35 Kegs of beer on the lawn...

35 kegs of beer!! Take one down, pass it around - oh no the cops are here to take away our beer on the lawn!

It's Spring Weekend at UConn and the news has been covering it since Tuesday (it only goes the length of the normal college weekend - Thursday through Sunday). Interviews with police, students, police, and police were necessary to see how the police would handle those crazy college kids. Last night there were a few arrests for disorderly conduct and minor crimes. Tonight there was a big party crashed - there were 35 kegs of beer at the house. Now, most of the houses in Connecticut are HUGE because there are a lot of rich people here (there are also a LOT of poor people) so I can see how you can hide a lot of people in them without too much trouble. But how do you expect to hide 35 kegs? AND, how do you suppose you are going to CONSUME all of those kegs. As someone with some experience with kegs I know that it takes a lot of people to empty 1 and I think at one party we could have handled 2 no problem, but 35? Thats a little optimistic, I don't think anyone is that popular I don't care how many frats you might have pledged or nerds you promised hot girls to. If 1 keg produces about 165 12 oz cups of beer. That means that 35 kegs produces 5,775 12oz. cups of beer!! Seriously, I know that the US is all about 'thinking big' and indulging in things but that is just ridiculous.

Sorry, I don't know how to make pretty links without all of the schmutz.

The most sad part of this whole situation is the fact that this story was reported within the first 5 minutes of the news cast and actually beat out the Chinese President's visit to Yale University. I won't even go into the report titled "Oil Changes Undercover" with the boob at the Jiffy Lube who basically said that any and all kinds of driving are considered "severe conditions" and that everyone should get their oil changed every 5 minutes, I mean every 3000 miles - no matter what your owner's manual might say (those people that made the car have no idea what they are talking about apparently).

Welcome to Connecticut! Only 101 days left!!!
