30 in 30 III - 3 - Dress Your Best, or Not
Now, though earlier today I issued an encyclical urging you all not to post about your daily lives, I'm going to go ahead and do just that. But wait, before you declare me the antichrist, let me note that I bring you a photo essay -- a photo essay with drunken debauchery, people dressed up, and people practically naked! This, my friends, is almost always a recipe for an acceptable blogging. Also I already posted a less underbloggist entry today, and though I recused that one as being too recursive (being about 30 in 30 itself), I think together these two entries should meet blogthodox requirements.
Last night Kristy & I attended both my Φ A Δ (Pre Law) formal & then Gina Scheffel's "Dress Your Best .. Or Not!" Party.
here you can see the plant I got Kristy as it knocks on her door.
Tessandra Cross & Sam Kelsch are unable to resist the magnetic affect Rob "Supreme Commander" Pedersen has on ladies.
See Also: Other crowd shot from formal.
I'm not sure what to say about this,
but I think it looks really cute.
See Also: A more normal picture of us; me trying to eat her eyebrow.
Then we went to the "Dress Your Best or Dress Naked Party"
Which was a convenient theme for us since we were coming from formal.
Kristy actually took this picture.
Okay so Anthony says "Hey lets all take shots!"
And then he's like "Yeah I'm going to go get shots"
And then they have shots in red party cups. Note that (A) Kristy is "double-fisting it," and (B) Amanda Cheek is enthralled by her own breasts in the background.
And then Sashie gives Kristy weird looks as she tries to finish off her (probably grossly strong) drinks.
True friends share the last cream puff.
Did I mention there were cream puffs?
Then Coleman arrived, and went for the "Or Not" option
Such sauce!
I don't remember what this was about, but its not Coleman, as illustrated here.
See Also: Another picture of Kristy & Muffin.
Chris Bunch had stars in his eyes for the Dutch Girl. You can cut this sexual tension with a knife!
See Also: Anthony tries to jock the other dutch girl
Host Gina Scheffel, & Dave.
Julie Parker attempts to photograph own breasts?
Since C-Bunch was holding up our departure, Kristy finally whispered in his ear "get her number already!"
To which he responded audibly "I already accomplished that objective!"
A few minutes later the other Dutch girl asked Kristy what that had been about. Kristy tried to be avoident at first but finally exclaimed "aah I can't lie to a dutch girl!"

Or see all these pictures and some more from thte party that I didn't work in here on flickr.
For no particular reason I thought I'd link to one of my all time very favourite 30 in 30 posts now to inspire you all: Jesus Cthulhu.
As to my best day 3 post choice, I'm not gonna beat around the bush, its going to apoplecticfittz again. Though original megabloggist philosophy 1 frowned upon the use of multimedia as taking away from the technique & craft, it was quickly seen that the use of images very greatly enhanced the achievable hilarity in entries. Even those without digital cameras can still find images on the internet to enhance their entries, and I would say I definitely encourage this. It helps counteract the debilitating effects of TL;DR, and frankly I think some of you need to turn some attention to the TL;DR issue.
And so my point is: that apoplecticfittz's post for today is a brilliant example of how a simple office prank can be turned into a hilarious blogccomplishment through effective use of multimedia.
Another example of good use of multimedia I'd like to recognize is orwell_troll's first post (ever, actually). The simple addition of a 51st star to the US flag demonstrates how very simple a brilliant idea can be. In addition to the aforementioned Brent "Darth Laabs" Laabs, I'd like to give a shout out to the other people who have either joined 30 in 30 since my last post or I just forgot them at that time: gerbilgrrl, professor_david, the mysterious anonymous_frosh, punitrebel, and the venerable citizene (reporting from Singapore).
Previously in the Blogosphere
Three Years Ago Today: UCD MUN Conference 2003 - First annual UCD MUN Conference. To this day they were my favourite committee ever.
Two Years Ago: 30 in 30 I, Day 3 - shekb declares the pulitzer prize "tapped out." I didn't think the entry was that funny but comments from other participants seem to laud it as blogging gold. lerani posted about Dennis Quaid & the Sharks, and how you can get him to touch your enemies. stephenl decides that “The fact is, girls can't keep their pants on when they encounter a guy who's big into anime,” which is further proven by the fact that shid is now engaged. Also, bloglarious as usual, apoplecticfittz posts a must-see entry about gummy bear porn - I swear its tasteful ::caugh, get it?::.
Year Ago Today: 30 in 30 II, Day 3 - From the Field - Phonepost abilities unexpectedly failing me, I desperately make a post from some random person's house in Santa Barbara. Not much of a post, but I had to use maximum intrepidness to get it done at all and its the thought that counts, no?
