In my four years of college, I saw the the price of a solo cup increase from the standard $5 to $10 by my senior year.

Yikes!

A tradition unrivaled...

The Estates Bed & Breakfast to open in St. Joseph

This is funny.  "The Estates" was, in my day, am SJU party house.

Prostrollo said three bedrooms will be completely gutted

I bet they will.  The demo team will need full hazmat suits and I would not be surprised to see an EPA noxious materials squad on hand.  After 30 years as upperclass housing that place will be funky.

Being close to church was a selling point for you I'm sure  ;D

I sent that link to my BIL, who graduated in the early '90s and lived in another rundown dump known as The Alamo.  His response:
QuoteThere is not enough bleach on the planet to majke me feel safe enough to stay in one of those places.  If they burned the place down, hauled off the remains and had a priest exorcise the ground then maybe.

I told him that the East Coast has made him soft.

One week until a little footy action to fill the off-season.  Here are some season highlights from 2016 to whet the appetite of the interested.

This story made the rounds last night and this morning but it is worth posting here even though it is not football related.

I wonder if they will have keg tapped and $5 up charge for a cup?

In my four years of college, I saw the the price of a solo cup increase from the standard $5 to $10 by my senior year. As a native Minnesotan once said, "The times, they are a-changin".

Sounds like you went to party houses that were run by Ticketmaster. Did you get a receipt that looked like this?

Cup Face Value - $5
Tax  -  $0.35
Facility Charge - $1.67
Convenience Charge - $1.49
Cup Processing Fee - $0.81
Cup Delivery Fee - $0.74
TOTAL - $10.06  (purposefully not an even $10 just to piss you off)

And, that's just for your run-of-the-mill solo cup. I hear the "premium cup options" are outrageous these days.



Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright.

Don't Print That

Heard it on good authority last night that SJU will have a 10th game next season.

OMG!  It's the MIAC off-season, it's St. Patrick's Day, and aside from a comment on Red Cups this morning, not a single BEER post!  You guys are going soft - ya'll join the WCTU? :o

Or, maybe you share my opinion that green beer is an abomination, and an affront to nature.

Paddy has had a little too much to drink celebrating St Patrick's Day but nevertheless he foolishly decides to drive home.
Of course, his car is weaving all over the road and he gets pulled over by a cop.

The cop looks at him and says, "So, where have you been?"

Paddy slurs, "Why, I've been to the pub of course."

"Well," says the cop, "It look's like you've had quite a few to drink this evening."

"I did all right," replies Paddy with a smile.

The cop stands up straight and folds his arms across his chest, as he asks, "Did you know that a few intersections back your wife fell out of your car?"

Paddy says, "Oh, thank heavens! For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."

Level 1, anyone...Level 1? Must have been the all clear on the corned beef & cabbage that lessened the intensity in 2017.
