Coal to UCS for planning to increase its visibility, once again. You should try tableslips­ — oh wait, you got rid of those.

 

Cubic zirconium to UCS Vice President Ben Farber '12 for telling us he's "very excited for UCS this year." So we guess somebody has heard of them.

A farm-fresh diamond to the Ratty for over-throwing tray normativity.

Diamond to Dean of Medicine Edward Wing for claiming that "fundraising is a science." Might we suggest that The Herald would make a great lab rat?

A sympathetic diamond to the "high" undecided vote in Providence. We have trouble deciding between Antonio's and Nice Slice, too.

A nice, tan diamond to Pauly D for coming home and making himself seen in Rhode Island. Maybe he could give some tips to UCS?

Brassy diamonds to the anonymous Angell Street trumpeter who's been entertaining our office with his or her tunes this week. We're big fans of "Tequila" and the theme from Star Wars. Can we yell requests out the window?

Coal to the proposed Block Island wind farm. We heard it blows.

A jealous diamond to Brown and its new website, courtesy of the firm mStoner. We tried to redo our site after a trip across the street to Spats, but it just looked mDrunker.

Coal to this week's debate on marijuana, which ended with a pie in the face. Why can't we all just get along and put pie in our stomachs where it belongs?
