Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Let's see - ultimately it was David Bowie's fault....

That means they're coming to arrest you. Oh no.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My college is Number 16!

Gift idea: Televangelists' Rapture Early-Warning System (scroll down)
Sounds a loud alarm and flashes a bright blue light half-an-hour before the beginning of Judgement Day, giving you ample time to repent your transgressions before 'Rapture' begins. Enjoy the life of a sinner right up until the last moment: take drugs, steal church funds, have sex with prostitutes, etc. and be forgiven just in time! Also suitable for agnostics.

Oh no! The place my professor friends are moving next year (where they will be living on campus) is number 11.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Please ice, shrift. That much pain needs it. The sooner the better.

Four or five of us would go out regularly for it once a week. We haven't really been eating together in a few months for one reason or another, even partially. Hopefully we will be reunited next week. I am reasonably sappy in this regard.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My college's big rival is Number 7. And while I wouldn't give Drexel any beauty prizes, it also isn't the ugliest I've seen.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
As some of the commenters noted, the 20-ugliest reviewer has a serious hate-on for modern architecture. None of the pictures evoked any kind of classic Ivy League serene loveliness, but some of them were just... modern. Kind of cool, just not ivy and bricks and dramatic archways.
And I can't believe my college got snubbed on the 20 most beautiful list. Pepperdine, the single most beautiful college campus in the entire US? Please. It's pretty and all, but it's not all that and a bag of words, and certainly not all that and a bag of words more than every other college in the country.
