1. I was drunk the day my Mom got out of prison...

   Posted by UNC Pharmacy Class of 1980 on 9th May 2011

   I learned the words to the perfect country song while my feet stuck to the floor and I drank cheap pitchers of beer with my pharmacy school friends. The afternoon after our last exam of our last semester, six of us drank 13 pitchers of beer, sitting in Trolls, singing along with David Allen Coe and Springsteen. The people at the table next to us told us that if we could drink #12, they would buy us #13. Never challenge a Carolina student in Trolls to drink more beer...they always did! It was the PERFECT bar in the PERFECT place, in the best town in the world.

2. I wrote my resume there...

   ... on a Friday afternoon. Another time 5 friends and I danced on the bar. Yet another time I had to go dumpster diving the next morning to look for my stolen purse. Wish I had a dime for every "Troll's moment"!

3. Anybody know what happened to "The Mayor?"

   Posted by Unknown on 15th Jan 2011

   So sorry to hear that Sam died so young. Geez. I remember "the Mayor", Roger, Sam, the cheap pitchers and the great jukebox vividly, considering my complete lack of sobriety. Friday afternoon Happy Hour was a weekly ritual for me and my room mates....Usually followed by a trip to Hector's on the way home.
   Great memories of a Carolina institution. RIP Troll's...

   I had some good times there! I also think they had the worst restroom I have ever used - at least in North America!

9. Sam...

   Posted by UNC'81gal on 8th Aug 2010

   Sorry to say it, but Sam died about 30 years ago of brain cancer. He had sold Troll's (to Roger I think) and married a girl from my UNC'81 class. Later (don't remember if this was before or after he died), she opened Bub's, 2 floors up from Troll's (or as we called it "On top of on top of Troll's").
   I agree that 'white' is probably not the color I would associate with Troll's. :)
   And don't forget the pinball in the back...Mata Hari and longneck Buds..."give me hole B*%^h"...we cried the day they hauled her away on the back of that flatbed!!!

10. 1979

    Posted by Unknown on 25th Jul 2010

    Wow, Troll's...where I learned the Stones lyrics: "Bite the big apple, don't mind the maggots" singing into a cold bottle of Stroh's. Could buy beer at 18 back then. Is Sam still around?
    
    Score 4: I like white, but a Troll's shirt shouldn't be white.
