Seth Abramson: PJ Smyth's yearbook says he accomplished Devil's triangle junior and senior year.

So Devil's Triangle was a "drinking game" (not—as understood at the time—two men having sex with one woman) but PJ Smyth listed it as something he *did* junior (3) and senior (4) year? And Mark Judge's girlfriend says he bragged about he and a friend having sex with a drunk girl?

You see, you and another guy have to get some poor woman drunk enough to either not protest or not notice that she is being tricked or forced into having group sex with 2 guys.

You "win" the game by then posting about it in year books (or social media now), while slut shaming the woman at the same time by you being listed (without her permission or knowledge) as being part of her "alumni" club.

Maybe he spent his days blacked out in the corner, too? We could have never put that kind of stuff in my high school yearbook, and I was in high school about the same time as Kavanaugh.

like this in a yrbook but I did not go to anything even close to a rich prep HS so maybe some are like that.
Some have written online since this came out about their own experiences elsewhere in a rich prep, and implied for the era, it sort of was the norm

He mentions a “Spread Eagle Club”, I’m sure that’s an innocuous activity

Also, he’s a member of Renate Alumni Club a d has got the FFF etc thing going

Just think of all the stuff that might come out if we had (a) competent investigators doing (b) a real investigation for facts.

When did the FBI become repugnant waterboys?

how many parents of high schoolers have had a talk with their child about this

Of course, universities monitor everything these days including social media. College recruiters for athletics now have a file summarizing every tweet for recruit-see for example

There would be absolutely no reason for a "drinking game" to be so significant that it would merit mentioning by several different people in their yearbook page as one of their significant and memorable accomplishments for the school year.

The Mark Judge girlfriend admission seals the deal: it was code for a threesome. This is why Judge was in the same room as Kavanaugh when he assaulted Ford. This was the "Devil's Triangle" Kavanaugh was referencing on his yearbook page.

It all fits together.
