Brat in the Frat

[cloudy]

Thanks you so much, Carson, for mentioning that song. Now I'm going to have it in my head all day.

What song?

50 million points to the horsey!

Shanglan, I thought you were leaving town today!

Shanglan, I thought you were leaving town today!

Tomorrow morning. That's for a 2-day, 18-road-hours drive with one adult dog and a frantically exuberant 50-pound puppy.

I think I need my head examined.

(PS - Cloudy, the Dead Milkmen's "Brat in the Frat"):

Do not like you college brats
Do not like you and your frats
Do not like you at the shore
I do not like you drunk on Coors
Do not like your average life
Hope you do not take a wife
Hope you don't decide to breed
'Cause that's one thing I do not need.

You're the bomb.

I just realized I never knew what GDI meant until now. Nobody I knew who was Greek would tell me.

I would have told you if you'd asked.

Damn you, Shanglan....now I've got that earworm, too.

I don't know what it means. Would you please tell me?

God Damned Independent.

Someone who isn't Greek.

GDI...hmmm. Just realized I've always been one of them. Usually I refer to the group I've been as the Misfits (like the band) or the Freaks and Geeks (like the show).

GDI sounds nicer though. Much more engineery as a TLA.

 

[carsonshepherd]

I didn;t know what it meant, but I always liked being one.

Independent is good.

Thank you kind miss.

So pleased to share

3) Stop drinking
4) That is quite an impressive supply
5) Stop drinking
6) Excellent. Where's the ticket to Sligo?
7) Stop drinking before I hoofprint your sorry ass.

Don't make me come over there.

Carson, if you are truly doing "frat boy" research, you must NOT stop drinking...


go ahead and pass out...

Carson,

You might want to take a look at Tom Wolfe's new epic, "I Am Charlotte Simmons." It's not a good book, but you might want to study how Wolfe handles frats. The one he focuses on is called "Saint Ray" the college is the fictious "Dupont University."

Here is a little snippet:

--

"Yo, Hoyt! 'Sup?"

He looked away from the mirror, and there was Vance with his head of blond hair tousled as usual. They were in the same fraternity. He had an overwhelming desire to tell Vance what he had just discovered. He opened his mouth but couldn't find the words, and nothing came out. So he turned his palms upward and smiled and shrugged.

"Lookin' good, Hoyt!" said Vance as he approached the urinals, "lookin' good!"

Hoyt knew it really meant he looked very drunk. But in his current sublime state, what difference did it make?

"Hey, Hoyt," said Vance, who now stood before a urinal, "I saw you upstairs there hittin' on that little tigbiddy! Tell the truth! You really, honestly, think she's hot?"

"Coo Uh gitta bigga boner?" said Hoyt, who was trying to say, "Could I get a bigger boner?" and vaguely realized how far off he was.

"Soundin' good, too!" said Vance. He turned away in order to pay attention to the urinal, but then looked at Hoyt once more and said with a serious tone in his voice, "You know what I think? I think you're demolished, Hoyt. I think it's time to head back while your lights are still on."

Hoyt put up an incoherent argument, but not much of one, and pretty soon they left the building.

IMHO, Colly's advice was spot on. Frats vary depending on the region, time frame, and school. Keep those things fuzzy or fictitious and you shouldn't have any problems with varisimilitude.

I really would like to do some field frat-boy research....Wanna help?

Here's the thing, Shanglan. I haven't been drinking for about the last week due to that surgery I had and the pain pills, etc. Also, I didn't eat much last night. So it only took me about 5 beers to get drunk.

And yes... I am cutting back.

THank you and come again.
