Subway Photos to Make You Giggle

Thank you Bill Sullivan Works for these beautiful photos. I don’t think you could have caught the drudgery of the subway any better:

Remember When…? Retro Junk

sprinkle_spangles.jpgFound a simply AMAZING website today called Retro Junk. Basically, this site showcases the movie trailers, commercials, and other bits of nostalgia that my generation (including the 70s, 80s, and 90s) all knew as kids.

A few of my favorites are the (now politically incorrect) cereal commercials, and my favorite cartoons from the 90s.

Here are Sprinkle Spangles… an extreme example of how the obesity epidemic has taken over the lives of so many children. Small bowl? No problem for the Sprinkle Genie!

Haha, another hilarious set of picks are the Pizza Hut: Pizza Head commercials from the 90s. There’s a great “Star Wars” version right here.

And you just can’t forget the awesome TV cartoons of the 90s: Duck Tales anyone?

Stop on by Retro Junk and see what you can dig up from your childhood!

There’s always room for war protesting!

Ahhh, gotta love the lefties taking advantage of the situation once again (Ahmadinejad = Bad, Bush = Worse) to push their leftist agenda. Here’s a shot from the protest at Teacher’s College yesterday on campus due to a hate crime in which a noose was placed on a black faculty-member’s door.

Thanks Spec.

Barnard College has big subs!

subsandwich.jpgDuring the fall semester, students help to construct–and then quickly devour–a mile-long sandwich known as THE BIG SUB. [Wikipedia]

There’s a college on a hilltop,
That’s very dear to me
And a certain group of women
With ties of camaraderie

So we’ll sing to dear old Barnard
And loyal be and true
As we show to coming classes
How we love to EAT REALLY BIG SUBS.

The Barnard song actually finishes with “How we love the white and blue.” Then it repeats. It’s very nice and sweet. But not nearly as sweet as our mile long sub.

Yes, I must admit that the women here at my beloved school sure know how to eat. So much, in fact, that nearly the entire school joins in on the ritual of spanning this sub all the way from our quad, down the campus, past the gates, and into our mouths.

I haven’t experienced this fantastic phenomena yet as I’m a first year… but, I can tell you this much: I couldn’t be more proud of my dining service people. You guys are the greatest!

Enjoy the photo at the top right. It’s some strange illustration I found while Google-imaging “largest sub sandwich in the world.”

Always one to laugh, I'm the girl you'll see giggling in the back over a silly word or joke while the world passes right by her. Although I enjoy the serious side of life (politics, world news and what makes the world go 'round), I love to be creative through humor, fashion, dance and design.
