[QUOTE=AntiHero3314]All the newspaper people are jackasses. It must be a newspaper reporter vs. DJ thing. But seriously, we just had this big scandal at my uni over the College Republicans, so its coverage has plagued the paper as of late.

In a nutshell, they had an affirmative action bake sale:

Five cents for a Native Americans
Twenty-five cents for African-Americans and Asian-Americans
Fifty cents for women
Two dollars for Caucasians

It was a huge scandal, and for the past four weeks (weekly-run newspaper), the editorial and opinion pages have been littered with a back-and-forth College Democrats vs. College Republicans debate, and it's getting torturous to read the paper nowadays.[/QUOTE]

How does that work?

[QUOTE=Bartender]How does that work?[/QUOTE]

What are you referencing, the bake sale or the newspaper itself?

Sorry :-\

EDIT: I guess they look at you, and if you're black, you pay less than a white person. If you're Asian, then you pay less. If you're a woman, then you pay less. If you're a white male, you pay two bucks for baked goods. Who knows. It was just a stupid idea.

BIG Senioritis.

Hahaha, chinchillas. She always tells us about them, and brought a few in this year. Around wintertime, a few of them died off, and she didn't know why. That was kinda weird.

Hahahahah, is Pépe still around? She always brought him in, along with another one whose name I can't remember.

Chelsea would come in to our class and just chill in the back with the chinchillas when she brought them in.

Is Tucci still as scatter-brained as ever?

Well, I guess if you want your dining room painted lime green, then I guess you might be a bit nutso.

EDIT:

I liked Tucci a lot, though, she was one of my favorite teachers. She helped me outside of school with things. I was never one of her "patients" but she gave me a lot of advice about things. Every time I come home I go and visit her, and she always yells at me because I don't have a visitor's pass.

Yea she's pretty scatter brained, but I like her too. I think her and Mr. Glynn (and Mr. Tabar even though I don't have him this year) are my favorite teachers.

EDIT: And yea, I'm pretty sure Pepé is still alive. I remember hearing his name last week.

The bake sale.

I got the impression they were selling native americans and african americans and such.

Haha, I remember when I was painting her house, she said she would go and get lunch for me when she went to Home Depot to get some supplies.

"Hi there, I didn't feel like driving to a fast food joint or anything, so I just picked you up some munchies at the register."

1 Big Grab bag of Cooler Ranch Doritos
2 Red Bulls
1 DNL (the upside-down 7UP)

I was bouncing off the walls like crazy, man. I was so loopy.

She did go and get Burger King for me the second day, though, thankfully.

Ohhhhh. Yeah, I wasn't very clear, I guess.

They were selling baked goods, and charging based on one's ethnicity.

They never sell that anymore here :(

If I have more than 2 Red Bulls in one sitting I feel like my head is going to explode.

I've never had Red Bull or DNL.

I hadn't had either before that day... and consuming them all back-to-back-to-back over the course of one afternoon made me do a Woody Woodpecker.

Woo-hoo-hah-HAH-hah ! Hehhehehe.

I don't even know what DNL is.

[QUOTE=Bartender]I don't even know what DNL is.[/QUOTE]

Caffinated 7-UP that was green in color as opposed to the clear, uncaffinated 7-UP.

If you flip 7-UP upside-down, it's supposed to look like DNL (based on the style of the writing).

It tasted a bit different from 7UP if memory serves me right.

[QUOTE=Efilnikufesin]It tasted a bit different from 7UP if memory serves me right.[/QUOTE]

Yes, it was more citrus-y and [obviously] caffinated.

EDIT: done with paper, night all :wave:

So Ray, I'm going to be in Chicago tomorrow.

Three-and-a-half hour bus ride there, go to the Chicago Institute of Art for an hour and a half, and then a return trip of three-and-a-half hours again.

I am not looking forward to the trip.

Good night, magicbus.

Seven hours travelling to see one part of Chicago for an hour and a half.

Your college fails at life. Or, planning trips to Chicago, at least.

No kidding. What pisses me off most is that we don't get any time to walk around nearby and get lunch somewhere. We have to eat on the bus. I'll starve and be grouchy, dammit... and it doesn't help that I HAVE to go to something that will undeniably suck.

EDIT: did any of you have class trips in junior high / middle school / the equivalent of such institutions in Europe? 7th grade, went to Chicago, and it was awesome. 8th grade, went to DC, it was okay.

The places we ate at in Chicago were horrible, though, save for Hard Rock Cafe.

My favorite part is:

WTF is that?

General request for advice/light-shedding;

I ordered some stuff from Amazon a few days ago. All but one item was "usually dispatched within 24 hours", the one odd one out being 1-3 days. I paid the extra for first class (i.e. next day) delivery, rather than wait 3-5 days more for it to be delivered free, now; I got confirmation that it was dispatched on the 6th, but the estimated delivery date is 12th-13th..?

Maybe it was advertised incorrectly on the site?

1. Bah, that's horrible. Chi-town needs to be appreciated for more than that. :-\

2. We went to DC in 8th grade and it was kinda "meh". It was at least 90 degrees every day the week we were there, and we had to dress "nice" for all the places we visited, and we had to wake up early as hell every morning (like, we left the hotel at 5:30 am every day). The best parts were just fu[size=2]cking around in the hotel with my friends[/size].

[QUOTE=Antihero]

Well I can't see how it has anything to do with the "usually dispatched by" length; once the order has actually been dispatched, regular mail service should make the delivery estimate a day later (two days at the very, very, very, very most for first class post).

My junior high is cheap as hell, we don't have the budget to plan a trip to DC. My school doesn't do anything like that [trips to the other side of the country].

Okay, so I gave a completely stupid answer. I don't know anything about that stuff, sorry :-\

I probably shouldn't have said anything to begin with.

1. Yeah, no kidding. There is a hell of a lot to do in Chicago and it was a fun long-weekend trip... it's just that my middle school picked the worst places to eat at: Ed Debevic's (so many kids were sick from the grease, and it was our first meal after getting off the bus, so everyone felt like crap the whole day), Medieval Times (worst place ever), and some other place whose name I can't recall.

2. Yeah, DC trip was inferior to the Chicago trip. We never had to dress up or anything, though, and we were never up that early. It's just that it was so boring and blazingly hot (for late May). The cherry blossoms were blooming, though, so that was nice.

Warning:

Do not watch this if you hate annoying songs. I got suckered into falling into a trap, and I'm spreading the "joy."

As soon as you see the first two seconds of the video, you're going to realize what the song is.

And no, you are not going to move your feet (subtle hint).
