Class Performances

I want to say congratulations to everyone who performed and thanks to my classmates who were very respectful toward everyone's performances. I think we all learned that trying to be funny isn't easy, and it takes a lot of balls to put something together and show it in front of the class. So classmates, give yourself a pat on the back for giving everyone the respect they deserved for doing something so hard.

ESPECIALLY for our boys and girls that performed in front of the class. I got to give you kids mad props for doing so. It's one thing to put together a video, press the play button, and then sit back down in your seat. It's another thing to stand up in front of everyone, our eyes beating down on you, wanting to laugh, and you guys maintained your composure and had some hilarious jokes. That took A LOT of courage. Good job guys and girls.

I'm bad with names, so the group that put together the Radish Enquirer, it was awesome. A fan of the onion, I thought your fake website was great. I LOVED the literary allusions. I havent heard anyone mention The Yellow Wallpaper since my senior year of high school. Birtha in the attic? That was fantastic. And More Mad Props go to the Cask of Amontillado reference. That is my favorite Poe piece. Fuck you Fortunato.

Whoa, Courtney. Whoa. Let's take a step back here. Next time you're in the quad, or in a class, or at humphreys, lacleeds, iggys, wherever, take a good long look at the women around you. I don't know what St. Louis University YOU'VE been attending, but trust me, it's us GUYS who have been lowering our standards. You can't expect EVERY guy at SLU to look like Bart Posnick or Ryan Trimberger or Thomas Martin. Still, there are plenty of good looking guys on campus. Women? Well, as the saying goes, if you have nothing nice to say...
But that would've been my only critique. Props for pointing out the North Face trend. I too am in that cult and hell if it aint like EVERYONE has a NF. Who wants to wear Columbia??!!!
And Stuff White People Like is a fantastic blog.

The SLU 101 video...thank god me and Donovan did not do that. You girls have no idea how similar our videos would've been. Even I had come up with a joke about peeing on the billiken. I'm glad me and Pat hadn't shot that. We were also thinking about doing a joke about the getting hit by a car rumor! People would've thought we copied each other! But being that I thought about doing that billiken joke/hit by a car, and you girls did do it, props go to you girls for having a good sense of humor.

Really, great job by everyone.

And now I shall return to watching Maury
