"SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- An early morning brawl involving fraternity members armed with sticks and knives left one man dead on his 23rd birthday and several others injured Wednesday."

Sticks and knives. A pool hall.

Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid and hopelessly dated.

We're gonna rock it tonight, We're gonna jazz it up and have us a ball....
