We here at Blogagaard have deleted our post containing "Rockin' It, Frat Party Style!": A Short Story Geared to College students, Written by A Thirty Something Author by Mike Sacks. The question of getting our lazy asses sued has been raised, and since we are so lazy we will surely miss any court hearing, further exacerbating our already tenative legal standing. So go, seek out this story via some search engine. We will bide our time cowering in Kafkaesque fear, worried that tommorow two men will show up in our apartment, eating the breakfast that should be ours as they tell us yes, you have been invited to a trial.

Ah, McSweeney's. Delightful. You poacher.
David, being the only highschool student you know, i wanted tell you that despite my lack of college experiences, high school is a hell of a lot like that nice story. And yes... i want sympathy.
Ali, it's so nice to see you! We here at Blogagaard have longed for your awesomeness to appear on our lowly blog. Please feel free to visit and grace us with your presence as often as you deem fit!
I wish I knew more high school students, but when you're no longer a teen you instantly become suspect. It's like "Children of the Corn"!
Is it legal to post someone else's junk, bloppie? What you doing?
I went to a women's college in Virginia for a year. Nothing like this happened there. I went to a fine arts high school in Alabama for five years, and nothing like this happened there, either. What do I have to do to find the damned party?
Trite!
I've never seen so many bad frat cliches abused.McSweeney's should be ashamed...
i think so. It's totally credited. Should I unpost it?
If Eggers tries to sue you, you can maybe get him to wrestle you, which would make national news. I think you better keep it posted.
I have to agree with Mikey. P.U.
Guys, the whole point of this story is HOW BADLY IT'S WRITTEN. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.
Either Mikey and Lucas are being sarcastic, or you're not getting the author's sarcasim. There must be some sarcastic misunderstanding here.
I picked this story because I too one day want to write something in this vein, which I'll call "THE WORST STORY EVER WRITTEN"
Viney, life is never like this. Sacks was just taking the piss out of all those idiot college students who believe in this pot of party gold...
If I wrestled Eggers, we could bill it as THE BATTLE OF TWO DAVES WHO HAVE LOST PARENTS TO CANCER IN THEIR EARLY TWENTIES
good times.
Really, can you guys imagine me in a courtroom? Under trial? My Cousin Vinny wouldn't begin to cover it.
Your honor, I demand a monte cristo sandwich immediately! This trial is a farce!
I am glad it's Friday. This working crap is for losers.
I'm glad that the fine people of Blogagaard won't have to face the cruel lash of the law.
David my dear chap, I'm not entirely convinced of the effectiveness of the sarcasim when it is full of such tired rhetoric:
Here's my impersonation of Eggers reading this submission: Hmmm, I see now, frat boys like to party! Jesus in a handbasket, this is brilliant! YOU THERE, STOP THE PRESS! I HAVE JUST READ THE MOST AMAZING STORY ON HOW FRAT BOYS PARTY! I MUST SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD SO THEY TOO WILL SEE HOW FRAT BOYS PARTY! HAHAHA, THEY WILL THINK IT SUCH A CLEVER, SARCASTIC STORY! I AM THE MOST BRILLIANT MAN ALIVE!
No offense to the professional writers on this page, but I couldn't finish Eggers book.
He was too thouroughly in love with his own cleverness, it got old real fast.
Who wants to handle this? Okay, I will. Mike, you suck.
Ha ha. Just kidding.
I think you're half right and half wrong, just like having sex with a hot 2nd cousin.
I don't think Eggers is at McSweeney's anymore. Is he? Anyone know?
Don't know. There was some sort of kerfuffle between him & another writer a few months back.
I think Eggers is McSweeneys. He'd have to sell it off to really leave. Pollack took some pot shots at him in a recent article (NYT or New Yorker or something). I'm not saying he has much to do with the online journal, but the print is still him, I believe. And he married that woman and helped start "The Believer." This is off the top of my head, but I think I know that which I am talking about.
No David, I'm all right. So there.
here's a mcsweeney's list that almost could've been written by you, dave

Funny stuff, SD. I got addicted to reading all those lists. An hour later, I woke up.
