Ugg Girl #2: Oh my God! Was she okay?
Ugg Girl #1: We got out and she was sitting in the street just twitching and shit. Some girl we were with knew CPR, but she was just as drunk as I was. It just killed the buzz I had going on.
Ugg Girl #1 and #2: Hahahahahahaha!

-- Soc. 172b, overheard by Jason

"Yes. Duh, that makes me judgmental."

Girl #2: Uh, aren't you a vegetarian?

Looking for depth at Western? This guy will be single forever.

Guy #1: Why'd you break it off with your girl?
Guy #2: Don't get me wrong, she was really nice and sweet, but I guess a little shallow? She was pretty frivolous about most things. Life is just a party to her - one long night at The Drink. It's fun for a while, but then you need to talk to someone and feel like you're not talking to MTV.

-- Centre Spot, overheard by Brian

Somewhere in Canada, a high school English teacher's head just exploded.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep...
