What are some of the more interesting drinking games
you have seen or participated in?


My floor had a tradition of having what were called Golf
parties.  A golf party consisted of setting up 9 "holes"
on one or two floors of a dorm.  The contestants then
proceeded from room to room attempting to complete a drink
in as few gulps as possible.  Each time the cup came away
or you quit drinking was a stroke.  The team with the least
strokes at the end won a prize and were given a certificate
(nicely done on a Macintosh).  Most teams rarely made it
past the 4th or 5th hole.  it was best when the travel 
between holes required climbing stairs!  Be advised:  This
game should be played with caution and the drinks should
be kept somewhat weak at the start so people can drop out
gracefully after a few holes and not be too drunk!

Proof please.

"The orientation" mentions it??  That is impossible.  A person could
mention it, or a document that was handed out at th orientation.  Which is
it?

Who runs orientations?  A bunch of upperclassmen who may simply be
repeating the folklore of the day.  

I want more evidence than  "I heard it at orientation"

You know, I was wondering if I was the only person
in the college world who had this problem, so someone out there
sympathize with my story:

	I had this roommate with this really horny girlfriend. She
was over all the time, and consequently I could not come home after
a long, gruesome day without her being there.
	After awhile, I would try and avoid coming home as much as possible,
and one time I waited outsdie my room with my other suitemates waiting
so I could get some books out of my room while they did "that thang"....
	One time, I was playing Nintendo with my suitemate when his bedposts
bent in half and his whole bed came crashing down. I don't know if they 
finished or not...but anyway, it was all starting to drive me insane. She
was sleeping over all the time. But this is my favorite story about that
semester: it was about 2 AM, and I had pretended to go to sleep(I wish I
could have really - but they had the light on and were talking). They started
to get heavy and she tended to get, uh, quite vocal. I bolted upright in my
bed, grabbed my huge blanket around me, and went into the house's (a
two-floor combo where a spiral staircase extends down into a high-ceilinged
room...) and turned on the cable TV and sat down at the couch...
	My roommate soon emerged, sheepish and only wearing his boxers. He 
said, "uh, its ok now, we are going to go to sleep, you can come back in."
I screamed in an upset voice, "NO! REALLY!@#$ Its OK, man, look - The WIZ
is on. I'm gonna watch the WIZ. its ok, bye BYE!"
	He of course went back to the room to do God-knows-what.

	So what do you guys say? Any fantastic stories about roommates
out there? I could tell you all about my Hmong roommate Pao who loved
to eat noodles at 2 AM, loudly. After three months I bolted upright
and screamed, "Are you through yet?" I went back to sleep, and two minutes
later, a sheepish sssllurp could be heard.

More? More!?

This is for all you creative story writers.  Let's see how well you can write.

If you could create a character for you to be for only one night at your
favorite night club, what would you think would happen that night at that
club.  Explain in detail the following;
 
	1) your character (i.e. employee, user)
	2) your night at the club (i.e. things you did, people you met)
  
Please keep it as realistic as possible, but also creative as possible.
This is for a study that I am doing for a night club owner who is planning
to open a new club.

Canisius has a similar policy, only ours is 10 minutes for a professor, and 15
minutes for a Doctor.

So far, in my early freshman career, I have had 2 teachers walk in 14.5
minutes late, with half of the class standing by the door..

Our school has one sport that it is quite proud of:
HOCKEY!!

Often, the stories about the hockey players get quite
exaggerated.  In my day, they were known to be the 
biggest partiers on campus.

One story that was often told about one player was that
he was caught hitting a potted marijuana plant down a
dorm hallway with a hockey stick.  Of course, the coach
and the cops covered it up so he could keep playing.
The funny part was that this guy was the straightest one
on the team(I knew him personally).

Did the plant fly well? If it was well grown, I would think that you would 
have to hit it very hard in order to get it to fly any distance at all.
Other question
	Do people run away from security on your campus. Around here a good
pair of feet and some knowlage of campus can save you a lot of trouble.

Ok this is turning from alt.folklore.omar
to alt.folklore.wpi.goober
But Ned and Jay are different...
Yes Jay lives in Riley, still, on the fourth floor...
Where he lived two years ago when my ex-girlfriend lived 
there...he would come out of his room when we got back
from wherever we were at 2:30 in the morning, and talk at us
as we walked down the hall, then one of us would have to shut the 
door in his face so we could go to bed...That is an active boring
type of annoying...
Ned on the other hand was a passive funny type of annoying 
(was..is)
One time I was at my friends apt. (where Ned lived) talking with
my friends Ray and Kathy in the living room on Sun night...
Ned was watching T.V...Sixty Minutes as a matter o fact,
watching very intently...someone went into the kitchen looking
for food, and while looking said...Hmmmmmmmmmm...
Me and Kathy both looked at each other and quoting from 
that horriblly wonderful pop song said in unison
"Things that make you go Hmmmmmm"
Ned turned to us and said (refering to a TV that we
hardly realized was on)
"Hmmmmm, what do you mean hmmmm, there should be regulations
for that in every state!"
"Ned, what the hell are you talking about?"
 I've never seen Ray laugh so hard in my life....
Guess you had to be there...
The kid doesn't reside in the same world we do...

Can you guys please give the racism issue a rest??

geez.. 

maybe I can say something to make my views clear , since no one has heard
anything from me regarding this issue, which frankly I think has been beaten
into the ground..

#1... I do not think the jive posting was intended to be racist. Some of you
might take it as being that way, but that's your problem.. not mine.  

#2... The bio I wrote was in my CS account here and I had no idea till I was
told that someone had gotten it. I was asked to write it by a friend at Indiana
University and she told me what she wanted in there...

#3... I resent the whole idea of racism and my heritage being used as a stick
to beat a dead horse. If I am going to be successful in the world, I want it to
be because of my abilities, not because I'm of an ethnic minority group and I
wear hearing aids. For the record, I do not use sign language as 99% of the
people with my severity of hearing loss would. For those skeptics, look it
up... I have a hearing loss (mean) of 75 dB  in each ear.. Most people with that
loss wouldn't even be able to get through the regular school system without
help, much less play a musical instrument as I do

#4... I don't mind giving people a laugh occassionally, but what I resent is
being cut down behind my back.. There is no excuse for that and I will not
tolerate it. I was not raised to descend to a level of name calling.

#5... I was raised to take pride in myself and I admit, at times I do flaunt
it. IT's something I'm trying to change and I hope that some people will at
least see it that way..


enough said.. back to finals

Ned managed to annoy so many different groups on campus, that
two totally different and unrelated groups of people came up with
"No Ned" signs by one group, and "Ned Free Zone" signs by another, which
were posted around campus...He lived next door to me last year, to the
ultimate horror of the six friends of mine who had their seventh member
of their seven man apt. leave school..thus allowing Residential life
to move Ned in...
He used to do the "Ned eight second shuffle step"  He would
walk up the stairs of his apt...stop on the landing facing into the
corner...and stand there for exactly eight sec. every time, without
fail...he would then proceed to point into the corner with both hands
in a gun fighter type 'o gesture, then proceed...one can only guess
at the monumental conclusions he came up with during those eight seconds 
of deep thought...you should hear what the poor kid who had to share 
a room with him had to say about him...
He's not a bad guy...not even pompous...just a character and a half...

they are about 80 miles from Milwaukee.  No, the best place for that dorm
(excuse me again Residence Hall) would be here at at Marquette.  Right
now I'm sitting about 6 blocks from his old apartment.  Friends of
mine lived about 2 blocks from him in a university hall while he was still
running around.

Should we rename West Hall to the Dahmer Memorial Hall?
