Fittingly, our last column begins with the last man any of us should probably turn to for relationship advice: the unforgettable, poster boy of generalized anxiety, Alvy Singer of "Annie Hall." If you haven't seen the film, get to your Netflix queue stat, but for now, you can just peruse the following two-second plot summary: "Annie Hall" (1977) is the tale of the not-so-storybook romance of Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) and Annie Hall (Diane Keaton). The two get together, grow apart and rehash their past dating disasters in this quirky take on Manhattanite mating.

Celebrities are truly obnoxious. That doesn't mean most of us can stop ourselves from reading the covers of gossip rags while checking out at the Teet. And no matter how much we mock celebs, some large percentage of the population always ends up following their high-priced lead. It's like the trickle-down effect for fashion.

Maybe the Bloodhound Gang was on to something when they sang, "You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel."

To the relief of lonely hearts and hapless coupled men everywhere, another Valentine's Day has come and gone. Chocolates were bought off the shelves and Charlottesville's particularly candlelight-happy restaurants were booked solid. Those with a penchant for sentimentality or sugary pastel hearts emblazoned with flirty phrases of fructose foreplay were in their prime. And the bitter, cynical and probably more tolerable among us spent 24 hours bah-hallmarking their way through "Singles Awareness Day."

Dating's not dead. It just got boring. This year, resolve to resuscitate your dating life -- and no, $2 pitchers doesn't count. While we'd never knock a classic dinner/movie combo, serious cases of amour-apathy require a more potent prescription: dates doctored up with creativity and a sense of humor. And no excuses either. Most of these dates don't require a significant other or significant funds.

Every year -- and this year was no different, of course -- Thanksgiving descends upon America, bringing with it armies of hand-shaped, construction paper turkeys, marshmallow-encrusted sweet potato mush and red-wine-drunk uncles. And for a day, we gorge and feast and watch football and, oh yeah, give thanks, and the point is that we're all completely satisfied and grateful. Really, what more do you need than a greasy drumstick and the enlightened dinner conversation of that very thirsty uncle?

When you meet that right guy or girl, the first few whirlwind weeks might have you believing that you've boarded the love boat -- so exciting and new -- but no relationship is smooth sailing for long. It's not too hard to avoid arguments during initial dinner dates, or even perhaps during the first month of coupledom. But any partnership that's going to progress past this point will and must encounter a fight or two, or three.

In less than a week, every Bobby First-Year and Susan Sociology-Major will don a disguise and for one night -- or two, or three -- become a different person entirely. Herds of sexy devils and Catholic school girls will descend upon Rugby Road. Posses of pimps and pirates will scour the Corner looking for booty.

They say that a rolling stone gath-ers no moss, but there's no denying that Mick Jagger has acquired a certain patina as he's rocked through the ages. Mick's hair has maintained its '70s-style flip, but his face has morphed into the gravity-induced sag of a near 70-year-old man. Mick and his Stones showed off their extensive body of work Thursday night, but the body beneath the satin button downs and leather low riders left a little to be desired.

Like so many things in life, relationship issues are often firmly lodged in the "gray area." It can be hard to come down definitively on one side or another of a complex dating debate. Gray areas can make giving relationship advice as difficult as seeing the horizon on a foggy day.

Some say there is a "Seinfeld" reference to match every situation in our real lives. These people are right. So, our column today will begin with a classic Costanza: "There is relationship George, and there is independent George. ... you are killing independent George! A George divided against itself ... cannot stand!"

As older and wiser fourth years writing a column about "relationships," we probably should be filling the first 125 lines allotted to us by The Cavalier Daily with profound advice. Advice that would be especially valuable to the truckloads of bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, book-laden and booze-seeking first years who recently joined our fine student body.

Michael Jackson once sang, "A-B-C, it's easy as 1-2-3..." If only the lyric applied to three other little letters --

Have you ever been asked the question: "If you were stranded on a deserted island and you could bring an unlimited supply of only one type of food, what would it be?" The experts say it should be avocados because those suckers have a lot of vitamins and moisture and stuff like that. But really, how much guacamole could one castaway handle?

When Fat Joe hit the airwaves recently as part of MTV's notorious Spring Break programming, the rapper seemed confused. "Who are these kids?" he said.

These days, it seems like you can claim anything as your own -- as long as you saw it, said it or thought of it first. In a way, "claiming" is a concept carried over from childhood. We yelled shotgun to claim the front seat of the minivan. A finger to the nose claimed, "I'm not it." We've been raised with the idea that if you act fast, you can "call" things as your own.

Hi, reader. Nice to meet you. We'd like to take a few lines of print to introduce ourselves and our column. Here are the stats: Megan Fanale is a third-year Comm-ie, and Meghan Moran is a third-year English major. This column will attempt to tackle issues of co-ed University life in a fresh, funny and gender-neutral way. So grab a seat, sit back and ask the bartender to "make it a double..."

Shortly after third-year College student Jon Huang heard about the death of his friend and fellow Virginia Alpine Ski and Snowboard Team member Brian Love, he sat down to write. Huang wrote about Love, to remember him and to organize the many thoughts that swirled in his head following Love's fatal snowboarding accident last week. In the page-long reflection Huang produced and later sent to members of VASST and others he knew that were close to Love, he mentioned the qualities that made Love so unique.
