Yes folks, it's time for yet another installment of "Crazy Shit Shows Up In My School Email." I thought this one had particularly high entertainment value, if not much in the way of grammar.

Now, the context as usual: People on this list get obsessive over the craziest shit. In this case, there's a new lamppost that's sprung up in the middle of campus, and people are getting cranky about it because it's "ugly." This is the sort of thing they care about.

So this comes at the end of a long, INSANELY long train of emails about whether or not the light really makes people safer and whether it is offensive (hah! knew that word would come up) and needs to be taken down.


lights suck.
i say fuck the light too.
in fact, fuck all the lights
lets bust up ALL the lights.
let pitzer lie in darkness
the vandalism that the light tries to stop wont really matter when its too dark to see it.
i say we smash the sun too
or at least block it out over pitzer
slowly we will evolve into a race of super students who can see in the dark.
we'll wear light dimming goggles like that guy Riddick in pitch black for a while, you know, when we have to go out into the sun and whatnot

but eventually when we've fully evolved into a race of hideous night vision mole students we can create something that will block out the sun and the whole world will be cast into darkness...

and only the students of pitzer will be able to see

then our horrible reign of darkness and terror will begin
our translucent skin will be the last thing the old race of humans will see before they are crushed under our black machines;

horrified looks upon there faces as they fire blindly into the dark

smash the lights, pitzer college
bring this lightocracy down to its knees
and in the endless darkness,
pitzer college, we will all be mutant kings
and the story of the feeble humans and their pathetic light will be spoken of only in legend.





I wonder if this was the same guy who was trying to make a bong out of a wine bottle.

I read that as tongue in cheek sarcasm about the people griping about that lamppost.

Oh, probably. But one can never be sure.

Whoever wrote that is officially Hawkeye-certified awesome. Ask him out.

Well, yes, but for the lack of proper punctuation, grammar and spelling. Plus he's probably creepy, seeing as he's on the pitzer ml and all.

Maybe he was just imitating the...visual style that college students seem to think constitutes poetry.

Or he could be like trowacko, who doesn't use standard spelling, but is still perfectly coherant and expressive because she does it consistantly and deliberately.

Actually, I think there are too many reasons why people type with non-standard grammer, spelling, or punctuation to assume that they're stupid, lazy, or uneducated. I know some pretty smart people who can't or don't bother to express themselves well on paper; most of them make up for it in person.

The simplest explanation is not necessarily that they're stupid.
