For Friday's edition 4/26:
Question: why were the only funny Dec articles I've read in my four years here been written by non-staffers (Bryan Carter and Conor Lastowka)?
- Take that!
The Israelis say one thing, the Palestinians say the opposite, and the U.S. just fumbles around. It's like a bad babysitter trying to separate quarreling siblings.
- Sensational simile writer
At the beginning of the year, that huge bale of plastic bottles between the A-School and Culbreth was sort of an interesting piece of artwork. Now it just looks like a pile of garbage. Any chance on removing it in the near future? It's a huge eyesore.
-Avant garbage?
Car: $10,000 - $20,0000
Gas: $15
Parking ticket: $30
Getting your car towed: $80
Having somewhere FREE in the general vicinity near Cabell (for those days when, lets face it, you just cant find the right thing to wear, or have slept through the alarm because you were at $2 pitchers the night before): PRICELESS
- Peeved with the parking people
From Monday's edition 4/22:
"Please, please, please do not eat or drink noisily in stacks! It makes me want to smack you with my laptop!"
-Annoyed in Alderman
"I have a 15 page paper due tomorrow that I haven't started yet, and if anyone pisses me off today I'm going to strangle them with a smile on my face."
-Peeved procrastinator
"It annoys me so much when people tell me a story and then tell someone else the same thing with completely different details right in front of me. I mean, do they really think that I do not notice that they're exaggerating?"
- Cry for consistency
"Regarding last Friday's Sound Byte by "Chewed Out," get a life, you idiot. It disgusts me to see people chewing on their pens like they're gum or something. Why don't you do us all a favor and get ink poisoning."
- Poisoned pen letter
