Plus, it's not really meant to turn a profit.
Why do they do it then? So confused.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well, they want beer at the party, and this helps defray costs. Also, making sure that only official beer cups are used makes the tracking of minors easier (can't drink if you're under 21 in the US), and is probably a restriction forced upon them by the college.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Raise money for the frat or cover other costs. The budget for student activities may cover some cost of the party as well. I would guess, what, 500 students came to that? They could recover about ~$4000, which pretty much takes care of the cost of alcohol, and maybe the band.

I see that DX is also wasting brain cells on the Polaroid Swinger jingle.
I used to have one. In fact, I may still have it.

Huh. This puts James Garner and Mariette Hartley's relationship in a whole new light.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So the one thing I didn't understand was what the deal with the bomb threat was, other than to show how lazy the Sherrif's Dept is. Were we supposed to infer one of the characters called it in to try to somehow stop the rape?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Veronica called it in, because she thought the police couldn't ignore it (Surprise!) whereas she's had bad experiences reporting rape to the cops before.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Yeah, I think Veronica called it in, since she knew how well the Sheriff's office would deal with a rape call.
Eta: X-Post!

Ah. I apparently missed when she actually made the call.

It was off-screen as far as I can tell.
