Animal House UVA Style

Continuing with the theme of scantily clad men: The 2008 Sigma Chi pledges are caught with their pants down (probably not for the first time). One student explains that this "is a pretty traditional bid day picture, doesn’t take too much coercing. I’m very much looking forward to having 16 ‘helpers’ around the house this semester, should be fun."
After laughing about that, I decided to find my brother in the house group shot. Not surprisingly, he's one of the too-cool-for-school fourth-years on the roof:Wahoowa!

Hips Don't Lie

"Some girls have girl hips and some girls have boy hips. She has boy hips ... not good, nothing to anchor on to." -Steph, relaying a conversation with a fellow runner (who shall remain anonymous).

Ouch

Last night's stinger marks the end of my alcohol consumption during marathon training (maybe). The Mayflower's brandy and white creme de menthe cocktail was also a buzz -worthy way to baffle a few friends. I received the following email this morning: "hope you are well after you 'stinger' - not sure what you do with a missile but..."

P.S. Happy Birthday Beth! x
