Spring Break
Yeas & Nays
Issue date: 10/29/08 Section: Forum
Yea to tacos. Not the volcano taco with the red shell, but the "chronic tacos" received by a Colorado couple last Sunday that had an extra special sack of marijuana on top of them. Best munchies run ever.
Nay drugs…
Yea to Halloween falling on a Friday this year. When does that ever happen? Now we get to be ridiculously drunk for thirsty Thursday, smashed like a pumpkin on Halloween, and then stay permanently inebriated for homecoming Saturday. Will you be in class next Monday? We won't.
Nay to getting busted by the cops. Apparently they are prepping for one of the worst weekends in history. Folks, drink - but don't drive. Don't bike. Don't even longboard. Unless, of course, you want to end up in the Winnebago full of holding cells roaming around campus, being poked fun at like a circus animal. We might send one of our photographers too. You could make front page news!
Yea to slutty costumes. When we said nay to cops, we certainly weren't referring to the ones in 5 inch skirts and fishnets. By all means, punish us and punish us hard. If you succeed, we might be lucky enough to have to see a nurse later, and not the kind at Student Health.
Nay to homecoming following Halloween. In case you didn't realize this, your parents might be showing up to watch the game with you, like before noon. Mom might not be too pleased to find you in bed with a cop and nurse.
Yea to "No Shave November." A little extra fuzz could keep you warm in the cold, wet month to come. And girls, a little extra hair could make you feel safer on the oh-so-dangerous streets of Corvallis. You are a lot less likely to be accosted if you look like a man.
Nay to the latest Newsweek cover featuring an unretouched close-up of Sarah Palin. It's not November just yet, Sarah. Waxing your upper lip might still be a good plan. If you don't believe us, check it out yourself.
Yea to "real women." Like in the Tempe12 calendar we all so kindly received for free last week. So real we could almost reach out to touch them. Or ourselves. Did we just say that?
Nay to typos. We make far too many of them at this paper, and so does the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee, apparently. They misprinted a number for a campaign hotline that instead directed callers to a phone-sex line. All those people with crushes on candidates, this number is for you. We do hope you aren't thinking about sexy time with McCain though. He's old enough to be your grandfather.
Yea to this being the last pre-election yeas and nays. In a week from now, we'll hopefully have figured out a new president to lead this insane country. Who knows, we may have a whole new reason to start drinking again.
