I! WANNA ROCK 'N' ROLL ALL NIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT --
AND PARTY E-VE-RY DAY!!!!!

A core tenet of RENDELLISM is bringing in as many stoodents into your town as possible. As the late EDDIE might say, "College kids means lots of youth! And youth means HIP! And hip means EXCITEMENT! And excitement means -- well, uh, I think it's a good idea." Two or three times a year the owners of some apartment building, in conjunction with the local bars, stage a block party on 15th and Locust, complete with bad loud live music -- and lots of BLUTOS. Today being a reasonable facsimile of St. Patty's Day they're staging one. The BLUTOS also bring their girlfriends, some of whom aren't that good looking either. I live in a dorm -- pardon, an apartment building nearby and I resent it because I'm tired of seeing so many clones on the streets. (And very few of the partygoers wearing the required green tees are wearing the b-l-a-c-k -- an unspoken tenet of RENDELLISM.) And after the BLUTOS leave kolledge they never come back. RENDELLISTS who think kolledge kids will revive their warrens are steering them toward another cul de sac. If you click on the link of that Vegas blog I posted yesterday you'll see lots of pictures of BLUTOS. They can't be helping Vegas. The town woefully tries to maintain what's left of that faux-elegant Rat Pack aura (and face it, they were slobs too) by attracting the top of the top of the top of gamb -- GAMERS; but if all those BLUTOS with "test tubes" are the norm they're surely flying far, far away in their private jets, another reason Vegas may not fully recover from its depression. Yes, kolledge kids gentrified a neighborhood around Bill Cosby University. I wonder how that's helped the ghetto poor who still surround it? BLUTOS will no more revive our cities than the EDS 'n' MEDS that bring them here, which will not stop RENDELLISTS from touting them.
