You can always tell a drunken Harvard student - you just can't tell him much

The Crimson reports record numbers of Harvard students are showing up at the university clinic dead drunk - the economy is to blame, of course - and that college officials are worried about an upcoming event that mixes "alcohol and fire," which they are thinking is not the best of ideas.

Meanwhile, Harvardians tired of spoiling their own nest (vomit is so hard to get out of those 500-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets) can always go slumming at Tufts, which, as the paper informs its readers, is a school much like Harvard, only with fewer attractive people - but with more parties.

Rick Sawyer suggests really daring H-shirters try MIT next time.

Malcom Gladwell comments on booze in the latest New Yorker mag, and how pure alcohol consumption doesn't always lead to certain destructive behaviors. It reminds me of one of the GREAT episodes of "The Honeymooners": Ralph brings home a carafe of wine that is surreptitiously replaced with grape juice. Later Ralph and Norton start swigging the stuff and get almost falling-down drunk anyway.

vomit is so hard to get out of those 500-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets

When our teen got a full size bed, I found some 600 thread count sheets on clearance for $30 at Target.

He got sick during a bout of stomach flu a couple of weeks back, and the sheets not only protected the mattress with their tightly woven magic fabric, they are like farking teflon when it comes to barf and other bodily fluids! I would have gotten better sheets for them in younger barfier days if I knew how much time and clean up it would have saved!
