At Long Last

Wow, I posted a new set of pictures about two weeks ago but due to random craziness (Seriously, literal craziness.) and a wonky computer, I haven’t gotten around to writing about them until now! This set covers most of September and some of October, as our heroes came to terms with being third year university students, with varying degrees of success. Some of us found happiness, some of us found beer. And some of us just left, never to return. And I am only going to be cryptic about that last one.

For those of you who haven’t seen the pictures (or think my comments are hilarious!), here are some highlights:

• What’s your favourite thing about Rory O’Sullivan? Mine is his forehead. And his car. And numerous other things.
• There’s a lot of toast in these pictures. (If I were Caroline Gaston I’d make a Red Dwarf reference right about here.)
• We had a party at Erin Balser’s new apartment. It ended with everyone dancing to Rory’s CD collection. I showed off my moves, most of which involve a lot of weird shoulder rolling and jumping up and down. After this I went to Halifax’s hot night spot The Palace. I spent six dollars and was frisked. And it wasn’t the good kind of frisking, either.
• You may look at this picture and think it’s just a playful gesture of friendship. In fact, Mike was trying to make Kristine submit using “The Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase’s patented sleeperhold.
• I’m Chandler. No one gets to argue this.
• This is fucking brilliant.
• Ladies and Gentlemen, Erin Balser. Once again, on the floor.
• The gang from Walnut Street and the gang for Chestnut Street (us) have an uneasy friendship going. I expect it to erupt into an all-out gangwar (but with dancing — a la West Side Story) in the coming months. I totally think we can take them, too.
• Comic books and talking about comic books make up a surprisingly large part of our time this year. You’d think a group of guys who have had twenty-minute conversations about the members of the Green Lantern Corps would have trouble meeting women. And you’d be right. God dammit.
• This is art.
• Possible research paper thesis:Theodore Tugboat is better than Thomas the Tank Engine because Thomas the Tank Engine is confined to a rail whereas Theodore can go anywhere the hell he wants, provided it’s not on land because he’s a boat. And, also, Theodore didn’t hang with Ringo Starr as much.
• In conclusion, here is a picture of Rory O’Sullivan in a rare moment of relaxation. There must have been something about Roger Van Koughett’s apartment that made him feel comfortable. Maybe it was the paintings on the wall. Or the fact that the apartment was modelled after the sleeping quarters astronauts use on space shuttles. True story.

And that concludes (finally) our look at the pictures of September. Stay tuned to this website because, in a scant few days, I’ll have pictures (with comments) from our amazing Halloween adventure! And, parents beware, this update may be a little PG-13!

Saucily,
Matt
