Spew

On Dale-isms

If I was blind...I'd be pissed.

--Senator Elliot Dale eloquently rebutting another senator's insensitive remarks to the effect that deaf and blind people don't matter.

I've kind of been listening to what everyone is saying...obviously.

--Sen. Dale prefacing his remarks on the EMU benchmark largely regarded as one of the finest pieces of oratory in the history of the world ever.


On Toaster Ovens

I could use a break.

--Sen. David McGee. We know. It must be tough hanging around the Senate office all day blowing up evil virtual robots. Woo! Watch that hectic schedule, fireball!


On Wassons

I've tried to get spewed. I keep saying stuff around Hemingway and Oberriter, but it just never happens.

--ASUO Multicultural Advocate Robert Wasson. Well, here you go, although we don't know why you wanted to be Spewed - it's certainly not the Dr. K. reason.

We've don't generally do anything.

--Sen. Jenna Wasson explaining the raison d'etre of student government.


On Oh, the Shame!

I wouldn't be proud to have a donor wall to get more money.

--Executive Chief of Staff Sadie Rogers, condemning the possibility that recognition of donors might spur people to contribute even more obscene amounts of money to the University.


On Money's Worth

When that courtyard gets done, walking through there better be a spiritual experience. When I walk through there my shoes better be shined and someone better hand me a coup of coffee and tell me to have a nice day.

--PFC Chair Dave Koch. Preach on brother Dave!


On Incredulity

I think they've performed well. I think they've performed the duties that were assigned to them by us.

--Student Nathan Buehler as quoted in the Emerald . Ah, finally we've found the elusive fifth voter in last year's elections! This compilation CD involves a live performance by Chumbawamba entitled "Showbusiness!" and a critical speech on the capitalist system by [Noam] Chomsky.

--From the Student Insurgent's "Reviews" sections. So you're saying this album doesn't just suck, it really, really sucks.


On Masculinity

Is there any possibility of adding some suggestive language to encourage the EMU to pursue getting doors for men's room stalls?

--Sen. Kent Black voicing his concern over having to look deeply into another man's eyes while laying cable.


On Oh Gee Whiz!

Squirrels: Some are killed while crossing busy roads.

--Headline from the Nov. 10 Emerald. ODE Editors: Some will be insipid all their lives.
