Harvard Foam-Fest Turns Into Fiery Hellstorm

by | April 19, 2010 at 9:38 am

The Crimson‘s FlyBy Blog reports that the annual “Mather Lather” party — at which Ivy League undergrads rub foam all over themselves and pretend to be Ke$ha — was disrupted by a smoke alarm. The foam registered as “the [moral] equivalent of smoke,” whatever that means!

Many of the partiers—many wearing just wet bathing suits—seemed to remain spirited, and most were waiting to return to the party once it reopened.

Aw, Harvard. Even when you try to have fun, you just… can’t. A smoke alarm disrupting your biggest bash of the year? Could you get any more Steve Urkel? It’s like Monty Burns said: “I say let Harvard have its football and academics. Yale will always be first in gentlemanly club life.”

    Our “biggest bash of the year?” Please, you make us laugh with you reporting skills.
    But seriously, Dan, a message for you: stop trying to make Harvard look bad because you didn’t get in.

    Agreed. Also, you mock us for not knowing how to have fun? At 11:30 last night, I was drunk and dancing, not hunched over my computer writing stories for a blog about people I’ve even never met, and probably will never meet. Hope you had a blast.

    Fiery hellstorm? All the drunk people at the party had to go outside for a few minutes in their wet bathing suits. It was actually pretty awesome. I really don’t understand your constant attempts to make Harvard seem like it’s not fun. Ever since you and Alex took over this blog it has reeked of the Yale inferiority complex.

    Yeah, I actually went to Mather Lather, and it was amazing. Even when we went in the courtyard everyone was dancing and singing, and when we got to go back into the building the party picked up right where it left off.

    Yep, as the DJ I can say that the police let staff back in early to get the party going again. Win.

    I was always under the impression that an actual fire was required to have a fiery hellstorm. I cannot believe I’ve been so misguided all my life. Thanks for allowing me to learn from your superior and amazing Columbia knowledge.
