Oh, we're into 'Shroom History are we? First Mellow, then Mighty! It must have been in the early '90s when Billy Welychko (pronounced just the way it sounds) and I decided after a party at the Rec. Center, to buy like 8 pizzas to take over to C Bldg. Hey, the alumni have to help out the guys, ya know.

There was some big bruiser who heard me place the order, but didn't realize that Billy and I were together. While I was carrying the first two pies out to Billy's truck, a few more came due, and Billy picked them up.

Bruiser says, "I'll take those", thinking my pizzas are being stolen. "The hell you will", Billy says, thinking he's the thief.

I return from the truck to witness a full-blown fist fight on the sidewalk, pizza flying everywhere, and quick as lightening no less than three of Melbourne's finest vehicles with sirens and lights flashing screaming to a halt.

Vigilantes all; there was no crime. We did get to Southgate with the pizzas eventually, only to have each owner of the apartment kick us out. "Don't bring those in here, we don't want 30 guys making a mess in our place".

It wasn't the best of evenings, but it does make for a good story, and a true one.

A few years later, they were holding bingo night (Oooh69!?) at the "Shroom" on Wednesdays I think, and I called 676-5660 from New York. Any Lambda Chis there? "Yeah". Well, put this on my credit card...

One brother called me on his cell phone 5 minutes later to thank me and passed his phone around. That was fun. The brotherhood was indeed intact, and still is.

ZAX,
