10 Contrary to what GH would have us believe, Burt Bacharach is NOT appropriate rave music. 9 Kids dancing recklessly in the stairway could lead to a fad more dangerous than the die-hard "running with scissors" fad that killed and wounded so many in MY day. 8 We can swallow the neon lighting being replaced with fluorescent lights; we can buy the fact that the kids could hear themselves talking over the music, but are we really supposed to believe that the rave organizer would hire Audrey to chaperone?
7 Women sober AND having consensual sex. 6 Ecstacy pills are really nothing more than Flintstones Vitamins widdled down to an appealing, illegal-looking oval shape. 5 No cheap sex happening on the living room floor. 4 Drink called Toxic Rum Punch is really just blue Kool-Aid mixed with butterscotch Life Savers. 3 No gag Fly-In-The-Ice-Cube in the punch bowl and no condom water balloons being tossed around. 2 "You want some date rape drugs for your lady friend, there?" "No way! My parents prepared me for this moment so I am going to exercise my right to say NO TO DRUGS." And the NUMBER ONE Thing That Was "Off" At The Rave Is ....... Sequin-shorted DJ keeps beckoning the kids to "get down and sweat to the oldies!"
