Party for Profit

Thirsty Thursdays-Homecoming Kickoff
So, here at San Jose State, Thursday is considered the beginning of homecomign weekend. Please help us all celebrate by drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and pretend like you actually care about the football game. Enjoy…
Buckwheat Lets the Cat Outta the Bag One day the little rascals were sitting in school. The teacher walked in, and said, "good morning class. Today we are going to play word games. I'm going to give you a word and I want you to put it in a sentence for me." She said "Spanky you're first. Your word is football." Spanky stood up and proudly said " I threw the football," and sat down. The teacher said "very good Spanky." Then the teacher said, "Darla, you're next. Your word is pretty." Darla stood up and said, " I think I'm very pretty!" Then she sat down. Then the teacher called on Buckwheat. She said, "Buckwheat, you're next. Your word is dictate."

*Tickle me Tuesdays* Halloween style
24 more days until the big day. Here’s a cute little vampire joke I found. Enjoy….
A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep. Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he got it. He told them to knock it off and let him get some sleep but they persisted until finally he gave in. “OK, follow me,” he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him. Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a forest full of trees. Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him. “Now, do you see that tree over there?” he asked. “Yes, yes, yes!” the bats all screamed in a frenzy. “Good,” said the first bat, “Because I DIDN’T!”

Hooray for the first day of October
So for those of you who have viewed my blog before, you’ll know that October is my favorite month, besides June of course. It’s the month for Homecoming debauchery, Greek Week, season premiers, and of course HALLOWEEN! The one night of the year where people can have a good time and dress like complete sluts and utter assholes. Each day of the month is themed, so check back every day to see what Halloween joke, picture, video, or tidbit I can find.
Now, here are some fun and famous urban legends that i thought could help keep the spirirt of halloween alive.
DISCLAIMER: IF YOU TRY ANY OF THESE, AND A SPIRIT JUST SO HAPPENS TO…OH I DONT KNOW..KILL YOU….THIS IS NOT MY FAULT! I CAN’T HELP YOU FROM YOUR OWN STUPIDITY.
enjoy!
BLOODY MARY!!
Urban Legend: Chanting “Bloody Mary!” thirteen times in front of a candlelit mirror in an otherwise dark room will summon her vengeful spirit.
The Story: Go into a room with a mirror and turn all the lights off. Bathrooms seem to be perfect for this since they almost always have a mirror and are usually dark at night with the lights off and the door closed. Light a candle, look into the mirror, start chanting “Bloody Mary” . You have to do this 13 times, of course. You should see Bloody Mary behind your left shoulder after the thirteenth time.Beware, she has been reported to 1.) Kill the person calling her, 2.) Scratch their eyes out, 3.) Drive the person mad or 4.) pull the person into the mirror with her. This is an old legend, it has been around for ages. A folklorist, Janet Langlois, published an essay on the legend back in 1978. At that time, the legend was wide spread across the USA and a popular slumber party ritual done by girls as well as boys. No one knows the true origins of the Bloody Mary tale, she’s been known to be anything from a witch that was killed for practicing witchcraft to a modern day woman killed in a car crash, depending on what part of the country you live in. It was made popular again in the film Urban Legends in 1999.
The Long Distance Phone Call
Urban Legend: An elderly woman, bed-ridden after her husbands death, receives strange phone calls that turn out to be from the dead husband. The Story:An elderly woman receives a phone call on a dark, stormy night. She hears a moaning on the other end and a voice that sounds like her recently diseased husband. The calls torment her all night. The next day, she asks her driver to take her past the cemetery where her husband was laid to rest. They discover that during the storm, a phone line had fallen down ………..and was laying on her dead husbands grave! Were the phone calls she had received the night before made from beyond the grave by her dead husband? Another variation of this has the woman dying from shock in her bed after answering the phone call. Then, when she is being taken to the cemetery it is discovered that the phone line is laying on her husbands grave.
Origins:This legend has been told as having happened in various parts of the United States but no true origins can be found. A version of this legend showed up as an episode of the Twilight Zone on February 7th,1964, called “Night Call.”
Person Trapped In Cemetery Overnight Dies
Urban Legend: A person makes a bet with their friends that they can spend the night in a cemetery and are is found dead in the morning in the arms of a graveyard statue. What It’s About: A person makes a bet with a group of friends that he or she (more often it’s a she) can spend the night in the cemetery. The person is found dead in the morning, laying across the arms of a large statue, usually of an angel with it’s arms out-stretched. This legend also included a statue of an old woman seated with her arms out stretched, a woman standing with her arms out-stretched.
Variations on this are: as an initiation into a gang, a fraternity or sorority or into a high school clique. The dead person is found dead with no sign of injury or has also been found to be sitting on the lap of the seated statue with crushed ribs, presumably by the arms of the statue. But the end result is always the same, the person is dead in the arms of the statue.
Origins:This legend has been told as having happened in various parts of the United States but no true origins can be found.
