Eagle Rants Feb. 17

• STOP REPLYING TO RANTS!!!!

• Biddies in my marketing class I laugh at you everyday. HILARIOUS!

• What exactly is a BIDDY? or BIDDIE? Thankz!

• "there has to be more Game of Thrones fans out there!!" OMG YES. I LOVE THIS SHOW. WITH A FIERY PASSION. Ive been waiting soooo long for season two.

• Hey, I'm going to pretend that person saying they rant everyday is talking about me, soooo you should totally tell the person that you rant about him/her. I'm sure (s)he will appreciate it! :)

• I really want to post a controversial rant that will get the crowd going, but the chick with the stay at home mom issues, and the wannabe doctor have that covered! Darn you, Eagle Rants!

• What the frak is a pap smear? It sounds disgusting.

• @@@ my ex ruined me: I'm down. We can break the "first date" rule and rant about our ex's, cause I wanna hear your story.

• Ok Eagle Rants Editor, if you can get the rants before 5 pm for the next two days, I will take you out to a nice seafood dinner, call you the next day, then cook you dinner the next night. I need my rants!

[Editor’s Note: Deal. But actually can you text me, I don’t like talking on the phone.]

• @"GUYS, you put YOURSELVES in the friend zone"

I used to get pissed when I got friend zoned. Then I realized it was my problem and stopped doing it. It's not about being more of an asshole around girls; just about not being a wuss. It's an art.

Signed,

A Guy.

• Zeta Psi's new pledge class is just too sexy. <3

• That "conduct" letter about marijuana really made me want to start using drugs just because I don't want to associate myself with the kind of people who write such prissy emails..

• Hodor Hodor Hodor

• @Male Ranters:  Incognito mode.  Incognito mode all the way.  Also, you're freaking creepy for stalking his internet history.

• @"I was raised by a stay-at-home dad and a working mom: yes, it is possible for a mom to “do it all.”" How was your mom 'doing it all'. Your mom worked and your dad stayed home to raise the kids. Sounds like good teamwork to me. Not one person "having it all". That myth needs to die.

• @" I hope you realize how much I love you. You’re the best friend I’ve ever had..." okay, I can take that as much as it hurts. Ill just wait for some day. Just don't forget about me, okay?

[Editor’s Note: Don’t you, forget about me. Don’t don’t don’t DON’T]

• "There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met."

William Butler Yeats

• My room is too loud to handle right now.

• @curious girl,

Guys aren't stupid anymore. If you delete your history it's obvious you were watching porn but you cant just leave it. Instead we hold ctrl+shift+p on firefox to open private browsing mode. It doesn't delete your normal history but won't record what you're doing. I believe the crappy mac browser safari has similar features.

• @The pro adjunct union people -- thanks for the increased tuition!

• I dig the amount of ranters that are so for birth control! Go AU

• Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, help me stand. I am tired. I am weak. I am worn. Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light. Take my hand, Precious Lord, lead me home.

[Editor’s Note: Will do]

• If you want to check the number of meal swipes, just ask next time you go to TDR.

• hahaha. curious porn girl-- I use an incognito window, but i'll remember the names of certain sites. from, a girl

• WAIT I LOVE the ridiculously-loud-hallway-speaker-abusing radio kids! It makes me want to dance every time I walk by!!

• Whoever that was, a few days ago, in the Davenport Lounge, who liked English and Irish Breakfast Tea from Twinings as much as I did, you made my day with that, I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day and in the unlikely event that nobody gave you a valentine I shall have to purchase you a tea valentine of my own!

• I laughed when I read an old article about neopagan bookstores in Greece getting torched by Orthodox mobs and all five neopagans in Greece were probably highly offended by it.

• @there has to be more Game of Thrones fans out there. You are not alone. I already pre-ordered the complete first season dvds on Amazon and am anxiously awaiting season 2 this April. Winter is coming...this Spring.

• WHO CHANGED THE AU WIKIPEDIA PAGE. Star "Cookie Monster" Jones, LOL

• Stop giving your unwanted opinions on birth control. NO ONE wants to read them.

• HOBY alumni right herrrr

• My best friend has multiple guys going after her, wanting to date her, and she complains about having to choose... meanwhile, I would be happy with just one guy wanting to date me, and I wouldn't complain if multiples wanted to... Grrrr Arghh

• @pap smear debaters: Wait but I got BC through the health center and the doctor I saw told me I didn't have to get a pap smear, and that they actually wouldn't recommend it unless I was 21. I guess I just got lucky?

• sittin in the study room finally doing work and the chick across from me is showing mad boobage... much rather study anatomy now

• Adjunct professors vote to unionize? Where is Scott Walker when you need him!

• How bad is it that I'm more upset that I found out you don't want to date me than when I broke up with my last girlfriend?

• Holy birth control backlash, batman

• @"this is a BIDDY school"

While I share your general disapproval of biddie culture, I've found that a lot of the "biddies" are actually smart and nice once you actually talk to them. Also, most of the girls here are not biddies, it's just that the small biddie population has a strong presence on campus. Try to have an open mind- who knows, you may make a friend in an unexpected place.

• Ahhh HOBY loveee <3 Can we have some sort of event on campus please?? that would be OUTSTANDING.

• How am I supposed to find someone willing to go into that musty old clap trap?

• Oh hi, biggest tease in the goddamn world.

• I love dreagle ranting

• Waffle fries in The Tavern!!

• i need a shrink. too many boy problems. seriously, things have gotten completely out of hand. TOO MANY FEELINGS. I'M JOINING A NUNNERY.

• Lost all respect for you. It's pathetic that you act like a 5 year old when you're about to graduate and enter the real world. Also, please no more 1 am drunk texts asking me to hang out.

• @"curious girl": regardless of your gender, you generally delete your history when you watch porn for precisely the reason you illustrated: then, when people snoop through your computer, they don't find out what porn you like. Love, a girl who watches porn.

• What the heck was up with that e-mail from student conduct? Seriously? Were you HIGH when you decided to email THE WHOLE STUDENT BODY?

• What is love?

Baby don't hurt me.

• Tangled lyrics are the best lyrics. Thank you for brightening my day!

• I am sick of seeing those annoying i love my little facebook pages. I don't care how much you "love" your little sister who you met two weeks ago, and neither does the rest of the facebook community.

• You crumpled up the Valentine I gave you. It's sitting in your heap of crap. You don't even know how inconsiderate you are. Or dumb, frankly. Also, why are you ALWAYS sitting there, watching tv? You're also incredibly immature. Why do you have to call your mommy about every little thing? What an airhead.

• My dear Clark Kent,

I love you. Valentine's Day was perfect. Just like you.

(And fyi, girls in TDR do stare at us because of you, you sexy thing.)

Love you :)

• Why does every girl on campus have small boobs? Did y'alls have to fill out a cup size application when you applied to this school and did they then rejected every C-cup and above?

• Thank You, American University Form Email, for reminding all the students that although marijuana isn't dangerous, doing it will ruin your future because of societal consequences. Here's a novel idea, how about we as a society agree to stop punishing people for personal choices that don't harm anyone, and instead focus on things that actually matter?

• I'm going to submit an Eagle Rant about the Eagle Rants Editor, and then see if the Eagle Rants Editor can resist the temptation to respond to it. That's right, Editor, I dare you to post this rant and not respond to it.

• And I wish you noticed how unhappy I've been lately.  Instead, you're becoming like everyone else who believes the fake smiles.

• Is there a photography club on campus?

• @Curious Girl:  Yes, we all look at porn.  And yes, we all delete our browsing history after we do our thing or look at porn while privately browsing (incognito, etc).  Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.

-Your average male

• I don't think anyone is bashing stay at home moms (or dads for that matter).  There is no greater life path than committing yourself to raising your children without the distractions of a career (if your household can afford it).  What we're saying is that to spend over a hundred thousand dollars to get graduate degree (who's only function is to advance someone in the professional world) is nutty.

• Reading Eagle Rants isn't fun anymore. All people do is argue about birth control and stay at home moms.

• I love Game of Thrones!!!!

• Dear attractive straight men: Please stop having girlfriends. I am thiiiis close to going insane/becoming a lesbian.

• @"I need your help! When you watch porn on your personal laptop, do you delete the history/use an incognito window?"

If the guy you're thinking of is regularly getting laid, he might not watch much porn.  Masturbating every day is what you do when you're fourteen, not twenty, and deleting JUST the porn history on a personal laptop would be a little extreme/unlikely.

• I had to delete my facebook so I couldn't see your profile and your new girlfriend. Hello rock bottom.

• Type your wonk here!

Wonk your rant here!

• i just want a NY bagel. like 100,000 bagels

• Chucking off all your clothes and struting around the room naked. Best feeling ever!

• Almost all of the professors in SIS are super egotistical in all the wrong ways.  Really, there's no need to encourage the IR majors;  they're narcissistic enough as is.

• TOO MANY RANTS!

• okay seriously, eaglesecure? i was actually one of the few people i knew last semester who didn't have any problems with you... and now all of a sudden i have to reconnect every single time i open my computer...

• Don't act like nothing has happened, you have been horrible to me lately. Since you acted like that, then refused to apologize, I'm not your friend anymore. So stop don't talk to me, unless those words are "I'm sorry".

• If we aren’t supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?

• The rants just aren't that great anymore

• guy in the mudbox with the cartoon voice: SHUT UP

• Hurray for babysitting jobs on the AUSG Job Board! =P

Rant here!
