Friday the 13th study

"FRIDAY THE 13th" study

We've all done weird things in our lives, this was the weirdest. We talked about doing THIS for years though, so in some way I am proud of us for going through with it and no one giving up before the "project" was completed.As the day/evening/morning went on, our tallies became less and less accurate, our sentences became shorter and less lucid, so forgive us. But I think it's best to let our "studies" speak for themselves.

The Project:
What: Watching all Friday the 13th movies starring Jason in a row.
When: Nov. 10-Nov. 11
Personnel information:4 dudes (myself, Matt, Joe, and Harry)
19.5 beers per person
20 combined smoke breaks (we lost count after a while)
10 phone calls that went unanswered
8 pages of notes we kept

0 time(s) we left my house
0 time(s) we switched seats on the couches

Things we kept track of in the films:
82 kills that we were aware of
17 sets of bare female breasts

2 victims who used the bathroom but didn't wipe
