LOL! But we are both concerned about the health and safety of yonif, you know. Eating *anything* with five beans is definitely taking one's life into one's own hands, you know.

[Marysecretary]

Same thing here where I work. It's really getting out of hand. College used to be an institution of learning. It's now an institution of leaning--far to the left as possible. Sad, sad, sad.

[yonif]

No UCONN is different. This is Connecticut College in New London, CT

TUESDAY, February 11 Sign-up: Weight watchers, 12 pm, College House. x2071

SRO, no doubt. Just like the free depilatory giveaway.

[yonif]

"But what made you decide to go there?"

Its a nice liberal-arts school, which has about 1800 people. Its pretty good, especially the gov't department. However, its not very politically active. But I write for the paper, magazine, and have a radio show. I make the best out of it. There are about 50-100 conservatives on campus. 20 who are active.

[Hildy]

I'm taking a Spanish Class at Cuayamaca College. (Since you're SDSU, you'll know what I'm talking about.) Innocent enough, right. My teacher is a sweet lady, but she started telling us to go see BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE! I mean, on and on she was going on about what a great movie it is. For a minute I thought she was going to make it a class requirement! I asked her what that had to do with Spanish. Apparently, there's something about Central America in it? Does anyone know?

[yonif]

It's that "musical fruit" thing.

LOL

[Puppage]

Once again proving the point that colleges are not institutes of higher learning, rather....INDOCTRINATION CENTERS FOR POST TEENAGERS

[WriteOn]

Yuck. Poor schlep.

[JimVT]

What race are you: African, American Indian, Asian, Australian, European, Indian, Melanesian, Micronesian, or Polynesian?

These are races?

[NetValue]

"Sounds like cutting-edge stuff."

Mind-rotting tripe from the single-celled brains of PC class.

[rattrap]

"SOUL (Sexual Orientations for Liberation)"
"u = united"

don't see united in definition of acronym.

maybe it was just typed wrong.

no big deal anyway, just found it humorous.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Sher, what the heck do you think Nascar is?

[yonif]

What race are you: African, American Indian, Asian, Australian, European, Indian, Melanesian, Micronesian, or Polynesian?

These are races?


--Tell me about it. They are poisened by so much crap they don't even know what they are talking about anymore (not that they even knew).

[HighWheeler]

"Sports: Women´s squash vs. Wellesley, 7 pm, Luce Fieldhouse. x2501

Sounds like Wellesley's MVP graduate, Hillary, could just sit on them to win at squash.

[Crusher138]

I spent a time at the REAL college in New London.

The Coasties I went to school with would not have put up with this crapola for 2 minutes.

What do the Cadets do for dates if this is what else is in town?

[yonif]

Yeah, probably a typo.

[yonif]

Yeah, the coast guard academy is right next door. They come to our parties at our school which is 40% to 60% men to women ratio.

There are also a few who come to our Hillel Meetings. We also had a Shabbat dinner over at their place once.

Actually you should see Bowling for Columbine. Don't ever rest on what others may tell you about something. Seek it out for yourself.

I looked it as more cult filmish in a Reefer Madness kind of way.

[Marysecretary]

I have a wonderful recipe with five beans that you would love! And, of course, it's great ammunition. But, aside from that, it's a great dish. It has meat in it though, which the peacepunks wouldn't like a'tall. Heeheehee.
