    Today we all wore LBCC shirts that didn’t exactly match. “Next year, we should call ourselves the ‘otterpops,’” joked one club member. “Our theme this year is ‘as cheap as possible,’” said another.

    Part 1: Discussions we had while traveling up to Seattle. – What is the difference between the terms “cylindrical” and “tubular?” – Have people done scientific research to figure out the most annoying/scary/attention-getting sequence of flashing lights on police cars? – Does the term “guys” refer to only males or is it gender neutral?

    We are leaving I will miss you, tea I will miss you, little frogs I will miss you, my elephant true love I will miss you, random man selling ties on the street. He was excited when I took a picture of him. Then he said, “where are you from?” “America,” I replied. “Show that…
