Ergo, act like a normal human being and you’ll be pretty much ignored.

Unless you get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, and like, wrap it around a tree or another human being or something.

Cops will hand out tickets here in Midtown for riding your bicycle while drunk; never happened to me – I wouldn’t be stupid enough to ride a bike or drive drunk (at least now – I did it a few times in IC and it was abysmally stupid) – but I know people that have gotten tickets (or people that know people).

I wasn’t doing anything outrageous, but it was 2 am on Mardi Gras, so I imagine the cops assumed all walkers were drunks. I was helping my roommate get home (from Jakes to Mormon Trek) and we’d made it most of the way without trouble. Apparently our mistake was crossing the street near the UH police station, resulting in our first visit with the arresting officers. After explaining to the cops that we were just minutes from home and were of legal drinking age, we were told to be on our merry way. Later, those same cops chased a car up the UH hill and turned around, only to find us still walking and me carrying a for sale sign that I’d found in the street. That was mistake #2, and was enough to bring out the breathalyzer. My roommate blew a .21, and a blew a paltry .079. We were both arrested and taken to Johnson County, but since I was legally sober, I was charged with impersonating a drunk instead of public intoxication.

We decided it’d be best to just suck it up and spend the next 8 hours in jail, only to find out that the drunk tank was near full, and I had to lay my mat near the shower. Obviously no one slept that night and it was one of the more hilarious evenings I spent in Iowa City. I just wish it hadn’t cost me just shy of $200. My accounting professor was not amused when I had to explain why I missed our test the next morning.

Or hates spelling. I tried to refrain from making any comments, however, because I didn’t want to be that guy that harasses all the new members.

unless its a paper for school or something i generally write like that. just got here man cut me some slack

U gt 2 b joking.

but you may have to get used to idiotspeak lolspeak. It seems to be growing too much to be controlled. Just do like I do, and don’t even read those posts.

…that whole post was four sentences. And I was going to be an English major- – HA!

I actually think – from coming back for games in 97 and 98 – that there was less obnoxious rude drunken behavior in the 80s, when people routinely snuck in alcohol (and it was pretty much winked winked anyway) and now… and this just isn’t Kinnick – where you see incredibly drunk people acting like complete asses at a sporting event where alcohol is restricted or banned.

I’m not anti-alcohol – but its like anything else, you’ve paid for your tickets (which ain’t cheap anymore), you want to have fun – and enjoy the game – and people who are at the point where they need to be carried out or escorted out – that’s not being a “fan having fun” that’s being an idiot.

whats the point of that because thats the reason im going to Iowa. Just kidding but it was a selling point & the fact that my tuition is free there gotta love ROTC scholarships

mwahahaha. Those roaches down there fly, you know. And they also like to dive bomb you from the ceiling when you yawn (fortunately that was my brother, not me).
