Darts & Pats
Posted on September 5, 2006

A “training-was-before-school-started” dart the new Dining Services employee who decided to double punch my sandwich combo.
From an angry student who is upset with falling back to freshman-style living by eating microwavable noodles.

An “avast-ye-land-lubbers” pat to the assumedly freshman boys swimming in the creek behind Mr. Chips who brightened my day even though I hadn’t brought an umbrella to class.
From a senior girl who was getting grumpier — and wetter — by the minute until you guys reminded her how much fun rain can be.

A “why-did-the-chicken-never-leave-the-farm?” dart to JMU Dining Services for not including chicken nuggets on the menu at D-hall.
From a junior girl who is upset that she can’t put the D-hall honey mustard to better use.

A “way-to-have-no-concept-of-‘public’” pat to the impressively passionate couple swapping spit in a pick-up at Sheetz.
From an amused upperclassman voyeur who was glad he wasn’t the only one in the establishment staring at the display.

An “as-if-your-coffee-wasn’t-overpriced-already” dart to Barnes & Noble and their Starbucks for charging a monthly fee to access their wireless Internet.
From a caffeine-addicted senior who will be taking his business to other, more student-friendly establishments who won’t rip me off every chance they get.

A “thanks-for-keeping-it-real” pat to Buffalo Wild Wings for labeling their straws “beverage acquisition tubes.”
From a junior guy who was impressed with both your vocabulary and your wit.
