Coal to the peeping Tom caught peering into a Hegeman Hall dorm room. We, too, were impressed by the summer dorm renovations.
Cubic zirconium to Kennedy Plaza, which, we reported this week, some citizens are hoping to turn into a "destination unto itself" with more arts and culture events. Concerts are nice, but will anyone want to hear live music after four hours spent trying not to listen to "Mission Impossible 2" on the Greyhound bus's speakers?
A diamond to Florence, Italy, "the cradle of Renaissance" and sister to our own Renaissance City. Does Florence's Renaissance involve pizza/seafood/chicken businesses, too?
Coal to California voters. We'd tell you to go screw yourself, but that's probably not legal anymore.
Cubic zirconium to every recipient of a Herald diamond. You might feel special, but remember - we give those things out the way Brown professors give out A's.
A diamond to James Sturm, a participant in last night's panel discussion on the Jewish influence on comics and director of the Center for Cartoon Studies, for making even our Contemplative Studies Initiative suddenly seem legitimately academic.
Coal to the economy. This week, it was blamed for cuts in state colleges' budgets, cuts in RIPTA services - and perhaps even a drop in early applications to Brown and delays to our construction projects. No wonder the Joukowsky Institute just buried its savings - a one-dollar bill! - in a time capsule under Rhode Island Hall.
A diamond to the student from Greece who attended Sex Power God because he missed the parties in his motherland and hoped the event would "approximate it in some way." What's wrong with Body Chemistry and Thete's '80s Party?
A diamond to the Queer Alliance coordinator who told The Herald that SPG provides a safe space for both hooking up or "just going to play with glowsticks." Or for some people, probably both.
