They seem to be bending over backwards for those collage punks who do nothing but party all year long.

But what about us in the military? The people who protect these collage kids and protects their freedoms.

I know I do more work than probably 99% of all the people I graduated with.

So? Video games are for lazy people, and video games are cool, so lazy people are cool.

Well, I don't know about other college students, but I'm not a paper cutout. And hey, the tour isn't even going to all the colleges in the states. They are pretty nearly avoiding all the northeast.

MarioLinkSamusSeptember 15, 2003

I love how you connect college students with lazy people. You've got it opposite kid. College is NOT all about partying. Sheesh, kids these days....

By the way, why are there 4 California stops and 0 upper MidWest stops?
