Who is this "Michael" from Waterloo?

I was just listening to The Best Show With Tom Scharpling from September 16th on iTunes, and at the 1h59m58s mark, someone claiming to be “Michael” from Waterloo, a football player in his second year originally of Hamilton, calls in. (You can try narrowing it down to one person, if you like.)

So, there is exactly one person who is cool enough to know who Tom Scharpling is at UW, and that person is a football player from Hamilton?

What the fuck is this?

A full-blown Waterloo Facebook investigation

After spending several hours ~~cyberstalking~~ analyzing the situation on Waterloo Facebook network, I’ve become quite convinced that it is packed full of insane/retarded/clueless people. I will be exploiting them for cheap laughs in coming weeks, so stay tuned.

People at Waterloo has a really bad taste (formerly "Reasons to hate Waterloo"), part 2

17 people on Waterloo Facebook network count Deadwood among their favourite shows. Compare that to the number of people whose favourite shows include My Name Is Earl, starring the insufferable Scientologist Jason Lee: 86. That’s about 1 to 5.

Facebook returns exactly two people when a favourite author search is performed for Umberto Eco. Two people. Two.

Waterloo housing mapper refreshed

gloom — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 13:00:13 +0000

The housing mapper has been refreshed.

Features include:

NEW – Google Maps instead of the slow, Flash-based Yahoo! Maps
NEW – Faster housing retrieval, hopefully.
Uses the current (almost; if someone made the same query less than four hours before, you will get the cached version) listing, not a cached version from a long, long time ago.
Less self-promotion-laden than the version by that another guy, not that there’s anything wrong with self-promotion.

Paul Martin to visit UW tommorow

According to The Globe, Paul Martin will be at UW tommorow morning or early afternoon.

Please, somebody do something outrageous; it’s beeen a year and half since the last time something even remotely anarchistic happened, and we’re barely holding on to the idea of an university at this point (what’s an university without ~~self-righteous and probably pretentious assholes~~ super-sexy rebels?).

Horrible, horrible, lame people you pray to god you will never have to talk to

Facebook has to be most entertaining web site ever. All those ‘tards we see every time we pass through the RCH-Physics-Porter triangle have their profiles on it, explaining in hilarious details what makes their retardation unique.

As much as I find the fact that I go to the same school as these retards frightening, I do find comfort in knowing that most of these ‘tard won’t make it past 2A.
