How to become a Pop Culture Icon
0 Comments Published by Runamuckgirl April 27th, 2004 in raNT/ravE.Impinging on boredom, my best friend and I decided to stop wasting time and try to become pop culture icons. At first it seemed as easy as becoming a college sorority girl; all we had to do was send in a video to a company and SHABAM - we would become cultural icons.
So we started [...]
I called up some of my homies to chill, but they were all like “yeah right!” So I went over to Burke Lake for some disc golf practice. If you don’t know what disc golf is, it’s the most phattiest sport in the neighborhood. You take these round, flat objects, called “discs,” and throw them [...]

I was sifting through some cds during my stint at the radio station and came across a beloved childhood character, Tiny Tim. If you are unfamiliar with Tiny Tim he’s not a character in any Dickens novel, but a flashy redheaded carnie who enjoyed popularity from his songs “Tip Toe through the Tulipsâ€, “I Love [...]
I swore to myself that I would never say it, but what are kids learning these days? I was browsing through the up-and-coming television shows for children (yes sometimes I have no life) and became frightened greatly by the new developments in television programming. Evidently the creators of Teletubbies have created a new show that [...]
There is no other explanation for the fact that I’ve lost all motivation to do anything school-related; I have come to a point of no return. Senioritis is the equivalent of Alzheimer’s disease for the college student. I wish I could say that was an exaggeration, but it’s not.
Last Monday night was when the worst [...]
It’s a funny thing about the Library of Congress… they forgot to put BOOKS inside. Last weekend I visited the LOC with a friend; what we found would make a grown man want to pee his pants and become a terrorist. First he would become a terrorist, because all terrorists are bed-wetters. Then every night [...]
