Spew

and the growth of Woody

On Substance Abuse

Throwing up has to be uncool.
-Suggestion thrown out at Community Campus Task Force Relations meeting as a way to curb college drinking. Fortunately, acid and hash don't mess with the tummy much.

It's the worst.
-DPS director Tom Fitzpatrick, in response. Alcohol only seems to make these kids stronger. It takes at least 50 whacks to the head to subdue them.

On Recreation

When the weather gets nice, we spend most of our time hanging out on our front porch.
-Girl from a co-op at CCTFR meeting. Liars. We've been to your co-op. We were on the roof. At night. Smoking weed and drinking Fat Tire. Maybe it was sunny, who knows. Critter?

On Vertical Integration

When it all comes down to it, isn't it all about living, and being a living organism on this planet, and figuring out how to deal with it.
-GTF Christine Quail in J386, Media Economics. There's nothing living nor organic in the J-schoool. Carl Bybee, for instance.

The redistribution of wealth in this country is non-existent.
-Student in J386. You're white, you're male, you spent $10,000 for an education in economics and you apparently haven't heard of welfare or Social Security.

On Reality Bites

Before I came to OSPIRG, I really didn't know who I was mad at.
-Random OSPIRG petitioner overheard outside of EMU. And before Munger, none of us knew what it really meant to love.

Wait a minute, I need to get a Frappucino like the yuppie trash that I am.
-A dorm rat's provocative declaration. If you're really yuppie trash, you'd live in Chase Village, poseur.

On Logical Thinking

It's surprising. It's a shock. I suppose a lot of people saw it coming, but I for one thought she was going to stay around.
-Jeff Oliver on KEZI news regarding Jody Runge. demonstrting the pride in his own ignorance that placed him a triumphant third in the ASUO elections.

I started out like most of you - a drug addict.
-Woody Harrelson, speaking to a crowd of reefer addicts in the EMU Ampitheater. Woody, smoking raw hemp stalks may have made you a little wacky, but at least you're true to your roots.

On Keeping It Real

My bottom line is respect. Other people's bottom line is money. I think both arguments are correct.
-Rapper KRS-One in an Onion interview. Mad props to KRS for being a rapper while also managing to be living.

But I never again will join in on the rhetoric that the white man is the reason people can't get ahead in corporate America. That's bullshit now, as far as I'm concerned.
-KRS-One, again. Quick: name three songs by KRS-One.

On Tauber Time

Can't do it, too bad, so sad, see you next week.
-Alan Tauber to Student Senate when deliberating a money request from the Ad Club. He may not be a poet but at least he'll make appointments.

On Bulls and Bears

The economy remains in that situation until animal spirits are lifted and investment increases.
-Actual quote from a macroeconomics textbook, proving once and for all that economics is a pseudo-science invented by failed math majors.
