Mark Judge talks about an acquaintance he named 'O'Kavenaugh' who puked in a friend's car after too many beers.
This is the same Mark Judge who was a Friend of Kavanaugh's, placed in the room by Dr. Ford during the attempted rape.

Must be all those brain cells destroyed at Georgetown Prep!

(14,918 posts)and there was a hard-drinking buddy named "Brad O'Kavanaugh". Sen. Leahy asked if that was based on him, and he "filibustered," bragging about his good grades and extra-curriculars, and refused to give a straight answer.

(34,402 posts)What's going to happen to them? That they'll be even more fucked in November? They know this is their last chance. They haven't given a damn about the public so far. Why now? The only way he's going down is if they can shame Murkowski & Collins enough and hope that Manchin & Heitkamp don't defect.
I really, really, really hope I'm wrong.

(6,363 posts)...but EVERY caption was rooted in fact. EVERY comment we made about someone was thought about and "tested" among a group of us. It was 1979 and we purposefully asked ourselves as editors...is this consistent with who this person it ?
And I don't think we were ahead of our time. That's just what we were always taught to do.
So, yeah, I think his year book is who he is.

(6,363 posts)Junion Prom is coming up. My best friend and I had dates from the neighborhood and made plans to go. It was a big deal - first Tux dance and all that. Like 3 weeks before the Prom, his girlfriend doesn't come through with some tickets for a concert in town and he throws a pissy fit.
We're standing at a pay phone and he's yelling at her blah blah blah...and he slams down the phone, looks at me and says "f'ck it, I'm going with Marilynn".
Wait. What? The Marilynn I'm going with? Yeah - we've been dating on the side so she and I are going to go.
I was like What the f'ckity f-ck...how did that happen. I ended up, seriously, going with my cousin's cousin on the other side of the family. Needless to say - we weren't best friends after that.
Fast forward to senior year...his senior year picture is on a page with some other pictures that have him nuzzling up with the old girlfriend and the new girlfriend dancing around with a couple football players doing a little wet t-shirt game of some kind. I don't even know what was going on.
Damn it was fun to make all that permanent...and nobody noticed.
Hehe.

(6,363 posts)Winehouse just hit what I was going to say. We did edit some of them IIRC. At our school, about 80% of the people didn't send anything for us to start with.
