Everyone’s Favorite Super Bowl Game
After focus groups prevented me from playing The Bachelor’s Rose Ceremony Game on Monday night and Lost bingo on Tuesday night, you better believe nothing’s getting in the way of my (sub-par) Super Bowl boxes on Sunday night.
As you can see, Charles and I have an uphill battle going into the game. But he’s a lucky dude and there are 9 ways to win. For those wanting to play along, here are the deets:
$20/box / 1st quarter - $150 / Half-time - $300 / 3rd quarter - $150 / Final - $1100
Additionally, the “four touchers” of the final score box will get $50 each and reverse score wins $100.
So start your own tomorrow at work or with your party on Sunday. Or just root for me.
"College!" Observations
1. Facebook vs. Evite? Evite meet Friendster. Friendster, Evite. After receiving an invite to my sis’ graduation bbq through facebook, I realized the end may be near for friend evite. 
2. Virginia Tech and Unity. I was surprised not to hear anything about this in the speeches or a moment of silence. How quickly we forget? Or a testament to the strength of the campus and us?
3. Parents don’t want to be the old parents. Seriously, they are obsessed with when the other students’ were conceived (parents’ ages) and if they have other older children.
4. Drinking game innovation. Whether you call it beer pong or beirut in its original form, the game has changed. Not with catching rules or rebutals, but speed. Civil War is essentially speed beirut, as teams compete to shoot and hit all their opponents cups as soon as they balls come to their side.
5. Stop calling us the Entitlement generation. And if you continue, at least give us props for giving back. Peep this do goodery stat from BC - 650 of less than 3000 grads forewent beach spring breaks for community service!
Half-baked thoughts, but wanted to share.
