I live in a unversity dorm. Needless to say, the walls are thin and not much goes in a dorm without the entire floor hearing it. So late night hook-ups are usually greeted in the morning with applause for the resident.

One fad that has caught on like wildfire in the dorms is the game Rock Band. All the hype behind it made it seem like regular people could rock out like rock stars without any of the talent. Just imagine, being able to rock out a guitar solo or wailing on the drums or screaming out your pipes to your favorite Weezer song. It sounds great, doesn't it! But sadly, despite the great soundtrack, it is not as cool.

Sure, the game is wicked fun. But don't expect groupies to hang onto your leg and balls a la Princess Leia on Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars Move Poster. Instead expect to be singing off-key with the sound of plastic flapping around while people outside your dorm room laugh at how terrible you are at singing. So next time you're playing Rock Band, make sure everyone on your floor is on it. That way everyone is subject to ridicule.
