Some
Quotes to Fill Up Space and (Maybe) Inspire or Entertain You
“Because no battle is ever won he said.
They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and
despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.”
- William Faulkner
“Being funny
should be an incidental byproduct of trying to get to something truthful, not a
destination in itself.”
- Alain de
Botton
“Discovered by
the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which, of course, in German means
a whale’s vagina.”
- Ron Burgundy
Later Nado
Yesterday, the
WoPo team, led by Dick Daly and the boys, traveled cross town to their rivals,
CoroNERDo. An hour later, they finished defecating on Nado, emerging victorious
over those peasant peninsulites. Be sure to congratulate any guys walking
around campus flexing and carrying multiple cartons of milk.
You Know What Really Grinds My Gears…
When it’s your
birthday and someone brings you balloons and you tie those balloons to your
backpack and walk around with those ballooons all day. There is no need to
advertise your birthday to the world in the hope that the people who didn’t
know that it was your birthday (and consequently don’t care about you) will say
those two special words to you.
TENNIS
Yesterday,
Girl’s Varsity Tennis out-tennised La Jolla Country Day on a country day in La
Jolla. Shouts out to Ali and Ari G, Tugboat Sheila, Kelly Shaf-dog, and the
rest of the crew.

Technology
Strikes
By: Emily Gao
With all
the benefits that the digital age has brought upon, it’s easy to overlook the
detrimental aspects. While technology has become an antidote to boredom
and distance, it is also silently hurting our relationships.
My problem? People are constantly
checking their phones. This sick obsession with our cell phones needs to stop.
What business do you have to attend to right this instant? Is Barack calling
you about the government shutdown? I didn’t think so. Phone checking can easily
be taken as a rude gesture. When I make plans with a friend to hang out, I
expect them to actually hang out with me. Not be on their phones. You came to
talk and be with me right? What is this. Instagram/Facebook notifications/Candy
Crush is not more important than me.
Technology is truly separating
us. I believe that laptops and keyboards have trapped us into our own little
realms and have successfully desensitized us to what goes on in real life.
It has become the space bar that adds distance in our everyday
lives. IPhones also add an emphasis on ourselves. What do selfies, Facebook
profile pages and tumblrs have in common? They all act like self-dedicated
shrines.
Next time you’re out with
friends, trying this fun little game: Place phones in the center of the
restaurant table. Whoever checks their phone first loses! This chump has to pay
for the meal or buy dessert.
Effects of the Infamous Government Shutdown (17th
Edition)
-Leo Li
1) Health and Human Services:
The Department will be “unable to
support the annual seasonal influenza program, outbreak detection and linking
across state boundaries using genetic and molecular analysis, continuous
updating of disease treatment and prevention recommendations.”
2) KKK Activities (Yes, that
KKK): On Tuesday a KKK Rally at
Gettysburg National Park was canceled, because government shutdown closed the
Park, and others, across the country.
3) Food: The FDA announced on
Tuesday that normal services of food inspection, enforcement, etc. will cut
back, and at times stop completely.
4) Your Privacy: If you try
to go on nasa.gov, you’ll be notified that NASA has gone what Anonymous has
called “tango down.” But don’t worry; if you drop an ‘a’ from ‘nasa,’ nsa.gov
is still up and operational.
5) The Department of
Agriculture: is DOWN. For its mysterious and Bond-like backup plan, head over
to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/contingency-plans to learn more on how
departments you don’t care about are dealing with the shutdown.
6) Congress: They still get
paid whatever sum they get paid ($174,000).
7) The Prez: His golf course
stays open. Camp David too.
