From the never believe a Stripper files


So who looks sillier in this case Duke's president who cancelled the entire season because he took the word of a 27 year old stripper over 48 of his students or the media for taking this story and running like TDT after the ice cream truck?

[Willy Wonka]

From what Bob Ley has told me, the stripper/rape case is simply the thing that blew the lid off already simmering tensions. It was bound to come to a head sooner or later...you'd think they wouldn't need to lie to get things changed though...

Nah, lutefisk and eelpout are way to complex to make for hundreds.

Culinary delights at Sexton include:
subs, pizza, burgers, fries, and smoothies.

Reefer:

salad bar (only used by bennies the 2 weeks before spring break... the same individuals are seen in the fitness center during the same time period apparently thinking you can undo 50 weeks of gluttony and loafing with one half-assed week of walking 2.3 MPH on the treadmill for 5 minutes and 6 trips to the salad bar each time emptying the bacon bits tub)
sorry for that tangent

Other fine foods at the reefer include: choice of 2-3 hot meal options each night with occassional Rootbeer Floats.
Also the option to finish off the meal with the HATED Ice Cream machine, long loved by many of the Bennies.

True story:
I almost lost a roommate at the ice cream machine... and by lost I mean he almost left this world.

It was early spring my senior year. The ice was out on all the lakes and the birds were coming back. The good looking in-shape Bennie was out running at SJU wearing skimpy attire drawing stares from all the upper classmen Johnnies who were sitting in lawn chairs in front of their apartments drinking beer.

One of the 6 of us had a meal plan (the rest of us went with the much cheaper Cashwise plan) and he offered to treat us all to dinner at the Reef.

After a nutritious and delicious 2000 calorie meal, we were getting ready to leave and had started heading over to the tray return conveyor belt.

Nate was the last of the six of us to return his tray.

Out of nowhere these 2 large Bennies (if they would have been 3 inches taller each they woulda been square) come running as fast as they can at the ice cream machine in some sort of apparent race for the glory.

Nate set his tray down unaware as the other 5 of us stared in awe at the masses moving towards us. As Nate turned around he almost stepped directly into the path of the Omega female when I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back. He took a glancing blow hard enough to spin him 180 degrees.

He said his life flashed before his eyes at that moment.

I have to get to work.  My sides hurt.  (That does seem to describe the culinary delights we saw pretty well, though - minus the Bennies).

tmerton- If you went to SJU and saw the Bennies you are a lucky person. I don't know how you missed them they seem to be every where now that " the ice is off the lake and the birds are starting to come back"

I t makes a lot more sense now

When I first got to SJU everyone looked at me like I was an idiot for not knowing what whipping ****ties was.

I can't believe that 'doing cookies' was ranked higher!!   We may be ignant up here, but at least we've heard of doing donuts...     Although KR- I'm quite certain that you quickly acquainted yourself with s**tties 

[Johnnie Red]

So I walk out of my house this morning only to discover that it had been tp'd. Who did I piss off now? Both my kids are in college, so hopefully no high schooler targeted me. What was unique about it was that the paper was probably three feet wide. Don't usually see toilet paper like that. Then again, as we all know, there are some rather large a--holes out there.

I already knew how to whip sh*tties before I arrived in Minnesota, it was just the term I was unfamiliar with.

[DuffMan]

Whippin' sh*tties?  I never knew that that was pretty much a MN expression.  Although I've been known to call them donuts, too, sh*tty is my preferred expression.  There's some interesting things on that survey.  When I moved to the Milwaukee area (I was about 9) from Minnesota, it took me a while to figure out just what the hell a "bubbler" was.  Now I see why.  It's a pretty localized term.

Yep when I left Wisconsin to join the military after college I would ask where the bubbler was and the people in Texas  would look at me like I was on crack.  Of course down there everything is a "coke"  some one asked me if I wanted a coke and I said sure... they stood there waiting, I didn't know what for.  Then they asked what flavor... mt. Dew, cola, orange  totally threw me.

I suspect a Bethel graduate.  Has Mighty Royal been lurking in Carver recently?
Speaking of Bethel graduates, where is Carl Spackler?  Haven't heard from him
in a long time.

ROR,
Do you feel like driving to Iowa today?

Wesley acres is literally right across the street from my apartment.

This might be worth a visit to inspect. Can't wait to hear what intelligent comments the senile, parkinsonian residents of Wesley Acres come up with.

Here's how I envision it:

Bush: OK, we'll open the floor up for questions now.
Old Fart #1 (OF1): When is dinner?
Bush: umm... I don't know you'll have to ask the staff. Anyone else?
OF2: Have you seen my walker? I ain't seen it in 3 days, the damn staff here steals everything.
Bush: Is that it right behind you?
OF2: Huh, yup it is. Thanks.
Bush: Any questions about policy issues?
OF1: So when is dinner again?
OF3: I think I crapped myself
OF4: I think you did too.
OF5: Mr President, when I was your age, our president was a real man, that FDR was great.

At least the questions will be right about Georgie's level- we won't see any of those babbling, incoherent answers.
