2009-11-17T19:07:00.000-05:00

Sorry, I just was excited/slightly confused about that fact that my posts were going to be one right after the other. WOAH.So, this is a little abbreviated version of part of my trip this past weekend.NOTE (For AFTER you read the comic): I do know what "Eli" is referring to, but I just thought it an odd/slightly comical thing when you think about it that way..."What is an Eli?" -to try and

Casting Call... DJ of the Week!

2009-11-04T22:18:00.002-05:00

Dudes! As those of you who read the blog last year know, we used to have a column where each week someone in TD would be a guest DJ on the blog. Let's bring it back!

2009-11-03T21:14:00.003-05:00

So here's the comic for the week. Or perhaps for the last two weeks. It's a bit on the whimsical side, but I hope it still makes sense or at least is enjoyable.By the way, if you have any funny, interesting, relevant TD-related ideas you'd like to see rendered in comic form, feel free to send the ideas my way. I'll credit you, of course, and it'll ease my mind a little, too. :DSpeaking of

Sorry for the long delay guys, midterms about did me over. Without further ado, the solution to last time's picture and the new one for this week!Sumi '13 is the lucky winner of last weeks picture, the painted TD logo.

FOX

2009-10-28T14:59:00.006-04:00

Fox News is the highest rated cable news channel in America, and it has been for some time now. Obama seems to think that Fox News is not a legitimate news source, so over the course of his term, he has effectively barred them from the White House and interviews with himself and other important figures. The major flaw here is that Obama seems to define a "legitimate news network" as one that

Huge news came out of Stockholm, Sweden this week in the form of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner. To the surprise of many worldwide, the 44th President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, was named the recipient despite the deadline coming less than two weeks into his presidency. However, an in depth analysis of the award’s history and Obama’s achievements leave me

Breaking News: TIMOTHY DWIGHT WINS BLADDERBALL!

2009-10-10T17:41:00.004-04:00

Timothy Dwight, that was an amazing performance at Bladderball. Between rallying our forces, ringing the bell while running through Silliman and Old Campus, battling for the ball near the Green, keeping it from Calhoun, and especially, bringing a massive sheath of the skin of the Bladderball and presenting it to Master T during the Parent's Weekend Open House, it's clear that Timothy Dwight won

How good are you at noticing the world around you? Good, you say? Even great? Well that's fine, because one thing's for sure, you're not better than me. I'm so good at noticing things, in fact, that I'm starting a fun new weekly feature that pits Yalie against Yalie in cold blooded, cutthroat, high-risk/high-reward Where's Waldo-esque photo identification. It's called: Things You Haven't Noticed

For those of you who haven't been living with Devin Smith, TD '12 (which would be all of you except for me, in case you were wondering), you may have missed a significant change in this fine young man's life. Since school began in early September, there has been one and only one thing on Devin's mind:TRAIL MIXThat's right. This man eats like 4 whole bags of trail mix a week (in addition to 3

Lucas Iberico-Lozada: This Week in Political News

2009-10-06T19:34:00.007-04:00

Our good friend Lucas '13 writes in on political news for the week. Let the comments roll in!* * *Hey all, my name is Lucas Iberico-Lozada. My general idea for this once-a-week nugget of goodness is to do a quick political news roundup and brief political commentary. I don’t have any outstanding, rigid beliefs about politics; I think we’re constantly changing what it means to be a nation, and to
