Posted on April 10, 2006

A “thanks-for-brightening-my-week” pat to whoever posted the handwritten note “You are beautiful” above the scale in the women’s locker room at UREC.
From a sophomore who appreciates those who understand that not everyone has the body of a supermodel.

A “triple-the-thickness-or-triple-the-quantity” dart to Festival for charging $1.09 for two paper-thin slivers of bacon.
From a hungry student who loves her pork products but can’t stomach paying so much for what wouldn’t amount to a half-teaspoon of bacon bits.

A “you-are-what’s-wrong-with-America” dart to the uptight daddy’s girl who threatened to “slap a lawsuit on someone’s butt” for an errant throw of a Frisbee on the Quad.
From a senior guy who relaxes by tossing on the Quad, wonders where the days of peace and free love went, and says you can slap his butt anytime.

A “thanks-for-the-service-with-a-smile” pat to the three Campus Cadets who not only walked me to my car, but scraped the frost off the windows while insisting I sit in the car and stay warm.
From a grateful late-night studying gal who not only values her safety, but your kindness and dedication too.

A “he’s-only-held-the-office-since-before-you-were-born” dart to the senior quoted in The Breeze who thought that “not a lot of people know who [George Allen] is.”
From an alumnus who hopes that this student is not accurate in his observation of the political awareness and involvement of the current student body.

A “way-to-assume-everyone-will-binge-drink-on-their-21st-birthday” dart to Dave’s Taverna for not serving my roommate a single drink because she was not 21 years old plus one day.
From a disappointed roommate who was excited to take the birthday kid out at midnight, only to find that Dave’s laws were not the same as the Commonwealth of Virginia’s.
