OT: Pres. Lehman speech

[Justin Nachod]

Here's a link to the often talked about speech President Lehman gave in August to the incoming freshmen, which includes the suggestion to sleep out for hockey tickets:

"Seventh, learn about Cornell's special traditions. Sing the alma mater and "Davey," eat far too much ice cream from the Cornell Dairy, sleep out for hockey tickets and try to get the bear to talk. "

Well, personally, *I* try to get the bear to throw candy...:-D

[Q]Well, personally, *I* try to get the bear to throw candy...[/Q]That's assuming the AD will let him throw it.:-(

As long as the bear doesn't show up before 4:45pm, a time that will be strictly enforced, do you really think there will be any problems? ;-)

As long as the bear doesn't toss candy into Section O...unless it's those disgusting orange-wrapped ones I used to bemoaningly receive when trick-or-treating?

[Will]

You mean butterscotch candy?  Butterscotch is good.

[Greg Berge]

I think he means the po-mo version of candy corn, which sucks.

My least favorite Halloween candy was the kind that looks like small brown hockey pucks, with white stuff in the middle.  Oh, and black licorice.  

NECCO wafers were pretty low on the list as well.

Necco wafers are making a comeback.  They can often be found at the TigerMart shops on the Mass Pike.  They are disgusting in a way that I find enjoyable.  The fresher the better.  Necco SkyBars are available at some stores and I only had to try one...ugh::uhoh::

The wafers as any hard candy are great for the endodontists in the crowd.  Suck on sugar and enjoy your tooth decay.

Snickers and chocolate milk got me through half a semester of 8am German classes.  ::nut::
