Hello, fellow Whitman students. I just wanted to let you know that sometimes you say some weird things. To demonstrate this, I have written down some conversation snippets, word for word, that I have found worthy of publication. (Of course, to ensure that I don’t have people tracking me down and giving me a playful hit on the head with a sledgehammer, I have replaced all the actual names with those of George Bridges and Barbara Maxwell.) George Bridges – Yeah, we’ll have to characterize it. Barbara Maxwell – I don’t even know what the fuck that means.
Talked once, got my participation points.
I can’t wait for the new season of “Downton Abbey.”
9 a.m.
is too
Barbara Maxwell – It’s been over-generalized as a game where you jump up and down a lot.
early.
George Bridges – I’d be willing to work for money. George Bridges – Hillary Clinton is a boss. Barbara Maxwell – Can you guys be mean to her and make fun of her and kick her? George Bridges – Why? Barbara Maxwell – Because we want her back, obviously. Barbara Maxwell – Oh, I saw my RA in the dining hall; I didn’t say anything, but it was so weird after seeing him naked. George Bridges – That’s really valuable, in the sickest sense of the word. George Bridges – In Mexico there’s a law: If a woman abandons her home, then she loses complete custody of her kids. Barbara Maxwell – Awww snap!

[students] [staff] Reindeer? Chuck Cleveland clevelan@whitman.edu to me
To All:
We are wondering who left a frozen reindeer carcass in Narnia adjacent to “flerbruksrommet.” According to eye witnesses, it has been there since autumn, and none of the “usual suspects” in reindeer-related science want to have anything to do with it, apparently. Could we ask the owner of the carcass to please contact me before the 15th of March? If the carcass is still unclaimed by that date, we would like to use it for an upcoming polar fox project. Med vennlig hilsen/Best regards,
