At Webster University, we not only bounce ideas off each other...we bounce carrots off each other too!

Yes that's right...

Anyway...

THE FIRST DOUBLE HEADER IS WEDNESDAY NIGHT! Get excited! I know I am!!

They will be taking on the Blackburn Beavers at Grant Gymnasium! Women's game is at 6 and the Men follow at 8. The Student Alumni Association will be providing hot apple cider, hot chocolate, and donuts starrting at 5:30 in the Athletic Commons. They will continue to be provided until we run out!! There will be also handouts and other fun stuff!!! I don't know about the rest of you, but if there is a t-shirt you can bet your sweet patooty that I'll be stopping by.

Danceline will be performing at both half times, the cheerleaders will be there, and the WU Crue and DU will be making their first appearance of the season...also, in support of AIDS Week, the cheerleaders will be wearing a red accent...and we encourage you to do the same. Not too much though since it is the same color as Blackburn!!

So get your derrier out of your charier...yeah I said it...get your navy and gold apparel and come out to support the Gorloks!!!!! See you all then!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just gonna park my car on The Quad from now on, is that cool?

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Webster. The one thing that really grinds my gears though on a daily basis is the lack of parking...or parking in close proximity to your building. This is really going to apply to those who commute as opposed to those who live on campus.

Unless you are getting to class E-A-R-L-Y...and when I mean early, I mean before 8:30 AM, or, for your night class, don't even think about going into the UC parking lot. If you are going to be there around 10...your best bet is to head straight to the parking garage. Do not pass go/do not collect $200...though that'd be nice. The main reason I am blogging about this today is because the weather is not exactly what I think of as "pleasant" for walking in. It's cold, it's raining, it's wet, and frankly I just don't wanna. Plus the next basketball game isn't until December 2nd

So, in solution to this problem, I have devised a new game...it is called Invent-a-Spot...park anywhere on Webster's campus you can think of, take a picture, and upload it to Facebook...just as long as you have a parking permit or else the proper authorities will hunt you down and further consequences will be issued. If you have a badass crap-purple-brown colored (or Maroon) that is older than your 18-year-old sister, has rusted paint, and poorly positioned bumper stickers, display it on The Quad for all the campus to see! At the end of the semester, all pictures will be examined and whoever came up with the most creative spot wins!

For the sake of staying out of trouble, this blog is NOT by any means to be taken seriously...it is meant for humor...everyone has a sense of humor...even God...just look at the platypus...

The House of Blue Leaves

The House of Blue Leaves is the third and final show of the semester for Webster's conservatory. The show will run December 2-6 and 9-13 @ 7:30 p.m. for evening performances and 2:00 p.m. for Sunday matinees. The House of Blue Leaves will be at Stage 3.

The play was written by John Guare and set in the early 1960's. To give you an idea of what the play is about. The pope is coming into town, there are nuns, political bombings, a GI is headed towards Vietnam, and a zookeeper is trying to make it big as a songwriter. This show is sure to appeal to all different types of audiences.

The New York Times called it zany and original. It's a comedy. The message of the show is to see how far people will go to reach the American Dream. As always the show is free to students with a valid student ID. Don't miss The House of Blue Leaves, it is sure to be a great show!

Do you really wanna know what a gorlok is?

According to the handy-dandy Webster University Student Handbook and Calendar, the Gorlok is Webster's mascot. It is a mythical creature similar to that of a minotaur (yay Role Models) and has the face of a Saint Bernard, paws of a cheetah, and horns of a buffalo. The name came from two streets in Webster Groves: Gore and Lockwood. The creature first debuted February 9, 1988 which is also a historic day in U.S. history for it was the day yours truly was born. The Gorlok only comes out rarely...only during SOME athletic events that take place in Grant Gym...kind of like the groundhog when it's February 2nd...though the Gorlok does tend to come out a little more than that. Hoo-rah!
