Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[wxman1]

Saw a family friend complain on Facebook about not having any help from staff or student helpers when moving their daughter in at UNI today. Apparently with their two older kids who went to private schools they didn't have to carry anything as helpers carried everything. My comment was pretty much "not like there is a tens of thousands students difference or anything".

The end zones look good, but now the press box and seat conditions really stand out. I'm not going to sit here and single anyone out for donations to improve the facilities, however the Boxster Press Lounge at Jack Trice Stadium has a nice ring to it.

The Boxster RTT Lounge sounds better

I always suspected that's what all girl dorms were like when there was no men. Girls hanging around naked or in silky lingerie while having pillow fights and showering together frequently.

Anybody else picture them this way?

Silky lingerie no. Separate shower stalls, but large communal mirror w/shelf & outlets for plugging in hairdryers & curling irons.
Pillow fights, yes. Naked girls in halls or rooms occasionally, but usually skivvies & flipflops. Hence the need to have boys escorted onto the floor, and loudly announced.

TBH - I kinda liked it being girls only. You could relax and not worry about how you looked 24/7. Apparently we were more concerned with impressing the boys back then (to hear modern co-eds tell it).

Besides, I came from an all-girl family except for Daddy - so all girls was like an extension of home.

I knew this girl on Henderson who used to escort boys to the floor and then loudly announce their names.

She was nice.

The bathrooms had to have been pretty big to accommodate the hair dryers of the day.

We also had poker parties, before your imagination gets too far ahead of reality...

Yeah...we had handheld dryers by then...

Is she now mrs Cooler, or did I miss a euphemism there?

...WITH cigars...because you could smoke in your rooms back then if your roommate didn't object.

My wife did live on Henderson, but there was a girl that was a couple doors down from her that did a very enthusiastic "roll call" from time to time.

We kept tabs of all of the various names we'd heard over a semester. Any time we'd hear one of the names mentioned at food service, we'd wonder if he was the flavor of the week.

Too late. My imagination is way ahead of reality already. I prefer it that way.

People tend to be pretty explosive towards me in those threads.

I didn't know you and Cooler knew each other like that.

The dorm lunch halls served primordial soup as their main entree.

Lawman had a neighbor who routinely walked around the floor buck naked. Better his wing than mine. He was chasing a guy one time (in tighty whiteys) and continued outside. Ended up tackling the guy on the lawn of oak knoll.

I think we just learned cooler is DH.
