With A Name Like Chomsky, It Has To Be Good

Sep 30, 2005 16:56

So yesterday i hop on the activities schedule for the day and find ouut that speaking that night in Pearson 104 was the man, the myth, the Chomster, Sir Chompalot, Chomskita, the Chomskinator, Noam Chomsky.

"Do you want me to make you hurt?" - my physics teacher

Naturally I had to go see him before he died or was killed. The last lectre i had gone to here, during my open house (about the female orgasm), had completely filled up and i only had a seat by virtue of the fact that my "chaperones" decided to go a half hour early. I decided to arrive as early this time.

"Newton's Balls" - a physics handout's title

So, i arrive at the lecture halla full half-hour before the start of the event to find...the huge room is completely packed.

Apparently Noam Chomsky is much more interesting than the female orgasm.

"Act your age Joanna!" - Daniel Carrington

I had to stand on the stairs/aisle, and i was one of the lucky ones. The line for Chomsky was out the door. people sat everywhere, on each other, behind him, spiderman was hanging from the ceiling, as he was speaking.

"If i could be anyone, i'd be FDR and take back the New Deal" - Ann Coulter, paraphrased

It was an enthralling two and a half hours. Best history lesson i've had in a couple years. Not a heckler in the crowd too, which amazed me. The campus republicans must have taken the day off or something.

"Alright, while we are taking back things, i'd be Hitler and take back the Holocaust" - Al Franken's retort, paraphrased

The moral of this story is that Sagat is a cheap bastard.

"CHAIN FIRGGIN' CHOMP!" - Various OM related peoples
