Party Like a Frat Boy
Sebastian St. Croix poses the question: "Wouldn’t it be great if we could somehow maintain that college spirit until the day when we are truly ready to settle down?" I have one suggestion. Kickball.
I joined a team this season through my company. It's basically a cheap excuse to party like college frat boys for 5 hours on a Tuesday night. I walked into Porters after my first ever kickball game, nose high in the air (I wasn't up for chugging beer with the plebians). 10 minutes later, I had a beer in my hand. 30 minutes later, I was screaming and high-fiving the girls team as we annihilated the boys 5-0 in a round of flip cup. It's easy to sneer. Kickball events are so un-young-professional-ish. And if I hadn't been participating, I would have wanted to kick my own annoying ass. Regardless, it really is fun...

I'm not making fun of fraternities. I'm making fun of late 20-somethings who still pretend to be in one.
I suck at kickball too. That's what the flip cup is for...

What about late 20-somethings that are actually in sororities, like ARL?

you mean dyarts aka yard darts?
I'm down.

Or glorified frats called 'Men's Clubs?'
Just to clarify...ARL is not real (although the girls and all their boobs are), it's just a spoof.

It's official. You're hot, but you're also a DC Metro dork. Why not just join the Rock Scissors Paper tournaments? (Please don't, there really is such a thing)

I guess you could join a glorified sorority...the Junior League. :)
And, for the record, we DO NOT have t-shirts w/ names on the back.

Just a general observation: Cookie has the classic female "lean in" pose down to perfection in most of her photographs.
I'm sure Cookie would earn high marks, even from the Russians, if it were judged like gymnastics or diving.

Is it sad that I both want to play kickball (for the fratasticness) and junior league (for the sohorityness)...?
I plead the ignorance of my youth.
