WINNIFRED SAYS HELLO!

having a camera built into your computer comes in handy when...

sammy c. hawk wanders aimlessly through the hawks nest while you are having lunch

your boyfriend turns into an anime cartoon

your boyfriend turns into a pirate

your friend receives a ball in the mail with no wrapping and your friends start playing with it in the student center

RIP The Tank

Let me preface this story by saying this was not my fault

one night last week i walked out of my bathroom after brushing my teeth and was about to go get in bed when i noticed a burnt smell. my roommates cook a lot so i figured one of them had just burned something earlier and the smell was still lingering, so i didn't think much of it and got in bed. about 10 minutes later, ashley fervently knocked on my door and came in and asked me if i had lit a candle somewhere and forgotten about it. i told her no and got out of bed to help my roommates track down the source of the smell after learning that neither of them had cooked that night. we trace the smell to the kitchen and finally the dishwasher. when we opened it, steam came pouring out and the smell became overwhelming so we quickly shut it so as not to set off the fire alarm. though i was pretty sure i had seen the source of the problem. we made sure the dishwasher was completely turned off and decided to let everything inside cool until morning. in the morning i was up early for a school visit and opened the dishwasher again and saw that it was just as i had suspected. my nalgene bottle's plastic lid was unscrewed and had fallen below the bottom rack against the heater. however i did not realize the extent of the situation. one of the metal bars at the bottom of the dishwasher had melted through it and then the lid melted back around on the other side causing it to be like a bead completely sealed around the bar. i had to snap two melted pieces apart and bend it back in order to get it off.

*i did not load the dishwasher thank you very much

nathan conducts trains in his spare time

at the end of the kazoo show the kazoobie guy made a blanket apology to those who would be driving home children with their kazoos and to what the car ride would most likely be like. he forgot to apologize to those who would be driving home 20-somethings with their new kazoos.
