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

Other fun things that happened when I was a freshman:

Someone stole my clothes and locked me out of my room when I was in the shower.

My roommate threatened me with a bow and arrow.

Someone drugged my food with stuff that high school wrestlers took to lose weight, leaving me sick to my stomach during an exam.

Someone locked me out of my room, preventing me from studying for an exam.

People would yell "Faggot" out the window when I was near our dorm.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Wow, tommy -- I had a really nasty roommate who was so eager to get rid of me that she stuffed all my belongings into two huge boxes when I didn't show up for a day after taking refuge at a friend's room after saying I couldn't stand it any more and applying for a new living situation.

You win.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, tommy.

I hadn't even thought about that stuff in a while. I think it was that many guys on my wing didn't like me because they thought I was gay.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

locked me out my room

did they steal your keys? I don't this was possible at my school, if you had a key, you could get into your room.

Sorry your first year was so rough. Some of those things should have earned someone a suspension or expulsion.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, man, Tommy, that sucks. I won't complain about getting my phone card/money stolen or my dormmate using my towels ever again.

DH and I went to see Brad Garrett's stand up last night. Damn he was UNFUNNY. He totally missed the audience--in fact, some of his insult comedy back fired on him and the audience got bigger laughs than he did. His material is just old and not very good. He does do an excellent Rodney Dangerfield impression but honestly, I'd prefer to see Rodney than Brad. His opening comic was much better, thank goodness, so the night wasn't a complete washout.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So did any of your dorms have a "club" where people would pull fire alarms in the middle of the night? One night these asshats pulled them 5 times. I think some of the members got caught and expelled, or maybe that was just wishful thinking. In any case, it finally stopped after having this go on for several weeks.

The Annex wing of my dorm (where most of the freshman ended up) had doors that you could set to lock automatically. More than once I locked myself out accidentally and had to find an RA to open the door (once when I was in my bathrobe after taking a shower). Good times.
