Willow ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It was breaking news as of 10am! Where ya been, amych? Also, another dude on the team was arrested in DC last fall for gay-bashing.
I must say, the Duke Lacrosse team may or may not pass the gang-rape test, but they sure do seem to pass the asshole test with flying colors.
Kick this fucker out of school, NOW.
And out of my city, while we're at it. The Herald-Sun (Durham paper) also has an article on this: [link]
It was breaking news as of 10am! Where ya been, amych?
Clearly, I was squandering my energies on root beer float variations and much less well-targeted irritation at the campus newspaper's ongoing idiocy about the story. (Today's highlights: I'll Be Pissed If The Lacrosse Thing Means They Shut Down Football Tailgating; and Durham Sucks A Whole Lot So Why SHOULD We Have Good Town-Gown Relations?)
30 men didn't care, and celebrated.
I give up.
Barq's is the best big-selling root beer, but there are some really excellent varieties put out by smaller producers.
I discovered it as a small local New Orleans brand in the early '80s. Slogans of the era -- "Of course it's great. But is it root beer?" and "Drink Barq's. It's good!"
It's just fucking foul, Allyson.
Screw the university. I want him kicked out of the human race.
Man, I don't have the words to articulate my fury.
In less rage-ful news, the root bear site allowed me to track down the name of the root beer I loved to pieces when it was still around: Mystic Seaport.
On the plus side, there are guys like this out there.
Root beer is the crap that tastes like mouthwash, right?
I do love cream soda though. And cream soda floats. For when your cream soda just isn't creamy enough. Mmm.
Yeah, I've been basking in this fury for 2 weeks now. The sad thing is, it gets old.
amych, I know of a student who is planning a response to the "Petting Zoo" column; she's asked people to email things they love about Durham. So if you want her email, ping me. (Calli too for that matter.)
