Part of the plan for this blog is going to be that every Tuesday, you will be able to come here and find an awesome party theme idea that you and your fellow Terrapins can use for the weekend. The classics (Adjective Something-that-ends-in-O’s & Adjective Hoes) get tiring everywhere you go and Maryland is no exception to the rule. It’s like doing the same Mad-Lib over and over again – [adjective] = boring. So I will bring a fresh twist to the party game, starting today.

Some of these themed parties have actually been thrown, some are going to be thrown, and some are only young, ripe ideas.
 

“Field Hockey Players & Dragon Slayers”
Fellas, show the modern day athletic-but-cute-at-the-same-time woman that besides snuffing out fires, your chivalrous party engine can make it hot too.

Description: Who says a party theme has to have continuity? How about we mix it up for a change with something random, yet structured at the same time? Plus, it rhymes…
 

Ladies:
Dress Code - Plaid skirt, polo shirt, high socks, matching colors, and a cleverly located ponytail (side, top, pig?) tied with a ribbon.
Supplies Needed - Nothing. You’ve probably got it all in your closet.
Bonus Points – Anyone with mouth guard and/or a brisk sweat.
 

Fellas:
Dress Code - Lots of shiny armor, war helmet, shield, and sword.
Supplies Needed – A butt-load of aluminum foil.
Bonus Points – Anyone who rubs charcoal on their face so it looks like they just got out of the heat of battle…the maidens will swoon.
 

Drinks: Any type of shot that you light on fire; wooden kegs of mead.
 

Location: Lots of spots available - preferably outdoors, maybe a backyard somewhere across Route One, at a Knox Box or off Metzerott.

Musical Suggestions:

• The Battle Of Evermore by Led Zeppelin
• Greensleeves by Robin Hood? Some minstrel? God?
• The Princess Bride OST

Remember, if you don't like this theme, it only the first of many themes to come. On the contrary, is there anyone out there brave and courageous enough to slay this dragon throw this jam?
