  3. and then drink, drank, drunk, eat them biscuits, puke, and thrash the neighborhood.

    Missing on that list is the mecca of them all fratdouchebro bar 13th Step. Santacon is their annual pilgrimage to visit their unholy place of them all.

  6. Christmas has officially jumped the shark. It's time to cancel the holiday completely.

    Christian holiday celebrating birth of Christ -> consumer shopping frenzy -> drunken hooliganism.

  8. Agree with East Villager @ 12:20... The only difference is I usually avoid the inside of places like 13th step, but today I have to avoid the whole block...
