Screw Prom

[Samurai Goomba]

Haha, when I first read the thread title I thought it said "Screw Porn", and now I'm thuroughly disappointed...

But yeah, I only went to a few high school dances during my entire time going to school. And I only went to senior prom because I was nominated for royalty. I would have rather just got wasted or something.

Glad I'm not the only one who read the title that way.

Anyhow, um... You know, I have no idea. Most of the things people have suggested don't really cost that much. The only thing I can think of that would cost over a hundred dollars per person is... Well... [small]hookers.[/small]

 

[rabidmidget]

WHORES!!!

or pay some homeless people and have yourself an old fashioned bum fight!

WTH, 180 bucks for a stupid party? I generally hate the ide of American proms. You're supposed to bring the hottest date, the most exspensive tux and at least a lamborghini to be considered "cool", at least according to TVP). TV also taught me that there's usualy parents and no liquor. That's no party I'dd like to attend...

Our prom was free, it was held in a castle, only drinks costed money, though not as much. All you needed was a suit/dress and a cool way to get to the castle. I borowed my uncle's car, a BMW convertable, and I still had the suit.

As to your bigger problem: How to spend 900 dollars in a way that gives you the most amount of fun.

Ideas are:
-Your original idea sounded sweet: liquor, the magic herbs and a freaking waterslide!
-Take the booze/brownies idea from idea 1, combine it with an afterparty. There's got to be an afterparty you can sneak to? Maybe someone you know? Just an idea.
-Go to a stripclub. Imagine a pocket, filled with 900 singles...
-Depending on whether everyone likes videogames: An idea brought to me by Yahtzee, and I still plan on doing it some time soon: Take a game, preferably Devil May Cry, take turns playing, kick back and take a drink every time someone defies the laws of physics. When the first bottle's down, ANYTHING looks like physics are defied. Also, awkward deaths become inevitable after 1 liter of finest Scrumpy Jack's. There's nothign I like more about watching someone play than laughing at awkward deaths...

Paintball gunning.

Go Karting.

Drinking.

Perfect night!

 

[Booze Zombie]

Smoking weed around the fireplace...?

Isn't that what us young people do?

 

[MasTerHacK]

Damn thought it said "Screw PORN" not prom. All I can suggest are stripers.

 

[savandicus]

OK here's the plan.

You buy thousands of ballons, lots of helium, alot of string, some paint, a chair, a bbgun (or a real gun for extra flare), 2 extremely big amplifiers, a generator to power them, a music cd with rise of the valkries.

1 - Fill enough ballons with helium to successfully lift yourself into the air along with all you equipment
2 - The bb gun can be used to control your height by popping ballons
3 - Find the real prom
4 - Get those loud speaker blasting out the music
5 - Launch ballons filled with paint
6 - Fly off into the sunset and party like its 1999.

with each of us contributing what would be our prom fee ($180). Since there's about 5-6 of us, we have about $900.

WOW that is an expensive prom! mine was only 5$. heh, when I read Screw Prom it brought up some gooood memories.

When the hell was your prom? 1950?!

Ours was free, the school paid it all. Of course, I still didn't go. It was just boring. Loud music, a lot of drunk people and nothing else.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

Dude? Go to prom.

You can have the craziest party of you life THE VERY NEXT DAY. And then another THE DAY AFTER.

You can't really have another prom.

There is no point is missing it.

Convince me that I'm going to miss something important at prom.

And why I shouldn't have 3 crazy parties in a row.

You don't really understand my point.

You should rather explain to me why you shouldn't go to prom, but rather have a party that you could have any other day on the rest of your life.

So the more logical thing to do is to assume that prom is worth going to rather than proving it? I don't think so. I didn't go to prom, and I'm fine. Prom is only worth it if you have a partner who is willing to go; otherwise, it's boring and disheartening. Besides, I heard that my school's prom sucked, hehe.

OT: There's a good portion of me that wants to tell you guys to save the money, but if you're intent on spending it, I really can't make any suggestions without knowing how you act drunk or high. I can say that road trips are AWESOME, however.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

Donate it all to charity.

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

I'd buy an elk and get it drunk.

 

[Nubbinsmustdie]

prom's suck get booze,weed,women,gaming and just have fun.

 

[Daveman]

Lan Party w/ strippers and nachos.

In fact... forget the LAN and the nachos.

Erm, if it were me and my friends we'd probably just get mega drunk for about a week. We're an unimaginative lot.

Or we'd go to thorpe park too. Theme parks are always fun.

You could buy some games for your console or PC or spend it on...

Spoiler

I bet you could afford and hour and fifty minutes!

I love how they've written "Prosutition" on the card. Epic spelling fail.

 

[HuntrRose]

watch a random anime series and take a drink every-time some character defies the laws of physics

You really want to destroy this poor guys liver, don't you?

 

[Sipo]

I'm thinking about making some hash-brownies, getting some alcohol, having a slip-and-slide/water-gun fight at my park at night, followed by using the rest for bail the following morning.

YES!!...except use the rest of the money to drive me out there so i can PARTAAAY!

 

[pffh]

180$ for a non-alcoholic dance!?
WHAT
THE
HELL

Why does it cost so much? Really 180$? Screw that hold your own party for 900$ you could by a whole bunch of booze and throw one hell of a party.

 

[Vitor Goncalves]

Good decision, I should have done the same, not a bad party but was really expensive and I soon forgot it afterwards! I guess going out clubbing or staying at home playing games would have been more fun and much cheaper. I didnt even remember it anymore if it was not for this article.

 

[WrongSprite]

Secondly, Holy shit what are they doing for your prom?
Ours was like I think $14 a ticket and it was in an aircraft museum. And post-prom carnival was like I think $6 a ticket. I paid for everything but my date's dress and I don't think even after dinner and prophylactics spent even $180. Damn

Umm... I think they just give a really classy dinner-and-dance party. They rent out a ball room and get the catering service to deliver food.[/quote]

That's weird, because my school does that, and the prom is costing us about £30 I think? Which is roughly $65.

 

[alinos]

dude you only live once

B) whats your issue with an unsurpervised party

get out and experience the world(i know ironic for the site that this is )

although im from australia and well we only really had one dance type thing ever but eh

 

[REPLAY13]

i remember all in all i spent about £150 to go to my prom (suit, limo, drinks, ticket) and it was the most boring night of my life!

i'd have much preferred to just spend the money on a a ton of beer and food and have a barbecue or something. (since it was july)

 

[SnipErlite]

Haha, when I first read the thread title I thought it said "Screw Porn", and now I'm thuroughly disappointed...

I thought I was the only one - Hm, I wonder what that means 0_O

Escapists, give me suggestions on how to spend this money for an epic end-of-high-school-blow-out.

OT: Get booze. A LOT of booze. Do the Halo drinking game, then.....oh wait - can any of you play guitar/bass/drums? If so get an entire band setup in the back of a pickup and park outside the real prom and have a jam session. Heh. That'd be awesome.

[sub]And make sure you play some Them Crooked Vultures[/sub]
