Now tagless for your comfort.

Could someone explain the 10 dollar beer cup to me. Does it afford you unlimited access to the keg? How do frats turn a profit on that?

Well, I know some states have tricksy liquor laws. You can't sell alcohol without a license. If you sell someone a $10 cup and they're allowed free beer, you get around that law. Now you just need to make sure minors aren't buying the cups so you don't get busted for contributing to the deliquency.

Um...not that I've been there, done that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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

Yeah, and it was confirmed when Keith lambasted Sacks for not taking action. I don't think we needed to see a passport scene of Veronica dialing a phone.

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.

Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention to the dorm/house names but as it played out in the episode, it just seemed like a really wierd aside.

What is even happening?

We're guessing Veronica called it in, from what Keith said, down at the sheriff's office. We weren't shown, right?

Art Crawl!!!

No, we weren't shown it but I made the leap when I heard Keith's complaint.

It's always Benes Hall. That's where everything happens, since that's where Parker, Piz, Wallace, Mercer, and Moe all live.

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

Regarding the 10 dollar cup: Oh. Oh oh. I'm gonna have to correct more than one or two fallacies in my understanding of what frats and sororities are and how they relate to the college.

I thought they had only the loosest affiliation with the college and really only functioned as a weirdly evolved form of off-campus student accomodation.

I don't know why I thought that's what they were. Though considering my knowledge of the system has been gleaned from Road Trip and Andrea Zuckerman's conflicted feeling about sororities maybe I do.

Well, they're not established by the colleges. Like many other student groups with official on-campus presence, they're separate organizations that get permission to establish a chapter on-campus. So they're loosely affiliated in that sense. They're not part of the college's offerings. College students, instead, join them, and perpetuate their presence on campus. That makes more sense in my head.
