Phone card



I just finished reading Cell by Stephen King in which everyone that uses a cell phone is suddenly turned insane because of a signal transmitted through their cell phones. It wasn't all too long ago that we didn't have cell phones. In fact, that first year in Irish C we had our own handy pocket Irish C phone card with all the dorm room numbers and a cute little shamrock on the front to jazz things up. Those that did have cell phones are noted on the front in my freshman year scrawl. I am not listed on the back with Harmony as this list was printed before my November move in.

Chime in

In my professional blog, I just posted a longwinded rant about ASU, the City of Tempe and alcohol. And Animal House.

An Irish C topic if ever there was one. I'm not even sure I'm on target with all the stuff I said over there, but I feel like my heart's in the right place, at least.

If anybody still cares about Tempe as bad as I still try to, head over there and post some comments. Tell some friends. Talk it up.

Thanks,

Tim

Smoke out with the Dean!

Big thanks to Garret for this classic.

Back in the day, the Honors College was always plastering Center Complex with signs for events such as Lunch With the Dean or Honors Film Lectures. But no event gave Teri Cisneros a flood of e-mails from excited students like Smoke Out with the Dean!

Mad Dawg made the flyers and put them up in all the usual flyer spots, making sure everyone knew this was an official Honors College event.

Rumor has it that the Dean, Teddy D himself, found the flyers funny. I was hoping we'd know for sure when, on Liz's advice, I sent the ex-Dean an invitation to this blog. I guess he was too busy with other "invigorating" undertakings.

Many thanks to Garret for sending me the original Smoke Out with the Dean Word document. I did my best to reproduce the original below.



Attention all Honors Students:

SMOKE OUT WITH THE DEAN!


Join Dean Ted Humphrey and his good friend Mary
Jane for an "“
invigorating" time.

Yes, it's free weed and free Dean this Thursday night
at 7:00 PM in the Best C classroom.

Featuring these fun activities:

    • Touch the Dean'’s Jimmy Dean

    • Who dies first from smoke inhalation?

All this to the groovy tunes of Bob Marley
and Hendrix, what more could you want in an Honors
environment?


RSVP to Teri.Cisneros@asu.edu to reserve your place. Hurry,
seats are limited! Duh!

Bone's onto something

So Kevin's been posting a lot of random old stuff, the stuff that sits dormant on people's hard drives for years and years, all but forgotten. But now that we have a blog, we can share our digital nostalgia with anyone and everyone.

So check out this buried treasure:

You're probably thinking, "Is that a drawing of Bregan getting ready to make out with Josh?"

No! It was the masterpiece of my artistic genius combined with Gavin's technical genius. And thanks to Bondelli's driving-me-to-the-Kinko's-on-Power-Road-in-east-Mesa-instead-of-the-one-on-University-and-Rural genius, I was able to print this bad boy out and turn it in for high marks in Professor Danny's THE 101 class.

Hey, if you've got any retro Irish C digital kitsch, throw it up. I know somebody's got an original "Smoke Out with the Dean" flyer.

Now that I think about it, that really does look like Bregan and Josh ...

I can spout some good BS when battling fratties


Dear Sigma Chi,
I am writing this letter to address a situation that has come to concern myself and other students. Last month, a pledge of Sigma Chi at Arizona State University was involved in a fight in a dorm on campus. The student injured by the Pledge was taken to a hospital due to his injuries. The pledge left the dorm and went into hiding for a few days. The police interrogated a few of the residents of the dorm who had witnessed the incident, and one resident in particular gave a large amount of information to the police about the fight and previous problems with the pledge in the dorm. The resident told the police about instances when the Pledge urinated over balconies into the dorm courtyard and onto clothing left in a female bathroom, his abusive consumption of alcohol and harassment of students, destruction of dorm property including trees, and unauthorized use of students' computers to download pornography. This information, along with the name of the resident that provided it was present on the police report that was later given to the pledge upon his arrest. This is not my concern however. Members of the Sigma Chi fraternity made copies of this police report and have posted them throughout the Sigma Chi house. A member of Sigma Chi told residents of the dorm that the student that gave information to the police whose name is on the report is "f***ed" and that "if he ever goes to a frat party or near the Sigma Chi house, he is going to be dead". I am appalled and disappointed at this action taken by the Epsilon Upsilon chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity. I have met many members of Sigma Chi across Arizona and California, including members from Beta Phi, Zeta Omicron, Zeta Xi, Delta Eta, and Theta Lambda chapters. All of the students I have met from these chapters are excellent people and great examples of Sigma Chi. Sadly, I have not seen the same quality in the members of Epsilon Upsilon. Sigma Chi stands for Friendship, Justice, and Learning, and the response of this chapter to the situation is not justice, or is it gentlemanly conduct. It must not be forgotten that "a Sigma Chi conducts himself as a high minded man and accepts responsibility for himself and his actions". The Pledge should have taken personal responsibility for his actions and the chapter should have accepted that. We also need to remember that "Sigma Chi's do not practice, nor do they condone the practice of, any intensive or abusive behavior towards any individual or group". This targeting of a witness is certainly practicing the practice of abusive behavior towards and individual, and that is not acceptable. I myself am not a member of Sigma Chi, though that may not have been the case had I gone to a different university. If I were to attend UCLA, USD, or even UA, I would have pledged to this wonderful fraternity. Unfortunately the attitudes and actions of the members of Epsilon Upsilon chapter do not appear to reflect those same principals that I see in the others. A great organization was formed at Miami University in 1855, and many great men have been molded from it, true gentlemen. I am afraid that I cannot feel the same way about Arizona State's chapter. I felt that Sigma Chi should know that here at Arizona State, Sigma Chi does not have the respect that it deserves, and it is because of the attitude and actions of the chapter. It is not a gang, though they treat it that way. They should not live by "thug life" as one pledge put it. Epsilon Upsilon is a disgrace to the embodiment of ideals that Sigma Chi represents. I would like to close this letter with what I believe best describes Sigma Chi, Isaac Jordan's Standard:

A man of good character
A student of fair ability
With ambitious purposes
A congenial disposition
Possessed of good morals
Having a high sense of honor
And a deeps sense of personal responsibility

Thank you for your attention,
Kevin Bondelli
P.S. Had it not been for the poor quality of Epsilon Upsilon, I would have been able to call myself your brother, and it saddens me that this cannot be so.

New Year's 2006


Happy New Year 2006!
The gang's all here for some high caliber meat.....the steak's not bad either.

How happy does Garret look? answer: sooooo happy


Here are some of the hijinx that we got up to this New Year's Eve:
The following participants were involved in the night's activities: Adam, Alana, Sara, Tim, Lewis, Kevin, Geoff, Garret

The night's activities included our traditional dinner at Outback followed by a stroll along Mill Ave at the Tempe Block Party.

Notable appearances were made by: Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers, Blues Traveler, a flask of alcohol, Coors Light van, and Princess Tiara time.



Highlights from the evening: Kevin in a port o potty as the clock struck midnight, only a 30 minute wait at Outback, and front row spots at the Blues Traveler concert (even though their only two good songs are Hook and Runaround)

What Kevin did during the summer between Irish C Years 1 and 2





After a delicious Alma School Chipotle special lunch with Lewis, we started talking about my devious plan of Summer 2001 to separate Yuppies from their money. The concept was to paint abstract expressionist art, describe it in a sickingly pretentious manner, and sell them on ebay. Well, the plan pretty much worked, and by the end of the summer I had made a few hundred bucks and I had paintings in 5 states. Here are a couple of the paintings that sold. Trust me, anyone can do it, and who knows, they might be worth a lot upon my death.

New Year's 2005


In the spirit of having fun here is a photo from New Year's 2005. After our annual tradition of Outback Steakhouse, things kicked into high gear at Tim and Josh's house where a champagne toast heralded in the New Year. I propose a trip to Vegas this year to ring in 2006 in style. Post your thoughts on this suggestion....cause as you know what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

Fun and games activity time

Hi, everybody! If you're as bored as I am, you'll enjoy this fun activity. With the help of the Internet Anagram Server, I found out that you can spell some sick stuff by rearranging the letters in the names of people who used to live in Irish, and you wouldn't believe how many people's names can be rearranged to spell anal. Have fun trying to figure out who's who.

anal air fib

her slut job

a fun anal rot

I tag men

a crib entry

he mad ass

I, greater dick

goof beefing

on her fine sin

paw deli runs

a skier belched

Joe often honk dad

evil oink blend

anal wang era

Have you solved them all? Congratulations on your newfound awesomeness! Don't ruin it for everybody by posting the answers, but feel free to post sick anagrams of your own!

Halloween 2005


Big ups to the Roodmeister for posting these Halloween photos on his Mac homepage. Click here to see some Irish C alums in their most revealing costumes yet.

Halloween '04

A few of us got together last Halloween, and some Irish C alums pu together the best set of theme costumes I've ever seen.




It was a high-steaks evening for Garret.




Sara went as Gretchen from "Mean Girls," and, believe it or not, one guy actually recognized that Alana was supposed to be Paris Hilton.

I spent a bunch of money to have retractable adamantium claws grafted to my unbreakable skeleton.

Pac Man (Geoff) devours one of those pesky ghosts (Lewis).

All four ghost costumes, which were worn by Lewis, Adam, John Winkler and Kevin (pictured) were fully reversible. Ghosts change color when Pac Man eats a power pellet.

Surprise! It's Mad Dawg!



Rood, as Hef, poses with Catwoman (Garret's little sister Lindsay).


The hot referee was not happy we made her pose with Hef. After the party, Lewis was about five minutes away from nailing this chick when Geoff flipped out and made him leave her apartment. Illegal block in the cock, Mad Dawg, fifteen yards, automatic first down!

Tonight's another Halloween party. Hopefully more costumes soon. And maybe some more classics. If anybody else has pix, let's see 'em!

Big Tips

One of the great things about living in Irish C was that you could always turn to somebody for advice. Whether you needed somebody to critique a Human Event essay, answer some questions about the opposite sex or expound upon the significance of McDonaldland characters (and their food counterparts and similarities to H.R. Puffinstuff), Irish C was busting with geniuses ready to close their textbooks (or, more likely, to put down their N64 controllers) and help you out.

In the spirit of that, I'm using this blog to compile some advice for a fellow Irish C-er.

Due to the sensitive nature of the subject, I can't name this guy by name, so here are some hints as to who he is:

  • His nicknames included "the whiney bitch" and "Junior Mint."
  • He once drank an entire red cup of Parrot Bay and blew $350 at Dream Palace Cabaret.
  • He really tried his damnedest to be everybody's best friend and was a pretty damn good friend to all of us.
  • His name rhymes with "Madam Mess."

The weekend before Halloween, this guy's got a special lady coming to visit him. As we are all possessed of the sagest of sage advice, we should use the comment section of this post to give our main man some tips on how to make the weekend unforgettable (and seal the freakin' deal so as not to wind up like Steve Carrell's character in this summer's blockbuster hit comedy).

In your comments, please remember that our main man will probably be attending costume parties that weekend, and he lives in a house with a three gross dudes (no offense, gross dudes).

So let the advice pour fourth like a warm maple syrup. You know he'd do the same for you if you needed help.

For Those About To Rock

There was a party at Lindsey and Darcy's house last year, and a bunch of us decided to rock out as hard as we could. Can you determine which one of us rocked the hardest?
