Mory's

So, I participated in an ancient yale tradition tonight. It was kind of exciting.
There is this relatively exclusive club here, basically only open to yalies, which is famous for its cups
they are giant silver loving cups, filled with strange and usually alcoholic things. You must pass these cups around the table (the cup is never permitted to touch the table) and make a toast every time you have the cup. You pass with half turns, and when the cup is empty, the last person has to finish it, dry the cup on their head, and then prove that it is absolutely empty by putting it on a napkin and having no ring and people tell stories, and (if you're me) you watch other people get drunk... It was fun. Hurray for ancient yale tradition. Also, nothing better than singing Yale songs really loudly, with a lot of drunk people, even though you are pefectly sober.
