Girls just wanna have fun, right? Tell that to the folks at the Parkersburg Art Center, West Virginia, and the Lake Lyndsay Lodge, Ohio.
These are really nice halls whose owners rent them out for wedding receptions, dances, and similar genteel occasions. They feature amenities such as crystal vases, silk flowers, pin-tuck tablecloths, statuary, and the like.
On March 6 at Petersburg, and April 9 at Lake Lyndsay, the sisters of a college sorority, with their dates, held dinner dances at the halls, rented for the occasion. As reported by thesmokinggun.com, the college girls made a total shambles of both halls.
What kind of a shambles? Oh, the usual youthful antics--feces, urine, and vomit all over the place; rugs, floors, and ceilings ruined by food-fights and spilled liquor; vases smashed, statues broken, silk flowers torn apart; a sink ruined by a young lady and her beau trying to have sex on top of it; hall attendants assaulted; tables overturned--$47,000 worth of damage to the Parkersburg Art Center, claim the owners.
Kind of reminds you of your senior prom, doesn’t it? Or the time you went to a wedding reception and your foot slid out from under you because you stepped in a pile of… never mind.
How unusual is it for well-to-do young people, college students, to behave like stressed-out laboratory monkeys suddenly let out of their cages? I say laboratory monkeys because normal monkeys in the wild would probably behave better than this. They certainly couldn’t have behaved worse.
I wonder what these girls majored in. We won’t discuss the boys because we don’t know where the girls found them. In fact, we aren’t sure we want to know. But just among the girls, how many future teachers were befouling the expensive tablecloths? How many future counselors, business managers, bureaucrats, or even congresswomen were swinging from the chandeliers?
It’s too depressing to ask how many future wives and mothers. “Gee, honey, I can never take you anywhere!” “Mommy, mommy, the bathroom’s over there…”
Perhaps the capers of a few dozen drunken sluts are an unworthy object of our contemplation. But maybe they are worthy. Maybe they tell us something about this cesspool of a culture that we live in. Surely these incidents can’t be unrelated to a general course of cultural decay.
We live amidst a vast panorama of vulgarity, an incessant bombardment of the crude. You don’t have to seek out the filth; it finds you. You can’t even listen to a news show on the radio without being peppered with smarmy ads for various “male enhancement” products, not to mention news reports of assorted celebrities and politicians disgracing themselves. And then there are the reality shows, movies, video games, the so-called music and all the rest, all belching out the same message--sleaze, sleaze, sleaze: love it, live it, be a part of it, 24/7.
Actually, it’s rather surprising that it’s still safe to rent out a hall at all--but then the sleaze merchants haven’t quite finished with this generation, have they? There are still universities that have not yet hosted “The Vagina Monologues,” or how-I-did-it lectures by porn stars.
Dear Leader says, “America is not a Christian country.” Obviously he’s right. If we as a nation have succeeded in anything at all, these days, we have successfully avoided behaving like a Christian nation.
No, we don’t need no stinkin’ Christian morals. We’re doing just fine with the morality we’ve got.
Just wear galoshes when you go out on the dance floor.
Women can't do or work in traditional male jobs such as doctors, pilots, corporate presidents, scientists ... the list goes on ... so when women go and do what good ol'boys do then we're trash ... I see.
Meanwhile I can’t find a f**king job....
(1) You have deep-seated problems with men, hence your inability to carry on trivially successful conversations, let alone relationships, with them.
(2) You have difficulty following syllogisms.
(3) You believe that putting words that you don't understand in scare quotes immunizes you from that lack of understanding.
Thanks for sharing.
I think it was blonde, 2nd one from the right.
Perhaps in the same sense that being described as "straight gangsta" is complimentary in some circles.
I've only heard the term "stud" used sarcastically or contemptuously.
I've never seen anyone called a "stud" as a sincerely intended, straightforward compliment.
Aw shucks. I thought that this was an article about Democratic Congresswomen, led by Crazy Maxine Waters, “I’m a senator Barbara the Brainless Boxer”, Hillary Thunderthighs Clinton, and the rest of those bimbos.
Gee, girls just wanna have fun!
It is a picture from their website. None of them are identified.
The word is used in a complimentary way all the time, especially in sports.

Really?
I've just finished watching a series in which the Mets swept the Phillies in 27 scoreless innings, with some pretty amazing pitching and fielding.
Apparently it's the first shutout series sweep for the team in 41 seasons.
I don't recall the announcers, who have been showering the Mets with praise and compliments, describing any of the players as "studs" or their play as "studlike" etc. That's about 12 hours worth of play and pre- and post-game commentary.
Again, it's a word that people use sarcastically - not as ingenuous praise.
I always thought this was a respectful use of the term 'stud'.
But guys who are sexually promiscuous are called studs which would figure considering the current standards.
If a key opens a hundred different locks it's a great key.
If a hundred different keys can unlock a lock, it's a crappy lock.
When the sellers sell for little or nothing, they are declared ‘stupid’.
When the buyer buys for little or nothing, they are declared ‘smart’.
That is what the ‘slut’ and ‘stud’ difference is all about.
A wise and sage analysis, my friend. Yours is one of the better posts I've seen on the forum in a very long time.
Thank you.
That's an over-the-top moment in a tongue-in-cheek musical comedy.
It underlines the fact that the term is only used in a joking "meta" way.
No brodcaster is going to call a player a stud on the air but I wouldn’t be surprised if they call good athletes studs off the air. Sports fans have called good athletes studs for as long as I can remember. To deny that stud is considered less insulting by the general population than slut is idiocy.
Congratulations on watching sports for the first time. If you stick with it you will often hear announcers talk about one player or another - - especially a big, strong player who can hit the ball a mile, or break a run for 20 yards, or nail a pile of consecutive 3-point shots - - as “quite a stud” or some similar phrase.
The word is probably most often used to describe high draft picks and rookies.
Maybe the Amish and Quakers are on to something. . .
It took a bit til I could move my eyes over to it though
: > )
I think I better avoid this one. LOL
