Grateful Dead

1. The one and only band you need to be aware of.

2. An alcoholic drink. Typically made like this: fill a pint glass with ice. Add 1/2 oz of the following: vodka, gin, light rum and tequila. Fill almost to the top with either sour or sweet & sour mix. Shake or stir vigorously if no shaker is available. Add straw and drink. Bartenders will typically leave more space than usual when adding sour or sweet & sour mix and will top with equal parts of Chambord/razzmatazz and Blue Curacao to create a color effect for presentation. No matter which way you make it this drink NEVER gets any kind of garnish unless specifically requested by a customer.

Spew-it-knew-it theory

Spew-it-knew-it theory says that students commonly retain a lot of information for an important test/exam but then mostly forget about it once they don't need to know it anymore.

Believe it or not this has actually been backed up by real research by Hermann Ebbinghaus.
Test question (short answer): What does the spew-it-knew-it theory say?

Answer: it means that once I know it I'm completely forget about it and everything else regarding the tested information.

Kings from Hell

Kings from Hell is a variation on the popular drinking game Kings. The only difference is that you play with a small, vacation/travel sized pack of cards, that way it's really hard to keep the cards connected. Some versions of Kings from Hell mandate that not only if you break the whole circle you have to drink but also if you break a chain of 4 or more cards you have to drink (this number can vary or just not be used).
We played Kings from Hell last night when we were pregaming and by the time we got to the party it was as if we'd already been partying and were postgaming!
