Darts & Pats (Submit your own!)
Posted on March 1, 2007

A “put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is” dart to my lazy roommate for offering to clean other people’s apartments for $20.
From your irritated roommate who thinks you should get off your butt and clean your own mess before trying to make a living off of the messes of others.

A “way-to-grab-a-seat” pat to the guy I watched carry an open lawn chair from the Village to the Quad on Monday.
From a humored junior who assumes you had a reason to do so, but has absolutely no idea what the reason could possibly be.

An “are-you-kidding-me?” dart to the “amused junior” who darted Brian Goodman, The Breeze’s mouthpiece of the cosmos, for bad news.
From a fellow student who seriously hopes your anger was a joke, because no intelligent Duke would believe made-up horoscopes…right?

A “way-to-show-Mother-Nature-who’s-boss” pat to the driver of the Jeep Wrangler parked at a precarious angle on a mound of snow in the R1 parking lot.
From an amused sophomore who wishes he could have been there to see you rappel out of your car.

A “my-ninja-skills-won’t-save-me-from-this” dart to the maintenance crew that only caulked over the water damage hole in our dorm bathroom.
From a sophomore who appreciates all the hard work you do, but would love to be able to shower without having to dodge falling ceiling again.

A “the-entire-class-thanks-you” pat to the psychology professor who moved our midterm exam back until after Spring Break because of how stressed we all were.
From a thankful student who is glad you understood and made allowances for the fact that your class is not the only one we’re taking.
