Thumbs Up
Your Body - TU/TD loves your body; it's bangin'. Look in the Robsham windows to see for yourself. So, take a minute out of every day to compliment yourself during this Love your Body Week and every other day in the year.
Mod Rocks - Every time you pass the alcove right next to the McElroy stairs, a set of large rocks is playing soft rock (pun intended). These are billed as "Mod Rocks," and you are implored to be the first to rock out with them (also intended). Has anyone in the Mods actually purchased one of these? We would welcome a letter to the editor commenting on their quality and their inability to blend in with modular surroundings.
Sailing - Last weekend, the BC sailing team captured the ICSA Sloop National Title. Congratulations on a great effort, team. Vineyard Vines bowties and crew-neck sweaters for everyone!
Toy Story 3 - The trailer for this greatly anticipated Pixar film has finally been released. The movie is set to feature all the characters from the two previous films (minus Prospector), another original score from Randy Newman, and returning voice actors. Coming on the heels of Where the Wild Things Are, Toy Story 3 will probably be an emotional roller coaster for the college-aged longing for a bygone era.
World Series - The Fall Classic is upon us, pitting the Yankees of New York against the Phillies of Philadelphia. Sox fans also have a stake in the affair, as hating the Yankees is only trumped in importance by actually making the Series.
Weird Al - Continuing in the footsteps of other quintessential musicians like Simon & Garfunkel, Yo-Yo Ma, and Stevie Ray Vaughn, the parody artist "Weird Al" Yankovic has finally been deemed culturally relevant enough to be featured in a "The Essential …" album. This is not to be confused with the two other "best of" CDs that Yankovic has released over his prolific career … it is actually very difficult to deride a man who goes by "Weird Al" and plays amateur accordion.
Thumbs Down
Transfers - Earlier this week, it was released that football players Justin Tuggle and Josh Haden will be transferring. We wish both players the best of luck in the future, especially Haden who must now remove a tattoo of the BC logo from his chest.
Limbaugh - Rush Limbaugh is up to his old greasy tricks. Several days ago, the radio host was sucked into a sordid tale of misinformation when he began to read excerpts of Barack Obama's anti-American university thesis. It was the story of the century, until Limbaugh learned that they were fabricated by a blogger. Rather than apologize, though, Rush is standing his ground. If this isn't shoe-level journalism at its finest, TU/TD doesn't know what is.
