A True Townie and a Bus Ride

So us townies had finally driven ya'll outta town last night and we're walkin' to Ruloff's (bucknahalf drinks? damn straight i'm walking there) and who do i see but an old semi-acquaintance from high school, yessir it was veritable i-high reunion, only i don't really know this guy's name, i think it's jon, but i always just called him Ghengis Quad. He was the leader of the kids who stayed outside all day in the Quad instead of going to class and hit each other with sticks (did your schools have these guys?). Anywho, he was walkin away from some c-town porch with an office chair in his arms, kinda suspicious, but hey, maybe he's part of a late night moving crew. Well, he gets to the top of Cook street (really steep one running down from College), mounts the office chair and turns back to us.
"You think this is a good idea?" he says,
My companions were speechless, i reassured him.
ZOOOOOM!! CRASH!!
The thing's wheel came off pretty fast, he was probably lucky it crashed when it did, but then again, he probably has a different concept of 'luck' than i. I kept waiting for his friends to come from around the corner and join in watching his descent, but they never did, and that is why he is a true townie, a man who spends his free time stealing office chairs and riding them down steep, icy roads in the middle of the night, completely alone. Here's to you Ghengis Quad.

Part 2 of a very townie thanksgiving:
I see all those kids waiting for buses in front of the Schwartz Center or up on North and i've always wondered what those bus rides away from campus are like. Do any of you guys take those to get home? Are they like those crazy high school crew-team bus rides back home from a regatta? Where kids are all rowdy trying to decide what movie to watch and folks givin' and gettin' tugjobs in the back seat? People just walkin' up and down the aisles, passin' around a two liter of Code Red? Man, i loved those bus rides...
