Commando hardly qualifies as a landmark thread.

Yes, he also has a wonderful sense of humor. Rick did post occasionally a year or two ago.

The only name I recognize is escort Rick Munroe's. I would understand more if a very old thread was very relevant in 2017.

Yes, I know. The get-together was job related. I only stayed with the job for a year, and rarely saw any of those people again.

I knew some of the people there, so it may not have been sex related. I was never unconscious. Luckily I went with a friend who drove. On the ride home, the road kept changing. So I knew it was not booze or even LSD. And it lasted for the next two days. My guess is there was someone there who really disliked me, or, just as likely, it was just a random spiking of drinks.

I have no doubts about what happened: none. Whatever was put in my drink was far more powerful than alcohol.

How exactly are films, theater. classical and all other kinds of music, TV and many other legit forms of show business not proper vocations?

No, it happened to me many years ago, much stronger than alcohol. Luckily, a friend was there to get me out of there immediately. This not meant as a judgement on George Takei, rather it is not always alcohol.

A shameful con for Veterans' Day.

What bull crap. If anyone is suffering from PTSD, you should help them find a counselor to help with an application to the VA for financial assistance. I had trouble navigating through the VA bureaucracy (not for PTSD), until a call to a friend who has experience with the VA.
