there's a HUGE college party going on down

[Blue_Roses]

the street from my house. They just moved in this semester--we moved in three months ago. My kids are in bed, the husband is snoring---I WANT TO GO TO THIS PARTY! After a few beers, I think I'm "up" to it...it's been a few years since I went to one of these. Okay maybe 20 years, but what the hell...they are my neigbors, right? Should I go or not?

1. Go for it!

If your husband or kids wake up, Just say you were trying to be a good neighbor and were welcoming them to the block! Have fun!!!

:toast:

[Seldona]

2. Damn straight.

Grab a cup for me!

[Placebo]

3. Don't go.

You don't want to seem out of place, and besides, there are times in life for everything and after those particular times you just can't go back.

Don't go! Act your age. :)

[Seldona]

5. Act your age?

Does one ever get to old to have a few beers with the neighbors?

I hope not...

[Placebo]

6. But it's a COLLEGE party!

Not just any 'ol party.

[Seldona]

7. I know.

All the more reason.

Really I do not want to get into it with anyone here, but as for me I have been in this situation a few times and had a BLAST.

In fact I am really wishing I was there right now.

My wife and kids are sleeping, and some rowdy great fun sounds just right about now.

Up to the individual I guess.

[Placebo]

9. Err, if I was your wife...

I would be super pissed to know my husband was at some college party with barely legal drunk girls throwing themselves at anything with a piece of flesh dangling between its legs that might be within puking distance. :eyes:

[Blue_Roses]

13. it's not the puking girls

that bother me-this group seems more sub-dued--it's the fact that I'm TWENTY YEARS OLDER. This group is FAR more mature at their young age than I was the whole 4 years I was in college. :)

For some reason, this party makes me miss my college years--a time when I didn't have a care in the world, except who would make the next beer run.

4. You should

put on a mini-skirt, a top that exposes your stomach, and bring some alcohol. You will have a lot of new friends :)

Party like it's 1984...lol

[Nightowl_2004]

8. Well that's 3-1 for "go"

A Clear Majority. You owe it to democracy to go ;-)

[Blue_Roses]

11. LOL!

times like this I wish it was 1984 again! To know THEN what I know now...wow... Those were the days...and some awesome times:)

[MrScorpio]

10. Why the hell not? Go... GO!!!

What ever you do, just don't end up getting featured on COLLEGE FUCK FEST.COM

That would not be a good thing.

12. Be careful...

When you see through grown-up eyes the full stupidity of antics that seemed so brilliant and original in your own youth, it might take a bit of the shine off some previously pleasant memories...

On the other hand, they probably have a beer bong!

[MissMarple]

14. No. Absolutely not, trust me.

[faithnotgreed]

18. do tell

[Swamp Rat]

15. Hell yeah! GO!

I live next to Tulane and Loyola and they have parties all the time. If I don't have fun, I at least get free beer! Go for a few minutes and see if you like it. If not, go back home. Can't hurt to try.

[faithnotgreed]

16. hey swamp rat

[Swamp Rat]

19. thanks

[faithnotgreed]

20. ah.ok that explains why i havent seen you. hope you & yours

are doing ok....

[Swamp Rat]

21. We're all fine thanks.

I was busy posting weather updates in LBN until we lost power. If you want to know what the weather is going be like, forget the Weather Channel and the idiots on corporate TV. Go here:
http://www.noaa.gov/

The link to the satellite imagery (left column) was most helpful, as were the links to scientific data that's continuously updated.
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml?

I was able to predict where Ivan was going just as well as ANY "forecaster" on TV. They all get their information from this website, but add their own computer models (based on the ones listed at noaa.gov).

22. Well, by this time either you did

or you didn't go. If you went, give us the details.
