I can remember countless times during my college years when my roommates and I would sit around our apartment and complain about how there was never anything good to do (like Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, except with Detroit Red Wing jerseys). Sure we lived two blocks from the beach, had easy access to certain parentally frowned up “activities”, and went to a nationally ranked party school. Not to mention Downtown Santa Barbara having a slew of nice movie theatres, fantastic restaurants and a great club scene. But for the most part, life was boring. And this video brings back those memories.

Stuff like this happened all the time. This probably went down on some random Tuesday in February. I can’t tell you how many parties I went to that ended the same way. Some drunk guy spills another drunk guy’s half filled cup of Natty Ice and suddenly it’s Order 66 time. And let me tell you, nobody ever let the Wookie win. You’d think a campus half-filled with potsmokers would be more laidback with their lightsaber draw, but no. There was always a couple of idiots who let their fear turn into anger. And their anger into hate. But their hate always turned into our suffering when they knocked over the freaking keg during their duel. It’s like, can I just one time chill at a friend’s house and do some late night drinking without some yahoo trying to Strike Back? Please? I was lucky if just once a week I got drunk and made inappropriate phone calls into my ex-girlfriends. That’s no way to live!

On Fridays the local Stormtrooper Patrols rode around on dewbacks but we weren’t intimidated. All they ever did was give out lame parking tickets to podracers who went five minutes over on their parking meters. And don’t get me started on their racial Jedi profiling. If you were wearing a brown cloak you couldn’t even force throw a guy five feet without getting hassled. I thought college was about freedom and higher education? Not cloaking your Dark Jedi powers to avoid getting put in the campus paddywagon.

Life at UCSB, sigh…

Bangarang!
