OK, this picture cracks me up! You can tell that they are being goofy and having fun.... but the vibe just doesn't mesh with the attire! lol...

While searching for articles for graduate thesis I end up in a lot of university online archives, I usually check to see if there are any pictures, some don't but most have loads of great ones.

I hope this house looked more "pleasant" IRL - it looks like the house that only pagans & Satanists join in bad greek movies!

Granted, I'm no spring chicken, but we had to have all PNMs out by 2am, too. We had one PNM who we really, really wanted, and I had become close to her. One of her assets was that she was an excellent pianist. Every time I even think of rush, I think of many of my sisters pleading with me to please tell her that it's very close to 2am, and she could come back in the morning and play the piano! (and if you ever read my retro thread, you know that we had some pretty wacky rules!)
