A crotchety old man living near Georgetown University is fed up with scolding the intoxicated college kids who keep him up all night.

So Stephen R. Brown, 62, launched the website drunkengeorgetownstudents.com, where he posts illicit photos of noisy backyard keggers in an effort to give the university a bad name and lead to more crackdowns.

It seems that Brown has exhausted other efforts, including knocking on doors, writing letters and calling the cops to bust parties. The intro to his blog offers some tips on what other sleepless residents could do if they witness a rowdy scene.

—First, call the University Hotline (202-687.8413) and you will get an answering machine. Leave a message for the”nationally renowned” SNAP vehicles who will attempt to quiet things down. Unfortunately, they have no legal authority and drunks are notoriously unstable.
—Second, call 911. You probably feel foolish calling the emergency services number but Georgetown University has made it known that they don’t care so this is your only alternative.

Brown also lambasts the university’s lack of on-campus housing and told Washington Post higher education reporter Jenna Johnson, “If the university would let me have a night’s sleep, I might take it down. The students call me a ‘grumpy old man.’ That’s fine. I have been called a lot worse than that.”

Brown plans to post video soon and encourages neighbors to contribute their own pictures to the site, although he cautions them not to confront partygoers when snapping shots: “Be careful, drunken persons are frequently violent and unreasonable so “reasoning” with them isn’t a great plan. Keep your distance!”

Meanwhile, Georgetown’s blog Vox Populi warns students to be careful when venturing off-campus to drink their faces off, lest they end up plastered all over the Internet by some old guy in the bushes with a camera, like these guys:
