Caught Napping with the Dead Gamers


A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of asleep.
Handwritten note on the other side of this photo: "This is the party that claims he got the Manheim bunch full when in Altoona. I caught him napping when the Dead Game[r]s of Lancaster was camping here."
The Dead Gamers' Camping Association was a fraternal group based in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (see The Dead Gamers Camp in Allenwood, Pa., an article by Heather Truckenmiller on the Valley Girl Views blog). The photographer caught the man fast asleep on a cot during a sunny afternoon as bright light illuminated the sleeper and the side of the tent.
This is a real photo postcard, and the type of Azo stamp box (with four corner triangles pointing up) printed on the other side suggests a date from 1904 to 1918.

So...is "claims he got the Manheim bunch full" a colloquialism for getting them drunk?
It's always been fun to me to hear the many ways that being drunk is locally described.
There should be a book! (Perhaps there is.)
