i beg to differ.

i went to a house party where someone put sticky notes up in the kitchen that said "we are going to be renovating our cabinets next week. if you want to help us with the demolition, please, go right ahead". 5 guys just instantly started trashing the kitchen as soon as they saw those notes , but alas, the family was not doing any renovations

i've also heard of (and saw pictures of) a party where a dude took a chainsaw and just started cutting up walls. that was also in really small logging city :cornlol:
nah im talkin good house parties where DJ's who've been booked to play sets that night go back to the house parties and play sets at the houses... remember Plump DJ's doing it a few times whilst i was there

the house parties are next level, 200 people is considered quite small, fuck off rigs in dingy basements

the best parties are the parties in the big communal houses where like, 10-15 people live in these dilapidated old mansions

when they do those house parties where there's 3 or more rooms of music and weird shit everywhere,those are the ones im talkin about

one of mine got shut down by about 20 police :lol: we jus opened the back door and let everyone in again

Its weird how different shit goes down. At parties here, folk just bring as much booze as they can carry in the form of spirits and tinnies of lager.

Cant be arsed quoting it but I think it was kidshuffle maybe, who said that folk pay 10 bucks each for a keg, 20 folk turn and thats the keg paid for. Doesnt a keg contain 88 pints? If I invited 20 mates round to mine for a kegger and all i had for them was 4.4 pints each they'd be fucking raging.

In the American Pie films and what not there's always like 100 folk kicking about. If most of them are drinking from the keg, all night. Surely you'd need to take out a loan to finance all these kegs for your party?

Oh and ive always wondered about fraternities and shit. Is the stuff you see on shit like old school and animal house true? All this initiation pish? Over here, if someone told you that you could be in there club at uni, all you had to do was be their bitch and take a paddle to the ass 20 times youd be told to ram it...

No disrespect meant here by the way, your parties sound amazing over there, its just pretty foreign to us.

Surprised that you guys have rugby teams over there to be honest. Having said that we have university American football teams over here...

Though from what i hear it's extremely beneficial to be involved in a team. Mate of mine has a golf scholarship for a college in Tennessee (cant remember which one though) and he says that if anyone hands anything in late, or gets low test scores all they do is say they had (insert sport here) commitments and they get extensions and resits that the normal students wouldn't get... Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.

First Christmas he came back he tried to teach us all the rules of beer pong. Fucking sucked at it though... We stuck to ring of fire :W:

Got a few mates in Uni Rugby teams and some of the things they have done/ made others do is horrific. On one tour they made a guy hold a rock which people would piss or shit on!

Birthday time in the hostel I was in was called blackballing.
They shaved you naked and covered you with black shoe polish.
They then placed you in a large water drain and pissed, puked, shat on you.

One guy jumped out of a double story window to avoid it and broke his arm.
They never found out when my birthday was.
Thank goodness I lfet the next year.

There are some basic ones, you can make up your own rules if you want, make sure you get some nasty drinks in the centre cup though!

There are loads of different names for ring of fire depending on where you're from, so chances are you might have played it... I think you guys over the water call it kings.

And the rules differ with everyone, cause you can make up your own rules for each card (ace - king) in a deck. Which can make the game as tame or lethal as you want.

If you havent heard of it, wiki gives you loads of suggestions and shit for different card variations.
