Eagle Rants: March 5, 2013

•either the editor's reminders are on the fritz or the editor either is busy or hasn't yet determined the best time to post the rants [Editor's Note: Neither. I was busy getting ready to posting the Sandra Fluke announcement around 7 p.m. yesterday and finishing up an interview. And memory serves, I said "around" 7 p.m. My apologies for the inconvenience.]

•what happened to STOODEL??? i thrived on that damn page

•@""could go for a rimjob right about now" *Brings out drum set* Badum Tish...Rimshot....*Drops mic. Hehehe...humor.

•@""Is mayonnaise an instrument?" Duh. duh duh duh duh do. Duh duh duh duh dooooooooooo. The winner takes all / It's the thrill of one more kill/ The LAST ONE TO FAAAAALLL/ Will never sacrifice their will. AND IT'S SWEEEEEEEEET SWEEEEEEET SWEEEEEEET VICTORY YEEEEUAHAHAHHHH.

•@Is mayonnaise an instrument?...this just made my day. I love Patrick! Btw, horseradish is not an instrument either.

•tdr..i thought i hated you before but after that food poisoning you gave me last night, boy do i have a couple words for you

•@"So AEPhi stole Chi O's tradition of doing big/little revelation at the Lincoln Memorial? That's really desperate and obnoxious." ....Chi O doesn't do rev at the Lincoln Memorial, and who curs anyways?

•@Are fraternities school-sponsored? PLEASE tell me my tuition dollars are not going to white patriarchal supremacists...this is most likely written by someone in a fraternity.

•I don't think I've seen a group of supposedly heterosexual men touch each other more than those EI douches who infest the library.

•My roommate is loud and squeaky into the wee hours of the morning despite the walls of our apartment being paper thin. I'm talking loud laughter and excited squeaky voice at 2:30am. But I hate confrontation so I'll never say anything to her about it. Probably. I just needed to vent.

•@•Ok so if a guy comes on too strong he's a creep, if he likes you but is shy about it he's a pussy, what is the right combination?' Middle ground. Be upfront, make your interests known, then let her decide how she feels. Don't pressure her, but don't disappear. (You can keep talking to her while she's figuring it out, but again, no pressure).

•@ ""Just deal with it and don't stare at the girl's ass." Yes, women wear very low cut tops to NOT show off their breasts, and wear skin tight pants so NOBODY can see what their bodies look like. RIIIGHT.' Girls may wear revealing clothes, but if it's off-putting, DON'T LOOK. Or do you really have so little willpower not to stare?

•@" Nudists probably think they are comfortable too" nudists are comfortable man! they r living the dream in a safe space. you need to ~chill~ about leggings cuz no one's policing yr wardrobe policies so how about you just forget about it and have a pizza or something.' THANK YOU

•@Nothing is more frustrating than getting comfy in the library and then realizing there's no plug near you.' worst. thing. ever.

•Look ma! No friends!

•Sandra Fluke? Really, AU? Ugh.

•I'm convinced that my roommate doesn't know what it means to be quiet.

•To everyone that posts Doctor Who/Supernatural references: YOU ARE AWESOME

•@"Saving people. Hunting things. The family business." I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition. Hey, Ass-Butt!

•I'm surprised the guy on my floor doesn't have gingivitis since after he's done brushing his teeth in the morning he leaves it on the bathroom sink for hours, seriously one day someone is going to throw in the garbage because you were too lazy and disgusting to take it back to your room

•Everything in the world is about sex except sex.

•Oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

•Where did all the good girls go?

•The classic lady. Is that make and model discontinued?

•Yo, how come my taint rant didn't get posted?!11? [Editor's Note: Please see our Comments and Rants Policy.

•@"FYI, the 'classic woman' never existed" You are living in a liberal bubble. Look around and realize not everyone is a feminazi

•"@If there's the "classic" woman, what would the "classic" man be? I'd rather be "classy" than "classic".

•"@ feminist" This just made my day, thank you for calling me a feminist, I can now sleep well. <3___<3 P.S. NO.

•@"If there's the "classic" woman, what would the "classic" man be?" Holds the door open for ALL women regardless of whether or not they are pretty. Intelligent and outspoken. Caring. Well-dressed.

•@"@ feminist. oh yes there is a classic woman. they have been oppressed by feminists. Classic woman group should be created on campus." AMEN!

•@"Ok so if a guy comes on too strong he's a creep, if he likes you but is shy about it he's a pussy, what is the right combination?" Start the conversation, but be tuned in to whether or not the girl seems interested. You only come off as a creep if you can't take a hint.

•@"I probably could bring four severed feet on a necklace and girls still wouldn't look up from their Iphone. So conversations are definitely out of the question." Just make a passing comment right after class, like what you thought of the test or your impression of the professor. That leads to conversation like where you are going over spring break, and she doesn't have time to pull out her phone :)

•@"nudists are comfortable man!" That was beautiful A+

•I think the real question us singleladies should be asking is which men at this school like Doctor Who. 'Cos I'd get with that.

•if you don't wear leggings I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but being restricted by tightass jeans ain't one

•I heard a drug deal go down on campus last night. Well that was awkward. . .

•@"I probably could bring four severed feet on a necklace and girls still wouldn't look up from their Iphone." you are really not making yourself sound appealing.

•Anyone else weirded out by that lawyer who advertises on NBC4 who looks like William Shatner?

•When a man goes and interviews for a job he is expected to wear a suit and a tie. If you want to act differently and think that you're "blowin' the minds of the squares" or whatever, you're free to try. The people you are talking to are free to immediately dismiss you as a prospective employee. At an event like a job fair, the people who are running it are free to prevent you from entering with your unprofessional attire. Stop complaining.

•i want to kill my neighbor. girl PLEASE stop singing and playing your white girl music at 9am.

•I have a confession to make. I submit every single eagle rant except for maybe one or two a day. I'm basically having ten different conversations with myself. It's just something to do when I'm bored. If you're the one or two people other than me who is submitting these things, well, then, hello, I guess. How are you?

•Not everyone has an iphone. Rude.

•I may have slept with my professor for a good grade on my midterm...

•What happened to the "Top Ten Reasons I'm Glad I Have POTS" column? The Eagle, innovative student journalism that it is, featured that on the front page for about a year and a half. Why'd you take it off? [Editor's Note: I don't even remember what that is. If you have an idea for a column you want to write, please email editor@theeagleonline.com.]

•Hey Crush #1, you better step it up, because Crush#2 is making his moves.

•Can anyone give me a recommendation for a nice but not too ritzy place to eat in dupont circle? [Editor's Note: If "nice" you mean delicious and maybe a little pricy, DGS Delicatessen just opened in Dupont. Absolutely phenomenal food in a really comfortable atmosphere.]

•"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." ― Coco Chanel
