BLOGTOBERFEST: SHALLOW, MATERIALISTIC EDITION
Blogtoberfest: we don’t dream about anyone…except ourselves…
USC earns “Most Superficial” in Radar’s survey of bad education in America. Whatever, ugly poor virgin writer guy. Conquest Chronicles wants to know where this Bikini Hill is.
Clay, philistine that he is, fails to understand the intellectual underpinnings of the Save the Daves movement. Many things in life can be good, but so few are charming: that’s the point. Asking for both is going against the evidence life has offered us thus far.
Tennessee’s new facilities have carpet that looks like kit-kats bars arranged in opposing patterns. COINCIDENCE?
The giant bolted ‘T’ looks like something from Portal or 2001.
Phil: Open the cookie bay door, General Neyland. GN: i can’t do that, phil….
This week in Hayes versus Hall: Commenters love it!
Minnesota’s ACT scores are the worst in the Big Ten. What’s the ACT? Wharr’s mah banjo and whompin’ stick?
ESPN 360, you complete me. If you have it, its powers could be wondrous this season.

Loved the back-and-forth with Hayes. I’m surprised at the glowing comments, though.

Nice job, O. That commenter, spottheball, has to be a WV fan. Just has to be.

Redundancy Dept:
USC earns “Most Superficial” label…
…great article!
The writer is obviously exaggerating, but USC has a whole bunch of pretty babes with perky ones. What’s wrong with that?
Now you understand why Matt Leinart gave up millions to stick around another year at USC.

LOL!—if you missed the irony in the blurb that badly, your own ACT score may need to be a subject of public disclosure.

Clearly, the good folks at the Greater Shreveport Visitors & Convention Bureau have a Google Alerts set up for this “Spencer Hall,” just to let him know who’s boss.

ESPN360 is a very good thing indeed. Aside from the programming, it supports claims that you have to “work” this evening and keeps you glued to the laptop so that appears to be true.

When Conquest Chronicles finds Bikini Hill, let’s all hope he/she takes photos.
Thanks.

WhiteSpeedReceiver says:
I’m convinced “best ACT score” among football teams is akin to “graduating with honors from Iowa” or “Special Olympics 100m Dash Champion.”
That doesn’t mean I won’t be burning down the Star Tribune for slandering my FOOOOOOOOTBAW team after the game Saturday night.

@ Gen. Stoopnagle – working on it. Thus far all I’ve been able to scare up was one sans bikinis, which is what I get for being in campus in late June.

At Georgia Tech we had something similar. Girls would lay out on this parking deck area. Except it was more like Bikini Hell.

Re: ACT scores
The comments after the article are great, especially the one about Purdue and Minnesota at the end.

Bikini Hill is located just south of the library… it’s a section of the lawn that rises up about 4 feet and runs about 100 ft by 15 feet. On a hot day, there’s nothing but undergraduate ‘tang covering that thing. A sight to behold for sure.
As yes, it is a rich/superficial school. There was a freshman in the dorms driving a lamborgini ( can’t spell it, yet some 17 yr old was driving one… but i’m not jealous. no, not at all).

I can’t believe it, but I just discovered that ESPN360 is available on the Univ of Alabama network… anyone who can vpn through the wireless on campus can watch it for tailgating. WOOOO HOOOOOOOO!

Bryan: I was in some classes at SC with Abdul, the tiger man of Abu Dhabi, whoose uncle was supposedly the #3 sheik back there. He seemed to have pretty much infinite funds at his disposal. He’d buy cars on a whim, and once he bought himself an airplane.
Even at a place with as much wretched excess as USC he stood out.

OC Phil: My sophomore roommate dated that guy very briefly. On a first date, some guys bring flowers. He brought her a Cartier watch. I’m not kidding.
Even a gold digger like herself (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) couldn’t handle it. I just remember that I was really disappointed because I hoped they would date for awhile, which would have given me the opportunity to befriend him and also be lavished with expensive gifts. Sigh.
You’re right though. I met a lot of very, very wealthy people at USC, but I will never forget that guy.
