Let's start things off today with some bad news: This will be my last column printed in The Eagle. No more Rusty Nails. Perhaps if I knew my job was on the line, I wouldn't have written a column that mocked my editors, but what can you do? (Actually, three semesters is a lot out of a college columnist. It's time to pass the torch.)

I take a journalism and ethics class. It's quite good fun. Arguments, raised voices, philosophical debate, the kind of stuff that - when mixed with a Jamba Juice Energy Boost - really gets the blood flowing. I happen to have this class with a couple of other Eagle columnists and editors too, and I learn quite a bit. For example, I have learned about the positive ethical ramifications of ombudsmen.

Did you hear the exciting news? Did you? Maybe you missed it but, apparently, they are trying to change the Constitution. Of course, I am not speaking of the U.S. Constitution - you know, the one where you can't have slaves (good) and foreigners can't run for president (bad). No, AU's General Assembly has decided to make some very important changes - so important that the student body has the opportunity to vote on them after Thanksgiving break. My loins are quivering in anticipation.

It has finally hit me that the Red Sox have actually won the World Series (yay!) and that George Bush actually managed to procure a majority of the American popular vote (boo!). I will be the first to admit that baseball and the election have consumed my life over the past six months, leaving nothing but a fragile shell of a human being left behind. I think it may finally be time to move on and open up a new chapter in my life. One that doesn't involve Republicans.

I have always assumed that a universal truth in college life is that you're always hungry. Most are too broke to eat well and the underclassmen with meal plans get mighty sick of TDR mighty soon. This is where I come in. I am going to do my part to feed the hungry hordes of students. How can I do this, you ask? Well, you see, I have connections in the food industry.

Every now and again, I find it important to reprioritize the things you find important in life. Things like friends, family, schoolwork, and religion are all important, but it helps to figure out which of these things is most important to you. Personally, I reprioritized on Tuesday night, and I decided that the Red Sox were truly the best thing I had going for me.

It's Saturday night, and I can feel the glow of satisfaction warming over me, for I have just witnessed my beloved Boston Red Sox win Game 1 of the World Series. Perhaps some of you on campus have noticed that Massholes can overreact to Boston victories, but today I would rather just sit back and hope for three more wins.

Yellow bracelets that cost a dollar. You never know where the next fad will spring, do you? Indeed, these LIVESTRONG bracelets are this year's bell-bottoms or Starter jacket. Yellow could even be called the new teal. The best part? That dollar goes to charity! Finally, a way to look cool while showing your support for cancer patients. Well, leave it to me to spoil the fun. Someone needs to give LIVESTRONG bracelet wearers a firm rebuke and I am more than happy to volunteer for the post.

I was recently at a kegger attended by hundreds of freshman. I did not do this on purpose. As you should know, I am totally against underage drinking (ha, ha). To make things more fun, it was a theme party. A Catholic school theme. Good times. I actually went to a parochial school, but I never had any experiences with jungle juice or even girls with pigtails. What a shame.

Before I get the ball rolling here, I would just like to thank everyone who has e-mailed me concerning the column. I even enjoy some of the spitefully hateful e-mails because it proves that I struck a nerve. Feedback is almost double what I got last year, and I am truly thankful.

Have you ever shot fish in a barrel? I'll admit that I haven't. The expression "shooting fish in a barrel" implies that it is an incredibly easy recreational activity. One could assume that shooting fish in a barrel is as easy as pie. I wholeheartedly disagree.

My name is Lester Russell Allen the Fourth. I am a CLEG major and a history minor. Maybe you've come across me waiting in line for a 12-pack at Tenley Liquor or have seen me eating a delicious Marketplace burrito by myself between classes in the Tavern. Perhaps you have smelt me on the shuttle after I get out from working behind the Whole Foods seafood counter. If you have smelt me in that post-work state, I apologize. I have another "job" interning (for free, of course) for my local congressman. I am a pretty busy man.
