Winning on Style

(this is an actual picture of the girl my friend took home...turns out her name was Colo, not "Sally" as she claimed. She was born in Ohio and then transferred to the Bronx Zoo)

The inspiration for this blog came from a particularly intense binge with Kiley on my one-day return to the University of Pennsylvania, my home sweet home. The theme of the night was "Sometimes, you just win on style." The concept is not a difficult one to grasp; sometimes, when it's all going well, when you have that bounce in your step and that glimmer in your eye, you tend to win on style without actually deserving any of the good things that happen to you...the free drinks you are showered with, the bouncers that waltz you right in, the girls that drape themselves on you, ect.  As one of my friends found out the next morning, however, sometimes you can also lose horribly. He found this out upon waking up next to an animal that had actually escaped from the Bronx Zoo hours before she found her way to the bar. Fortunately he had a tranquilizer gun handy and upon realizing his blunder, was able to sedate her and alert the proper authorities before she could pounce on him again. Colo has since been returned to the Bronx Zoo.
