(54,256 posts)Scotty was a nice guy, very witty and funny sober.
A few drinks/beers and he was hilarious.
A few more and he crossed a line.
Then he just wanted to fight.
Anybody.

For a really creepy description of his college life, try this account by a former roommate, Kit Winter. Winter points out that he and Kavanaugh were very different types, unlikely to be actual friends at best, but! Btw, this bathroom used by 3 roommates, not a hall full of residents.

Especially disgusting was the shared bathroom, which was always covered in vomit. Kavanaugh and his crowd, whom Winter characterizes as loud, obnoxious frat boy-like drunks were the hardest drinkers on campus even back then, when hard drinking did not hold the stigma it does today. In a statement earlier this week, Roche recalled Kavanaugh frequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk, and Winter corroborates that recollection. There was a lot of vomit in the bathroom. No one ever cleaned it up. It was disgusting. It wasnt incidental. It wasnt, Oh, this weekend someone puked in the bathroom. People were constantly puking in the bathroom. Constantly. Lori Adams, a retired psychiatrist in Underhill, Vermont, was a friend of Winters at Yale. I remember, she says, that you couldnt use the bathroom because his roommates vomited all over the floor and didnt clean it up. (Winter clarifies that Roche wasnt much of a drinker and that although he himself drank a fair amount during freshman year, he very rarely drank to the point of throwing up.)
The social dynamic within the triple was nonexistent to the point that Winter felt uncomfortable. From the start, Winter and Kavanaugh barely acknowledged one anothers existence. He remembers no conversation between them. Kubovy, still in high school at the time, sometimes visited Winters dorm room. Its weird never saying hello to one of your two roommates, he says, in retrospect. (Several years later, Dana How lived next door to Kavanaugh, and his recollection is similar. Kavanaugh and his roommates didnt talk to anybody, How remembers. They were completely antisocial. The door was closed. These guys were completely disconnected.) In LDO1, Kavanaugh and Roche were also very nearly strangers, according to Roches statement; Brett and I did not socialize beyond the first few days of freshman year.
