The List

So I'm sitting on the couch watching a very important television show when Chris comes running in with obviously big news to deliver,
"So I was looking at this list that just came out that ranked the top 50 college bars and guess who is #1?"
I respond with,
"The Brail? I mean the Rail, I mean the Bar?"
"No, Duffys." he replies.
"Who?" I ask.
"Duffys."
"Who?"
"Duffys."
Exactly. It's not that I don't like Duffys, because I think it's a great chill bar in all... But it's not exactly the first bar on my list to stop at when I'm back in town. It's not even on my list. Drinking out of a fish bowl is fun like once, maybe twice. Then again it could have been the rum and diet fish bowl that just ruined me for life I suppose. I guess I should just be thankful a Nebrasky bar made the list, and number one at that. The Wheel at KU also made the list, and this whole time I thought the wheel sold only pizza. I was kinda sad/happy to see that the Hawk didn't make the cut. I don't know why, but I feel like the Hawk is like a Lincoln bar's older cousin who is very similar, but for some reason just thinks they are that much cooler and can just boss everyone around. But just for our cousin's sake let's all take a moment to think about the fun times had there.... That is probably one of the few things I am happy about regarding graduating college during the time I did, being able to experience the fun of Lawrence. How sad for the little ones these days having to party at Iowa. Ewww.

But besides the fun of reading the bar list and being able to cross off a few I have been to in the area, the other entertaining aspect was reading the angry comments college students posted beneath it. Of course each student was claiming to be from the "biggest drinking school," and had the reputation for having a campus that was noted for "consuming the most alcohol on any given weekend." Newsflash idiots- every campus has a drinking problem. I really don't see how any college can claim to drink more alcohol than another, I mean unless you're from UNO because everyone knows UNL drinks more. I kid I kid. But really, who is to judge which school is a bigger party school than another? There was actual comment arguments forming between people on which bars were missing from the list and which bars didn't belong on it. I'm gonna guess that if you are taking the time to comment fight about this particular subject there is a good chance you have never even been to a bar, and Brothers doesn't count.

So TGIT. This means it's almost the weekend. And I am returning to Norfolky for a few days to celebrate Jade's wedding. Oh wait, that was last year at this time, damn it. I think if I could do that wedding weekend over again I would do two things:
1. Not fall asleep in a plate of nachos in my wedding rehearsal dinner dress on my parents couch.
2. Not let a Norfolk stylist do my hair to look like I was the 5th member of Flock of Seagulls. Even as I was taking the pictures at the church I was thinking to myself how it would only be a matter of minutes before I would look back on these pictures and think, what in the hell is going on with my hair. Most people can at least give themselves ten years. My photo could have been sent into Ellen the very next day to be shown on her "What was I thinking" segment of bad family photos.
