THEY Watch


 

They are dangerous, like cancer.  They are insatiable, also like cancer.  They are malevolent, which isn’t all that much like cancer because cancer is just a group of malignant cells and doesn’t really have a conscious mind of its own.  The point is that they are like cancer in many ways, and worse in a few.  But does Lance Armstrong fight them?  Do we walk to raise money to oppose them?  No!  You alone can raise your finger and point them out as THEY!

    I. I love alliterations, and that alone caused me to place more than a casual glance at this digital abortion. I assumed I would find an outlet of thinkers who couldn't help but stray from their mundane papers to post about the real philosophical issues of the day. Instead, I learned that there are students here who print off Facebook pictures and jerk off onto them in Butler bathrooms.  Come on, we stopped masturbating to yearbook pictures in ninth grade, at least.  If I were going to make a website with the dual goals of creating a void of thought and draining what little dignity the campus has left, I would create "Bored at Butler."  BORED AT BUTLER = THEY!

    II. Richard III was a marvelous production, and only one thing would have made it better: being plastered while watching it. The beer was available, but my trusty bottle opener was nowhere to be found. My fucking kingdom for a bottle opener! But since I often envision myself as MacGyver, I began to search for anything on which to open my brew. Trashcans, railings, the very buildings themselves all proved to be too soft or too curvy or just generally useless for bottle opening. The limestone of Schermerhorn just peeled away beneath the cap. Would it have been so difficult to design a campus with some decent bottle opening edges?  BLUNT SURFACES = THEY!

    III.  All good things have to come to an end, and that pisses me off to no end. Can't the weekend just roll on forever in a glorious, made-for-TV teen movie special? Can’t we stretch three days of fun into seven of excess? No it all has to end, eventually, on ... SUN = DAY!
