Yeah, white Engineering students really loving like drinking heavily the instant they get into uni. I'd assume it's because they're only kept in line by domineering helicopter parents throughout high school, and then the moment they move into a sharehouse or on-campus living and turn 18 they start making up for lost time.

Also I will never not find Americans referring to utes as "trucks" hilarious. Also American moms calling their kids FirstName MiddleName when they're mad :mad:

At my uni the civil engineers were the cool ones with all the parties and such. The rest of the engineering disciplines were the nerds.

also truck is a lot better than lorry. Anyway I think most students drink heavily when they first get to college, it's just that the engineers are much more likely to make complete asses of themselves while doing it because of the lack of social skills.

Names are power over something. If your mother calls you by your nick name you might roll your eyes, full first name would make you perk up a little bit, but holy hell if she calls you by your full loving name you better be able to run away for a year and a day.

Works the same way with demons and banishment from the mortal plane.

The Republic of Texas had fairly good relations with the British Empire (if only out of desperation for allies), and Britain hoped to use it as a counterweight to the United States, even offering to guarantee Texas' borders against the US and Mexico to try to ward off US annexation. Britain's antislavery stance and unwillingness to piss off Mexico by officially recognizing the republic torpedoed it, though.

Every major/frat/extracurricular club/whatever is "the one that parties the hardest"

Accountancy: man they look all stuffy and professional but when they cut loose hooooo boy, they party the hardest

Music: bunch of stressed-out people take long bus rides to go to state competitions, how do you think they relax on the way back? they party the hardest

Math club: say what you will about pocket protectors--have you ever been to a math club party? they party the hardest

Law: it's such a competitive major, people even sabotage each other by tearing pages out of law books at the library! you know when they finally relax they party the hardest

Astronomy: night is the perfect time to see the stars, but dude that's not all they get up to after hours, fuckers party the hardest

Theatre: duh, ever heard of a "wrap party?" they party the hardest

Spanish: queero uno cervesa y un tequila por favor! fiestan mas duro

Aviation/Flight: airline pilots are notorious drunks because they party the hardest

Philosophy: if you knew that when you graduated you'd be in debt to the federal government to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars for a loving philosophy degree, you'd be drunk as gently caress all the time, too. They definitely party the hardest

Seriously, that urban legend drives me bonkers, along with "X building was built for Y nefarious purpose" and "she gave the entire football team oral sex and had to have her stomach pumped"

Dickus Episode V

quote:

This troper was spurned by two girls (sluts) in 10th grade. The following year we all went on a glorified camping trip for the botany class we all attended... and there, that night, this troper found both of the girls that snubbed him making out and going at it. They must have heard me rustling or something, because they came over and caught me with my pants down, literally.

But when they saw my erm, trouser snake (it's about the length of a ruler) they wanted a piece of me instead! Though after it ended, they both became Tsunderes toward him and would only be nice in private. Provided they could play with my privates, If You Know What I Mean!

nothin' wrong with a lady drinkin' alone in her room
The big rumor on my college campus was that one of the dorms used to be a mental hospital where all sorts of gruesome experiments had taken place, that workmen had found all sorts of evidence of Satan worship when converting it, that there'd been tons of suicides over the years, blah blah blah. I had friends who were genuinely afraid to walk by them at night, even though it was the quickest way home from the bars.

It was all bullshit, of course. It had been a hospital, but it was more like a retreat for rich people with tuberculosis. No student had ever committed suicide there. Totally wouldn't be surprised to hear that the rumors are still going strong, though. Or that every other college campus has a similar story.

I actually believe that story. The guy was a dick to a girl because he secretly was obsessed with her, so he showed this by being mean to her. You know, like a 5 year old would.

I find all the "we gave him a bunch of Viagra as a joke" stories amazing as that poo poo sells for $40-70 per pill unless it's the b.s. Ones from the Internet. In which case they likely wouldn't work anyway.

Also you need to get erect for them to work, they don't force an erection. So unless they are getting a boner studying nothing would happen anyway. Other than passing out due to low blood pressure and probably a raging headache.

I believe Ute is actually a Native American tribe, so it would be a bit rude to use that word for our large-stuff-hauling-vehicles-with-many-wheels.

Also, my dad is from England and he would use our full names when we were in trouble. *shrug* But I have two middle names, so if all four come out to play, I'm probably dead.

Concert

quote:

This troper went to see a concert by his favourite cabaret group. They caught him singing along halfway through and loaned him a microphone for the big finale. He sang on stage with his favourite singer, singing a duet. Then the audience assumed he was actually a plant and asked for autographs after the show. Win.

Class

quote:

This troper had a classmate in a night class, and the two students often walked the same route after class was over. While walking home one night, a man jumped out of the bushes in the park with a knife, demanding money. This troper's friend, after telling him her wallet was in her backpack, reached back like she was going to get it, and instead whipped out the steel t-square poking out of her backpack and nailed him in the side of the head with the same motion. It was like watching a loving sword draw in the movie. And then, for good measure, she hit him again before the two students ran off to get the cops. loving. Awesome.

Acid

quote:

This troper's karate instructor had a crowning moment of awesome 34 years ago. When he was a senior in college someone broke into his apartment to get drug money. The guy had a 12 gauge shotgun and bottle with some liquid in it. To make a long story short my instructor disarmed the dude, the bottle broke during this in which contained acid as a result lost his left eye when the acid got on his face and still beat the living poo poo out of the dude. My instructor punched the dude so hard in the face that he busted the guys skull even after the acid got on his face, but the dude had so many drugs and such in his system he didn't feel anything or very little. My instructor only regret in this deal is that he didn't kill the dude when it happened.

Shot

quote:

This troper has been told his life is either a continuous CMOA or a run of Deified Natural 20s. Examples? Normally, he comes across as a clumsy, graceless buffoon, but in an instance where he entered an all out brawl involving rednecks and college fratboys, he took three roid-raged rednecks out with something that onlookers described as "Jet Li poo poo". What he had done was rush straight at three of the largest, leap into a chest kick on one, use momentum to vault towards the other two, grab the second in a headlock and drive the heel of his GBX Motorcycle Boot into the face of the third. He has also been shot, stabbed, poisoned, severely shocked / electrocuted, drowned, hit by a van while riding his bike, only to get up and walk 3 miles to work with the scraps of his bike in one arm while the other was pulling gravel out of his flesh, and involved in a few explosions.
