Well, it's the middle of finals week and I need a ray of sunshine into this otherwise dark and depressing hole of a week. So, what do the lot of you plan to do with your summer breaks (those of you who are in University get out soon like me, the high schoolers have to wait a while though). Personally, I'm looking forward to only having two classes (genetics and advanced organic chem) and some light research work this summer (genetics research!)... leaving me with ample time to ruin my brain with any substance I can get my hands on. Oh yeah, I expect to play A LOT of beer pong.... a lot. I'm living with my buddies in a HUGE place this summer so there's nothing to do most of the time but get hammered and cause trouble. Last summer we managed to get naked and jump into the pond at the apartment complex and steal the fountain from the middle of the pond. Anyway, enough about me, what're YOU doing over your summer break?

A) schools been out since beginning of April *cackle*
B) You Americans play a wussy version of Beer Pong. Not nearly enough drinking in your versions.

I get to stay up at MSU.

:(

Going to Alberta and working as a forest ranger for the summer. The hippie-ness of this job still astonishes me. :D

I am getting drunk, high, vacations to NJ, vacations to Maine, doing nothing but sitting here spamming, swimming in my pool, looking at porn, if my.. "plants" ever take off.. I will be gardening :D :eek: ;)

I have this ffeling you are going to get high and burn down.. what you are protecting.

I have two finals tomorrow and one on Thursday. :headbang:

But then I'm free!!! Sort of...I'll still be working. I'm staying with some friends over the summer, so hopefully I'll have some fun, although we're not likely to do anything so exciting as fountain stealing, and we're more likely to stay up too late playing rpg's than to get wasted.

Now back to studying...

I went with the school option in the poll, but with this caveat:

Although I will be taking a class and working on my big essay, with the goal of finishing all of my graduate work by August; I also plan to be working. This will allow me to pay for at least some of my tuition and residence expense, as well as giving me the occasional infusions of cash to party with my pals and maybe even play tourist a little bit as I vacation not two states away, but three provinces away (Not to mention within my own town).

So really, just about every option applies.

1. Training the dog so he can receive his therapy dog certification this fall.
2. Working for cash monies.
3. Going for some sweet-ass SCUBA diving off of Santa Catalina Island so I can finally put my certification to use.
4. Working with the Red Cross to aid the people north of Nashville who had their lives destroyed by the tornadoes a few weeks ago.
5. BOOZE.
6. Apparently cutting a switchback trail down the hill upon which we live.

You should drop by IU and experience our pong for the true greatness that it is. One on one, no doubles crap. Anyway, when we run out of beer, we play with hard stuff. And when I mean we play with hard stuff, I mean we fill the cups with water and for every cup of water you lose, half a shot is taken (without the water in them, the cups would be unstable and half a shot isn't enough to impart stability to the cups) Anyway, I don't need to tell you that no one plays more than two games before retiring (at least typically).

Ah to be young and not worry about what to do in the summer.(Which i'm not)

Me? High? NEVAR! :p

Don't worry, I'd never harm a forest no matter how...chemically affected I was.

St. Patties I played Irish Car-bomb Beer Pong. Half-pint of Guiness... when its sunk, drop a shot of baileys in and chug'er down.

We play singles here too, but from what I've heard you gotta sink it a few times in order to drink. Ours are two shots, every sink is one drink, two balls in seperate cups is two drinks with return of balls, two sunk in one cup is drink three or four depending on the house and the return of the balls, a bounce shot is two, and a sink in the "Master" cup or the persons drinking cup results in a game-over and must drink everything on the table. Needless to say, protect your god-damn master cup. Theres more rules, but who cares. Lets get drunk.

I’m going to be spending most of the summer making a 3-D computer RPG with a few friends of mine, pwning n00bs, and busing tables at a nearby Italian restaurant.

Hahahah, oh man. Irish Carbombs are intense. And what about the Jameson? You can't forget the Jameson with the Baileys!

Yeah see, everyone thinks theres Jamesons in it... there have been some hot debates on it. Having been to England and Ireland, there was no Jamesons in them.

I'm taking classes all summer so I can continue to get veterans benefits. I really don't want to have to fry chicken at KFC any more than necessary.

ill be working. laying concrete. its uber fun in the mid-day heat...

Me? High? NEVAR! :p

Good girl!

*gives you a cookie*

:fluffle:

Egads... but what will we do without our shot of Irish whiskey? Perhaps we will have to take it as an aside?

We play by generally the same rules. You can do blowouts, but only if you're a girl. Hence, our rule of "only bitches can blow". But yeah, same general rules though. We try not to have a master cup, we just drink as quickly as we can to avoid that problem, although visitors are pretty pissed if they resivor their losings and get a ball in their cup. We do have one REALLY godawful rules though. If a ball bounces into your cleaning water cup either out of or off of another cup... you must drink the cleaning water cup. Only one person has ever had this misfortuine and it was right at the beginning of a new game so he didn't suffer too much.

That is the grossest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. Especially since we play in a fiendishly dirty basement.

We have the blowout rule, but anyone can do it. But we also have the cleavage rule where if you get it in the cleavage the girl must flash everyone, hoorah!

We're actually in the process of building a new table out of beercaps in a sweet design. Gonna take awhile but I'll post pictures eventually.

It's getting on for winter here.
