Spring Break
Yeas & Nays
Issue date: 3/13/09 Section: Forum
Nay to talking about the weather. Normally this is lame, but not in Corvallis, since every form of precipitation could be found within any given hour this week.
Yea to BaroNews and BaroForum for finally figuring out how to use Twitter.
Nay to psychics. This seems pretty obvious, but a New York man is suing his psychic, who apparently spent $250,000 on a gold statue to ward off negativity.
Yea to anything that would possibly ward off negativity. Getting tagged as "The Grumpy One" in those dumb Facebook cartoon photos is getting a little old.
Nay to the 13-year-old from Michigan who was caught on video beating the crap out of his bus driver.
Yea to getting married. What doesn't sound fun about paying thousands of dollars to dress up, drink and never having to go on a painfully awkward first date ever again?
Nay to burning down a hotel as a way to get out of getting married. A Japanese man couldn't decided whether to marry his girlfriend or stay with his wife, so he committed arson as a way to buy some time. All right, we get it … you got cold feet.
Yea to turkey basters for keeping our Thanksgiving dinners so delicious.
Nay to turkey basters being used to forcefully artificially inseminate someone. An intoxicated Massachusetts woman was arrested for allegedly trying to impregnate her lesbian wife with a turkey baster filled with her brother's semen. Since you were wondering, the attacker had a container of her brother's semen because she had been trying to convince her wife to become pregnant for a while.
Yea to gay marriage. Forget about that previous example.
Nay to the men's basketball team getting murdered on Wednesday by Stanford, but …
Yea to the fact that the women's basketball team is playing in the Pac-10 quarterfinals tonight!
Nay to rappers getting stopped by police and charged with crack cocaine possession - while at the airport. Coolio was busted for crack cocaine possession on his way to his Southwest Airlines flight at LAX.
Yea to Coolio. He indeed wanted to have a fantastic voyage.
Nay to breakups. Weight gain and Facebook stalking, anyone? But speaking of breakups …
Yea to Bristol Palin being single! The daughter of former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin recently broke up with her fiancé and father of their 2-month-old son, who, in a long line of children with goofy names, was christened Tripp.
Nay to her being a single mother and having her baby's grandma being the bat-crazy Sarah Palin.
Yea to Spring Break. Need we say more?
Nay to spending Spring Break in Corvallis with the freezing rain/sleet/snow/rain/drizzle.
