I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break. Although the holiday season is over, I hope that the giving spirit of the holiday season continues into the New Year. I bet you didn’t know, but there are many in our own San Luis Obispo who are in “need.”
I see these people downtown, sometimes covered in old smelly clothing, asking me for money.
Editor’s note: The Bunion is fake news. Period. SAN LUIS OBISPO- Calvin Chester, a 286 pound man with a lumpy labyrinth of extra flesh on the exterior of his body, made a determined resolution to eat more and exercise less in 2007. The overweight Chester brags that he has no family history of obesity, that genetics played no role, and attributes his width mainly to his self-described “gastronomical love affair” with pork products.
First of all, welcome back from break. Hope it was a good one. You still look good as ever, and sure haven’t lost your charm. Glad we got that small talk out of the way, because I want to get straight to this week’s topic with, well, the most literal meaning of “potty humor” that I can.
The start of a new quarter often goes hand in hand with a collective sigh and increase in complaints over book prices. Students check their bags and wait in long lines at El Corral, all the while loathing the fact that they are paying too much. Many students have turned to alternative sellers when buying textbooks to save money.
In recent years, recycling has become an important part in city waste management programs to help protect our earth. Despite the millions of dollars spent by governments and corporations in efforts to increase public awareness of recycling, there remains a lack of general public understanding.
‘Tis the season to be jolly, unless, well, you’re not into all the media-hyped holiday festivities that go on. ‘Tis also the article where I promise that for the rest of the “Guides to Life” I ever write, I will never use the word “’tis” again. So, I might as well live it up, because ’tis article will only happen once, and I would like to continue to use the word as incorrectly as possible.
By next week, you’ll be done with those awful finals, your books will be sold back and you’ll be making your way home for the holidays. You haven’t been back since Thanksgiving, which actually wasn’t that long ago when you think about it.
Now that you think about it, Thanksgiving was actually kind of stressful.
The hookah article (Dec. 6) had little real information and was extremely misleading. The majority of Shisha (tobacco) used in hookah is imported from the Middle East. Their countries of origine often require tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide content to be listed on the package.
It seems that both of the coffee vending machines on campus – in Kennedy Library and The Park – are currently “out of order.” (If there are others, please be so kind as to point me in their direction.)
This is a plea on behalf of us Cal Poly students who crave that oh-so-delicious vending machine coffee, and who can’t afford it at Julian’s.
Over 3,000 miles away from the United States and across the Atlantic Ocean, I find myself far from home this Christmas. However, it’s comforting to know that even in Spain there are some things that different cultures can share. After living in this country for the past three months, I’ve come to love the people here, regardless of their stone-cold faces and their pushy nature.
It’s appalling that Michael Macedo would write an entire letter, based entirely on his own conclusions, completely void of facts and intellectual thought.
As a personal friend of Ryan West I can tell you that there was at least one witness, who stated that Ryan was in fact, not lying on the train tracks passed out, rather he was walking.
