75% of College Parties

Bomby · 11-13-2009, 11:17 AM

I've never quite understood the appeal of a bunch of people standing around with a bottle of beer, listening to music at ridiculously loud volumes, and yelling "woo" approximately every 43 seconds.

No, really. Some college parties actually are that dumb.

***CaptHayfever*** · 11-13-2009, 03:25 PM

That's why those are the parties I don't go to.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Bomby · 11-13-2009, 04:15 PM

I try to avoid going to those parties, but sometimes I inadvertently attend them by living in the flat adjacent to one.

Thankfully, I'm a heavy sleeper so they don't bother me so much as they perplex me.

I prefer a gathering of mates.

Luigiman7 · 11-13-2009, 05:49 PM

Tea parties all the way.

Zharen · 11-13-2009, 06:07 PM

Kegger parties ftw.

LisBad · 11-13-2009, 08:17 PM

^Really not that great, I think a bunch of people getting **** faced and acting retared is not "tight" yo.
Very few people understand the concept of responsible partying.

Zharen · 11-13-2009, 08:48 PM

Depends on who you invite. Keggers can be awesome with the right people. I'm not one to put the word out to a bunch of college freshmen. My friends range from the mid 20's to early 30's. Unless I'm hanging out with the raver crowd. But that's a different story.

***CaptHayfever*** · 11-13-2009, 08:57 PM

Root beer kegger = Win.
Video game nights = Win.
One of the frats at Truman--the friendly, goofy, slacker frat--does both of these on a regular basis.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

LisBad · 11-13-2009, 09:02 PM

^ All of that but instead of root beer it should be Dr.Pepper

Zharen · 11-13-2009, 09:30 PM

I'll take some Dr. Pepper and Jack Daniels.

Depends on the party. Most parties around here are thrown by frats, the NHPC's tend to rent out or partner with a club and the IFC's tend to throw the house parties/keggers. The genuine house parties are great though, just a smaller number of people (10-20 instead of a couple 100) that have some familiarity with each other, some alcohol and good times.

A lot of people here are just too damn negative.

LisBad · 11-13-2009, 11:46 PM

^^ Dr. pepper and Sailor Jerry's.

Zharen · 11-13-2009, 11:59 PM

Will have to try it. For all the partying I've done, I've only come across Sailor Jerry's recently. Sheit's bomb.

Robotazy · 11-14-2009, 01:17 AM

Thos parties aren't fun until someone gets hurt doing something stupid.

***Cosmonautical*** · 11-14-2009, 03:11 AM

If you're bored then you're boring, they say. You could always make it an interesting party yourself.

Bomby · 11-14-2009, 09:56 AM

What's the point of being entertaining when most of my funny comments would be about the absurdity of the event? Not to mention that most of them would be so hung over that they wouldn't remember how ****ing awesome I am the next day.

Yeah it's like a way better version of captian morgan.

***Marilink*** · 11-14-2009, 12:33 PM

I'm not a big fan of parties in the first place. I'd just rather hang out with my friends without having a bunch of douchebaggy loud drunk people around. Watching a movie, playing some video games, having a bonfire, going swimming or something...there are so many things I'd rather do.

**Valigarmander** · 11-14-2009, 01:07 PM

I've never been to a party before in my life. I'm probably never going to go to one.
