spiderplanetTwo fish were hanging out in a tank. One fish says to the other fish "We gotta get outta here!" The other fish says "Okay, you take the wheel and I'll man the turret!"
Harhar!
Today I picked up The Girl from Eau Claire. If anyone's wondering, I would not personally recommend driving in a college town in Wisconsin during rush hour at the end of finals week while everyone is moving out of the dorms. Most specifically because Wisconsin roads are made of suck, and college kids drive like deranged jackrabbits with eye infections.
The UWEC school store has stopped selling beer glasses with the school logo. They still carry shot glasses, though.
The Girl tells me that the hot topic of discussion (other than fish jokes) on campus is that Eau Claire is establishing a certificate in the field of gender issues and sexuality. Of course I agree that the college should just decide to implement such a thing without public discussion, so as to avoid public displays of douchebaggery. There was still some discussion on the matter, though. For the student meeting, many people believed that the discussion would include whether or not it would be a certificate, minor or major field of study, but instead it turned out that most of the meeting was about whether the program should be called "Queer Studies," "GLBT Studies," or "GLBTQ Studies."
There was much shouting and passionate debate.
Oh, the agony I endured as repressed memories were dredged up. I do not miss political meetings.
Here is an unrelated display from the dorm hallway this week.
There are two noisy hours in the dorms this week. They are called "courtesy hours." I don't know what noisiness has to do with courtesy, but maybe that's a regionalism for "relief valve," which is probably only a euphemism.
