Interesting Story on Olaf

OneArmedScot

Good story. Thanks for the timely link. Did you hear some of the Vikings got in trouble? Something about a boat. Send us a link if you can find out more.

Duff:
I'm assuming you fixed my avatar for me. Thanks.
Just for that, I'll karmalize you.

KR,

Will you please spread some wisdom to Old Man Rat?

Spread some my way, too. Health & Wellness??? What, was Men's Studies all filled?
Thanks Gar!

Looks like we're going to have to start rationing some of you young guys' kool-aid.

It's for your own good, as you'd know, if you were paying attention in your Health and Wellness classes.
Can't hold me back. I've got my 3.

I've been following the boards regularly for the past several years.  I try and catch a couple of SJU games every year, but have yet to attend any of Johnnie Red's legendary festivities.  When I saw the Johnnies home schedule this year, it reminded me of my days as a Gopher basketball season ticket holder and their non-conference schedule.  Anyway, I made the trip down to Bethel a couple of weeks ago to see a somewhat competitive game, but did not attend the festivities.  So, I'm planning on making it to my first Stif-Fest this week.  As far as a culinary treat JR, would wild rice brats from Manea's Meat Market in Sauk Rapids suffice, or is there a better item I should bring?

SJU does not (yet or ever if they ever want any donations from this rat) have a Health and Wellness major.

I would assume its akin to a nutrition major with a bit of biology mixed in.

SJU DOES unfortunately have a health and wellness program. The kids agree not to drink or smoke or have any fun at all and must promise to walk around with their noses in the air looking down at those who do enjoy a little drinky drinky on the weekend.

The typical health and wellness member is short (under 5'7) has dark black/brown hair, is scrony (ave mass of 121 lbs, 1/3 of a TDT), laughs like Fran Drescher, and all around looks and acts like Screech from Saved by the Bell. Their leader is the male who has a) the most chest hair (usually between 1 and 4)or b) grows the best prepubescent looking beard.

They are usually confined to one end of a hallway in Tommie or the 3rd floor of Mary hall freshman year at SJU.

Sophmore year they live somewhere in Bernie hall getting first choice of sophmore living options because they are living the Laker way...the Laker way involves hating all things fun, not drinking, going to all classes, avoiding athletics all together* and being good all around nerds that even the Bio and Chem majors make fun of.

Junior year, most of them turn 21 and have their first "big night out" on St. Joe. While the rest of us learned how to handle our booze and how much is too much during our freshman and sophomore years, they never learned that lesson, thus their first big night invariably ends up with them either puking on the dance floor at Sal's, puking in the bathroom at Sal's or the La, or my personal favorite: puking on the sidewalk outside Sal's while a cop watched from across the street.

Senior year they continue their pursuit of the forbidden drink and live in rooms by themselves or with another Health and Wellness person in Benet hall. They drink all night long every night always to excess and take turns prank calling the residents of St. Joe asking telling them to go catch their fridge if it is running or to let him out if they have Prince Albert in a can.

Following graduation, they assume boring jobs in cubicles and spend the rest of their lives there eventually falling in love with a co-worker who was also health and wellness getting married at ae 35 and having kids. They then proceed to beat their children on a regular basis ensuring that their kids grow up to be the same social misfits that they were and the circle of life continues.


* Health and wellness kids love ultimate frisbee like Bethel kids love jumping up and down on 3rd down. They play ultimate frisbee with other health and wellness kids from other schools and afterwards they have big bonfires where the guys and girls split up and talk about their feelings.

Congratulations to Matt Hawn on his nomination.

[Mr.Shoes]

Apparently KR's mom made him do H&W Freshman year

[Kilted Rat]

Ask anyone who lived by me freshman year... I was the anti-health and wellness.

When I came around, health and wellness kids would make an "X" with their index fingers and hold it up in front of their faces to prevent me from influencing them.... that or the odor of breath on my liquor was that compeling... either way.


Since it's almost Halloween and the board is slow, I'll tell a little Halloween story:

My freshman year I went to Savers the day before halloween with $10 in my pocket and no ideas in my head. I bought a truck driver work shirt, a pair of 1960's suit pants and a tube of fake blood. I think I was going as a car wreck victim but I didn't really care much.

Had a great pre-party in my room including a 6 round boxing match between myself and Cap'n Morgan... I won on the judge's card but he later scored the knockout.

Went into St. Joe to some place I don't remember and drank way more beer than I should have. From this point on it gets blurry....

I remember talking to a girl in the kitchen at Green Acres and trying to convince her that I was a senior.... and trying to convince myself she didn't outweigh me.

I ended up getting a ride back to SJU from some guys I still don't know. We made an emergency stop on the bridge over 94 so I could call dinosaurs... upon hearing no reply on my 3rd call, we moved on.

I woke up the next morning on the table in the laundry room in Tommie hall still holding on to an empty bottle of busch light...


The next year I went as a football player and was better behaved.

KR,

Since it is story telling hour, perhaps you could share another little tale about running from the St. Joe PD...

[57Johnnie]

ZIP,
Has "W" contacted you about the vacancy yet?
Rumor has it that JR is on the short list.

Perhaps we could set up a voting site like the Heisman.  We'll nominate JR and then
get all our D3 brethern to stuff the ballot box.

[Retired Old Rat]

Gee, I had no idea I had hit such a nerve.  We didn't have that touchy feely bs back in my day.

I do have some good stories (some with pictures) from back in the day that include the father
of the current SJU place kicker.

Did you know that in the late 70's it was posible to drive a Civic across the I-94 footbridge?

I've never had the pleasure of meeting this Laker fellow.  Glad he wasn't around when I was.

[57Johnnie]

I have one about a classmate driving around a barricade on a new section of Hwy between St. Joe & Collegeville not open to the public and getting away with it by telling the cop he was too drunk to drive in traffic.

Did you know it is possible to hang an inflatable doll dressed in UST gear from that same footbridge?
