Well looky here, it's exam week, and your beloved author has no exams. Actually, I'm in such a paper-writing groove, that I can't stop spewing forth the words... So lucky you, you get a bulletin -- exam style.
This one is the recap issue, dedicated to the fine moments that closed out Baxter for the Millenium. For your convenience, I have included them in a ESPN-type countdown form
The Long Awaited Countdown
P.S. Dick Clark will not appear in this issue...
- Gordon Clark steals clothing from a small child and wears it to the "euro jam", causing a near stampede of the female population. Order was restored when Ed DiVito offered to show off his "magic fingers".
- Dave Kim's head. No body part had a more profound impact on the semester. Impact is a literal phrase. Whether it was locked in battle with attackers, or simply bloodying my eye, Dave's noggin was announcing its importance.
- Varmit Invaders Good year for the Baxter Animal Shelter. Voles, fruit flies, and even bats all tried to get up in what we have.
- The IM Hockey War Ned Bair, Mike Schindelar, August Felker and the rest of the Moore Hall troops stormed the fortress of age, but couldn't bring down the ODB.
- Kelly Keniston sets the record for most consecutive wrong turns in your own hometown. She got us to the movies, though, and that's all that counts.
- Will LoVerme, Nat Waters, and Justin DeGeorge erupt suddenly into a dance party. Baxter 15 rocks like never before, though Lauren Fitch declines to participate, citing the excessive levels of testosterone in the atmosphere.
- The Elite Eight show China Rose what a salad course is...
- Pat Hultgren and DeGeorge bring Kareoke Jam to tears with their rendition of "You don't bring me flowers (anymore)."
- Who am I kidding? DeGeorge at any party is worthy of mention here.
- The fourth Floor of Moore learns the secret of Jellyhead... over dinner.
- Corrine Pellegrini spits Saltines all over my coffee table to carry her "Saltine Rain" team to scavenger hunt victory.
- The Boys frost, bringing new character to the Brittany/Backstreet party ("The best party ever at Baxter before the eurojam") Jack Baby Dempsey's hair is still recovering.
- Luke Bulley and Will LoVerme bring food and creative love back to Baxter for the Holiday dinner.
- Liz Feeherry plays bully with the telnet, nearly gets sued for libel.
- Pre-Halloween " Concussion Party". This is why parents should never buy boxing gloves for their kids.
- Six teams brave the Floyd-like weather, and make the Powderpuff a rousing success!
- Baxter Launches DeGeorge Beer, a future multi-national powerhouse.
Summary and Conclusion
It's been an awesome semester, and I want to thank anyone who has come over, helped out, or even just said something funny. This house is growing by leaps and bounds, and next semester looks to be a good one as our momentum rolls on.
Remember, it takes a village, or something like that, so come on over and say hi. I think of this like making a family, without the sex, or diaper changing and stuff.
So... keep the faith, have a great vacation, and come back ready to rock.
Thanks,
Natty
