Love, love, LOVE your tagline!

We called it hunch punch, used Purplesaurus Rex Koolaid, Everclear, spiked fruit, and ice. We made two garbage-can-fulls

Shoot, we just called it trash can punch.

[Mears]

Good Lord,even in the nursery?

Sounds like this guy is missing a few screws.

[The Foolkiller]

What's this Everclear people have mentioned? The only Everclear I ever heard of is the band (and I'm sure that's where they took their name, although I didn't know it at the time I bought their albums).

[Melas]

Alabama is surely off its collective rocker. First the ban on sex-toys and now this. No wonder my good friend in Birmingham refers to his own state as Alabamistan.

[The Foolkiller]

Did you see the story today about some group suing to cease commercials for sweetened cereals?

That would be the 'scientific' org that was (coincidentally, I'm sure) created while the Klintons were in office. The Center For Science In The Public Interest.

I remember that. We called it hunch punch, used Purplesaurus Rex Koolaid, Everclear, spiked fruit, and ice.

We called it "dump" punch. Whichever floor or group was having the party would make the base; and people just came along and "dumped" various and sundry bottles of alcohol into it.

Personally, I never drank it...it was usually simply wicked-tasting. I do remember, however, that it turned out a really odd dark purplish-blue one time.

We had a party full of people with blue-tinged lips, they looked as though they were suffering from oxygen deprivation.

Elk, what's wrong with being against urban growth? After all, the urban areas are where the socialists are. LOL

[The Foolkiller]

But you're still a whippersnapper
Maybe, but I'm a smart whippersnapper, dammit! : )

Yes, you are. I just turned 64 on Friday the 13th, by the way. Glad to see you say the things you do, it gives me some hope for the human race.

Once they bunch up like that, they tend to try to dictate what goes on out here in "shoot-off-the-porch" land, without us knowing about it.

[Mr. Blonde]

We have a dry campus here. I don't know if that is safer or not. Frat members now have to drive to parties (and more than likely back) in order to drink. I don't know how much difference an anti-keg law would make. Most everyone here seems pretty set on bringing their own beer in cans or bottles. I have rarely been at keg parties, and even if they have one I prefer to bring my own since I can't stand Bud Light which if your lucky is what is in the keg.

Also while my sister was rushing, two sororities actually have dry pledges. Now ask yourself why that is required since pledges are (generally) all under 21. Seems that would be understood.

I dunno, have you talked to a twenty year old lately? If we don't get something done about the NEA, we're screwed.

You know things are bad when you actually consider running for public office. I don't know that I could stomach being in the same room with lifetime politicians, but if normal, fed-up folks don't run and win, it is just going to get worse.

What's this Everclear people have mentioned

It is bottled gasoline that only teenagers and homeless drunks dare to consume.

[elkfersupper]

Oh, lordy!

I don't know where to begin on that.

Rent "Animal House" (the movie).

"Safe" is what happens to you after you have kids, mortgages and responsibilities.

Geez!

[elkfersupper]

What's this Everclear people have mentioned?

Grain alcohol - close to 200 proof.

No redeeming qualities (except as a solvent).

[Ptarmigan]

Ah yes, the keg party. A rite of passage in college. Sometimes the cops would bust them for being too noisy. Eventually, they went to all can, but they are very messy.

[Rembrandt]

If these goofballs think they are going to put an end to irresponsible parties by kids then they must be Dimocratz. Kids are always going to find ways around even the most strict of rules.

[Ptarmigan]

Makes sense to me. It is usually the same few people who are doing this insanity.

[Ptarmigan]

I remember those hard liquor mixed with Kool-Aid. I had them before. Not bad. Many girls drank them though.

[The Foolkiller]

Oh, OK, I misread your statement, I guess.
