Pre-Frosh Back Again

[Section A]

Yeah...now I didn't actually throw the Swedish fish, so I don't think you're a jerk for saying that :-D

However, I'm pretty sure they had something to do with the big Swede on our squad. And perhaps it worked, since Doug scored his ONLY career goal against Harvard that very night.

In case you're wondering, and I'm sure you're all not, in the 13 career games that Doug played against Harvard, he had 1 goal and 4 assists for 5 points.

Vesce, by the way, has already surpassed that total, as he has six career points against the Crimson. Not quite like Paolini's 17 though (including at least one in EVERY game he every played against Harvard - remarkable).

Damn it. I am NOT putting a lobster near my crotch.

Then stay away from HumEc'ies.

Kidding, kidding, ouch, quit it, sorry..!

I thought a shark was a mammal, not a fish (and please tell me the baby shark was already an ex-parrot, even if it wasn't.)

Freshmen ::rolleyes::  :-D

I think you are confused... Dolphins=mammal, Sharks (no bone skeleton... all cartilage, have gills) = kind of fish.

[Jeff Hopkins \'82]

I want to know how a freshman can AFFORD lobster?

BTW, is a lobster red or crimson?  ::nut::

Well, a raw lobster is dark green IIRC.

[gtsully]

Someone threw a lobster at the Harvard game last year, didn't they?  Or was it this year? ::help::

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure it was the year before, because it was the game where I was getting an especially large amount of shit for wearing my Patriots hat (it was Super Bowl weekend) from members of the Faithful who took the fact that I'm from Boston to mean that I'm a Harvard fan. ::yark::

I clearly remember a lobster being tossed after the game was over, though, which I thought was hysterical.  It was already cooked, so it was bright red.

[Greg Berge]

I've seen cooked lobsters thrown onto the Lynah ice, and it aint pretty -- the shells fragment into a zillion pieces and you can hear the rink staff cursing out the students as they sweep it up.

I think I'm mixing up "Jaws" with "Kirk goes back in time and saves the whales".  Nuclear wessels.

[jtwcornell91]

Maybe you're also confused by the fact that "dolphin" is the name of both a fish and a marine mammal?

[getred]

Well, I can attest that at least one lobster hit the ice during Fish & Fowl this year.  (Greg, in my experience, using a "shot put" style -- rather than a high, arking throw -- avoids shell breakage and gives you a nice spinning finish on the ice.)

Search the archives for "fish schlong" and you'll get all the info you need.

:-P

[Tao Tan \'07]

How'd they get that lobster in? How carefully do they pat you down and where?

[Tao Tan \'07]

You can't make a "lobster shlong". You just can't.

During the first intermission of the UNH game, ESPN aired a bit where the Cornell team had a video camera for their trip to Buffalo.  One of the parts they aired was where the team was at dinner and they were relating a fish-tossing story where they saw a student swing a swordfish over his head before slinging across the ice.  At least that's what I think they said.

I believe he said it was a "hammerhead shark."  I would have to question the truth of that story, however.  While I've seen some rather large fish thrown on the ice (inlcuding a nice long eel-type thing that one guy smuggled in around his waist like a belt), I think I would remember a hammherhead shark.
