			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/kid_rock.jpg" alt="kid_rock.jpg" align="left" />First Britney Spears created a <a href="http://www.britneyspearsperfume.net/">perfume</a>. Then Jessica Simpson started <a href="http://www.jessica-simpson.org/">designing clothes</a>. Then Lindsay Lohan threatened to bring us leggings with <a href="http://www.collegecandy.com/style/10470">built-in knee pads</a>&#8230;.</p>
<p>And now <a href="http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080924/ENT07/809240320">Kid Rock will be brewing beer</a>?!</p>
<p>WTF is up with celebrities trying to do it all? Just because you are good at rocking the stage (or mediocre at best, if you are Jessica Simpson) doesn&#8217;t mean that you know how to design bedding. Or a nice smelling perfume.</p>
<p>And just because you happen to drink a lot of beer doesn&#8217;t mean that you should start brewing it. I drink a lot of beer; do you see me coming out with a Wolverine Brew? No! Because while I know how to consume beer quickly (beer pong), I don&#8217;t know the first thing about brewing mother f&#8211;king beer.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s next? Paris Hilton uses a ton of condoms (I imagine); is she gonna launch a line of <span style="font-style:italic;">Paris Couture Condoms</span>? Is Britney Spears going to release her very own <span style="font-style:italic;">Spears-Anti-Psyhoctic</span> meds? Will Snoop Dog create his own Super Snoop Weed?</p>
<p>Kid, I think you are pretty good on stage, but I don&#8217;t think you really have it in you to create a beer. I mean, you are Kid Rock for God&#8217;s sake; your lifestyle is more aligned with trailers and chewing tobacco than with a nice, smooth brew. We already have Keystone, Schlitz and PBR; do we really need another low quality keg?</p>
<p>Would you drink Kid Rock Beer?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/31/host-family-at-dinner-table.jpg?w=459&#038;h=354" title="host-family-at-dinner-table.jpg" alt="host-family-at-dinner-table.jpg" align="right" height="354" width="459" />One of the joys of maturing into responsible adults is the new, more equal relationship we can establish with our parents. It&#8217;s cool to be able to grab a brewski at family barbecues (double-y cool because you didn&#8217;t have to pay for it), usually leading to an awesome opportunity to sit around and gab with the fam about your hilarious exploits away at school.</p>
<p>This table time can often result in blackmail-worthy anecdotes about your Mom&#8217;s coed days from Uncle Bill. Unfortunately, it can also result in HORRIBLE AWKWARDNESS should you overshare and let slip any of the following (I know, I thought they&#8217;d be cool with it too):</p>
<p><strong>1) That time you got so drunk at the club that you passed out in the bathroom.</strong></p>
<p>Also not good to share: the fact that your equally wasted friends did not notice your sudden absence, and were alerted to your condition only when the cleaning staff found you at 6 am. This story, while earning you street cred amongst your fellow college lushes (I think it&#8217;s hilarious, obv), will not go over well with Mom for various reasons. 1) Contrary to her own experiences in college, she would like to believe that you&#8211;her responsible and intelligent daughter&#8211; would never participate in such tomfoolery. 2) She ain&#8217;t sending you to school to get drunk.</p>
<p>Best to skip this little tale and save it for a more appropriate time: boasting during &#8220;This one time, I was so drunk&#8230;&#8221; circles.<span id="more-10833"></span></p>
<p><strong>2) The time your random roommate had their (um, and your) apartment raided by the DEA.</strong></p>
<p>A stretch, I know, but I&#8217;ve heard stranger. Basically any drug-related incident that you were (unfairly) implicated in, and later had your good name cleared from does not need to be shared with Mom &amp; Dad. You obviously handled the situation, and your parents do not need the added stress of constantly fearing for your safety from drug dealers. Plus, I mean, what are the odds of that happening twice? But, you know&#8211; if it does&#8211;<em>then </em>you should probably tell them. And, also, avoid rooming blind.</p>
<p><strong>3) Any minute details of your sex life.</strong></p>
<p>In fact, pretend you don&#8217;t have a sex life. Do they know you&#8217;re probably not sitting in your room knitting on Friday nights? Yes. Do they want to be informed that you are, quite commonly, grinding with a hot guy or making out with said stud? Um, no. All they need to know is that you&#8217;re responsible about your <em>activities</em>, you have a clean bill of health, and they have no impending grandchildren. Unless your mom is a wacky, <a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/040812/12717__fockers_l.jpg">new age sex therapist</a>, a high school <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202402/fullcredits#cast">health teacher</a>, or Lorelai Gilmore, just&#8230;you know, <em>skip it.</p>
<p></em></p>
<p><strong>4) That you didn&#8217;t earn those fab grades with perfect attendance.</strong></p>
<p>If you are one of those chosen few who attends class for first day attendance, paper due dates and the final exam in exclusivity yet still pulls an A &#8211; good for you (I hate you!). JK, you&#8217;re not that bad, just lucky. Anyhoo, though, your parents don&#8217;t want to know that you are the one hit wonder of attendance, and that you spent most lectures doing more productive things with your time. They&#8217;re happy with the end result (your kick ass GPA), but by no means do they need to be enlightened that your tuition covers an average 5 days of class. Keep up the good(?) work, but keep your lips sealed.</p>
<p><strong>5) AN.Y.THING. that happened on Spring Break.</strong></p>
<p>What to tell them: Where you&#8217;re going, where you&#8217;re staying, emergency contact numbers, and when you&#8217;ll be home. That&#8217;s it. For me, this is a given as I pay for my own spring break adventures and my mom simply pretends the week itself does not exist. But seriously, even if your parents &#8220;really do want to know how your spring break was, just curious!&#8221; DO.NOT. TELL THEM. Describe the beautiful landscape, the quaint shopping, the exorbitant cost of &#8220;bottled water&#8221;. Just don&#8217;t tell them what you did, who you did, or where you did it. Capiche? What happens on Spring Break&#8230;will get dragged up during future references to your faults should you ever tell your parents what <em>really</em> went down.</p>
