In case you missed it: The GQ douche

From The Herald’s editorial page board yesterday.

Dear GQ editors,

We’re writing to let you know that we’re not mad. We’re sorry you think we’re douches, honestly. But we’re not mad at you for it. The feeling on campus since the release of your article hasn’t been anger, or resentment. Not even frustration. No, more than anything it’s been confusion.

A lot of people here would like to chat with you about semantics. (Yes, we use words like semantics.) It’s not that your profile of our school is wrong — (many of us ran out to the driveway and tore those peace signs right off) — we just don’t see the connection between being a smart, rich pacifist and being a douche.

Continued after the jump.

Fish Co. Full Force

The good news is the freshman are carrying on the legend that is Fish Co. Not only did an ambulance show up to wheel away some tragically drunk creature, but police men were full on handcuffing some random guys trying to enter through the back entrance. This is the Fish Co I remember! And love! Sadly, the police cut the line off, so I can’t be a firsthand witness to the insides of Fish Co, but I’m pretty sure it was the same old, same old. You know, poles, random hookups, and overpriced drinks–whatever keeps you coming back for more! I ended up going to the Cigar Lounge across the street (another post all together) but the scene out front will forever be imprinted upon my memory. What did you think?
