Penn State Club Croquet is a club shrouded in mystery. We’ve all seen them on campus, in their light blue pinnies, or at football games in their cutoff jean shorts and faux mustaches. Many of us have even come across the infamous “Croq house” also known as the “Bro-quet house.” These dedicated members have created quite a stir on campus, priding themselves in going over the top in everything they do; the sillier, the better.
The news of Jerry Sandusky's charges has brought up many emotions. Unfortunately, many people are focusing on the wrong issue. Let's not think about how this hurt PSU, but rather how PSU can help.
Last night, Altoona locals Eyes Wide performed along side Russell Dauberman and Andrew Woomer at Waring Commons for The Asylum Haiti fundraiser. With a five dollar donation at the door, students relaxed to an acoustic setting that reminded me of a camp fire or an open-mic night at a cafe.
The first time I got in a fight, I was sleeping on a couch after a night of drinking. Some kid though I looked at his johnson while he was peeing outside, so he dragged me off the couch and punched me three times in the jaw. I didn’t fight back, which is something I’ve always regretted. Since then, I have refrained from fighting, mostly because I’m a glasses-wearer.
You hear a scuffle from across the bar. Loud, incoherent shouts coupled with angry grunts and tumbling bar stools. Sighhhh... yet another drunken buffoon trying to prove his dominance like a male chimpanzee.
Okay, I get it. Males need to prove their dominance because of the structure of our society. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, only the strong shall survive, it’s a man’s world…BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
Although I believe that these drunken tirades are pointless, I have to admit that they are utterly entertaining.
I’ve noticed that each male fight almost always follows the same dialogue, listed below are some of my favorites.
