Re: “CSU's Terrible Dorm Policies Rile Students”
What's the purpose of going to college and living in a dorm if you can't destroy your living space, party 24/7, and act like an asshole? Lighten up, CSU! Next thing, you'll be making these poor put-upon children actually buy textbooks, study for tests, go to class, and even learn enough to pass their courses and graduate.
Dorms are zoos in most universities, but kids have pushed the envelope too far in recent years. Go rent some run-down slummy apartment and see how long most landlords will tolerate the crap that administrators wink at. Like the shaving cream fights...someone could poke their eye out! Then they'd have a reason to use "curse words in public"...as in "Goddammit, you've blinded me and I can't fucking see!"
After two years of hating dorm life, I moved into an attic slum, and life was good. One afternoon my landlord barged in on me and my girlfriend while we were rolling around on the floor and blasting In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. And yeah, he actually believed that what he smelled was incense.
Why spend all that moolah if you can't stand a few restrictions? Deal with it....or just go find some off-campus dump...or live with mommy and daddy. Or maybe put down the bottle and stop acting like a shmuck.

Re: “Cleveland, As Seen From Space”
From space, no one can hear you screaming: "February and March suck!"
It snowed nearly every day (and night) during the week of Feb. 17-23.
Methinks this had to have been taken last summer!

Re: “Fault on All Fronts”
Um...it's actually "prima facie"...which is a Latin expression meaning "on its first encounter, first blush, or at first sight." The literal translation would be "at first face" or "at first appearance", from the feminine form of primus ("first") and facies ("face").
You have it as "prima fascie"...which could be translated as "First fascist." Maybe you got it right.

Re: “Keepin' It Dangerous and Miserable”
And downtown Minneapolis has bridges that connect major buildings...they call them "skywalks"...but you still have to go outside to catch a bus or a train...Minnesota is a frozen hellhole for half the year...we may be gray and snowy, but that's a lot easier to take than near-zero and sunshine. Trust me. At least you don't freeze your face off.

Re: “Plans Divulged for Remaining Flats Resto Spot”
For twenty bucks, I expect something on my plate a little bigger than some teensy yupster-foodie portion that wouldn't fill my feline's food dish. Nor do I want to give the keys to my 4-speed to some skinny jamoke of a valet who can't drive a stick. For these two reasons alone...I'll eat in the neighborhoods, and eschew(pun intended) the joys of eating anywhere near downtown.

Re: “We Get Mail”
Hey, Chad...maybe you oughta "Zum" outta here...ever heard of editing and proofreading? Yeah, I know it's "my first column"...you mentioned it twice...and they even printed the same column twice, but it still sucks just as bad."Cool vibes"? "Debaucherous" people? "Hipsters on EAST 25th?"
"Wacky" radio stunts? "Tepid and tepid-er?" "Smoking hot Victoria?" Please...
"Made us feel like we all had a shot with her?" Really? Good thing you went to Mullarkey's...maybe you shoulda called your first column "A Night of Mullarkey."
Also a good thing you claim to have "quit taking notes"...because you were already too wasted to continue further? Typing while intoxicated is not a good idea, either.Whatta break for SCENE's readership. I think you had your tryout...and blew it.
Sounds like you aren't even old enough to be served at any of these places. Did anyone on the staff even bother to read what this jamoke turned in before they ran it?

Re: “The Weekly Beef: Enough About Ohio”
Here's the complete list: Five Republicans who took Ohio...but lost the election to the Democratic candidate...
1960: Nixon over JFK
1944: Dewey over FDR
1892: B. Harrison over G. Cleveland
1884: Blaine over G. Cleveland
1856: Fremont over Buchanan
The Ohio winner has won the Presidency in 24 of the last 26 contests (see 1944 and 1960, above). That's a pretty damn good track record.
