To be fair, I don't think someone spiking their popsicles with laxatives or whatever would make Lisa in the wrong. D:

Since it was her idea to go that party wearing slutastic outfits, so everything that happens(good and bad) in that party will be her fault forever. forever

...I... You... You do realize how incredibly problematic it is to say that if you're serious, right?

I'm with Valerie on this one. I'm sure it didn't mean to come out like it sounded, but I'd tread carefully with words like that, in general.

[CEOIII]

(It could be worse, Lisa. The guy who totaled my car was 1) underage 2) on his second DUI offense and 3) the son of the local deputy fire chief.)

IOW, you were out one car and you got fined for not having proper fire alarms in your house.

[Adrishiana]

It didn't go quite that badly, thankfully. I think his parents were too embarrassed to make trouble, if he was inclined to do so in the first place (the general feeling seemed to be "okay, first DUI: you are a dumb kid, you make mistakes, just be glad nobody died; second DUI: wow, somebody did a shitty job raising you," bearing in mind that the two DUIs were not all that far apart - he'd just gotten his license back from the first go-round with the law).

After all was said and done, I had to pay about a thousand dollars out of pocket to replace a car I'd likely still be driving today if not for the weasel, so that kind of sucked. From what I gather, though, the kid is still paying for it, in one sense, and likely will be for quite some time - not only do two DUIs have a way of limiting your career options for at least a while (and I know he lost a fairly well-paying job over this), his insurance premiums probably went through the roof.

Or even gets drunk and says something horribly insulting.

(Optional: "to the cops")

I knew it! This whole 'college drama' thing was just a big fakeout! Lisa will punch a cop, get sent to jail, and wind up sharing a cell with Charlotte!

Okay, but what network airs this?

<.<

Please let it be late-night Cinemax.....

I'm a baaaaad man.

[nymosy]

her most slutastic clothes?

would that be everything sara owns

[Hexr]

As for 2: Cronenberg himself was at the party, or you were just watching his films? The first sounds OK, the second doesn't sound PTSD victim-friendly.

Someone please elaborate. (Yeah, I could google it, but you know, don't you?) Who's Cronenberg, what's PTSD, and why isn't the former good for the latter?

I think the second forever gives hir (?) away. S/he's about as serious as I was with my Tanny-[serious dislike].
I am using the nickname Tanny here, because I have recently started quite like Fiona. See, either she's one of the most no-filter-between-brain-and-mouth people I've never met (there a word for them?), or she's a devious, calculating people-reader. Either one's good for me, if it happens for my entertainment!
Jeez, I'm an awful person.Like you'd care.I'm sorry, Valerie.

[CBrachyrhynchos]

Cronenberg is a horror director who, until recently, specialized in creepy psychosexual scenes. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a mental illness that, among other symptoms, involves triggered flashbacks to traumatic events.

I'm inclined towards Fox, at first - except that in their version, it starts with a black man opening the door to a party and saying "C'mon in!" while he smiles, drink in hand. [/waits to see if anyone gets that reference]

All I've got running through my head is a DiGiorno commercial...







Oh, but, the remembrances of college parties. Drink and dance not being my thing (at least at that point in time), I wound up in the diner downtown reading Charlotte's Web as often as not. However, there was this one Halloween party where we decorated our little corner of the dorm with Christmas lights and red and green and a giant plastic candle. Because, of course, if you aren't drunk at a college party, the best thing you can do is confuse the drunks.

Yeah, I agree, it sounded pretty sarcastic.
I think most people on this forum are sensible enough, at the very least, to not seriously make any victim-blaming declarations like that.

[LadyObvious23]

Ya know speaking of Fiona, I keep getting this feeling she only mentioned double date because maybe she thought Lisa and Sara were a couple? :/ Just maybe.

DX Uggh and why do I get this horrible little feeling Lisa's gonna end up feeling worse than she does now when things are done and over with. I really, really hope not cuz I'm probably just being a bit paranoid. DX Then again trouble seems to follow Sara and Lisa around like a bad smell. :/

Nah, the reference I'm thinking of is animated, and has a short, fat, balding guy voiced by Jon Lovitz. But good attempt. ^^

[Trefle]

...I am...seeing a potential trainwreck happening here; either to Sara, Lisa, both, or the people around them...

....not good. Although it may be potentially-- fun, but-- not good.

Never watched The Critic. When it came to animated baldies I was all about the Dr. Katz...

That's just how it goes in the riddle game, though. One person's phoenix is another person's not-phoenix so the sphinx doesn't get to eat anyone.

Awww, that makes me sad. In this case, the "Fox" version was their take on Siskel and Ebert's falling out and eventual duel on the wing of a plane.

[Adrishiana]

I seem to remember someone (Scott Adams, maybe) saying that the main reason a lot of people watched Siskel and Ebert was to see if they ever finally snapped and started punching each other, and if so, who would get first blood.
