Digsby: The New AIM

Let me start off and say, I hate AIM, I always have. Over the years I have tried countless instant messenger clients just to stay away from the terrifying AIM. Up until about a month ago I was using Pidgin, which was formally named Gaim. Digsby, which has been on everyone's radar the past month is an amazing new program that combines everything into your IM client.

We're Back! We're Back! We're Back! We're Back!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Words cannot describe how frustrated I have been over the past few weeks. I am sure you have tried to visit College Kid, and you got the very ugly, and rude 404 message (not available). Something happened with our hosting company, and it killed us. We could not find what was wrong and they were very unhelpful because I was talking to them for the past two weeks and got no real help. I just wanted to apologize to all our dedicated readers (and you know who you are) because obviously being down for two weeks is unacceptable. It happened at the worst time too, during FINALS. I was already freaking out enough, but of course our website had to go down at the same time.

You WILL see posts coming your way, and I guarantee that because Ask a College Kid has new headquarters located in the beautiful city of Boston where it inspires us everyday.

See you soon,

The College Kids

Beer Frisbee - Beersbie

Got a new drinking game for you. It requires you to get your ass outside, so grab some beer and enjoy the awesome weather.

2-4 Players:
First you need two posts or pipes roughly to the chest in height and spaced a decent Frisbee toss apart stuck squarely in to the ground. You now need an object for either pole, we used empty bottles but I’m sure you could improvise some other object as long as both poles get the same object for fairness. You place this object on the top of either pole. Choose the throwing order/turn order. When it is your turn to throw the other team is ‘defending’ and you may only score when throwing. There is a beer in hand rule at all times, even while throwing. The objective of the thrower is to knock the object off the opposing team’s pole which can be done via a direct hit, hitting the pole, or just tripping up your drunken opponents. The defenders must then prevent the object from hitting the ground and catch the Frisbee. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Scoring can be done however you want but this is what we did…
Games were to 10pts.
1pt awarded for a failed catch of the Frisbee but only if it hit the object.
1pt awarded for a failed catch of the object.
1pt awarded (to opposing team) for a spilled drink regardless of defense/offense.
Loser finishes their drink.
