So the Princeton Review is out with another list of party schools, and oh joy, oh rapture, UW Madison is in the Top Ten. A few years ago we were on top of the list, fell off for a while, and now we're at #8.
Now I know there are a lot of colleges out there that probably fit the parameters of the title "Party School," but because of their size or location, don't show up on those big time lists.
So, thanks to the help of the inimitable and irrascible Joe Thompson, who filled in for Jonathan today, here's a list of things to look out for when you're trying to determine if your school is a party school.
1. A question on your calculus final starts this way, "There are 100 bottles of beer on the wall..."
2. A popular class is entitled "Beer terminology in Modern American Lexicon." (Prerequisite: "Wine Coolers 101")
3. Philosophy 100 question: "Tastes Great or Less Filling? Explain."
4. You can get phy. ed. credit for Beer Pong.
5. Keith Richards gave your commencement address, and 3 months later, he still hasn't left.

The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
Last week, I decided I would try one new, healthy food a week, and asked my facebook friends to make some suggestions.
The first thing I tried was mango. I'm sure I've had other mango flavored things, and mango as part of something else, but...
There's only one thing that might be worse than the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And that's Jonathan Suttin doing his best crooning...doing both parts. Most unpleasant.
A lot of people liked this song...
Artist: Alchemilla
Hail From: Boston
Song: 'The Wheel'
Album: Diamonds From The Penny Arcade
Sounds Like: Hole, Pearl Jam
In Their Words: "Alchemilla had been trying to write a ballad for a little while but it wasn't happening. There...
Last weeks challenge we thought went excellent! Of course we are a little biased.
The drinking song couldn't have been any better, or any less fun. We had a blast through out the whole process, and our performance rocked.
This week is an easy...
So the story goes Michael Jackson completed this song while watching cartoons with Paul McCartney. We'll just let that sink in for a moment.
Not sure what cartoons they were watching, but it must have worked because this song made it to number 2...
The Dalai Lama is back in town, sharing his message of peace and kindness with likeminded individuals, and the Wisconsin legislature. He also held a private meeting with Gov. Walker, who said he mostly listened to what His Holiness had to say (wise...
This duet by Ol' Blue Eyes and his daughter went all the way to number 1 back in 1967. It seems a little creepy that Frank and Nancy Sinatra are singing a love song. However, a lot of Triple M listeners were in the mood for it.
