Not quite dead

This week, Jarreau wants to know:

OK, so everyone knows Dead Week isn’t really “dead.” So what should we call it?

Alternate ending

In his previous Question of the Week, Jarreau asked something vaguely to the effect of: who will be the champion of Assassins, and how will the win come about. Or something like that. You can read my roommate Andy’s epic response in the third issue of the Waaahhh! Weekly. My response to the question:

Due to excessive water consumption, Stanford Water shuts off service to all of Stern, to mitigate the problem. Aton is forced to hastily issue Rule Update #307, declaring Tobasco Sauce™ habanero sauce to be a legal substitute for water. However, Stern Dining refuses to serve the chile at Late Night, and the mortality rate at Zapata consequently falls to zero. Aton eventually notices his “typo,” but it is too late: virtually all of Zapata is sent to Vaden following “termination.”

So spend a minute and write an e-mail to your ASSU representative telling them that you want habanero sauce at your dining hall. Pronto!

This space not blank

First floor, thank you for listening to your whiteboard. This is your new question:

In no more than 500 words, explain yourself.

And stop by Jarreau’s room to let him no that he cannot silence the whiteboard by erasing its contents. No, the whiteboard will not be silenced.

(And yes, whoever did this has a strange sense of humor.)

(He/she sure does…)

Stranded on an island

For posterity’s sake, we’re going to digitize various dorm fixtures, starting with the first floor Question of the Week, courtesy (I assume) of Jarreau. So this week’s question:

So here’s the deal… you’re an apprentice under the man upstairs (no, not God… Ilder… upstairs) and you’re writing a play. The scene is someone trapped on an island. Your job is to pick a) the person (from Zapata) and b) one object that your main character is trapped with… It better be funny! And don’t forget to explain your choice.

You can either stop by the whiteboard outside Jarreau’s room on the first floor and try to find some whitespace for your response, or you can post a comment to this entry. (In case you haven’t noticed, if you have an account with LiveJournal or TypeKey, you can now post a comment without having to fill out your name and e-mail address every time.) If you’re on this website’s front page, hit the Comments link below.

Update: Ilder, you might want to take a look at some of these comments… there’s plenty of material for a highly entertaining production here.
