It became a mix of birthday party, back to school party, end of summer party for several years. It was always a time to let lose, bend the rules, eat too much and get extremely drunk. No one was every seriously injured. Nobody died (Dave tried suicide a few times, but never really managed). Humiliation (usually self inflicted) was prevalent, though. Pictures are therefore rare and may be considered evidence in some jurisdictions.
