The President Has Landed
By The Fairy Godmistress (07/03/2008 9:30 PM) Tags: TCU president, duncan pickard, middle east, cultural garb
Newly elected TCU President, Duncan Pickard, is spending his summer in Amman, Jordan and he has wasted no time adapting to the culture.
His traditional garb is supposed to make him "blend in" with the locals.
I don't know... He still looks like a White Boy from the Vineyard to me.

Can't Find Where Your Class Is? Well, You're Stupid, But Try This Anyway

I've written about this twice already but with the second summer session starting on Wednesday I figured it was worth repeating. Plus when I looked on one of the campus maps for the building I have class in tomorrow I couldn't find it anywhere. The Wagner bu

And it goes without saying that whoever makes it on Rumor Royalty's NU A-List has to have a hot body.
Although I have to say, if these people are gracing the Keg every day, the A stands for Alcoholic. There's going out and then there's going overboard.

Last summer, I brought you the Things To Bring To College Series--necessary items included the designer purse, Hot Nurse costume , Rihanna branded umbrella (What a good song!), and Facebook relationship status.
I take it all back.

By The Peasant (06/30/2008 08:10 AM) Tags: mildly absurd, skiing, jumbo
Think elephant mascots are wimpy and lame? Check out this video of Tufts' mascot, Jumbo, hitting the ski slopes with Olympic-caliber finesse and skill, then ask yourself, "Can my school's mascot do this?"
Also, the music is supremely apt - I do believe it's the song from the scene in Jumbo where he gets drunk an... MORE »

Thank you, Pi Kapp, for putting your recruitment video online for all to see. Now we know what it truly means to be a total bro at Mizzou!
From the looks of it, it means lots of getting wasted and half-blinking for the camera, making gang signs at any opportune moments, awkwardly attempting to

Apparently in 2005 Penn State created a time capsule to celebrate their sesquicentennial (150 year anniversary for everyone else). Now that I think of it I have seen the time capsule - it's in a case in the HUB near the murals. So the plan is to open the capsule in 2055, w

The Legend of Giantman

"I am Giantman. I am huge. And I have brought you...BUTTERSCOTCH!"
Such was the siren call of campus legend Giantman, a mysterious nine-foot-tall behemoth that would make appearances on the Res Quad in the fall of 1994. One day, two students, one sitting on the other's shoulders, covered in blankets, wielding a w
