Friendships come in all different forms. Some stay, some go, some develop quickly, some take longer, some last a few months or weeks, and some are lifelong. The best kind of friendships are the ones where you can count on the other to be there for you when you need them. For Nick and Schmidt, their friendship started as college roommates and has continued to flourish nearing ten years. A reason to celebrate? We think so, but will the party go as expected? Absolutely not...of course.

Tinfinity and Beyond:
The ten year anniversary of Nick and Schmidt living together is quickly approaching and Schmidt wants to throw a big anniversary party. Winston isn't too thrilled since their previous anniversary parties were disasters; insert wood themed party and paper themed party flashbacks here. Jess is on board and even comes up with the theme after realizing that Schmidt and Nick's initials "S" and "N" are the chemical symbol for tin. It is decided. The festivities shall be called "Tinfinity".
Schmidt wants Nick to help out with the party planning but is reluctant to assign him any big responsibilities. As we know, Nick isn't exactly the party planning type and can barely remember to bring balloons to a party. Finally Schmidt decides the best task for Nick is to order the port-a-potty for the party at the park. Nick agrees but we can't help but sense that something is bound to go awry.

It's the day of the party and things are looking tin-tastic. The decor is top notch and everything is according to plan. Nick surprises us all when he remembers to rent a port-a-potty for the party. The only thing is is that it is a piece of shit port-a-potty, pun intended, that I don't think a dog would even pee on. Despite that fact, Schmidt is proud of Nick for coming through for him and says now the party has two bathrooms. Nick is confused until he sees the large and luxurious port-a-potty that Schmidt had rented in case Nick forgot. Nick is upset and asks Schmidt to get rid of it so everyone will use his port-a-potty. No dice Nick. No one wants to go near that dump; pun intended as well.
