College kids are bucking advice to practice social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic and instead are partying in tight quarters aboard booze cruises.
A Facebook video from STS Travel shows about 250 bikini-clad spring breakers dancing, drinking and throwing their cares to the wind aboard a ship near Nassau, Bahamas, on Monday, a day after the country reported its first COVID-19 case.
“Our last booze cruise was yesterday,” the post reads. “The Blackbeard’s Revenge Cruise took such good care of our travelers, no one had to walk the plank!”

The UVs and all the fresh circulating air.
Young people. It is what they do.

The problem is a lot of these people will continue to act ‘young’ later in their life. Some will never mature.
GOOD!!!!
Possibly their leaders, AOC and Bernie Sanders should come forward and lead.
Since the colleges are mostly closed and all the service sector summer jobs are shut down, the kids might as well stay down there until next September. Hope they don’t run out of beer.
This book was once well known and read, by a lot of people, in the last century. Today I doubt many have even ever heard of the title of this book; let alone know it even exists.
My mom and dad used to live right near there.
Cuz their parents will foot the bill. Irresponsible brats being brought up by colleges, not by their parents.
Yeah, the President is just joshin’ us all, Skooz.

Pasolini has a bit of mondo cinema based on the Decameron. Right around the same time of Fellini’s Satyricon.
Not long ago I happened to see a bit of “The Masked Singer” and it reminded me of those movies.
I haven’t seen those films in decades (back in the day when the college would have all sorts of midnight movies)

Welp, there’s a nice experiment. Let’s keep an eye on these kids.
The original story by Edgar Allan Poe is great.
You read my mind.
Oddly enough. “The Masque of the Red Death” was scheduled for a screening at a revival cinema in April, but it may be canceled now.
Very apropos to now.
If those two can’t get them to come out an vote, what good will that do.
Geoffrey Chaucer heard of it.
I'm a fan of Fellini's movies and I think that I've seen all of them; even when he had only one part of a several different shorts made into a full length movie.
Not sure IF I have ever seen the Passolini's movie of the book. It does sound familiar, so perhaps I did.
TCM does show ALL of Fellini's movies, every now and again.
Parts of it were taught in high school in NYC - some even in the middle English. A good book full of fascinating stories - especially the dirty ones.
Also someone mentioned, Mark Steyn, I think, Daniel Defoe’s Diary of The Plague Year. Well worth checking out again, although I think it is more a financial plague here than a medical one.
And was very influenced by it...hence his THE CANTERBURY TALES!
