Pre-Historic Party Gone Out of Bounds

CNN reported this week on a "tropical Stonehenge" located in the northern region of Brazil. Experts say it may represent the vestiges of a centuries-old astronomical observatory.

"It is [one] block's alignment with the winter solstice that leads us to believe the site was once an astronomical observatory," said Mariana Petry Cabral, an archaeologist at the Amapa State Scientific and Technical Research Institute.

I think Mariana has had a tuny bit tee much to drink . . . much like the creators of the "archeological site." So I'm going to go for a much more descriptive name than "tropical Stonehenge." I shall call it what it looks like: Keggerhenge!

See the photo on page one? Right underneath the picture there is an option to page through 3 other images from the site. Click thru those and tell me this "archeological site" looks like anything more than the back yard of a KA house on Sunday morning.

Tall sweatin' glass of ice-cold Red Zinger to my bud Mr. Keysunset for sending this one to me.

And so has Chai began the newest Frat craze--Keggerhenge.

On the night before winter solistice (conveniently located at the end of exams) all Frat brothers everywhere will gather in the yards of their houses at sunset, and they shall lack not for kegs. They shall play Led Zeppelin all through the night, and every time someone says "I'm cold," they shall all drink, and every time Robert Plant sings "oooo--ahooahooah--oooo" they shall all drink, all whilst assembling their replicas of Stonehenge.

And with the first light of the dawn, they shall all fall down, behind the one object that blocks the harsh winter sun. And they shall heave forth their offerings to Baccus, and strive hard not to remember the wee hour visitations of Pan, and of the love that dare not speak its name.

How poetic, pep.

ROTFL over this! I love your description, Chai! Keggerhenge, indeed.
