Screw Prom

[Gather]

Rent a tux, play Laser tag.

Barney Stinson would be proud of you

On my school's prom, I went to camping with me and bunch of other man-children. We only had to pay $50 per person and had some great time. Granted, you still need some kind of supervision, but from what I make of it, proms usually suck balls.

Gang banging a prostitute sounds like a golden idea. It would be a party you would all remember, and then if you kill her before you pay her you still have $900 to throw around on... and this is where the plan gets off the chain: more prostitutes. Or if you want to stay within the confines of the "law." I suppose you could just I don't know host the greatest prom after party in all of creation and then deny anyone but your friends entry, or as I call it the Eric Cartman approach.

(But really why not try killing the prostitutes. Be the life of the party as you kill a young confused girl who has made one bad decision after another.)

Or we could rape her and sacrifice her soul on a pentagram made from her blood to unforgiving darkness. And throw in a kitten just because.

Gum balls! Think of the incredible amount you can afford!

A gum ball pit?

That, sir, is epic. I'm making a memo.

At roughly 10 cents a piece, you could get 9000 gumballs...

I can't belive anyone hasn't suggested this so far;

Spend it on bacon.

Great idea! And then do something with that bacon!

[Yoshemo]

I wish I could do that.. but my parents are FORCING me to go, despite me not having a date, not liking more than 2 people there, all my other friends not going, and they know Im gay!

You know what to do:

XP I've know about the song for years but... I doubt that will work on my parents. Other than dad breaking my jaw with a lamp
I'll wait for you to stop being mesmerized.

I've never understood parties...can someone explain their appeal to me?

It's about having fun with other people by doing things in the moment, then remembering it later.

Basically, share the love, even if all you're doing is laughing alongside.

I went to 2 senior proms (I passed damnit, my girlfriend was a senior and i went to hers too) and i had a blast and a half at both, and my school had a after prom, i went to the 2nd one, we had a velcro (i think thats how you spell it) wall and video games, it was awesome.

i even got a street fighter coin and a pokemon figure out of it.

Prom wasn't a big deal to me, per se, since I'm not exactly a social butterfly and I hadn't yet discovered that my kind of dance is a rave. But my prom was still lots of fun and I'm glad I went.

However, if you're going to have a not-prom-party then don't get drunk. Wasted is overrated and if the goal is to have an awesome end to high school then projectile vomiting is not the key. Nor is being zoned out on hash brownies. Go to laser tag, buy a couple good group games for whatever console you have, and enjoy it with pizza and Dr Pepper. Then when you look back ten years from now you'll remember a great night, not staring at the wall because it's pot-fascinating or hugging the toilet for half the night.

Buy 90,000 really small things that cost one cent each, then launch them at the prom in some way.

Or we could take pictures and videos and laugh at ourselves the next morning?

Translated into reality:

Step 1: Go to party.
Step 2: Notice you don't have anything in common with the people there.
Step 3: Get bored. Get wasted.
Step 4: Do a bunch of stupid shit you never would have done sober.
Step 5: Do even stupider shit, some of which you'll remember and some of which you won't.
Step 6: Black out. Wake up as your friends carry you into the car.
Step 7: Wake up next morning with the worst hangover of your life.

Or, for me, since I don't drink:

Step 1: Go to party.
Step 2: Notice you don't have anything in common with the people there.
Step 3: Get bored. Sit in the corner by yourself eating pretzels.
Step 4. Play Pokemon.
Step 5: Notice there's nothing that interests you there and go the fuck home.

Maybe you aren't going to "your" kind of parties.

A rave party may not be your kind of party, but a LAN party may be.

Lol, just imagine making it the last level where you have to escape with the Warthog.

I actually got this idea from the guy who compared driving game drunk and real drunk in GTA IV.

There's only one kind of party that's my kind of party.

I've decided not to go my senior prom, seeing as how a) the people in my school talk about the post-prom party without any supervision, b) I'm sure I can think of better ways to spend $180 to celebrate the end of high school, and c) prom isn't very important to me.

So my friends and I have decided to set up a "Screw Prom Budget", with each of us contributing what would be our prom fee ($180). Since there's about 5-6 of us, we have about $900.

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

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.

Edit: I found a few paper-scribblings:
-rent a pickup, put tarp in the back... jacuzzi?
-halo 1 drinking game: play entire campaign legendary, one shot for every death

I don't understand the first part..why is that a bad thing?
