Spring Break
Yeas & Nays
Issue date: 11/14/08 Section: Forum
Yea for not running the Yeas and Nays on Wednesday. We've got to keep you on your toes. Sometimes that means confusing you.
Nay to being confused. That's what we feel every time we log onto our Facebook accounts to find our friends have been transformed into post-Halloween sluts. Spanking your hot vampire friend with your police stick may have been fun two weeks ago while you were drunk, but we don't want to see it anymore.
Yea to vampires. Don't try to hide, we know you skipped all your classes on Wednesday to finish the book "Twilight." How are your professors going to be mad if you tell them you were "reading?"
Nay to going to class. What do we even do in week seven anyways? Midterms? Evaluations? Yes, time to make your professors cry. Not that we would condone such tear-jerking, or any other kind of jerking for that matter...
Yea to Kathy Greaves' self-pleasure workshop this week. We retract our previous statement; touch yourselves!
Nay to Junior Benny Beaver. Don't you think we have enough mascots already? First a happy beaver, then an angry beaver, now a baby beaver? Folks, this is yet another reason why you should wear a condom. Benny Senior, we are disappointed.
Yea to macaroni. Little "Generation Beavs" love it. So do we as college students. Unfortunately, a man in Nebraska didn't; the unemployed man assaulted his girlfriend when she made macaroni for dinner. What happened to Happy Meals?
Nay to the closure of North Shore Smoothies recently. If you think the economy doesn't affect you, you're wrong. We will miss you and your awesome surfing décor.
Yea to the election season being over. The economy may still be in the toilet, but at least Sarah Palin has gone back to Alaska, and the pesky people telling you to vote have vanished as quickly as the drugs in your apartment will vanish when your dad comes down this weekend.
Nay to the post-election Obamamania. In just one week, every possible angle has been covered on his election as the next president. Yes, he is young. Yes, he is black. Yes, he is Christian. Yes, he has young daughters. Yes, please stop this insanity. There are other people in the world to talk about too. What about our current president? We only have a few more months left with the man. Let's pay some attention to him and his funny talking.
Yea to funny talking, and walking and even biking for that matter. We're just waiting for one of those people texting and biking at the same time to run into a tree. Hopefully they don't run into you.
Nay to accidents. Junior Benny anyone?
