DISPERSE, YE REBELS

May 02, 2011 09:34

It's not a last-week-of-the-semester without a riot. Last night, I was going to bed around 1:00 when I heard the bellowing robot voice of the school alarm system in the distance. I live about half a mile from the center of campus, and it carries well enough that I could just make out: "Crowd... disperse peacefully right now... not comply, police ( Read more... )

A binge of students sounds right, if it's Miskatonic.

An ambition of law students :D

A strut of theater students. A glaze of economists. A vague of theoretical physicists.

Ooh, I especially like a vague of theoretical physicists.

A competition of med students. A greed of business students. A prevarication of ethicists.

An explanation of historians. A swagger of bros. A bound of cheerleaders. A pallor of biochemists.

(I could do this all day)

It's sure to be not as exciting as it sounded during the night; probably a gaggle of loud drunken seniors with a keg pushing each other into the campus pond.

Given current events, it's possible it was political; to which drunken seniors with kegs would be preferable, I think.

If they don't give me a secret handshake and an initiation rite that involves obscure Old Testament references and Egyptian pseudo-history, I will be very put out.

Ave, Hermes!

Ave, Hermes Trismegistus (sp?). Mercury runs round the world and shines on good and ill alike.

I found out about the riot in discussion this morning, and I'm glad to say that it was nothing dire. A bunch of drunks in the courtyard of the party dormitory decided to start a bonfire and burn all their shirts. Then they burned their socks. Then they decided they would burn other people's socks, and started de-socking all the other partiers by force. Then the police showed up, put out the fire, and arrested almost everybody. Life is harsh at Miskatonic University.

(Yep. Trismegistos, if you're being Greek about it.)

. . . That is epic.

It is epic indeed. I went over to see the aftermath, but unfortunately there was nothing left but a lot of discarded red plastic beer cups.
