It’s my best talent! We have a Word Template we use to print onto Post-Its that are stuck on a sheet of paper.
How do y’all type on the stickies?
Do twins have telepathy?
Identical twins often seem to know what the other is thinking, but this is more likely due to a deep, shared history with the other. You could try testing for telepathy by asking one twin a question then seeing if the other twin answers correctly. A correct answer might not prove the existence of telepathy, but it would definitely be a cool trick.
How can I advocate for the return of original M&Ms to campus vending machines?
I’d send plea to the vending company (service@abvendingco.com). Perhaps they can alleviate your plight.
Why do we have to graduate?!
What is the record for deepest hole ever dug? Because I think my friend is trying to break it right now.
The Kola Superdeep Borehole, at 7 1/ miles (!!!) still has the record, as far as I know – see this article on the history of very deep holes: bit.ly/VeryDeepHoles. That’s going to be a challenge for your friend to exceed. If you are not speaking of literal holes, though, perhaps suggest he talk to his advisor or Counseling Services, as appropriate?
What are your top 5 walls of all time (in order if possible)?
1. The Great Wall of China. 2. Hadrian’s Wall. 3. John Lennon Wall in Prague bit.ly/bc-lennon-wall. 4. Ishtar Gate, formerly of Babylon bit.ly/bc-ishtar 5. My friend who stands in the entrance at the McMullen Art Museum on campus. bit.ly/bc-mcmullen
Have you ever had a plain bagel with Petroleum Jelly?
Since I’m a wall, I don’t eat. Sometimes I get a little envious of people when they talk of delicacies, but in this instance…. nope!
Is it gonna work this time?
The Magic 8 Ball says “Outlook Good.” But she has her good days and bad days, like any of us. Wishing you success this go ’round!
Would you rather flonkie a ronkie or conkie a grundle
I’d rather have hosted a post-it
Who is Ben Thomas?
There are lots. Why not ask him yourself?
I hear that some students want to abolish UGBC. What would they have to do to make that actually happen?
You do know the New England Classic is satire, right? Here’s an article that spells out what the NEC was up to, and how it has played out, along with some possible answers to your question: bit.ly/heights-ugbc.
Aero-What?
Well, there’s the slightly bizarre bubbly chocolate; a much un-beloved former Microsoft design language, and then there’s Aerosmith, which would be my choice, because I don’t want to miss a thing….
Is eating ass just a winter thing?
Straccotto d’asino does seem like a cold weather dish, but there are many other donkey recipes which are probably suitable year-round.
My friend just took a girl I like on a “formal” date. What do I do?
Wish them a hearty congratulations? Or, if you had already made your feelings clear to your friend, challenge them to a duel? (Ohwait, what year is it? I’m sorry, I was channeling an older wall.) You can suffer in silence, you can wish them well, or you can win the heart of your beloved. Those are pretty much the three choices, and they all depend on context. Go watch Gerard Depardieu in Cyrano de Bergerac & have a good cry if you need to. (O’Neill Library Circulation Desk: PQ2635 .O7 C92 2004)
What should my body count be?
Average body counts vary by genre of film, and some series are bloodier than others. There are some useful stats online: http://bit.ly/bc-count
Why is MN the best state?
Is it though….?
Oh dear, roasting isn’t what I’d intended. I was really just going for a mild warming of the cheeks. Nothing wrong with home state spirit! I hear if you’re into bodies of fresh water, MN’s certainly got that going for it. And the highest density of Paul Bunyan statues: bit.ly/mn-bunyan. But a distinct shortage of World Series wins… Now you can consider yourself roasted. (Don’t worry, this is Boston, roasting is a form of affection.)
I am a lizbian
Well, that’s good, because according to Urban Dictionary, “Lizbians are the fun, honest ones.”
Can you recommend any good Croatian poets? In English or the original Croatian, either or! :P
Here’s a good list of contemporary Croatian poets & their published works: bit.ly/croatian-poets. We don’t have much Croatian poetry in BC Libraries, but we do have a bilingual anthology: Love Lyric and Other Poems of the Croatian Renaissance, edited, translated & annotated by John S. Miletich. (O’Neill Library PG 1614.5 .L67 L68 2009)
What is wrong with Jordan Speth’s putting lately? His straight garbage! What would you change w/his stroke?
It doesn’t seem to just be his putting, his entire game has been out of whack this year. If you watch him closely, you’ll sometimes notice he’s not himself – he’s quiet and antsy. At this point, I wouldn’t work on his stroke, I’d work on his confidence and getting that nervous energy out before he settles down to make his putts.
How are we celebrating this week? ps: April 23 is Turkish National Independence and youth day. ps2: I want fireworks!
