(Sadly, that's one less minor to whom's delinquency Denton can contribute.) After we came into possession of a certain, much-forwarded email, however, we've been concerned that li'l Scotty, who is studying this semester at NYU's program in Florence, might not having been able to celebrate the milestone with the reckless debauchery the occasion demands:

What, a party in NYU housing? Partying while on a semester abroad? Whatever were those crazy kids thinking?
