Eagle Rants: September 24, 2012

• Can you guys write a story about the new Student Activities rules that prohibit groups on campus (i.e. Dems, College Repubs) from bringing "partisan" speakers to campus? NO politician in DC is non-partisan, so let's just all say goodbye to having good speakers at AU. Seriously, this bureaucratic nonsense needs to stop. Between the University and SG, not EVERYTHING has to be legislated. Seriously, enough.

• I can't believe I wasted my weekend rushing the honors fraternity. I would have rather been drinking.

• your voice makes my day brighter

• Oh hey, I'm glad that you think it's totally chill to act like you want something long-term with me, and then once we have sex stop talking to me completely. You're such a gentleman. At least now I know you're not the type of guy I want to be with anyway.

• CAUS Guy, Well, obviously. I never say no to free food, especially in the name of lower tuition. And have you noticed that you (or another CAUS) guy have another admirer as of the September 23 rants? You are obviously very popular and I would suggest harnessing the power of your good looks to get people to support you in stopping the tuition raises. I mean, obviously it worked on me. Sincerely, Original Ranter

• @flatmate is judging. Please. I've gone to class in the same shorts and t-shirt I sleep in so many times. Just judge her right back.

• Um, actually, I think you are a little confused. None of the liberals that I know want to dictate what people can eat... And really, FORCING someone to see the heartbeat of the baby they might abort? I do believe that most abortions occur before there IS a heartbeat, and many liberals only support abortions that occur a certain point in the development of the pregnancy. Please don't rail against all liberals because of one rant.

• @ "This is a sad week for you and a sadder week for AU." Good thing they didn't discover Eagle Rants, then we all would have been properly flogged by the press. That guy giving a Republican the courtesy of a reacharound and rimjob won't help our image as sexually depraved maniacs!

• Old homeless men make great therapists.

• Old homeless men make great therapists.

• “'OK, SO, I NEED A CUDDLE BUDDY! YES, I WANT ONE THAT BADLY! PLEASE BE PERTY!' I want a cuddle buddy too :/" ME THREE!

• hey i just met you. and this is crazy. but heres "my" number. dont call me maybe. -ode to creeper man at the club

• just because i said i want to be your friend doesnt mean that i LIKE you. stop being awkward. feel free to lower the biddy shield. im glad we had this talk. -yes i just friendzoned you. you f**king deserve it.

• @‘No, your butt does NOT look good in legging pants. No one’s does.” FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE! :)

• I am voting for Mitt Romney and am proud of it!!

• please do not underestimate the wrath of PBS kids... our deprivation is more powerful than you'll ever know.

• does anyone else love this romance between open mike guy and girl who likes open mike guy? i'm following along...

• @Jeans/T-Shirt Girl, practicality over fashion is attractive also. Would you really want to date someone who spends a ton of money on clothes that they only will wear once?

• @Here is the irony of liberals: no, just stop. Stop trying to have such an opinion of what comes out of a vagina and just worry about getting your dick inside of one, which I'm sure doesn't happen to you too often considering your obviously ludicrous opinions.

• I watched Thor last night. Loki. That is all.There should be a party on the Rainbow Bridge with him and Iron Man and Pepper Pots and Black Widow and Cobie Smolders (oops I mean Cobie Smulders oops I mean Maria Hill) and Marc Ruffalo (oops I mean Bruce Banner oops I mean The Hulk). Jane can come too.

• i'm glad we're finally getting somewhere with you being able to talk to me about things

• ...did anyone else see someone carrying a bow across campus this weekend or...?

• It would be pretty easy for me to create a shitty version of LAL if anyone is interested...

• @roommate judging what you wear: I wear sweatpants every day. I feel sorry for people like your roommate who are to myopic and shallow to care about real problems in the world like war in the middle east or the environment and instead get in a tizzy over sweatpants.

• @“The average person can’t just go through life leeching off their family’s hard earned money.” Lol wow jealous much? I’m not the OP, but your reaction makes you look ridiculous. People with trust funds have feelings too. And it doesn’t matter how much money you have; if certain family members are being screwed over it sucks whether you are rich or poor. Please learn to be a grown up.

• I can't decide whether or not I want to be having casual sex...

• Dear obnoxious people who talk really loudly on the quiet floor at night- you are the reason I try to avoid working here at all costs. Shut the f*** up.

• You are my biggest downfall

• RIP baby panda...

• i had a horny dream about my RA from last year... is it now okay to pursue that?

• I know we're all sick of this by now, but last time, Adrienne Pine is disgusting. After whining that she doesn't want to be "defined" by her choice to breastfeed in class, she's now clamoring for media attention, and going on TV with Katie Couric on Tuesday. Seriously!??!!? When will this woman stop? I have absolutely no patience for hypocrites, and Professor Pine (ridiculous that she's still allowed to hold that title) is the epitome of one. Get over yourself, and get off TV. You're an absolute disgrace.

• Possible side effects of kittens include sneezing, tiny scratches, and erectile dysfunction.

• You've had a tough day at the office, so you come home, make yourself some dinner, smother your kids, pop in a movie, maybe have a drink. It's fun, right? Wrong. Don't smother your kids. [Editor’s Note: The More You Know.]

• To the person whose flatmate judges people for not treating class like a fashion show: this chick needs to get over it. What a rude b*tch! I'll wear what I want, thanks very much, and as long as the clothes are clean and I've showered, you have no right to think anything bad. Some of us have better things to do than spend time putting together outfits so we can look cute for people who don't give a crap. YOU GO GIRL, ROCK THEM SWEATPANTS.

• @"EMMYS TONIGHT ARE GOING TO BE INSANE!" --This is the most emotional I've ever seen anyone get about the Emmys.

• Sometimes I think it's just ironic that everyone on our floor has a cough, then I go take a shower and realize our entire bathroom ceiling is full of mold. After almost two weeks of this, we tried to get AU to do something about it but by now we've basically given up. Yay for asthma or bronchitis or whatever we've all got now.

• Last Saturday night I was driving with some friends and while I was stopped at a stop light a shirtless drunk guy came up to my car and humped it all the way around....my car gets more action than I do. What is my life.

• Pooping is a sport. I made varsity.

• strugglestrugglestruggleVOMstrugglestrugglestruggle ^story of my life

• Accidentally just spoke on the silent floor. Since I'm bound to get eagle ranted about for that, sorry/sorry not sorry.

• I'm really worried about you )': Why do you keep skipping class? I don't want you to fail again.

• @"If I lost my phone, my whole life would cease to exist." What has technology done to us? This is absolutely pathetic.

• Sunday night, around six or six thirty, in TDR. You're a blond who had a "deny everything" shirt under a hogwarts sweatshirt. I also loved the grey checkered/plaid hat you were wearing. I would have said something but you were with your four girlfriends. I apologize for "creeping" but you are so damn pretty. If I muster up the courage, I might say hi next time I see you.

• Loving this potential hook up between the open mic guy and an audience member. Let us know how/if it goes!

• Rock on Red Hot Chili Peppers ranter. Awesome song!!

• Women: Should men always ask you out in person? (i.e., never via text or facebook)

• It makes me uncomfortable how much the bus drivers hit on students

• Hey floor, when its 3 am on weekday night, go to sleep or be quiet. Some people have class the next morning..

• I'm Muslim. I don't support Al Qaeda, I didn't celebrate when the embassy was attacked, and no I'm not sure what country I'm originally from other than AMERICA. Stamp.

• @there's nothing wrong with floorcest: AMEN

• Floorcest = Bad Floorgies = Okay

• @slut-shamer: so long as your sex is mutally consensual and satisfactory for all involved, you can have as much of it as you want. Sex means different things to different people--so long as you are respectful to your partner and their desires, you're doing alright.

• Pro-tip: you can be feminine and a feminist. Love, someone who believes in equality and lip gloss for all.

• Yo Leonard 7 washer/dryers, could you maybe not break for once? I'm 3 for 5 for having to do my laundry on another floor.

• HE SPEAKS!!! even though you did tell me to shut the f*** up, HE SPEAKS!

• People that go to bed at 10 and wake up at 7

• People who contribute to Eagle Rants are nothing but a bunch of horny haterz and bitter, basic biddies.

• god stop laughing.

• Here I sit, lonely hearted. Tried to sh** but only farted.

• Once you go black you never go back.

• Looks like the AUSG Senate is going to be the place to be this year. For the first time, that's probably where all the advocacy will be.

• You know what they say about SG Secretaries: big email list, big d***. Never been more true than with this secretary.

• sig chi preppy guys are hot! and there's a new pledge on my floor- too bad floorcest is frowned upon because he's perfect!

• i don't know why im checking the rants so early. because i ALREADY KNOW THIS EDITOR IS SLACKING, AND THIS IS A POINTLESS VENTURE.

• voulez-vous couche avec moi? ce soir! ;)

• "dont worry westley. i'll probably kill you in the morning."-the dread pirate roberts. ?the only good thing to come from procrastination. ever.

• While I do appreciate the invite, I am very weirded out, I mean you don't really know me...just saying...
