I almost forgot that I was Secretary of the Inter Fraternity Council for a year or so in college. Can't remember why I thought that was a good idea. Got a few funny stories out of it though.

I was "V.P. Internal" of our chapter.
Meant I ordered beer and arranged the weekly parties.
An awesome responsibility.

It's Ogre, not "meathead" and while Revenge of the Nerds was a pretty formative movie for me (watched at a slumber party at some kid's house when I was no older than 5th or 6th grade) and I'll still occasionally quote it ("That's my pie!", it's all in the inflection) it's definitely problematic in ways that a pre-teen in the mid-80s couldn't appreciate. Just in case you forgot some of the details and were gonna hunker down to watch for family movie night.

Exactly the same for me. Haven't seen it since, but I'm guessing it's pretty rapey by today's standards. Weren't they spying on girls getting dressed? Classic 80s comedy excuse to get some boobies into the movie.

It’s super-rapey. With an added sweetener of its not rape if you fuck her into liking it with your surprise large cock.
Re: Swamp Kids in College Thread
Not pretty rapey, actual rapey. Plus voyeurism that would land you in jail for a long time. Especially if you take into account one of the kids was 12.The Sybian wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 8:58 amExactly the same for me.

Still a funny fucking movie though. I think the most underrated scene is Toshiro riding the tricycle. The music in the background when he's winning is so good.

And I thought Lewis was an attentive, caring lover/rapist, not that he was necessarily well hung.

Yeah, I thought she loved when he raped her because he went down on her when the football player wouldn't.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: Swamp Kids in College Thread
So, my daughter came home in mid-November. All her classes are online anyway. But with a new quarter starting, and her missing the boyfriend, we agreed to take her back to UW in Seattle, in the most covid-avoidant way we could.
So, yesterday, we drove 480 miles north to central Oregon. The boyfriend drove down from Seattle to meet us. Today, the wife, dog and I drove back home,while our daughter and the boyfriend drove to Seattle.
960 miles. I’m tired.

Re: Swamp Kids in College Thread
my daughter (freshman) goes back on Sunday - they don't start classes for another week but are having everyone test on campus twice. like a massive self-quarantine. Thus far they've done a pretty good job keeping covid mostly at bay. last semester was about 50-50 in terms of online v in-person classes but apparently they're shooting for majority in-person this coming semester.
Not entirely sure how it's going to work (e.g. do they have to be confined to their dorms?) - i'm just numb to everything.

Re: Swamp Kids in College Thread
The youngest got accepted to Carolina the other day. It was early action, not early decision, so he doesn't have to decide yet. He's still waiting on two other schools (Wake and Wash U), but I'm pretty sure that even if gets in all three, he wants to be a Tar Heel.

Re: Swamp Kids in College Thread
...good stuff...also have to bet that having your kid at a different ACC School than you support can be offset by the significant tuition savings for in state UNC v. Wake V. Wash U tuition.

Re: Swamp Kids in College Thread
Good news, Dave! (Also, funny that he is rejecting one of your alma maters and going to the rival of your other alma mater.)
My daughter also rejected my alma mater. They offered a fat scholarship, but she is a much better student than I was, and thus got accepted to better schools than I did.

I never remember that schools like Syracuse and Boston College are in the ACC. To me that conference will always be the lower eastern seaboard.

Re: Swamp Kids in College Thread
Well, he hasn't rejected Wash U yet. I'm not sure how interested he is though. He may just be doing it because his parents went there. I do think he's interested in their biz/cs joint program though. Hell, he may not get it. It's way harder to get in than when we went there.sancarlos wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 3:58 pm Good news, Dave!

And yeah, Carolina is a huge savings to us, so our retirement funds certainly would prefer that over the private schools. He is applying for a scholarship to Wake, but I don't know how likely that is.

Re: Swamp Kids in College Thread
I have yet to meet a person who has seen it go the other way. Especially at schools like Wash U, W&L. Ivys, etc. However, the state schools have gotten tougher (probably at a faster rate due to tuition increases). The only case where that may not be true is state schools with special programs lke the Hope scholarships (UGA) and auto admission from a satellite campus/Juco after 1 or 2 years of performance. And that is not saying it is easier but rather just stable.
But the college profs I have spoken to say kids are way less prepared for college than we were. Which may just be old profs being fuddy duddys because the kids now have 75 APs, 3 jobs, 4 majors and a minor/concentration, 74 extra curriculars, 3 season athletes (captain of all), and their own startup company.
