Deadspin
Longtime readers know full well of our fascination and affection for Keggy, the mascot with a heart of gold(schlager). Well, because it's a Friday afternoon, it's freezing in New York City and everyone just wants to go home/out and eradicate any lingering brain cells after the work week, we present this prank video featuring Keggy and a bunch of enterprising Dartmouth students. If this doesn't get them to enroll, nothing will.

Can One Costumed Beer Mascot Make A Difference? Yes He Can! [Deadspin]

Don't tease me with titles like that - it's not even four. God I need a beer.
It's The Dartmouth Drinkin' Time Tone Deaf Marching Band!
That's awesome. I've always wanted to mess with a tour group, but never wanted to do the leg work.
In my day, we didn't have video cameras to record our college pranks. We had artists capture our college pranks on Etch-O-Sketches, and we'd pray that that Etch-O-Sketches didn't get shaken before we got to show them to our friends.
There's another 4 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Dear old Dartmouth, give a rouse
For the College on the hill!
For the Lone Pine above her,
And the loyal ones who love her,
Give a rouse, give a rouse, with a will!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth,
Though 'round the girdled earth they roam,
Her spell on them remains;
They have the still North in their hearts,
The hill-winds in their veins,
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains;
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.
If you get me drunk enough, I'll sing it for you too.
By the way, the first rule of college pranks remains if at all possible, involve a cow.
Them college students always get a head start on Drinktimery.
Fuck beer, this is whiskey weather.

This is Keggy's blood, given up for you...
RING!!!!!!!!!
God that band sucks......I need a beer.
That's it...my goal this weekend is to stay inebriated from 5:00pm tonight until 7:00am Monday morning.
Nevermind, that's every weekend.
Mr. Crash wants a beer now though...
This is good, but it's no library musical. Now that was fun.
It's Drinking Time!
can't.fucking.drink. but... if and when i ever finish this 35 fucking page motion, i got the icky sticky snip snap sizack waiting for me at home. mmmmmmmmm
A prank whose theme has been suspended in amber since 1952. Here's hoping that next time they go for something along the lines of "It's Ass Fucking Time!"
Something tells me neither the Anne Taylor-clad mothers nor the askance-capped Choate stoners in the tour group wouldn be laughing along with that.
I thought they were yelling "It's streaking time!"...but nobody got naked.
I nominate the good lieutenant as our official Deadspin LLP spokesperson.
Typical East Coast, Ivy League elitist liberals
Q: How many Dartmouth students does it take to change a light bulb?
thats a looooooong way to go for nothing.
none, they hire someone to do it for them?
44 - none - there's no electricity in Hanover, NH.
Where was Simmons' column today? Lazy fuck.
Winner!
why can't Lt. drinky drink? Are you on a "No! Booze! til Britney!!!" tour?
Speaking of pranks, this is funny (NSFW)

44 - is there a corresponding one for Columbia? I don't think I've ever heard one.
For the second time ever, my boss is letting us go early. I plan on being drunk in downtown Boston by 6:45. Good weekend all.
Peace Love Dope!
Speaking of been-there-done-that...

I was going to go with: "Half of the student body"
One guy to do it, then the rest to make an unecessarily long and remarkably unfunny digital short commemorating the event.
We never had random parades at IU, but we did have a porn DVD shot in Teter Hall. Maybe one day our admissions office can hang its hat on something like Keggy, but until then it's simply fucking and basketball.
Because it's a moving picture: douchebag, yes, ...
DO NOT CLICK ON cowbell's link. I was fooled by this last time!
Columbia: Seventy-six-- one to change the light bulb, fifty to protest the light bulb's right to not change, and twenty-five to hold a counter protest
44- 1 but it takes a long time while they wait for the world to revolve around them? Sorry that was the Delta girls in school...
File this under: Ideas that sounded better when stoned.
fuck. I am a douchebag.
It's not as good. I think it's something like, "51. 1 to change the light bulb, 25 to protest in support of the light bulb's right to not be changed, and 25 to stage a counter-protest."
The hoi polloi - I thought that was HArvard
No, the world revolving around them is Harvard. I also like the Yale one: "None. New Haven looks better in the dark."
51. 1 to change the light bulb, 25 to protest in support of the light bulb's right to not be changed, and 25 to stage a counter-protest
you sure that's not Berkeley?
this is a sad day to be in the LLP. I got hammered with work late in the day. at least there's football tommorrow.
or DU for those of us along the front range...
Proverbial: There wont be one today because he gave us the craptastic "Peyton Manning got lucky and Bellicheck and Brady would beat him the next 99 times in a row" column on monday after the Colts spanked 'em, and he's enter Rick Reilly territory where he can only write an exact number of columns (2) per week.
So what's the penalty for cashing-out my kid's 529?
I call shenanigans. There was no snow on the ground, can't be Hangover, NH.
Wow, that might have been one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Sager -
In Berkeley, screwing in a light bulb represents violence against women, you patriarchal swine!
You're probably white too!
hoi polloi
i have plans for sunday morning which do not allow for any drinking tonight or tomorrow
Nice to see the kid in a Lehigh tshirt. He knows to go to the school where drinking time starts the first day of freshman year and doesn't stop ever.
Lt.
sooooo you're running it, right? No just peepin all the lovelies in jogging shorts with sensitive nipples?
do well and have a good time.
WADM-
I am a white male devil, but what steps could I take to fit in with the Berkeley crowd?
A- Smoke tons of pot
B- Never shave/shower/brush teeth/etc
C- Be the creepy white male Women's Studies/Asian Studies major
D- All of the above
Ivy League kids ...
Sure, you have to credit the sheer number of people in on the prank, but when I went to college we did REAL pranks in front of prospectives!!! Such as:
Knock someone off their bike and "steal" it.
Fake beat up a kid with his own crutches.
Propose to prospective high school girls.
Get dressed up like a bum and sleep on the pavement.
Mimic tour guide dressed up in a Barney costume.
Streak through the middle of a tour group.
Those were the days...
You know what's fun? Take a Dee Mirich post and replace Barbaro with Keggy.

yes but all the women at Lehigh look like Chewbacca....then again that probably explains all the drinking.....carry on
Sager -
Don't shower. Grow dreadlocks. And claim your Mom is from South America and you used to spend your summers there.
hp,
those 2 things are not mutually exclusive. so yeah, i'll be doing both
I haven't watched the video, so I'm not sure, but is that Carl Monday in the jacket, facing the camera, in the still shot? It's either him or Hitler, it's kind of fuzzy.
Winslow- if you want to piss off the "serious runners" who think they're like those guys from Kenya, light up a cigarette at the starting line and finish it just before the race starts. That's always good for a laugh.
Keggy has a blog.
It hasn't been updated in months and there are no real permalinks to speak of, but you know how it is... stubby mascot fingers and whatnot.
