Kait’s roommate in Providence, R.I. was already pissed that the animal house next door was throwing a party on a Tuesday night before a big exam, but it was the shitty pop-rock that really pushed her over the edge. And like so many other college-aged females, “over the edge” means…colored markers.
Adds Kait: “It didn’t stop the noise, but we did get a [sadly undocumented] written response: “Come by if your [sic] fit and into doggie.”

Hopefully it was not the Sugar Ray that sold out and went pop. If I remember correctly a few of their first albums were punk rock similar to the subhumans

How disappointed Kait’s roommate was, after calling up her friends and asking, before holding the phone out to the offending music,”Who the shit is that?” to be told it was Sugar Ray. From the layout of the page you can see that Kait’s roommate was hoping that the music was from a one-name band.

How in the hell were they listening to Sugar Ray?
Were they watching the TV Guide channel? Or is it Entertainment Tonight? Inside Edition?
Maybe next we can put on John Tesh’s latest CD and rock the house down.

Ok, so assuming that these kids are 19-21 years old (college aged), that means that in 1996 they were just starting their school careers.
How in the hell do they know who Sugar Ray is?
My 13 y/o stepson asked me to pick him up last night, and told me he was at the corner of “Duane and Kirk” and I said “Kirk? Like Kirk Cameron?” – I got crickets.
I am old.

They listen to Sugar Ray. They like it from behind. WTF do they need the girls for at their party, even the fit ones?

Funny, coming from kids these days, I am pleasantly suprised at the completeness of this note.
I expected it to say: “We ♥ music 2, but y so loud? Srsly, WTF? Sugar Ray?”
But the fact that these girls were trying to study that night does say something for today’s youth. Hopefully they will be the ones taking care of us when we are old and infirm.

The next band on the playlist is undoubtedly “Douche Patrol”.

Mean Machine Mean Machine! It’s long and slick and olive green! personally i think a house call from the cops would have worked better than the sign.

At least those frat boys have progressed into the 90s. If you walk around fraternity row at the college I teach at, you still hear the Steve Miller Band and Ratt.

Someday
After I’ve screwed college guys
I lay around and rub my eyes…what got into me
So gay
It’s too loud to wonder why
We got a room next to the CHIs
they are so lame
Get on your knees and remove your under wear
doggie style, they do it there
You’ll get drunk and get GHB
Then pull a train while you’re asleep.
Some say
Antibiotics will make it go away
but they don’t know you slept with Tre
He’s a walking STD
No way
You won’t go back another time
And pull another Sophomore line
those guys were lame
So fucking lame
The music’s loud but they don’t care
It’s Sugar Ray, man, he’s so rare
Dude, he’s the host on that show ET
He’s been lame since 2003

Funny, I hear 90s music coming from the room in the back of my house all the time.
But Nirvana is no Sugar Ray. I teach my children to appreciate GOOD music.

Drinking!? In college?! On a Tuesday night!? Heavens no!
Shit, even both times I went to the library I brought some roadies.
In fact, the FB status of a friend of mine right now says, “Killing two birds with one stone: writing my paper and getting drunk! Success!”
Team: work hard and party hard simultaneously

Why did Kait’s roommate think this sign would have results as quickly as she desired? The background doesn’t say where this was posted.
Did she ring there doorbell, hand over the sign, and walk away? Usually one must be fairly deliberate to attract the attention of a party. Even a fluorescent markered sign isn’t going to cut.

Perhaps the neighbors are indie to the max, and think it’s ironic to listen to Sugar Ray …

I think my iPod is linked to PAN.
I keep getting 90s songs all day today (on shuffle).

I guess I am one of the lucky ones.
Whenever I’m in a situation where I sense “tension” in the air, I never feel the need to lash out, use drugs (legal or illegal), drink alcohol, or even smoke cigarettes.
I just find myself a bean bag chair, pull out my ipod, then put on the one song that makes everything instantly better: “Make it with You” by Bread.
It is the perfect song for any occasion: making love, or making anything, really.
At parties, people always love when I play it, because it clues everyone in to the fact that I think it’s the appropriate time to dim the lights, commence with the slow dancing, and, what the hell, we’re all adults, so if anyone wants to get into some discreet heavy petting in the corner, have at it.
But, please, no dry humping on the sofas. (They’re new. Remember the Roche Bobois set? I had to sell them, because of seepage. I like the Poltrano Fraus better anyway. Besides, it just gets the dog excited.)
I imagine “Make it with You” would be the ultimate wanking song, too, but that is something I’ve never done.
I’m saving masturbation for marriage.
I don’t believe in God, but if there was anything that could make me question that belief it’s this song.
******
Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes.
Dreams they’re for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep,
And if youre wondering
What this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.
No, you don’t know me well,
In every little thing only time will tell,
If you believe the things that I do.
And we’ll see it through.
Life can be short or long,
Love can be right or wrong,
And if I choose the one
I’d like to help me through,
I’d like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.
Baby you know that
Dreams they’re for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep
And if I choose the one
I’d like to help me through,
I’d like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

“I’m saving masturbation for marriage.” Quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever read. Now all I have to do is wait for the proper moment to work it into a wedding toast and claim all the glory for myself!

racerx,
I’m happy if you’re happy.
But, seriously, don’t you think that it would be that more special if, on the night of your wedding, that the two of you (husband and wife, presumably) share in experiencing the pleasure of your body?
I do. What’s more, I’m glad that she’ll be there with me as I enjoy me fully and completely.
I’m going to take full advantage of myself. Drain every drop. Strangle the vicar.
I’d like to find a hotel suite with a closet that has a 360 degree mirror alcove (similiar to the one on the show “What Not To Wear.”
I’ll have my wife up on scaffolding above the mirror booth filming my first explosion.
Hopefully she’ll manage to stay ALL the way out of the shot. I don’t want to have the scene ruined by dangling hair or her damn cell phone.
Then, after I’m thoroughly spent, we can climb into the marital bed. She’ll tenderly take my limp tap into her yob, and as I hit the remote and watch myself take me 360, she’ll think that I’m responding to her, which, in a way, it could be argued, I would be — her steady camera work. It’s like a M.C. Escher kaleidoscopic masturbatory dreamed filmed by Fellini at George Lucas’s studios, only without all the existential bullshit that nobody cares about.
As long as she’s happy, I’m happy. Whoever she is. Whoever you are.

Clarification:
I just remembered another one.
So I guess it should be 5 rules:
No guys. (That would be SO gay.)

I think it is sad and pathetic that it has to create it’s own troll so it can have more than a one sided conversation. TOS/POS should go back to Yahoo answers where the rest of the mental masturbating, impressed with their own voice, halfwits drone on and on about unfunny and unconnected twaddle.
But I see that school/daycare has started already. It will be hours before it gets home and mommy gives it a juice box and some cheesy poofs. Then it can sit down and compose some more crapola. For now we wait

better on paper
The other day I was on the bus and some one else had their iPod headphones loud enough that everyone around them could hear their crappy music. I can’t remember exactly what band it was, but I do remember wanting to tap them on the shoulder and go “hey dude, *insert band name here* sucks, oh and turn that shit down”

I can see why Kait’s roommate was upset.
I mean, who ever heard of a loud Frat party?
Aren’t these usually smallish affairs featuring quiet piano bar type music and canapés?

I am entirely loving the Sugar Ray reference. It really brings the whole patronizing nature of the note together. That and the markers.
