Hello my friends, and welcome to my Darius guide. Personally, I really like Darius and I consider him to be my main, Darius carried my way to Gold ELO. I hope you will learn a lot about Darius in this guide and that you will continue to go on maniacal rampages decapitating people with Darius.
About Me
I started League of Legends at February 2011, around when Jarvan IV was released. Being an avid FPS/Sandbox gamer, I always liked characters with brute force and nothing else. I looked for the champion who fit me the most, and at the time it was Veigar I just loved his huge burst. In Season 1 I was 800 ELO sadly, being a typical baddie. Then I started studying the game and I reached 1614 in season 2. Around that time, I discovered Darius. I found out that his playstyle fits exactly mine, and I haven't given up on the champ ever since.
I was motivated to write this guide because of my love for this champion.
Note: In no way do I claim that I am the best Darius player. I just want to share what I think is best for this champion.
Some stats:
I do kinda hate ranked though, so if you're disappointed at the amount of games I've played in ranked I'm sorry.
Pros / Cons
Who is Darius? Why Darius?
Who is Darius?
Darius is an anti-Tanky DPS champion who excels at dueling and picking up tremendous amounts of kills through his sheer power and damage. One thing that makes him so strong against other bruisers is that he deals physical, magical and true damage in his entire kit. This means that he is extremely difficult to counter and bruisers will often suffer if they build too much defense. Although Darius is a high damage champion, he is at his weakest if he needs to escape as he has no escapes whatsoever. This means you should always build a bit of defense with Darius.
Why Darius?
Simple. Pick him to completely shut down other bruisers and proceed to kill everything. Darius snowballs at an extremely high rate due to the raw damage of Noxian Guillotine and Hemorrhage. At top lane Darius is an almost unstoppable champion (save being ganked) who can lane and harass extremely well.
When not to pick Darius?
The worst thing you can do as a Darius player is to pick him when the enemy has kiting champions, namely Anivia, Janna or Ashe. Since Darius has absolutely no gap closers, he can be kited to hell in teamfights and/or when chasing. So if you see a team with kite written all over it, don't pick Darius.
Personally I think Darius should have runes that maximize his damage output while giving him early tankiness for easier trades.
9x Greater Mark of Attack Damage Easier last hitting and damage
9x Greater Seal of Armor For AD top lanes
9x Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist For mages
3x Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage Same reason as above.
I don't like taking Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed. Why? That movespeed won't matter if you are being constantly kited. Plus, the more AD the more damage you can get. If you need movespeed rush an early Trinity Force.
However, if you do feel that the movespeed suits you better, feel free to take it. The early movespeed can help pick up kills and escape.
I like to go 9/21/0 on Darius. Why? 21/9/0 would make Darius too squishy to be effective. 0/21/9 is not an ideal choice either because you would have no damage. 9/21/0 gives you some damage with tankiness that will make you stay durable for the rest of the game.
Darius aims his attacks strategically, causing his target to bleed for 12 / 15 / 18 / 21 / 24 / 27 / 30 / 33 / 36 (+0.3 per bonus attack damage) magic damage over 5 seconds. This effect stacks up to five times.
Darius gains 5% movement speed for each bleeding enemy champion.
This is a great passive that is extremely damaging and will often drop your targets unnoticeably quickly. This is the heart of Darius' kit. It will help Crippling Strike and Noxian Guillotine (which I will explain later) while also making Darius harder to itemize against due to it dealing magic damage. Abuse this passive in the laning phase, it wins lanes by a huge amount. It's also a 5 second DoT, so you can actually kill someone even if they escaped.
Also, the movespeed will make you harder to kite. Try to get 1 stack of Hemorrhage on each target when teamfighting.
Darius swings his axe in a wide circle. Enemies struck by the shaft take 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210 (+0.7 per bonus attack damage) physical damage. Champions struck by the blade take 105 / 157.5 / 210 / 262.5 / 315 (+1.05 per bonus attack damage) physical damage.
I really like this skill due to the fact that it deals such a high amount of damage with a decent range. Getting a feel for the "danger zone" will be one thing you should do as it deals a high amount of burst damage. Use this skill to quickly apply Hemorrhage to all enemies in teamfights for the increased movespeed, or to quickly harass the enemy laner and back off. When the enemy is low, combo a Decimate > Noxian Guillotine for a stylish finisher with high burst damage.
Crippling Strike
Darius's next attack severs a crucial artery, dealing 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 % additional physical damage. As the target bleeds out, their movement and attack speeds are slowed by 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 % for 2 seconds. Crippling Strike's cooldown is reduced by 1 second for each stack of Hemorrhage on the target.
I really like this ability as it makes dueling Darius a nightmare and you can permaslow people with the cooldown reduction passive. A quick Apprehend into Crippling Strike is a good way to get people into your comfort zone and unload on them, or to make them tank tower shots. In teamfights, try to land this on the enemy diver when they dive onto your AD carry, Crippling Strike will reduce their damage by a high amount.
Remember, the ability resets your autoattack timer so use it right after you hit someone with a basic attack to maximize damage output.
Darius hones his axe, granting him 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 % passive armor penetration. When activated, Darius sweeps up his enemies with his axe's hook and pulls them to him.
A fairly simple spell that grabs all enemies in front of Darius. One thing to note is that you can grab people regardless of whether there are minions blocking you or not. When you engage on an enemy, don't use Apprehend first. Use Crippling Strike and Apprehend them if they start getting away.
The armor penetration is also a useful factor for Darius it means he won't have to itemize for armor penetration that much.
Noxian Guillotine
Darius leaps to an enemy Champion and strikes a lethal blow, dealing 160 / 250 / 340 (+0.75 per bonus attack damage) true damage. This damage increases by 20% for each stack of Hemorrhage on the target up to a maximum of 320 / 500 / 680 (+1.5 per bonus attack damage) true damage. If Noxian Guillotine deals a killing blow, its cooldown is refreshed for 12 seconds.
One of the best ultimates out there. A true damage execute with 680 base damage which refreshes on kill? Yes! This skill is what makes Darius so lethal, the snowballing and power packed within this skill is enormous. Abuse it often to get kills as you will be extremely ahead. Make sure to get some killing blows as the cooldown refreshes on each kill, enabling you to nuke your enemies extremely hard.
Keep track of the opponents health, as the earlier you execute the faster you can attack other enemies or retreat. One thing to note is that 1 bar of health = 100 health.
Sometimes, if an opponent is too tanky but needs to die, you won't have to execute them with Noxian Guillotine. Simply apply 5 stacks of Hemorrhage and drop them low with Noxian Guillotine. You can use this tactic in a desperate attempt to immediately drop someone to low health.
Also, if you are sure you can kill your opponent without the use of your ultimate, do so to save mana and prevent the 12 second refresh.
Summoner Spells
I take Flash and Smite/ Ignite
Flash is VERY IMPORTANT! I can't stress how much Flash has helped me in game. You can do a Flash / Apprehend or escape easily. Darius loves this spell.
Smite for jungling.
Ignite because it stacks with Hemorrhage, and you can kill people easily.
Ghost if you want to get to skirmishes quicker or you somehow hate Flash. I don't really like this spell on Darius though, with all the slows in this game you won't get to a target/escape without using Flash
Like H4xDefender stated, it's also a good choice against your counters like Jayce. By taking ghost you can all in them and they would use their kiting ability and Flash, but Ghost still covers all the distance you need to kill them. Go check out H4xDefenders Darius guide, he's diamond so he probably knows more than I do.
Exhaust if you want to be a more aggressive ganker, not recommended however as Crippling Strike will serve as a better Exhaust.
As Darius, item choices are very diverse for you. However, choosing the right items for the right situation is a critical stage to succeed in your games.
Starting items are an essential part of the early game as it basically defines the advantage or disadvantage you have against your enemy.
This is a better start now that 9 pots have been limited. You can upgrade Rejuvenation Bead into Warmog's Armor, Locket of the Iron Solari or Ravenous Hydra. |
This would be another alternative if you plan on saving gold early-mid game. It's better than Elixir of Fortitude now that the price got increased by 100. |
This is another option that I rarely buy. I would only go this path if I'm against a bully top lane who can shut me down Jayce, but they do not have a good ganking jungler. |
Boots are a big part of what makes a full build on a champion. The extra mobility really helps getting to places a lot faster, along with many extra bonuses that come along with it.
A good item to buy against AD top lanes, you should buy this after getting your first small damage item, or you can rush it if you are having difficulty in lane. |
A good item to buy against AP top lanes, you should buy this after getting your first small damage item, or you can rush it if you are having difficulty in lane. Also, consider selling Ninja Tabi for this later in the game if you bought it. |
I would only recommend this if you go jungling, as the extra mobility can help you get to camps faster and you can gank more. |
Damage items are for when you feel like you need more damage over defense, which will give you exactly what you asked for, damage. Often times you would buy a damage item if you killed your lane opponent a few times, or you have high CS.
This is a good item as an alternative to Ravenous Hydra as your only damage item if you expect the enemy to build lots of armor. Even though you miss out on the lifesteal, the armor reduction is nice for your passive and your AD carries. |
Trinity Force is a damage item which gives you a little bit of everything. Thankfully, no stats are wasted on Darius (save for AP). The deal-breaker about this item is the passive proc, which gives you a lot of damage when stacked with Crippling Strike. |
Combined with The Black Cleaver, Apprehends passive, and
Weapon Expertise
, you can say goodbye to any of your enemies attempts to build armor. |
Core damage item on Darius. Rush this everygame and just build according to the situation onwards. |
Not a good item to rush, but if they all have 2600+ health, why not? |
Defensive options are often what makes you able to last through fights and duels. You would want to buy at least two defensive items to ensure you live through destroying the enemy. It is also a good idea to build defensive items as Darius when you are losing your lane.
This item is really good because it's super cheap and it gives you 1000 health, effectively letting you tank lots of damage. |
I honestly think that Guardian Angel is an awesome item in terms of protecting a person. You get a second life to destroy your enemies! The defenses are just the icing on the cake. |
This item is an option if you need a bit of everything in defense. I do not recommend buying this if your support and/or jungler have this item, however. |
The passive is essentially a 6th bleed stack, it's never bad on Darius. |
Randuins gives you so much slows, and it gives you health as well. Great item for tanking, and is a counter to Blade of the Ruined King. |
Super cost-efficient item, it's just a lot of bang for your buck. Should be one of your first choices for def items. |
These items are extremely good on almost all bruisers. This is because, like the title, they give both damage and defense. Both of these stats are what bruisers crave for and what better way is there to increase your effectiveness other than buying damage/defense hybrids?
You already have a permaslow so getting this would be overkill, but it's still decent if they have a lot of dashes. |
Nowhere near as good as Hexdrinker, it's more of an upgrade to AD than defense, so buy wisely. |
Mercurial Scimitar is a good item if you often find yourself CC locked in fights. However, I only recommend buying Quicksilver Sash and upgrading it really late into the game as the upgrade isn't very worth upgrading. |
Buying the right items for laning
Obviously early game in solo queue is everything. Being Darius, you would need to maximize your early potential to compensate for your bad late game.
First, get into your lane and observe your enemy. Is he/she an ability power based champion like Rumble, or an attack damage based champion like Riven? You should build accordingly.
For example, when laning against AD's, I usually get an item sequence like this:
There are other options as well. An early Glacial Shroud or Warden's Mail can help if you are building tank and relying on base damage, or if you are looking to recover from an early gank or first blood, a Doran's Blade can help you greatly.
When laning against AP's, I usually rush a Hexdrinker and build everything else later:
Feel free to change between The Brutalizer or Phage depending on your needs. Also, I do not recommend getting an early Negatron Cloak as it does not build into an item that fits Darius very well. Maybe Banshee's Veil if you are playing against a poke comp.
Laning against AD/AP: Mercury's Treads OR Ninja Tabi
Need a bit of survivability and damage? Buy Phage/double Doran's Blade
Need snowballing items? Buy The Brutalizer/ Tiamat into Ravenous Hydra
Against AP? Buy Hexdrinker
Struggling in lane? Buy Doran's Blade AND/OR philosopher's stone, Giant's Belt
Dominating lane? Get The Black Cleaver/ Ravenous Hydra/ Trinity Force
Only tank on your team? Buy Warden's Mail/ Runic Bulwark/ Hexdrinker/ Sunfire Cape
Don't know what to build? Get tank items.
As you can see, Darius has many item build paths and you should definitely focus on what item you need the most.
I do not recommend jungling with Darius in the new jungle. This is because he has absolutely no sustain and he will become low various times when jungling. Your build options are also slightly limited if you jungle, compared to top lane. However, if you have no choice, then I will guide you through jungling with Darius.
It's even worse now that his ultimate got nerfed and he can no longer have really strong ganks everytime post-6.
First, do the standard blue path.
Wolves > Blue > Wraiths > Wolves OR Golems > Red > Wraiths
The bottom left corner of the image has the legend for reference.
Take Decimate at level 1 and start shredding creeps. Remember to tell your teammates to look out for early invades if you're going to start blue, and vice-versa if you're going to start red.
Of course, you will have to start Hunter's Machete and 5 Health Potions. Usually I buy a Spirit Stone for Spirit of the Elder Lizard and Boots of Mobility/ Ninja Tabi as my core jungle items, and then from onwards I buy whatever I need, which is usually tank items.
It's not a good idea to buy Wriggle's Lantern, you only get 15 AD, **** lifesteal and +200 magic damage on procs (up from 300 due to madred's razor), not worth the gold you're paying fo(Waste of gold since you can't build it into other items later in the game)
When ganking, attempt to quickly use Decimate in the "danger zone" and autoattack + Crippling Strike. If they Flash away, use Apprehend and keep beating them until they're dead.
If ganking a hard to gank lane, try Flash + Apprehend + auto attack + Crippling Strike + Decimate.
Also, remember to ward! Warding helps your team greatly in map control and that 75 gold might just save you from a 3 man gank. Always buy 1-2 wards whenever you go back to base if you can afford it.
If you want to know more just watch Stonewall008's videos, I'm a huge fanboy of him and you should be too.
Early Game
Early game is Darius' strongest point. There are almost no bruisers who can trade with Darius in a straight 1v1 and you should attempt to force fights if possible. Balance last hitting and harassing so you can keep an effective gold income while zoning the enemy. When attempting to harass, walk within the "danger zone" of Decimate and use the ability. It will take off a good chunk of health. When trading, attempt a Decimate into an Apprehend + auto attack + Crippling Strike. This will apply 3 quick stacks of Hemorrhage while letting you attack twice more to have 5 stacks on the enemy.
Remember to ward often and be careful not to push too hard as Darius is very prone to being ganked.
Mid Game
Mid Game is a point where Darius starts becoming a killing machine if you've managed early kills or a high amount of CS. Try to roam often as Darius has so much damage in ganks. I like to gank mid often as the enemy mage is often the squishiest target on the team and should be an easy head to chop off.
Also, remember to stay with your teammates during skirmishes as Darius pretty much annihilates people during small skirmishes.
Your fighting combo should be Decimate > Apprehend > Ignite > autoattack > Crippling Strike > two autoattacks > one more Decimate if needed > Noxian Guillotine.
If you can't reach them with Decimate:
Apprehend > Ignite autoattack > Crippling Strike > Decimate > 2 autoattacks > one more Decimate if needed > Noxian Guillotine.
Late Game
This is where Darius falls off. It's not his damage that falls off however, it's his usefulness overall. Since AD carries are now dominant, you are prone to being kited and focused. Since Darius has no natural tankiness, you might die very quickly. Play cautiously and wait for your initiator to initiate. Try to stay near your AD carry as Darius is a great peeler. Remember to catch squishies that are out of position and chop their heads off. It is unlikely that you can catch any of their squishies in a high ranking match.
Lane match-ups
Bear in mind that you win every single all-in fights at level 6 (except Elise because she's a ***** champ), unless you fed them a kill/behind in cs.
Difficulty: Easy
- Constantly harass Akali, she is squishy.
- If she hides in her Twilight Shroud, Apprehend her out of it.
- Call MIAs often to prevent her from snowballing.
- Be aware of her level 6 as her power spike is super high.
Difficulty: Medium
- Cho'Gath is too tanky to be killed, focus on farming.
- Don't get harassed by his Feral Scream too much.
- If he starts getting aggressive, start trading and ult before he does.
- Ward often, Cho'Gath works well with allied gankers.
Difficulty: Depends
- Darius can do the exact same things as you can do, so be careful.
- The person to win the lane is the person who gets the first kill in lane.
- Try to land as much Decimates as possible.
- If in a struggling trade, use Noxian Guillotine and Ignite afterwards and Flash out (Not killing them with your ult)
Dr. Mundo
Difficulty: Easy
- Decimate will hurt him hard early on.
- Call for ganks early, nobody likes a fed and unkillable Dr. Mundo.
- Try to avoid Apprehending him early as that makes you vulnerable to his Burning Agony
- Ignite his Sadism so you can kill him easier.
Difficulty: **** this champion.
- You must start with heaps of pots because her Neurotoxin hurts.
- Dodge Cocoon.
- Stay around the middle of her Rappel if she tries to escape.
- Again, grabbing her will lead to you being stunned and counter-harassed.
Difficulty: Non-existant
- Try to bait her Riposte before using Crippling Strike.
- An early Ninja Tabi shuts her down completely.
- Don't use Decimate if she Lunges onto you, this deals less damage.
- Use Noxian Guillotine early if you need to, Blade Waltz counters Noxian Guillotine completely.
Difficulty: Medium
- He will poke you often with Parrrley, try to stay back and farm for a bit until you get higher in levels.
- If he maxes Remove Scurvy, ignore him and farm.
- Once you get your items you can murder him easily.
- Don't stand in his ult in a 1v1 or you will lose.
Difficulty: Medium
- Garen has an early game almost equivalent to yours, except he doesn't use mana.
- Attack him when he's done with his abilities, Garen has no damage outside of them.
- Try to Decimate him if he runs towards you with Decisive Strike.
- You might die to Demacian Justice if you don't use Noxian Guillotine quick enough.
Difficulty: Medium
- Don't duel Irelia, she has too much sustain to be bothered with.
- Stay ahead in gold if you want to win against an Irelia.

- Jarvan IV runs OOM easily, force trades often.
- Getting an early Phage will help against his mobility.
Difficulty: Medium
- Stay away from Jax when he has Counter Strike on.
- Avoid using Decimate if he Leap Strikes onto you, this deals less damage.
- Check your death recap to see whether to buy armor or MR as he deals both types of damage.
- Decimate spam is an easy way out of this lane.
Difficulty: Hard
- You will get poked often so pots are vital in this matchup.
- Jayce can harass you, but he can't duel you. This is an essential difference from good and bad Jayces.
- Getting an early gank will enable you to win against Jayce.
- Dodge his empowered Shock Blasts, they hurt a lot.
Difficulty: Hard
- Like Jayce, pots are vital in this matchup.
- Kayle can only harass you but she cannot duel you. If you can get a good grab onto her you can win the lane.
- Don't get too greedy with Noxian Guillotine as Intervention will stop that.
- You can stay near your minions if Kayle uses Righteous Fury, it pushes her lane and enables your jungler to gank.
Difficulty: Medium
- Take last hits with Decimate if he pokes too much with autoattacks.
- An early Hexdrinker will enable you to deal with Kennen.
- Dodge his Thundering Shuriken often.
- Misuse of Apprehend can be premature due to Slicing Maelstrom.
Lee Sin
Difficulty: Easy
- Dodge his Sonic Wave to prevent bursts.
- Avoid Apprehending him, this allows Lee Sin to use Tempest.
- Don't underestimate his Q+R+Q combo, it is just as deadly as Noxian Guillotine.
- If he maxes Tempest first, don't get ganked or else you will feel the pain.

Difficulty: Easy
- Wukong runs OOM easily, force trades.
- Be careful of ulting the fake Wukong.

Ciderhelm's Don't Feed Darius:
A beautiful Darius pentakill by c0n3x /league-of-legends/champion/darius-98
Why you shouldn't kill-steal as Darius:
Thanks for reading my guide on Darius. I hope you have learned a lot from my guide and you will continue to use the square-jawed executioner we all love. And don't forget to...
(Fenixborn ftw!)
~ Phil Collins
Patch thoughts
Patch 3.03
Noxian Guillotine
- When Noxian Guillotine kills the target, it can be recast within the next 12 seconds. This can occur multiple times in succession
- Cooldown adjusted to 120/100/80 seconds from 100 at all ranks
This is a slight nerf to Darius' laning as he can no longer kill his opponent repeatedly now. It's not really a big deal in lane, but this is a huge nerf to jungle darius because now you can't have high damage ganks repeatedly. Also, it's a nerf to Darius' late game as well because now you can't use it outside of teamfights during late game, or else it will go on cooldown. Overall this is pretty bad for Darius.

With the New Year, I'd like to share with you upcoming astronomical events in 2014. We begin the year with Jupiter at its best. This is an event that we call opposition. Opposition is when a superior planet (a planet whose orbit is beyond the Earth's orbit around the sun) is opposite the sun in our sky. At opposition, a superior planet is up all night, rising at sundown and setting at sunrise. It's also the time when a superior planet is closest to earth, and hence best for viewing. Look for Jupiter in the east shortly after sunset. It will look like a bright star. It will be hard to miss, for there will be no stars as bright as Jupiter. Binoculars likely will show some of its four Galilean satellites—moons discovered by Galileo four centuries ago. Through a telescope the planet will look like a small disk, and you may even see dark bands in Jupiter's atmosphere. Jupiter will be visible in the evening sky until early summer.
In late January and early February Mercury will be visible in the southwest shortly after sunset. Like Jupiter, it will look like a star, though not nearly as bright. You'll have to look early because Mercury will set before the sky is dark. Being the closest planet to the sun, Mercury is not easy to see, but evening visibility early in the year usually is good. It will be easiest to find on January 31, when a very thin crescent moon will be nearby. Through a telescope, Mercury can be disappointing—it's very small, low in a murky sky, and not visible in a dark sky.
Mars comes to opposition on April 8. While the other superior planets are only slightly better to see at opposition as opposed to any other time, the situation is very different for Mars. Because its orbit is much closer to the Earth's orbit, the apparent size of Mars can vary by a factor of ten. Mars normally appears quite small, but for a month or two near opposition it appears much larger than normal. And Martian oppositions occur only every 26 months, so astronomers have to wait more than two years between good opportunities to see Mars well.
The following month, on May 10, Saturn comes to opposition. Then for the next two months all three naked-eye superior planets will be in the evening sky. Saturn's rings will be visible in even a small telescope. Saturn easily is my favorite thing to view through a telescope. I've probably looked at it 10,000 times, but the next time will be just as breathtaking as the first time was many years ago.
There will be three eclipses visible from the USA in 2014—two total lunar eclipses and one partial solar eclipse. The first lunar eclipse will be on the morning of April 15, while the second will be the morning of October 8. The partial solar eclipse will be two weeks later, late on October 23. I'll provide more information about the eclipses as those dates near.
These are just the highlights for 2014—there is far more. I'll update you from time to time throughout the year. I hope some of you can visit the Johnson Observatory here at the Creation Museum on one of our Stargazer's Nights.
Raft Through the Grand Canyon
There's still room for you on the Grand Canyon raft trip, "Astronomy by Night, Geology by Day," June 29 through July 5, 2014! This exciting trip combines good fellowship, great food, fun running the river, instruction about how Grand Canyon is confirming evidence for the Flood, and, of course, an opportunity to enjoy the stars. Besides naked-eye and binocular astronomy in a dark sky, I will bring along our powerful Questar telescope on this trip. Saturn will be awesome! I encourage you to find out more details and register online.

Why It's Good to Scare Your Kids
Image credit: Resident on Earth, used under Creative Commons license.
We were recently Skyping with my daughter's grandparents, when we started to sing "Ring Around The Rosy." We all sang along happily, until we got to the part about "ashes, ashes". Somehow the line had been changed to "upstairs, downstairs" presumably, I think, to not scare kids.
Are We Over Sanitizing Our Culture?
It's true, as a nursery rhyme that has its roots in the bubonic plague outbreak of 1666 that killed 20% of London's population, it's not exactly an upbeat song. And I know that Lilia's grandparents (Mr and Mrs Baby Whisperer) are about the best influence I could imagine on my daughter. Nevertheless, I can't help but get a little nervous about overly sanitizing our children's cultural intake, and protecting them from exposure to any form of upsetting, edgy or even scary stories or news.
I should note that I have a pretty dark sense of humor, a taste for bad horror movies, and an ambition to write the world's first great environmental horror novel (compost-modern horror is a genre that is yet to be fully exploited). I have also been known to dance around to Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath with Lilia, though my wife occasionally has to point out that certain lyrics really aren't appropriate to be repeated to a 19 month old.
Fear Can Be Good to Explore
But I'm not alone. Some of the greatest children's stories ever told have elements of darkness, even scariness, and I can't help feeling that it is not a bad thing. The world is not a perfect place. Bad things happen. Like allowing your kids to explore danger, exposure, in moderation of course, to stories that depict these things - as long as that exposure is put in context by a caring, dependable adult who can talk through what a child is hearing - seems like it may help children to process the real world around them.(Of course that adult should also pay close attention, and not continue reading if a child is visibly disturbed or terrified.)
If I think back to my own childhood, I have fond memories of my mum, who is Finnish, reading Tove Jansson's Comet in Moominland to me at a very young age. While I remember being genuinely scared about the threat of a comet destroying beautiful Moomin Valley, I also remember cuddling up to Mum and, to some extent, enjoying that fear in the safe surroundings of a loving adult. (Weirdly, she also used to read us a poem about a frog that ate some yeast and grew so big it swallowed the sun - that really did scare the crap out of me!)
There Are Many Different Kinds of Scary
Ultimately though, the decision is not just as simple as "do I allow my kid to hear scary stories", but rather we also need to think about what stories he or she will hear. I wouldn't, for example, want my child to hear many of the original Grimm fairytales, which have some horrific, macabre, and I find unnecessarily violent imagery. And I've never been a fan of cartoon violence, so was pleased to hear that kids don't really dig it either. Yet I would be delighted if Lilia also finds herself just a little uneasy as she hears about the threat looming over Moominland, or cowers at the thought of the Wicked Witch of the West. (In fact the idea of her watching too much of the Fresh Beat Band scares me a whole lot more.)
It will be a while yet before I sit down with Lilia to watch a decent slasher movie. But I'm not worried if she gets her own little frights from time-to-time. I'm increasingly finding that she tells us what she wants to watch, read, or listen to - and as long as we pay attention to what she finds stimulating and enjoyable, I suspect we should all live happily ever after.

Andaz Wall Street, New York City
The best of the bathroom: One of our all-time hotel bathroom pet peeves is when an otherwise luxuriously appointed bathroom neglects to provide a nook for stashing your toothbrush or a hook for hanging up your robe. That's what makes the David Rockwell–designed "rotating valet" at the Andaz Wall Street so brilliant. Conveniently bridging the bathroom and the bedroom, these massive, mirrored, bleached-wood wardrobes have hooks and nooks galore, plus a minibar and roomy compartments for your shoes and clothes. Closet space in Manhattan is a rare and precious commodity, but who knew it could become an art form? (Check out a video of the Andaz Wall Street rotating closets in action on our sister site Hotel Chatter.)
The rest of the bathroom: There's enough space for a rain dance in the walk-in shower. Extra-deep marble soaking tubs in the deluxe king rooms offer a nifty peekaboo window into the bedroom (if you're feeling voyeuristic…or just want to watch the TV). And the tile fixtures are dressed in jet-black, like any good New Yorker. Locals would also approve of the amenities from cult favorite C.O. Bigelow, the city's oldest apothecary.
Gotta go?

Dear readers! Today I bring you the final installment of student writing from my fall workshop at Koç. This piece, by senior literature major Ecem Kızıldağ, went through a particularly dramatic revision. It was originally only the story of Ecem's kidney-stone-related misadventures. In class, it emerged that we wanted some kind of counterpoint to offset the negative/ comic portrayal of the hospital staff—something perhaps serious, sad, or affectionate. Ecem was like, "OK, I can do sad." I hope you find her essay as moving as I did.
I've always despised hospitals. You know the feeling when your stomach clenches, right? That's exactly how I feel when I enter hospital doors. The smell of medicine, the painful and tired look on sick peoples' faces, cries, and moans… all these things terrify me. The worst thing is waiting for doctors to find a cure for you or for someone you care about.
Three years and four months ago I lost my mother. She had intestinal cancer and it spread to her lungs and liver. When I learned about it everyone told me to be prepared for everything; everything meant dying. How can you possibly wait for your mother's death? How can you be prepared? It sucked to see her suffer and I am still trying to delude myself by saying that she is not in pain anymore. Accepting is fucking difficult. She fought cancer for three years. She was always in hospitals, either for chemotherapy or begging doctors to give her more morphine. I took her to hospitals a few times, and even argued with doctors and nurses because I wasn't eighteen, not an adult. When I told them that there was no one else to call, they still asked for an adult. What the hell was their problem? They saw how my mom looked and I explained hundred times that she had cancer and was in pain because of the chemotherapy. Couldn't they just give the medicine and wait for her to feel better so that she could register herself?
Her last weeks were in a hospital in Adana where my aunts and grandmother live. She went there because she didn't want me to see her like that, and my aunts would take better care of her than I could. I was preparing meals for her and when she wouldn't eat—she ate very little—I didn't either. She hated that I was not eating.
While she was in Adana, we talked on the phone every day, so I didn't suspect anything. I asked my father's permission to visit her but he always made some excuse—he even took me to Belarus. I didn't suspect anything. Then one day he told me that we better go and visit my mom. I still didn't suspect anything. When we arrived in Adana, we went directly to a hospital. I couldn't understand why we were going there. My father told me that my mom was in a hospital since she was in pain. I didn't suspect anything because I knew that she had to visit doctors constantly. When the taxi stopped in front of the hospital, we met my favorite aunt. She said that my mom was in the intensive care unit. They dragged me to the intensive care unit and my aunt told me to stay calm and not cry. When I entered to the unit, the woman looking at me was not my mother. She was half her weight and her eyes were popping out from her eye sockets. She was forcing a smile. I hugged her carefully and she said she was sorry for her smell, since she hadn't been able to take a shower for two weeks. She smelled exactly like herself, like my mom.
I did what I was told and didn't cry until I turned my back and started to walk out of the unit. I didn't want to believe what was happening. She was dying slowly in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything about it. I was way too angry with my father and aunts. They hadn't told me that her condition was getting worse. They hadn't told me anything. I had to face it all alone and all at once. I wanted to talk to her doctor, since nobody else told me truth. The doctor told me that the cancer cells were spreading, that now they covered all of her lungs, and that one should be prepared for everything. Asshole. We stayed three weeks in that hospital. My father and I stayed with my mother at nights and my aunts took the morning shift. Even though they were divorced, my mother still loved my dad like crazy. She was so happy that he was there for her. She knew that I had lost my appetite, and smoked too many cigarettes. She was worrying about me, while she was unable to stand up and walk. She still wanted me to be fine, while she was dying.
My mother died in that hospital, three weeks after I went to Adana. They say that it is forbidden to enter the intensive care unit. That's bullshit. We even squeezed grape juice in the unit for my mom. I slept in the bed next to hers.
As you see I have had bad experiences in hospitals. I usually try to skip hospitals if I am not too sick. However, one day an unbearable pain in my stomach woke me up from my sleep. At first I thought my period was coming early, but then I realized it was not the same pain. I forced myself to get out of bed to go to the toilet. I couldn't even walk straight. I had to bend double to take at most 15 steps to the toilet where I started crying from pain. I didn't know what to do; I never felt anything like this before. I hoped lying down would help, so I went back to bed. It didn't help. I was writhing in agony and crying my eyes out. Eventually I called my boyfriend and asked him to come and take me to a hospital. He freaked out when he heard me crying from pain like that. He told me that he was running to his car and hung up. After 3 minutes he called me and said that there were traffic jams as usual (it's not weird since we live in Istanbul). He lives in Beykoz and it would take him more than an hour to come to Sarıyer and even longer to take me to the hospital. We decided that I would take a cab to the hospital and he would meet me there.
I called Martı Taksi and asked for a cab, which I knew would come in four minutes, so I tried to get dressed. By "dressed," I mean wearing pajamas and a pullover, and believe me it was annoyingly difficult. I grabbed my purse and went out. When I got in the cab the driver looked at me with worried eyes and asked me what was wrong. I told him that my stomach was hurting so much that I couldn't breathe. He immediately told me that I was passing a kidney stone, which scared the living daylights out of me. I remembered what my mom told me when my uncle was passing a kidney stone. She said that he was jumping around from pain and his head almost touched the ceiling. I tried to find another reasons for the pain and none of them fit: I thought of appendicitis (but my left side was hurting not the right), or volvulus. Either of them is better than kidney stones; just a small operation and you will be fine. With kidney stones, you have to wait God knows how long till the stupid stone passes.
I asked the driver to take me to Acıbadem Hospital in Maslak, which is not far from Sarıyer, and is one of the most famous hospitals in Turkey. I hate hospitals but if it is unavoidable to go, I will choose the least smelly one. Also when Ibrahim Tatlıses was shot in the head, that's the hospital they took him to. I know, because there were hundreds of cars in front of the hospital waiting for the doctors or the press to release a statement about his condition. All the all the TV channels and newspapers were filled with Ibrahim Tatlıses's life and current situation. There was even news about another patient in the hospital tweeting about what was going on around him, which bothered the authorities and eventually they took the patient's laptop away (however, s/he continued to tweet from her smart phone).
The cab driver told me his terrifying experience about his kidney stone, which scared me even more. He closed the windows and told me to scream if I wanted to. I managed to keep it together and just moaned instead of screaming. When I arrived at Acıbadem's emergency room, the nurses saw me walking in as if I was about to puke and rushed towards me. One of them gave me a cup and asked me to give a urine sample. The problem was I didn't have to pee. At that moment my dear boyfriend entered. They helped me to lie down on one of those weird hospital beds with lots of buttons, and called the doctor. I think his name was Levent, but I'm not sure. He asked me where the pain was and if I was having my period. I looked at him as if he was crazy and said "It's not like that pain, if it were I wouldn't come to a hospital. Duh." He handed me the cup for the urine sample. I repeated that I couldn't. I was begging them to give some painkillers so that I could either talk properly or give the bloody urine sample. They replied that they had to figure out what was causing the pain first before giving me any medicine. I hated them. Okay I might not have been the worst case they had, but still it was unbearable.
Since I was not able to give a urine sample, they took a blood sample instead and kept me waiting in pain more than an hour until the results came. Finally, the doctor came in and told me that I had a passing kidney stone. The cab driver knew right away, but it took the doctor more than two hours to figure it out. I was immediately attended by an army of nurses—I think because there was only one other patient than me and the staff was bored—and finally I was united with my painkillers. I was in pain and about to lose conscious but still I was paying attention to the medicines they were giving me. They gave me a painkiller called Buscopan, which doesn't even stop my headaches. I was pissed and told the nurse to give something else. She said that Buscopan should be enough and I should wait a bit longer for the drug to take effect. Eventually the doctor ordered the nurse to give me more painkillers and other drugs in a serum.
Two hours later the sharp pain struck me again and I had to wake up my boyfriend who was sleeping in the chair beside me. He called the bitch nurse and they increased the amount of painkillers. He was sleeping because he played a video game all night and didn't sleep at all. When I called him crying at 11:30 in the morning he had been about to go to bed. After my third liter of serum the pain decreased. I think they even gave me some tranquilizer because I felt high and kept laughing at my boyfriend who was snoring away loudly beside me. I was trying to figure out the weird buttons on the bed to call the nurse to give me more painkillers, but my vision was blurry and I couldn't focus on them.
I woke up feeling better. I used the button to call the nurses and told them that I was ready to pee. I handed the cup to the male nurse and he told me that it was not necessary anymore. For five hours they kept bugging me to pee, and when I did they didn't bother taking it to the lab. Whatever. The doctor wrote a prescription for painkiller injections and some pills and told me to drink at least three liters of water and jump up and down for the stone to pass faster. How was I supposed to jump when I didn't have the energy to lift my finger?
All the drugs they gave me were making me smell like the hospitals. Even my eyes were burning because of the medicines. When we got home I took a long shower because I smelled like a hospital myself. Four days passed and the pain was not reducing a bit. We decided to go to another doctor—my boyfriend's grandfather's doctor, in a smaller hospital than Acıbadem. The nurses were very sweet and helpful. I told them what happened and the prescription the other doctor gave me. They asked for a urine sample. When my results came, they told me that the stone was stuck and had infected the area around it. That's why it was causing pain and was not passing. The doctor suggested that it was better to remove the stone with shock waves; however, I had to take antibiotics to stop the infection first.
Since I was a child I have had a problem with swallowing pills. My mother took me to doctors many times but they all said that nothing looked abnormal and it was probably psychological. Therefore, I asked the doctor to give me injections instead of pills. I am not afraid of needles or anything, but trust me, having twenty-four injections in total makes your butt hurt when you sit on it and it made me regret my decision.
The day of shock waves came and I was a bit scared. The machine makes a weird sound as if they are shooting guns. It is actually a painful process; you have to breathe very slowly and the waves hit you from your side to reach the stone. It is like someone is poking you with a sharp object. At the beginning it was annoying and hurt like hell, but after ten or fifteen hits I got used to it. I even started to enjoy it and asked the nurse if he could increase the level so that it would be over soon. He looked at me with disbelieving eyes—he said I was the first patient ever to ask for an increased level—and turned it up. I could feel the movements of the kidney stone and it actually made me happy because I was going to get rid of it.
I hoped they would say that it was over, but I am never that lucky. I learned that I have to go the hospital again for another shock wave session and I had to go back for regular checkups in the following weeks.
It took more time, more money and more energy for me to pass the kidney stones. If they hadn't rejected the urine sample I gave at Acıbadem, I wouldn't have to go to hospitals over and over again. I hate hospitals. I hate being in one. I keep remembering my mother and force myself not to lose it in front of other people. I hate the smell. I hate the nurses and doctors—especially the young doctors—because they are heartless and cold. They tell you bad news without any emotion, which makes them inhuman. I know an essay should end with a conclusion, but I don't really have one. My only conclusion is that I will keep avoiding hospitals as much as possible.

Ray Ban glasses. For those who have worn Ray Ban, and nearly everyone has, Ray-Ban glasses offer the same benchmarks of quality. Ray-Ban eyeglasses have the style, materials, craftsmanship, and comfort that we all have come to expect. You will find a choice of materials in traditional shapes, full frame and half frame, oval and rectangular. With Ray Ban glasses you cannot go wrong.
The Ray Ban eyeglasses line is relatively new, compared to the Ray Ban Sunglasses collection, having been introduced in the last 10 years. Most of the eyeglasses line follows the same classic lines as the sunglasses collection, with Wayfarer, Ronsir, and even aviator styles like the Ray Ban RX6049 eyeglasses frame, and the Ray Ban RX8403 eyeglasses frame.
The Ray Ban eyeglasses collection includes a variety of styles in plastics and metals. Most frames have a rectangular shape variation. The most popular Ray Ban glasses frame by far is the RX5121 Wayfarer glasses frame. It has the same shape as the famous Wayfarer Sunglasses, but without the lenses, and so it is less expensive and will accomodate all types of lenses and prescriptions.

Editor's Note: This originally ran last year, but with at least a dozen college kids celebrating St. Patrick's Day this weekend—a dozen is a fair estimate, right?—we thought it'd be fun to rerun one of our most popular lists ever.
The list below is based on a few defining factors:
1. How nationally "famous" is your St. Patrick's Day party? You may say that you and your bros get "totally wasted" with "perfectly nothing-to-be-ashamed-of chicks" every March 17, but we needed a little bit of other evidence—be it newspaper articles, emails from concerned deans, criminal documents—to corroborate your claims.
2. Are there ample pictures or video of a St. Patrick's Day celebration? Did we find said picture or video "pretty sweet?"
3. Did your schools' undergrads/alumni make your case well? Could we taste the Guinness as we read your emails? Could we hear the distant, echoing womp-womps of your day parties as we watched your "I'm Shmacked" videos? Sense memory here, people. When you're washed up like us, it's all you've got.
Alright, here we go.
Hey! Follow BroBible on Twitter here.
15. "Kegs and Eggs," SUNY Albany
Your Take: None
Our Take: SUNY Albany kicks off our list with a bang. By which we mean a no-holds-barred riot.
In 2011, Albany paid host to its annual "Kegs and Eggs" celebration. This particular year, things got nasty. Cars were destroyed. Appliances were thrown out of second-floor windows. And, at the end of the day, policemen carried off 16 tons of debris.
Before the infamous incident, Albany was known for a fun, relatively non-controversial St. Patrick's Day party. Now, it's controversial enough to have the cops on high-alert. So it must be a big deal at the school, yes?
Yes. No. 15 worthy.
(Sidenote: That 2011 Gothamist post also contains an amazing moment of Internet foreshadowing. Its last paragraph reads: "SUNY Albany administrators also cancelled the annual 'Fountain Day celebration,' outraging many students who objected to the collective punishment. According to the Times Union, 'a 41-year-old student chained himself to the fountain.' That's correct, a 41-year-old student chained himself to a fountain in Albany to protest a party being canceled."
That student? SHOENICE HIMSELF. Seriously! Shoenice chained himself to a fountain to protest a party from being canceled. This is like finding an album Elvis recorded when he was 16.)
14. St. Patrick's Day, University of Delaware
Your Take: None.
Our Take: Delaware is widely known for packing its city bars—Kildare's especially—and off-campus houses to the max each St. Paddy's Day. Last year, neighbors complained of the excessive noise and public intoxication at 10 a.m., and you look for that kind of record on lists like this.
Plus, look at that crowd!
13. St. Patrick's Day Parade, Boston Schools
Your Take: "Most people in Boston go to the parade in Southie, get hammered, and try to act like Mark Wahlberg." — Dan, Boston College
Our Take: There are no large school-specific St. Patrick's Day celebrations in Boston (Massachusetts' turn is coming a little bit later), but we're dealing here with a city that boasts the most colleges per capita, as well as one of the country's largest Irish populations—it's a St. Paddy's tinderbox.
A very public good time, in fact, has definitely been had by college kids over the last few years. So good that state representatives are now begging kids to not turn South Boston into Mardi Gras. "Thousands of visitors join us each year for this wonderful tradition and we welcome them," state representative Nick Collins said, in letters to the presidents of Northeastern, Emerson, Boston College, Harvard, Wentworth, UMass Boston, Boston University and Suffolk. "We do not, however, welcome the Mardi Gras-like atmosphere that has accompanied them in recent years."
We'll see how that works out.
12. St. Patrick's Day Week, Missouri University of Science and Technology
Your Take: "Ten-day long celebration. Two days off school. Used to hold Guinness world record for most alcohol consumed in a three day weekend before GBWR stopped keeping track of alcohol related records. Ten straight days of getting wasted and partying." — Casey, Missouri S&T
Our Take: We'd be lying if we said we knew a ton about the Missouri University of Science and Technology before looking into their St. Patrick's Day Party. But damnit if the Miners don't seem to have a quality March 17. According to the school's Wikipedia page, the event is the "predominant cultural event of the year"—an occasion featuring mass murder of rubber snakes, two days off school, and much green beer consumed.
And, according to reader Casey, the party did once hold the Guinness World Record for most alcohol consumed during a three-day period. This fact, unfortunately, is more unverifiable than your typical 2005 Wikipedia entry.
11. St. Patrick's Day, University of Colorado
Your Take: [Four submission forms left blank with "CU-BOULDER!!!" written at the top.]
Our Take: Tales of incredible excess come to us second-hand from the High State—tales of massive, un-human quantities of green beer consumed, tales of bros peeing green-colored urine on the 18th, and, of course, tales of enormous, non-sanctioned apartment parties.
One apartment complex was the scene of a truly legendary party during last year's holiday. As a tipster at the time said, "Some kid was actually at the party playing the bagpipes. Music was blasting, people were going nuts, spilling beer everywhere…. All students also got an email on St. Patrick's day titled "Tonight," saying this: 'This St. Patrick's Day: Root for the Buffs. Party safely. Look out for each other. Get home alive and well.
"Brought to you by the Dean of Students and the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.'"
10. Parade Day, Binghamton University
Your Take: "Our party is extra special because almost all of campus gets fucked up starting at about 8 am. We then go downtown already trashed and start the pre-game parties for the big parade. By the time the parade comes, we're all feeling saucy and ready to party our asses off some more." — Michael, Binghamton
"As people pack in by the hundreds, the destruction begins. TVs, printers and kegs are tossed out windows liberally. Pianos are smashed, and fireworks are lit off. When the police finally do show up, it's straight to the bars at State Street, where you remember you were there but don't actually remember being there." — Kevin, Binghamton
Our Take: Parade Day falls on the first Saturday of March, and is notable for featuring a strange scene: Thousands of people walking around the off-campus, with Irish coffees and brews in hand, at 8 a.m. By the end of the day, some reports say that 50,000 students and locals are packed into a party on State Street.
(Also, we'd be remiss not to say it: Multiple tipsters emailed us to say that the rugby team traditionally deserves special commendation for throwing an annual 10-keg party. They're just making up for ruining a PERFECTLY GOOD football.)
9. Blarney Blowout, UMass Amherst
Your Take: "Blarney Blowout can be split into two parts. People hit the bars in the morning. Then from noon to 5 pm thousands of kids descend upon the townhouse courtyard for an epic rage. This year the state police along with riot personnel had to break it up. It is an all around awesome time.
We also have a dude playing fucking bagpipes. Irish as fuck." — David, UMass
"It's basically like the Tour De France for your liver." — Brett, UMass
Our Take: That video above? A Dropkick Murphys song come to life.
And while, yeah, there are many, many dudes we see in the frame, keep this in mind—sometimes you've got to just break some shit sans chicks, you know? Get animalistic with it.
8. Scranton Parade Day, University of Scranton
Your Take: "Car bombs are flowing at 7:00 am. The entire city is completely smashed by noon." — Brendan, Scranton
"Even though we don't even go to the parade we ordered about 145 kegs for the best house parties of the year." — Danny, Scranton
Our Take: Scranton is allegedly home to the second-largest St. Patrick's day parade in the country. (The largest is New York's.) Scranton is home to only 75,000 people. (New York is home to over eight million.) You can see where this is going: The town Michael Scott made famous gets pretty, pretty excited for this holiday.
Students at the university, along with thousands of friends and strangers from out of town, traditionally start the day with some good ole fashioned car bombs. And, as the day progresses, they'll continue drinking beer and liquor, while maybe cataching a bit of the parade if they're lucky.
If they're not? It's house party heaven.
7. State Patty's Day, Penn State
Your Take: None.
Our Take: State Patty's Day (actually held the last Saturday of February) is a few spots lower than it would be in a normal year. At its peak, the party was a premier college event, an occasion for State College's pubs and bars to be completely overrun with raconteurs and drunkards.
Then, the ban hammer came down. All bars were banned from serving alcohol on February 23. Actually…. They weren't banned, so much as bribed to the tune of 5 grand an establishment.
And, for 2013 at least, the massive celebration was relegated to just a few private apartment parties. But one BroBible writer remembers how great it once was, and how great it can be again. Alum Jared Freid:
"Why is State Patty's Day the best? Simply, because of how it started. I mentioned this in a column a few weeks back, but State Patty's Day was created out of a sheer will to drink. The administration tried to pull a fast one on the student body by planning Spring Break during St Patrick's Day so the student body collectively shook their finger side to side, Dikembe Mutombo-style, and created another day to drink for no reason. I'm sure every school has an awesome St Patty's Day celebration. I'm sure they are just as crazy as Penn State's. But how hard did they work to make that happen? Switching St Patty's Day is like switching the rotation of the Earth. There's a lot of momentum to push against."
The best example is a hot college chick. She's very into the schedule. She's very into telling you "how totes cray cray finals have been. She doesn't just drink unless the world is pushing for it. She doesn't need "you're sorta kinda St Patty's Day" on a different day. The hot chick doesn't come unless there's a movement (repeat this to yourself whenever having sex)."
Well, consider the Penn State student body moved."
6. Fake Patty's Day, Kansas State
Your Take: "During Fake Patty's, Aggieville, the local bar district at K-State, is blocked off because of how many people are partying. People come from all over the country to celebrate Fake Patty's. I personally have met people from as far away as Alaska who came just for Fake Patty's. It is such a big party that other universities sometimes send volunteer teams to help clean up after. The city of Manhattan has to bring in cops from around the state to help." — Tanner, Kansas State
Our Take: A celebration that traditionally takes place the Saturday before Saint Patrick's Day, Fake Patty's Day begins at 6 a.m., attracts a WIDE swath of people across the country, and is known as Manhattan's biggest day drinking event of the year. One news report from the 9th—which features one of the funniest pictures of a guy dancing in front of cops that you'll ever see—said that, while arrests were unfortunately up 34%, thousands of people descended upon Aggieville for the revelry.
For that reason alone, we'd be willing to risk spending the night in a Manhattan jail.
5. St. Pat's Five Points, South Carolina
Your Take: "They literally close off the whole Five Points, the downtown area, from any cars. Then they have like four-five concerts going on while everyone proceeds to get absolutely hammered. And that's just the day, at night the bars are absolutely packed." — Andrew, South Carolina
"No open container laws, this is the one day the entire year where cops aren't arresting the college kids for drinking. Beer Vendors everywhere and if the $5 Green Bud Light tall boy is too much, go into any of the 21+ bars where they are selling cheap drinks all day. If the DT area gets a little too hectic for you, just walk 10 steps to the neighboring houses because every one of them is having a party. It is truly one of the best weekend to visit the city of Dreams, Columbia SC." — Matt, South Carolina
Our Take: While it's more of a city-wide party than just a college party…
… Ah, who are we kidding. The Gamecocks are definitely throwing down harder than anyone else in downtown Columbia.
4. Unofficial, Illinois
Your Take: "It has been said that more drinking occurs on Unofficial at U of I than during many other school's entire year's. People go to class and take quizzes wasted, campus police guard the large lecture halls, city police guard the residence halls, and best of all, the drinking goes on ALL DAY LONG. God bless America." — Rob, Illinois
Our Take: Unofficial is commonly used to describe Illinois' Friday party prior to St. Patrick's Day (this year it took place on March 1). Bars open at 8 a.m. natch, kegs stay on front lawns all day long, and many, many Big Ten kids flood off buses and onto campus to help celebrate.
Adding to the charm of the festivities: Champaign's notoriously killer bars.
3. Green Beer Day, Miami (of Ohio)
Your Take: "We start drinking at 2 a.m. and continue throughout the day and into the night. Thousands of students attend class absolutely hammered and with lips greener than a leprechaun's dick." — Garrett, Miami
"Craziest day of the year, starts at 3 a.m. and doesn't end until 4 a.m. the next day. Absolutely dope parties that doesn't stop all day." — Jeremy, Miami
Our Take: Miami boasts bars that open the earliest of any on our list—5:00 a.m.—as well as one of the college party scene's most admirably long-standing traditions. Green Beer Day began in 1952, and since the decline of modesty and temperance, it's since become a huge, day-long party held the Thursday before Spring Break, boasting thousands of kids attending classes intoxicated, 18-20 straight hours of drinking, and countless house parties.
For this reason, Miami alums leave their school with a liver permanently died green.
2. St. Patrick's Day, West Virginia
Your Take: "An unreal amount of house parties, huge frat parties, hot girls everywhere, #1 beer drinking school, #1 PARTY SCHOOL 2013…. Need I say more?" –John, West Virginia
Our Take: Did you watch that I'm Shmacked video?
I mean, John said it: What more can we say?
1. St. Patrick's Day, University of Dayton
Your Take: "The University of Dayton might not sound much. We are a small school catholic school of around 8,000 undergrad. However on that magical day we all call St. Patrick's our school triples in size and the student neighborhood we all call "the ghetto" floods with a sea of green. It is truly a sight to be seen." — Wilson, Dayton
"Last year, the university was so terrified of what may potentially happen over St. Patty's Day weekend, that the administration bough accidental death insurance for the weekend." — Joseph, Dayton
"Classes or not, it is guaranteed that the music starts blaring at 4 a.m. with 40's in hand prepping for Tim's to open at 5. After everyone is nice and sauced up, Lowes St in THE GHETTO starts to fill with completely intoxicated patrons dressed in nothing but green. Thousands of your closest friends line the entire street to form the greatest party any school has ever seen. The sea of green, with beer and Jameson being passed around like its some sort of communal stash, parties to the beat of some drunkass bagpiper stumbling the streets in search of liquid gold for payment. UD cops have been seen shotgunning along side students, just for the hell of it." — Branden, Dayton
"David Letterman said there are 4 places in the world to be for St. Paddy's day… Dublin, Ireland, New York, NY, Chicago, IL and Dayton OH. The thing that makes UD so special for St. Paddy's isn't one specific party…. It's the WHOLE university and most of Southern Ohio, that will migrate to UD's student neighborhood aka "the ghetto." A magical one big neighborhood and no parents are home. A school with roughly 8000 students living on campus will grow to 18,000 every St. Patricks day. All day the streets are filled with drinkers in green. Every house is open to anyone. Honestly, just follow the music and walk into a house and you'll be thrown a fresh beer no questions asked. The administration sends out an email a couple weeks in advance to all students' parents [pictured above] urging them to speak with their little Dayton Fliers about not going too hard that day.
"Limitless beer is handed out to complete strangers" — CJ, Dayton
Our Take: This party received far more submissions than any other on our list. I think we get it. It's a party for college kids and their friends at a small, close-knit school where everyone more or less knows each other. And, most important of all, it isn't exclusive. Dayton's St. Patrick's Day is a chance for everyone to get drunk with each other at 4 a.m. and on—the frat kids, the freshman, the campus police (if Branden's testimony is to be believed). The small school's party is comparable with any of the big state school's, which is pretty amazing for a Catholic university of 8,000.
For those reasons, Dayton's St. Patrick's Day takes the No. 1 spot on our list. Enjoy the weekend, bros.

I finally stay up for a chance at a shirt and this is what I get. Kinda cute, just not for me.
Nice Shirt! I'm in for one
DARN! i wanted the time machine dinos. i stayed up for THIS?!?!?!
very ugly-duckling
this shall be an interesting thread of comments.
Hooray! I wanted this one so much!
Even though I never wear green, I still had my heart set on the other shirt. Maybe if enough people protest they'll make that one, too.
really? congrats on the win, but I'm not in for one.
In for one! I loved the second and third place, the best. =) Congrats. Poor James. But your patterns entry rocked.
hohoho!. that's pretty funny. i'd get one, butttttttttt just don't feel like buying a shirt.
i thought this was very cute. im in.
Congrats to the designer but I thought the other dino would be third.
My face is leaking! wrong Dino
Another lament for Cho's design.
i liked it better before he resubmitted it.
awww... There were 2 better dinosaur shirts in the derby. I was going to get my roommate a T-rex shirt if it won because she loves them. Alas...
Serious question. Why this shirt? Explain why you would ever wear this on your body.
Lame Lame Lame. Just not a good shirt. My faith in humanity sinks lower by the derby.
In all honesty, the first place was my least favorite from the derby and this one was my favorite. I wouldn't have bought the 4th place shirt, but I thought it was better than 1st place. I'm still debating whether or not I have the money to buy this shirt, but I'm leaning towards no.
Ok, so is there any way that the designer of the timemachine dino shirt can make his/her design available...cuz it totally rocked
Is it just me or have the worst shirts been winning lately?

In 60 days the rights go back to the designer.
is it me?! or do all of the shirts suck recently? (sorry if i insulted the designers)
I actually like this shirt. I'm just disappointed since shirts 4 and 5 in the derby were better.
I like this kind of artwork, congrats on 3rd
I agree. Want the other dino shirt...somehow....come on WOOT! Otherwise let's have it directly from the artist himself! Hey and I'm not buying the bag of pistachios on winewoot in protest.
