Jeans last forever before they need to be washed, and washing them too often can wear them out. At least, that's what my parents told me. Non-jeans pants get washed every few days.
Your coat has the Team Gurren logo on it...Jonluw said:Pfweeh... I don't really get the impression that most people recognize me like that. Except for a choice few users of course.Dags90 said:Right, but you do it often enough, and your avatar is recognizable enough that you're "that crazy Norwegian guy" with wacky Norwegian customs, like wearing red overalls.I haven't been to a prom, but I'm assuming it requires some level of decency and pretty clothes.So after checking the Wikipedia on the "Russefeiring", I came across, "Promiscuous sex, drunkenness and public disturbance on a mass scale has been the most prominent impact of the celebration in recent decades."
So it's like prom, but 2+ weeks long and it comes with flamboyant overalls? Sign me up.
If so, I would say it's a fair bit more entertaining than prom.
And I'm guessing the promiscuity is cranked up a bit compared to prom.
For example: the russ at each school appoint a couple of people to be responsible for contraceptives. Their job is basically to hand out condoms to everyone.
Also, the police is willing to ignore minor crimes, like public drinking, when it's the russ comitting them.
And achievement whoring is pretty fun.
If you perform certain tasks, you get to tie objects to your hat.
Stuff like "Sitting in a roundabout with a bunch of beer and a sign that says 'you honk, we drink'"
"Biting a first year in the leg"
"Consuming a cup of slushee in less than two minutes"
"Drinking a case of beer in 12 hours"
"Having sex outdoors"
"Not attending school for the entire russ period"![]()
My coat.
"Katta" being the name of the school I go to.
A common American stereotype is that European men wear "odd colored" (read: not blue or black) jeans. I personally think the "wear it once" mentality is a bit insane for pants. One of our tenants does it, I swear he does laundry more than once a week.Acrisius said:We have red pants in europe..?
No wonder the average American wastes 2-3 times as much energy as the average European :O
