Things I learned this weekend:<\/p>\n

  • beer pong is a game consisting of 9 cups on each of the side table half-filled with beer where opposing players try to \\”knock\\” out a cup by throwing a ping pong ball into the cup; the opposing team must drink the cup of beer that is \\”knocked out\\”<\/li>\n
  • stay away from the guy waving a permanent marker<\/li>\n
  • if a police officer is called to a party where he sees two people swing dancing through the front window, it\\’s no cause to cite a noise violation because that\\’s truly young people having fun<\/li>\n
  • I can still withstand any huge level of peer pressure to drink. woohoo!<\/li>\n
  • Having someone sit across four people with me under the most weight…is actually quite suffocating<\/li>\n
  • I am the only one I know who believed staying a little bit<\/i> means about 1.5 hour<\/li>\n
  • other people aren\\’t as good at keeping track of time at a party<\/li>\n
  • the pick-up line do you yahooo?<\/i> does not work (on me)<\/li>\n
  • GPS systems for cars are quite accurate<\/li>\n
  • route 28 from Pittsburgh to North PA is actually quite a nice drive if you\\’re with good company (and good music)<\/li>\n
  • Ben actually played bass in a band and no the name of the band was not My Band<\/i><\/li>\n
  • you can really finish a SAUI (programming) project on the way to Clearfield from Pittsburgh<\/li>\n
  • there are still some gas stations out there that don\\’t use a credit card machine at each pump<\/li>\n
  • some burgers in real life are really larger than they look in pictures<\/li>\n
  • sadly, I don\\’t think I can ever finish a 2 lb burger<\/li>\n
  • the pub challenge does not allow one to use silverware, anybody\\’s help, but you can obviously use your drinks to help you<\/li>\n
  • the bun and the patty are quite good<\/li>\n
  • the 6 lb burger takes 1.5 hour to cook and the 15 lb burger takes 3 hours to cook. might be a good idea to call ahead of time to order.<\/li>\n
  • the pub is generally full of large men who think they can finish large plates of food<\/li>\n
  • only 2 (small) women have ever finished the 6 lb burger<\/li>\n
  • a large family of 11 people cannot even finish the 15 lb burger. they had a quarter left when they were about done.<\/li>\n
  • so what if you don\\’t win, a t-shirt only costs $15. no clothing tax in PA!<\/li>\n
  • people from over 9 countries have come to attempt the burger<\/li>\n
  • the servers don\\’t keep track of whether any of the contestants have gone to the bathroom to purge during the 3 hour time limit for the 6 lb burger<\/li>\n
  • Punxsutawney<\/a>, home of Groundhog Phil made famous in the movie Groundhog Day<\/i>, is only two hours away from Pittsburgh<\/li>\n
  • a medium size soft serve cone is actually quite large by my standards<\/li>\n
  • Dave loves John Deere, especially its toys<\/li>\n
  • Carol will always drive faster than Ben, by any means<\/li>\n
  • attempting the 6 lb burger means that I won\\’t feel hungry for at least 2 days<\/li>\n
  • If you arrive at the theater 10 minutes pass the showing time, the movie will not have started yet<\/li>\n
  • Cameron Crowe\\’s new movie Elizabethtown<\/i> was actually quite a disappointment<\/li>\n
  • A movie full of sideways glances, one-liners, great music, great imagery does not equal a great movie<\/li>\n
  • Trailers are deceiving<\/li>\n
  • leftover burgers still make great meatballs in pasta<\/li>\n
  • it takes at least two boxes of Jiffy cornbread to make a loaf and 6 muffins<\/li>\n
  • there are some people who are naturally indecisive and deciding something for them is easier than persuading them to make a decision<\/li>\n
  • the view of Pittsburgh is always beautiful from Mt. Washington at night<\/li>\n
  • don\\’t attempt to bring a \\”picnic dinner\\” to Mt. Washington and expect to eat it outside in mid-October. it\\’s too windy and too cold.<\/li>\n
  • the way I pronounce certain words will amuse people no matter what<\/li>\n
  • even as much as I don\\’t want to watch tv, I will always find myself downstairs with my roommate watching Desperate Housewives and Grey\\’s Anatomy every Sunday night<\/li>\n
  • Parker House and Theory<\/a> will<\/i> come to play at CMU!<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
