I miss the days when DU would gather on Friday nights to eat Balut and drink pitchers of YouHoo.

[Miles Archer]

It was near the end of Bush's first term. There were regional groups of DUers who would meet every Friday night like clockwork. The YouHoo flowed like a great chocolate river, and servers kept the trays of Balut coming all night long.

At midnight we would all go outside, stand in a circle, look up at the stars, and vomit uncontrollably. And for the next four years, we never missed a Friday.

I miss those days.

When people tell you that DU "isn't what it once was," now you know what they're talking about.

You just have to avoid the furry looking things.

5. It all went to hell when someone posted a thread about dipping Devil Dogs in the Yoo-Hoo.

We lost a lot of good ones.

The online equivalants

7. BalutCam ran for about two months

I remember Skinner's post about how they decided to eliminate the live Web Cam feed in order to afford server upgrades. A shame, but business is business.

Yoohoo is good though!

10. When I was in the Philippines it was popular with the locals. The GI's not so much.

Good times. Good times.
