Kickin' UR Balls



Kickball kicks ass,I'm just gunna roll that one over the plate, and last night proved to be no different.  Well, it was "Old Skool Kickball", or whatever the hell they wanna call it, but it was really just plain old traditional kickball.

Seriously, why the hell is it called "old skool"? Is there a "new skool" version of kickball?  Better yet, why the F@ck is "school" spelled with a GD "k"!?  Does that make it kool?  So kool it needs a "k" for kool?  Whenever the "old skool" was, could they not spell back then, or were they just stupid?  This is a college for words'-sake! Have some respect for the language! Americans are all ready half-illiterate and their vocabularies are shrinking by the day...don't add to the retardedness.  "But I digress", as Suggie B. likes to say frequently.

Last night approximately 40 people, both boys and girls, showed up to play kickball and everyone had a good time.  Surprisingly, there were no bad sports and it was a really nice way to forget about school work for a few hours.  of the two teams, RED and YELLOW, YELLOW managed to come from behind and smoke the RED team.  Even though me and the other RED players lost, we all had fun.

SAB organized another great event and they did manage to fix the problem I mentioned before about the winning team receiving t-shirts.  For this event, they marked hands for teams and gave out headbands that had to be presented to receive a shirt.  This ensured that everyone on the winning team received a shirt first and the losing players could get a shirt if there were any available afterward.

Bottom Line: The Old Skool was krazy, kool and funK. See, it was so fun I had to ADD a "k" to fun. Now that's pretty kool if you ask me...or lame.  It's hard for me to call.

Put a Lid On It...It's For Your Own Good

So I was sitting on the commode(funny word for toilet) the other day and I remembered the whole "poop cloud" thing I heard a while ago and never thought it was true.  After some research, I learned that the "poop cloud" is actually called the "aerosol effect" which is the result of flushing ones toilet causing a mushroom cloud of toilet disasters(poop and other bad things) to fly all over the room.







In these two videos you can see what the aerosol effect is.  Also, you can see a possible solution to the problem with a toilet seat called the PUREFLUSH.  So, after finding all of this I looked at my current bathroom in Westmoreland Hall and got a little angry.
My Bathroom: Covered in micro-Poop everywhere


There are many things wrong with this picture. Here are the big ones I noticed. They are:
1.) There's no toilet lid for the seat
2.) The toothbrush holder is within arms reach of the toilet
3.) There's a shelf ABOVE the toilet


If you're using the toothbrush holder mounted to the wall in you room then it's VERY likely that you're brushing your teeth with a poop covered toothbrush.  Sorry, I had to bring it up.  You can't cover the toilet because THERE'S NO LID to keep the mushroom cloud from happening. YUCK!  I also have to mention how strong these toilets flush.

They could suck a bowling ball along with your waste left from a Chipotle trip with no problem(don't get the hot sauce...it's bad news).  I've flushed the toilet and felt water splash onto my feet on many occasions. YEA...real nice. Want another example? My bathroom-mate drinks a lot of protein shakes and he usually has a liquid poo a few times a week.  When he flushes, liquid poop and God knows what else sprays up and gets all over the bottom of the seat...which is a really nice thing to find whenever I lift my toilet seat up.  I hate to make a big deal out of something so minuscule but I can't pinch this one off and flush it away.


What do I want? A lid for shits' sake! And it's not even for the poop and bacteria that is being spread, it's so I can be sure nothing falls into the toilet that my roommate and I have on that shelf.  Not to mention it's a wire shelf so things can slip right through if they're the right size.

I wouldn't be so angry if no one had a lid for their toilet, but some people do.  The Villages and Courts both have a lid for their toilet seats, and both represent the best and worst places to live on campus(more on that later).  Westmoreland Hall was built AFTER the Villages were, so why the F@ck don't we have lids? Was it a cost issue?  It only makes sense to put lids on toilets just to be cleaner and ensure that only the things the belong in the toilet go into them.  Robert Shaw and College hall has a different kind of toilet situation so I get why they don't need a lid, but we definitely do. WTF UPG?

What do you guys think?

I wish they sold this in Pittsburgh

I've been a fan of EpicMealTime for about a month now.  The food they make would make a 50lb balimic girl want to go on a diet of....puking more?  Ya, they make you not want to eat anything remotely unhealthy and shock my brain to a point where I immediately want to go to the gym. 

The latest creation: A Superbowl 45 tribute sandwich to Ben Roethlisberger.

PS-Enjoy the Superbowl

Forget Ramen Noodles and Buy a BOAT!

College students eating Ramen Noodles is nothing new, but there's a cheaper and healthier alternative that I bet most of you just laugh at.  The alternative? Why it's the Pasta Boat, of course!
 
 
The Pasta Boat looks like another POS you see on late night infomercials that prey of the fat and the restless.  If you don't live in the Academic Villages or the University Courts then a stove top is not available and cooking your own pasta is out of the question, or at least it was. I saw ads for this thing and it had my interest, but I was skepticall.  I finally decided to buy one when I saw it at Walmart for $10 and I was really surprised by it. IT WORKS!!!

The P.B. allows you to make up to five pounds of pasta at one time and that's crazy considering one pound can feed a family of four!  It takes under 20 minutes to make any amount of pasta and it takes a little while to learn how long it takes to make some pastas cook thoroughly.  Pasta sells for about $1 a pound and jars of sauces can cost you up to $6 at the most, which will last a while.  Pretty cheap, eh?

Personally, I fucking HATE Ramen Noodles.  Please don't tape me to a flag pole until I can explain.  Ramen Noodles have over 860mg of sodium which is terrible considering that's all from just one little cup or packet.  Nutritionally, these noodles are terrible for your health and the servings are pretty small.  Sure, they cost about $1 a piece but so what?  That doesn't make something "good."  Plus, I hate seeing those faded green pees hat are all weird and wrinkled in addition to the other odd colored vegetables. You can make your own pasta without all of the preservatives and it can actually be cheaper.  So the next time you want Ramen Noodles, remember that there is an alternative to our noodle needs that is just as cheap, and it's better for you.

Screw you, Freshmen Fifteen!
