I'd Hate to Be Their Parents

May 19, 2007

I can’t do this justice. Just click here.
Today’s question….
Whose parents are more embarrassed–those of the guy that came up with this plan? Or those of the guy that heard the cockamamie idea and went along with it?
I’m voting for the latter. The former can just say the boy just wasn’t ever that bright. The latter has to deal with the reality that their son is foolish AND weak.
Mikey, please explain to the people why getting shot is a dreadful idea.

I wanna know what it was they were trying to AVOID in intake that made getting shot sound like a more palatable alternative?! And how they arrived on shooting each other instead of, as mentioned in the story, just breaking a bone or something. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall listening to these dummies discuss this plan. Fools.

At least you all get to laugh. I had to handle the media on this cockamamie B.S.

yea definitely the second parents. it's not a crime to come up with a dumb idea. the problem comes when someone else doesn't see how dumb the idea is and goes along with it. So the second kid is just a dumbass. And trust me there ain't that much pledging in the world that would make me want to get shot. And if you're that afraid of intake then you shouldn't be Greek. It's not for the faint of heart...well some folks just get to sign up...but that's a different story all together

Glad to see that the article did not blame the fraternity for this foolishness. But seriously, what in the hell were they trying to avoid?!

Well, this is what happens when you mix drug abuse with watching "School Daze" and the Chappelle Show skit "World Series of Dice." They probably were sitting somewhere jiggin' (Baton Rouge-area slang for taking ecstasy and other hallucinogens) watchin Chappelle Show and saying "say bruh, if someone shoot us in the leg like on that dice skit, we wouldn't be able to get in the cut." I do agree baba, the fool that was actually talked into shooting someone else...and then pulling the trigger. What a hamster brain!!

So getting shot is less painful that fraternity hazing. Doesn't bode well for fraternities.

Had I not already seen this article, I'd have bet $1,000 it was two rednecks. I'd even suggest submitting this to the Darwin Awards for an honorable mention.

I've been shot. Nothing cool about it. Like Katt Williams said " there was no music playing, no chicks came out crying or anything like that"
