Spring Break
Yeas & Nays
Issue date: 6/5/09 Section: Forum
Yea to thunderstorms! They're so awesome!
Nay to thunderstorms making the Barometer staff ultra paranoid and forcing us to click "save" every 2.5 seconds in case of an electrical outage due to awesome thunderstorms.
Yea to the roof leaking in Snell Hall during thunderstorms. Did you know that this building is condemned?
Nay to humidity. We tried to rock the hot, sweaty, frizzy-hair look, but it didn't work out so well.
Yea to moving on from weather topics. Anyway …
Nay to dogs getting their own airline: Pet Airways. These flying experiences will probably be way nicer than what we as humans have. We're down for flying in a cage if we don't have to pay $15 per checked bag.
Yea to painfully overprotective parents making life super fun during our teenage years. Since potential boyfriends always want phrases like, "I have two shovels: one to bury the body and one to bury the shovel," when meeting the parents of young, innocent daughters.
Nay to being kidnapped by your girlfriend's mother, as what happened to a 21-year-old California man. Two women, one being the mother, allegedly went to the man's house to kidnap him by tying him up with duct tape. Harsh. However …
Yea to duct tape. Yes, it is a helpful tool in kidnapping, but is also great for auto repairs and home décor, as well as for fixing the things that were broken around your apartment throughout the year as you prepare to move out.
Nay to the holes in the walls of your apartment that didn't magically disappear after that party last January. The only thing that will magically disappear is your rent deposit.
Yea to the supreme leader of Iran telling the world that Muslim countries still "hate America." We appreciate his honesty.
Nay to the tough economic times forcing hardworking Americans to make tough decisions regarding their futures and their livelihoods.
Yea to enterprising Americans making the most out of the situation, like the owner of Shady Lady Ranch, who is opening her brothel to include male prostitution along with female prostitution. Other Nevada brothels plan on doing the same. Good thinking!
Nay to painfully obvious and overused statements, but we have to … nay to finals week.
Yea to finals week weight gain being socially acceptable.
Nay to paying the $63 to use Dixon this summer to burn off the ramen-Chipotle-Reese's-induced finals week weight gain. We were planning on just hanging out.
Yea to summer! Even if you're in Corvallis, or working 60 hours a week, or busting out work at an unpaid internship, it's still summer!
