So, last night was my roommate Kadence's birthday, and we decided that the proper way to celebrate this occasion was by having a pseudo-kegger.  We had made jungle juice, bought four cases of beer and cleared out the entire contents of our living room to make room for beer pong and and flip cup tables.   Most importantly, we had invited every straight boy we know and VERY IMPORTANTLY, the senior at my school, Evan, that I've been trying to hook up with for the past two semesters.  The stage was set for the epic hookup of all time.  His best friend, Liam, was even committed (or convinced?) through several drunken facebook messages to hit it with Kadence.  It was perfect.

Well, almost perfect.  Unfortunately, Evan had not been so thourougly convinced, or even convinced at all to hook up with me.  My uber advanced come ons, including the ever so suave inner thigh rub, were brutally rebuffed.  Sad day.  Evan finally became so uncomfortable with my jungle juice encouraged pick up lines that he decided to high tail it out of there before I roofied his drink.  (The theme was a kegger, so it wouldn't have been entirely ridiculous!)  Sadly, he dragged Liam away with him (bromance?), so not even Kadance was able to "tap the bottle and twist the cap", if you know what I mean.

Allowing myself to be brought down to reality for about .2 seconds, I finally realized that I had to reshift my focus.  Yes, my night with Evan had not worked out as planned, but that didn't mean that some other poor, innocent boy couldn't be my victim for the night.  I settled on Joe.  Not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, but decently attractive, and with a personality loud enough to make Evan notice that he was hitting on me before he made his way out of the party.  Score.  I alerted Kadance to my new plans, pushed Joe into an empty room in our apartment and was about to have my way with him when he asked probably the most uncomfortable I've ever been asked in a sexual situation (other than that time that one guy asked if I'd ever been diagnosed with an STD.  Kidding, of course).

Joe: "So, wait a second.  Were you trying to hook up with Evan earlier in the night? I saw you talking to him a lot before."

[Awkward silence.]

Me: "Uhhhhhh.  Uhhhhhh.  No, not really.  I'm keeping my options open.  Now that's enough talking for now."

Dozens of high schoolers forced to take breath tests

WAUSAU, Wis. - Cars lining the street. A house full of young people. A keg and drinking games inside. Police thought they had an underage boozing party on their hands.

But though they made dozens of teens take breath tests, none tested positive for alcohol. That's because the keg contained root beer.

The party was held by a high school student who wanted to show that teens don't always drink alcohol at their parties. It has gained fame on YouTube.com.

Dustin Zebro, 18, said he staged the party after friends at D.C. Everest High School got suspended from sports because of pictures showing them drinking from red cups.

The root-beer kegger was "to kind of make fun of the school," he said. "They assumed there was beer in the cups. We just wanted to have some root beer in red cups and just make it look like a party, but there actually wasn't any alcohol."

Zebro purchased a quarter-barrel of 1919 Classic American Draft Root Beer, and by 10 p.m. Saturday, the scene outside his rural Wausau home had all the makings of a teen drinking party — cars, noise and kids.

Kronenwetter Police Chief Daniel Joling said an officer was dispatched to the home March 1 on a complaint of cars blocking the road.

Juveniles began coming out of the house after the officer used his squad car's loudspeaker to warn that cars would soon be towed, Officer Jason Rasmussen wrote in his report.

Nearly 90 breath tests were done, and officers even searched locked rooms for hiding teens.

"It was a tremendous waste of time and manpower, but we still had a job to do, and our officers did it," Joling said. "If one kid had come there, even hadn't drank there, but had come there and had been drinking and had left and crashed and burned, then what would the sentiment be? Why didn't the police check everybody out?"

School Superintendent Kris Gilmore did not immediately return a message Friday.

Well, just a little back story, this guy is trying to make a group called "Masculinist Coalition" which is "a group created to celebrate man as members see fit, discuss issues men face and (most importantly) have a good time with other people of a similar mindset."
So read on how he fights through some troubles with the student senate.
I support his work and would hope you all could help support by contacting those emails he lists.

root BEER KEGGER!!!

It's a bit over the top and a waste of police time, but genius.
I mean for a H.S. student to think of such a good protest is amazing.
Well done.

Delta Zeta sorority chapter is dismissed from DePauw University.  Yes, this time, it was DePauw's administration presenting an eviction notice to the sorority itself to vacate the house. Bitter irony! 

Kudos to President Dr. Robert G. Bottoms AND to Robert P. Hershberger.  We didn't buy DZ leadership's story, either.  Thanks for calling it like it is, speaking up for today's young women as though they were your own daughters, and keeping the good ol' girls' clubs in check.
