Our Scary Fall

Wow, is this site EVER under attack from spambots. I’m going to have to do something about that. Until then, whenever you see an ad in the comments section, I want you to avert your eyes and say fourteen Hail Marys. Unless you’re Jeremy, in which case feel free to leave a witty comment or two. They’re great.

I’ve had these pictures for a while now, but once again have failed to post them in a timely manner. I could give you all sorts of great excuses, but they would be made-up excuses and therefore they would be lies and I don’t really think you come to this site for lies, now do you? So instead I will just offer a quick but insincere apology and move forward with the pictures.

This set comprises mostly HALLOWEEN, our third at this fine university. It was a fun filled night of adventure during which we went to this new place called the “Ward Room”. There was drinking, talking, drinking and, by the end, completely transparent sexual innuendo. It was a fun event and, yes, we celebrated on Saturday as to not offend Jesus and other religious deities. Except for the Jewish ones I guess. We probably offended them. Sorry.

Highlights

• Before we get to Halloween, I’d like to point out this picture because it looks so nice and respectable. It’s something I wouldn’t mind seeing in a SEARS catalogue, honestly.
• Shelburnites…Shelburnians…Shelburning men…whichever. Rory and Adam, the best buddies 4ever really don’t spend enough time together. Fortunately, this set of pictures shows both them and the rest of us embarking on what ended up being an incredible NINE hours of drinking. By the end, I had lost contact with my immediate surroundings and spent an hour or two in my own little world rambling about things I’d like to write one day. It was great. You should have been there.
• Also Bryan put Mike in a headlock making me think that maybe that poll we had over the summer, Bryan vs. Mike in a steel cage match, wouldn’t result in the clear Mike victory the readers of this site seemed to think it would. Hopefully one day they’ll fight to the death, thus putting the issue to rest forever.
• This, is Angus Ross. I am told that Angus Ross is the one responsible for the 10 or so pictures of blackness that comprise shots 17-26. Perhaps he simply had his finger over the flash, but I like to think he was making an artistic statement about consumerism and twenty-first century man’s complete lack of passion. But it’s probably the former.
• In a bit of pre-Halloween COOLNESS, Spider-Man visited our house and did amazing, spectacular and sensational things, such as: climbing the wall, sitting on the couch, answering the phone and pointing at the photographer who ruined his secret identity. It was pretty great and I hope he comes back some day.
• Okay, now the bit you’ve been waiting for: Halloween costumes.
• Kristine and Mike went as characters from the awesome movie Wet Hot American Summer. In addition to water bottles filled with booze, and whistles that were NOT blown indoors, Mike also sported extremely short shorts.
• Bryan went as a doctor with a penchant for staring off into space.
• And, I, coming up with an idea at the last minute, went as punk rock
• Rory went as a pole.
• Peter Gorman went as the question “What does bowling mean to you?”
• Roger went as the Crest Whitestrips vampire.
• I have to be honest with you, the rest of the pictures are an odd assortment of pictures from the rest of the night, many taken after the point where I was really aware of what I was taking pictures of. Like this guy, for example. I don’t know who that guy is.
• In closing, why don’t we check in with Mordecai, of the so-long-ago ‘Team Mordecai’. He once again stands as proof that, if nothing else, FYP gives you really long hair for some reason.
• Hey, look at that moon

The rest of the pictures are here. Enjoy!
