What happened at the worst party you've ever been to?

I went to a friend's graduation party after high school.

I wasn't great friends with him, but I figured I would stop by with my girlfriend because he was nice enough to invite me.

So freaking sad, and all she wanted toised us for being so late. So freaking sad.

explodes and shoots a stream of boiling beer all over a girl's crotch and legs.

Ambulance was called, I believe she required several skin grafts over several
