Travelers Anonymous

The CCC is here for you. Post failport stories in the comments.

Happy Holidays from the CCC!

We here at the CCC are overjoyed for the end of the semester and the upcoming holidays, despite the crazy weather that has been going on over the past few days, almost as crazy as this lovely house. Also, we shall bid farewell and the best of luck to the beloved Jackie and Celia, who are spending the next semester abroad in London and Rome, respectively. CCC Europe, we expect you to be classy during the spring semester!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Chrismukwanzahah! What ever holiday you all celebrate, and see you next year!

"WTF, Ceiling Leak Storm '08"

Two unsuspecting residents entered their basement room at 176, only to find several leaks over one of their beds. After numerous calls and running up and down the stairs, the residents were overjoyed to see B&G come after an half-hour's wait. The source of the leak was found at the heater of two male residents three stories above. Currently, the room is in a state of disaster with a MASSIVE-sized hole in the ceiling and continuous dripping. The residents will welcome any donations to the cause of being in a rather unfortunate situation right before finals period.

Let them eat cake!

Our favorite Mistress of the Hair Poof has proved that there's no need to fear Greeks bearing gifts...if they come from CCC South! Current residents can find chocolate to sustain them during finals period on the Free Table in the 176 lobby. Thanks are due to the CCC's own "Tastycake"--the lovely alum from Philadelphia who has a real business card.

How to get into the CCC

Spotted: One new resident of 178! Residents were on hand to welcome this newcomer in their typical "so friendly it's almost creepy" tradition. Appropriate levels of awkwardness were maintained.
Apparently the newest way to get a coveted room in this Bay State Road hotspot is self-injury. The CCC knows this residence is special--we just didn't realize how special!

Lost: One Condom Relevant to Our Interests

One first-floor senior resident would like to request the return of a condom from the first-floor bathroom collection. The condom in question is said to have a pyramid on the wrapper, and disappeared some time in the past two days. The thief is asked to please return the condom in any condition.

This ain't Catholic school!

We here at the CCC don't necessarily believe abstinence-only education is the way to go, and neither does one of our mysterious friends! A first floor resident was excited to finally get some mail when she naively opened the envelope and found a condom inside. Grateful for the reminder to practice safe sex, she looked for a sign of who sent the sperm blocker, but alas! there were no clues. If you have any information about the Condom Caper, please call us at CCC HQ.

In the meantime, always practice safe sex!

This isn't what I signed up for!

This Thanksgiving break, one resident ventured south to the far-off city of Atlanta to visit her sister. She wishes to report that regrettably, Atlanta is in The South. Drawbacks include, but are not limited to: THE MOST ENORMOUS BUGS EVER, random people who start conversations without provocation, and excessively expensive cucumbers.

How Did This Happen?!

Gone, but not Forgotten

Elf Yourself is BACK!

It's a little out of season...

...but who is the CCC to argue if some residents want to get twitterpated?

Work it. Don't jerk it.

There has been a lot of requests lately for a much needed accessory to the Classics House: the latest trend of the season, a baby!

We can never have too many Classics House Babies, so remember ladies, it's not always fashionable to play it safe!

Good evening Upper Bay Staters:

It's going to be a good Monday, and rest of the semester for that matter. It seems there is a new enticing lady in the building. Or is she? But the real question is: will BU be able to resist the Bay State brunette invasion?

ATTN Upper BSR:

LOST: Moral compass

If found, please return to: 178 Bay State Road.

To boldly go where no CCC resident has gone before...

Saturday evening, several female residents made their way across the river to socialize with males of the MIT variety. Dancing and lemonade have never gone together so well, and a lengthy walk home in the pouring rain dampened clothes but not spirits.
The CCC's favorite part of the evening? Sunday, when one of the more enterprising MIT freshmen took it upon himself to Facebook-friend the residents. Upon receiving the friendship request, the following was heard from one resident's room:

"FUCK!!! Now he'll find out that I'm not a sophomore from New Jersey!!!"

Bonding? Or bondage?

Hello again, residents.
It seems there's some serious chemistry on the first floor. The rate of the reaction was rather speedy, and we're wondering what the catalyst was. Never mind that the new boy bears a passing resemblance to our favorite J.W.--hopefully he's easier to hold onto! Good luck, P.

We hear the couch in the basement is pretty comfy, R., in case you need it.

XOXO,
CCC

Cold air, Warm beds.

Good evening residents ,
CCC here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of the Bay State Elite. Our ears are buzzing, and we hear that the leaves aren't the only things falling-- into bed, that is. Careful, residents, house-cest is never a good idea. Well, unless you're J and D. But since we know that most of you aren't, we've found that the best leaves fall farthest from the tree. Allston is full of lonely boys.

You know you love us.
XOXO,
CCC

Soon...

PSA for 21+ residents

Last night, one of the CCC's residents ventured out into the wide world of...
...REAL bars.

This resident would like to share with all (21+) CCC readers this fact: there is fun outside the realm of trashy Allston parties!

Sad Snugglers?

Studies show that a good snuggle now and then can help lower stress levels and raise feelings of happiness and contentment for up to a week after a good snuggle.

So, in this stressful midterms week...look around you...is there a fellow resident that needs a good snuggle?  Sources show there is one resident requesting snuggles on the third floor...

We're all studying, we're all stressed...let's look out for one another and offer up a snuggle*

*make sure it's not forced snuggling...which could be sexual harassment.

Hailstorm in the Lobby!

Late Tuesday night an unfortunate resident of the Classics House was traumatically bludgeoned with a so called "ice phallus," thrown from the 176 third floor landing. Rumors that it was a gift from one male lover to another have yet to be confirmed. The injured party accepted an apology later that night, but it should be noted that this brand of welcome is not normal in America.


Wednesday dinner was decidedly partisan, with the two addresses sitting over three tables away from each other in the dining hall and eating over twenty minutes apart. In this time of great joy at the removal of fire hazards from the Classics House, it is imperative that not we split into factions, but remain united in our eating habits.

STOLEN GOODS

BREAKING NEWS: A girl at 180 BSR (that's next door) had her cell phone stolen, and the perp just ran off down the street. If they are that ballsy to steal a phone on BSR, who's to say they won't get inside our house?

Just a light word of caution to those people who feel safe leaving their wallets and computers in the lobby unattended...

Oh and if it's garbage you are more inclined to leave, your mummy's not here to pick it up for you-DIY.

For the first and last time...

Below, CCC readers and residents can find a link to the washer and dryer repair request. If you notice that one of the machines is broken, please report it so that everyone can do their laundry!

Eleni is coming. October 24-26th. Get ready.

CCC Residents of the Past and Present Merge

Current CCC residents and alumni merged in Philadelphia last weekend. Jackie Dinas traveled to Philadelphia to visit the dashing Darren Ashby, the beloved CCC RA who is at the center of most CCC legends. Good times were had over Iced Teas-- Honest for Darren, Fresh Brewed for Jackie and Long Island for Eleni.

Due to the success of the first CCC meeting across state boarders, other CCCers are encouraged to follow suite and visit the City of Brotherly Love.

Plague!

Reports of a mysterious ailment afflicting the Classics House have begun to surface. The origin of this ailment is uncertain; some believe it to be Greek in origin, although there are those who claim it hails from the Levant. Meanwhile, rumors of tainted bananas have been steadfastly denied by the Costa Rican government.

The issue of quarantine has come up for discussion several times, but most inhabitants of the House agree that social interaction must be maintained in the face of assorted threats to the common good.

The CCC reminds all of its readers that it is printed via a hypoallergenic electronic medium, and that, should a pandemic break out, further reports will remain contagion-free.

Sneaky Redesign, Get Over It :o)

The title says it all. Come on guys, people get sick of the same ol' thing all the time! And I added a visitor counter so we can see how well we are liked!!!

Also, I would like to take this opportunity to say that I am content regarding the removal of all of the fire hazards (trash bins) from the Classics House. We now live in a more safe and (semi-)productive environment.

-An ancient Classics House veteran and one of the founding fathers/mothers of CCC

Overheard in the Basement

"It would suck if you performed badly at sex."



Also: There were numerous reports of a fire hazard Sunday evening, and confirmation of its removal has yet to be received.

Watch out, Boston.

A certain resident is now 21.


We here at the CCC think that's all that needs to be said.

Maybe she's born with it...maybe it's Room 113.

Residents spotted a Waldo-doppelganger (actual resemblance is currently being debated) in Room 113! What on Earth could he have been doing there? Who could he have been visiting?
All the CCC knows is that she's his Sargent Choice.

This next song goes out to you, Darren.

The CCC would like to make a friendly reminder that stereotyping and/or racist comments are not tolerated in the Classics House. Remarks such as: "Oh well, we're just switching one Mexican for another" should not be used in reference to a Costa Rican boy sitting in a Panamanian girl's room, even if he is on her bed.

The reports of our social deaths are not exaggerated.

The CCC regrets to report the tragic news that three residents were spotted at Mugar Memorial Library at 8:30PM on the second Friday of the semester. One resident was overheard to say that she intended to remain at the library until 11PM.
The residents are socially survived by their entire house, as well as house alumni. Memorial services will be observed on Saturday evening, and in lieu of flowers please make a monetary donation to the bar or drinking establishment of your choice.

The Rumor Mill is STILL up and running!

Classics House alumni, scattered across the country, are delighted to learn that the rumor mill (Deanna) is still up and running. While we can no longer run downstairs and directly into Deanna's room, she just a phone call away and a wealth of knowledge.

Notice:

Banana Meeting
Room 108
9:30PM

MANDATORY

Time for the CCC Sound Bite

"I don't like them if they're not white."

"Doc...Wilson! Doc...Johnson! Doc...SHIT!"

"Whoa! We could totally like, steal shit!"

"What's your ethnicity?"
"....Cracker."

"It's hot as Satan's crotch in here."

"Warren! How daring!"

On Tuesday, September 2, 14 people showed up for dinner. This is possibly the largest turnout for house dinner to date. It should be noted, however, that it took 5 people to do what our favorite ginger-haired girl used to do single-handedly.
Plans to go to Towers were thwarted by a fire drill, and dinner at Warren was ended by the same. The CCC would like to comment that in the event of a real fire, we would all have been quite crispy.

HBICs be in tha house, yo.

As the beginning of the semester approaches, some residents of the CCC have begun to settle in. HBICs Bruni, Shawna, and Meg have all returned and eagerly await the appearance of the remainder of their fellow residents.
Some pre-semester news items include:
-the CCC is sad and empty without our favorite '08ers
-swipe access at the vestibule door (that's right folks, during our frequent power outages, we won't be able to get into our own house!)
-the amazing disappearing trashcans (apparently, they're a fire hazard, and we're better off taking our trash to the alley dumpsters)
-the amazing disappearing coffee pictures
-178 will shortly be renamed "The Random Freshman House"
-Ron Weasley lives on the 3rd floor of 176

Let's Pack Up and Fly Away!

As the summer officially begins, some CCC residents have already fled the country for more exotic locales and ancient antiquities, and as the week progresses, it seems even more will leave us...

As each individual CCC member leaves us remaining residents, we can only wish them well and tell them we will miss them dearly!  Be Safe! Learn Lots! Don't break any international antiquities laws *cough indianajones cough*

Ps- the new movie reveals he is tenured!!

Darren Ashby: More Smarter than He Appears?

Yes, CCC readers, you are indeed sensing a theme here on this blog! Darren Ashby reigns supreme as our main topic of discussion. This time, Professor Bard was astounded by his many accomplishments and approached him telling him as much. She never knew quite how smart he was!

But, ahhh, Professor Bard. Darren's achievements may allude to him being smart, but he is the one who came up with the title of this post. Maybe not so smart after all . . .

Darren Ashby: More Popular than Paleoethnobotany?

It appears the Ashby males have quite the sex appeal--even from afar! Professor Borojevic was overheard asking Dashby Sr. and Mashby if they had any other single male children. What brought this up? Borojevic kept hearing Darren Ashby's name brought up in many of her classes. Especially in paleoethnobotany.

Although the ultimate mystery may not be soon revealed, we can rest assured that Darren Ashby IS more popular than ancient plants!

Men Happened, Brunella

This is what happens when men interfere in the lives of CCC founders. Unfortunately, Deanna was not there to prevent this and Darren was not there to take the heat for it. Men be warned! Think twice before making our lives miserable!

Will the Tradition Continue?

Throughout its years, the Classics House has seen its fair share of traditions. But one new tradition hangs in the balance: what resident will date the next RA?

The tradition cannot be broken!

CCC Graduates

After 4 wonderful years at BU, some of the select CCC readers have graduated! Some were privileged enough to live in the House all 4 years other came late to the party. Regardless of time of arrival, all had a wonderful time within the house and will miss each other and everyone dearly! Thanks for a great time house! Keep the tradition alive!

Bashby Single?

No, but we were hoping.

Bashby Disses the CCC

In a move that has left the CCC writers wondering "what was he thinking?", young Brendan Ashby has chosen to attend Rensselaer over BU. Yes, they have the better program. And yes, they are giving him a computer. But, Bashby, you just denied an entire house of girls already dedicated to you.

What were you thinking??

CCC Vandalism

The CCC took an excursion yesterday to paint the Greek Rock. Although some members who belonged to an actual sorority felt this was not the true purpose of the rock, the CCC begs to remind others that there would be no sorority/fraternity letters without the Classics(/Greek)! After much worry that the paint would not hold out, the rock was finally complete! And even better, Dean Elmore stopped by to help us show off the Classics House strength.

H TAN H EPI TAS!!

Meg Has Left Us!

Meg has left the dear Classics House for some fun adventures in Turkey. While we are all excited for her, we already miss her. Now who will we sing happy birthday to every day at the dining hall??

Even though she has left the CCC, she has not forgotten her reporting duty. So now we take you to Istanbul (was Constantinople) for an international update from our own Meg: "All the beautiful men are in Istanbul".

This has been the CCC with your 10:30 news. Good night and get on that Meg!

Deep Mysteries of the Classics House

The Deepest Mystery of the Classics House has been solved.

The Deep Mystery shall come to light soon. It shall come to pass this Thursday. The Oracle sees all!

I'm with stupid

Brothers and sisters in dormitory camaraderie, we are gathered here today to whitness a new birth. Today, we shall celebrate the naming of Sister Deanna. No more shall she be known as such--that is her slave name. No more shall it hold her down. And no more shall the non-Californians, non-weathy, and non-stoned hold her back! From this day forth, she shall be known as:

"With Tom".

Please help us celebrate this momentous occasion. Let's pass a bowl around.

The House is onto you.

You know who you are . . .

Bathroom Fun Times!

The boys on the 3rd Floor on 176 must have had a party at some point, because the aftermath of said party caused their toilet to overflow. The damaged leaked all the way down to the first floor where it expunged itself through the chandelier.

Luckily, the CCC's very own and amazing B&G guy was on it! Not only did he clean up the problem, he also proceeded to deep clean the carpet (which we are very grateful for!).

People affected by the catastrophe: the 3rd floor, Eleni, Brunella and Meg. Please keep these victims in your thoughts and prayers.

Tom's Discovery

Truly failed by the public school system and his previous girls, our very own Taco Bell star recently discovered that women do not have Adam's apples.

If you see Tom on the street, feel free to continue his anatomy education.

WOTS

. . . is that if Darren is not on call, anything goes!

Unfortunately, Darren is on call tonight, so watch your shenanigans!

The Cockroach Strikes Again!

Residents were surprised when the RA left them in his room without supervision. His punishment? A cockroach in his bed!

After apparently throwing the thing away from him in disgust, he hid it in front of room 112, where a recently awoken Brunella discovered the beast and froze in fear.

The message is clear: no one is safe from La Cucaracha del fuego!

Are they or aren't they?

Cast your votes here!

A CCC Lawsuit

As the first truly warm evening hit Boston, many of the 176 residents (and 2 from 178) did some stoop sitting, which ultimately lead to heckling people. When one resident noticed 2 people making out, 5 of said sitters heckled "ooooooo" to the couple.

. . . who turned out to be lesbians. Rumors of a lawsuit abound, but the CCC would like to remind people that we heckle equally, regardless of race, major, sex, dog, ice cream, fashion, or sexuality. We are Equal Opportunity Hecklers.

Overheard in Room 212

Girl: I'd take a punch for a penis peek.

Peeps be getting desperate.

Eric, Tell Your Friends Where You Live!

12:46 am

Boy: Is Eric over here?
CCC Reader: Eric lives on the other side idiot!
Boy: Sorry, I don't live here! . . . How do I get to the other side?

Eric, draw your friends a freaking map!

A CCC Shout-out

The Classics House Chronicles would like to welcome Amy Cordner to the wonderful drama of 176-178 Bay State Rd.

Feel free to leave us your comments!

It's like AA, except different . . .

Haze [heyz] – verb (used with object), hazed, haz-ing

1. to subject (freshmen, newcomers, etc.) to abusive or humiliating tricks and ridicule

There has been some recent concern over possible hazing issues that occurred throughout the year. I would like to be the first person to step up and realize that I, perhaps like you, need help. I, Deanna of room 112, haze people. The acts that I have done are violent and cruel and completely fit within the definition of hazing seen above.

After knowing Meg for 2 years, I hazed her last week by covering her door with Pita Pit posters.
After knowing Tom for 2.5 years, I hazed him by taping his toothpaste to the wall.
After knowing Matt Piscitelli for 3 years, I repeatedly hazed him in many different ways.

I need help. That's why, I've instituted the Classics House Hazers Anonymous--the HHHA. If you, too, have problems with hazing, please let me know. Meetings will begin this Wednesday at 8 pm in the basement. Miss Tyra will help us.

(This is not what I do: prank – n. A mischievous trick or practical joke)

Sad

I miss Bashby!

The Ashbys are coming!

Prepare yourselves.

Where's My Fairy Godmother??

Overheard in the Classics House:

"I wish Dashby would stare at MY boobs!"

May your wish come true.

Get Rich Quick

As Deanna searches for a job after college, many friends have been there to support her. The latest plan? Have her sell her chest for advertising space.

Effective and yet so simple! Brilliant!

Archaeology Students Take a Stand

After seeing the table flyers at Towers, one in particular struck 3 of the CH archaeology residents: Stop the Illegal Arms Trade. This small reminder from Jamnesty inspired them to take a different stand . . .

After some troubles, they finally had their message complete: Stop the Illegal Antiquities Trade!

Elia would be so proud!

Naivite (aka Stupidity)

Tom completed his life's dream when he finally got to see down a certain resident's shirt. Cause she is a fool.

In related news, Tom had sweet dreams last night.

Go Directly To Jail

Some Classics House residents have been accused of sexually harassing Dashby. But it's only harassment when it's unwanted, right?

Something to ponder on.

From the Diary of Brunella

Dear Diary,

Today started okay. I was doing my laundry and things were good. I love when my dirty stuff gets clean! And know what else I love? Chemistry. Chemistry is the greatest. Especially this equation. I love it. It's the epitome of my life:


But at any rate. I was taking my time and carefully putting my sheets on my bed, when all of a sudden out of nowhere, Tom comes flying in the room and jumps on my bed! Under my sheets! IN HIS OUTSIDE CLOTHES!! I know everyone thinks Meg is the one who freaks out about that stuff, but bitch please. Do they not know who my mother is?

It is taking all my strength to not rip them off and clean them right now. But I'll wait till tomorrow. If Meg can do it, I can too. I must channel Miss Tyra's strength. What would she do? She would have us sit in a circle with Tom in the middle and have us all say our problems with Tom. Yes, I like that idea. Ahh, Miss Tyra saves the day again!

Buenos noches diary!

xoxo
Brunella

Bashby Is Coming!

That girl better watch out.

Darren’s “Fresident” Runs Him Down with a Blue Cart

Tonight, Darren Ashby was hit with a blue cart. Witnesses say that the cart was pushed at an intention and accelerating speed directly into Darren outside of the Common Grounds House (which is where one may actually find a Waldo). Neither the cart nor the RA sustained any injuries.

It's not November...

A turkey was spotted outside the GSU by two Classics House residents this morning.

Click HERE for happiness.

Cockroach Infestation

The April Fool's Day spirit affected members of the Classics House today. Although other pranks were pulled during the evening, the best prank (in this writer's opinion) was to come later at approximately 11:45 pm. Previously that evening, 3 CCC readers rushed into Meg's room whilst she was downstairs and hid a plastic cockroach in her bed (an added plus: Meg does not enjoy when people touch her sheets).

While Meg tantalized 2 excited residents by acting ready for bed, but never getting in, the 2 ladies checked in with her roommate for updates. Finally, as they were standing outside Meg's door waiting, they heard what they had been waiting for: that Meg scream of horror and disgust! Excellent!

Just wait till she sees her underwear drawer . . .

Wet Chicken

A poor, sad Mike Toohey returned to the Classics House past his bedtime and completely soaked. It appears our fine resident and future psychologist at Hofstra did not read the weather forecast. His look prompted one resident to call him a "wet chicken". He seemed favorable to this comparison.

Mike, please click here for an important website.

News from the Jungle

Wasserman returns! Well, sort of . . . Meg received a postcard address to the House and it was with both shock and excitement that she exclaimed: "I got a postcard from Mike! Why did it come to me?" The card can be found in front of Brunella and Deanna's door, or, you can view the transcribed text here:

Hola House,
Hope you are all doing well! I miss you guys and our fun and exciting times in the house. Congrats to all you seniors! Ecuador is amazing! I head to the rainforest on Monday and I'm really excited for it! I'll be able to play with monkeys and birds and jaguars and snakes and big trees! Cool stuff! Okay, take care all!
Love,
Mike (you know, that kid who used to live with you)

Oh, Mike. We miss you too!

CONGRATS!!!

YOU GO GIRL!!! YOU GOT GROPED!!!

Live from the Chalupa!

New News from the Thomas!

1) There are people living in the boiler room
2) There are giant rat aliens living in the boiler room
3) Jackie is Tom's official stylist.

Back to you Stacy!

Mischief Managed

Deanna has left us one again...and now something wicked this way comes...

Safe!

The ginger-haired girl has returned! We can all breathe again.

Deanna Abandons the Classics House; Early Demise for All

-Samantha Stein could not peel her orange at dinner. Deanna was not here to do it. Samantha died of scurvy the next day.
-Kevin called one too many people “cunt slut bags” and was pummeled to death by an angry mob. Deanna was not here to stop the violence.
-Tom (redacted). Deanna was not here to discourage (redacted).
-Brunella and Meg lobby sat from 5:45 on. Deanna was not there to tell them to go to dinner. Brunella and Meg died of starvation at 3:42 this afternoon.
-Deanna was not here to encourage Eleni to order Pita Pit. She ate in the dining hall and died.
-Celia received a fatal paper cut while studying Latin. Deanna was not here to provide Band-Aids.
-Jackie had a relativity peaceful evening because Deanna did not hide in her closet. The stress of solitude was too great a strain on Jackie’s heart.

On a related note, Darren Ashby is thriving.

Overheard in the Classics House

9:15PM, on the stairs.

Girl: TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF!!!!

Photo Shoot at 176

Last night, a photo shoot occurred.

There was just a commercial with a lemur in it!

In other news, some Classics House residents were dismayed to see that a certain AR210 professor was sans bolo tie today.

We Aren't Alone

Through our underground networks, the CCC has discovered members of the Classics House aren't the only ones trying to track down Waldo:



He seems cocky now, but once the Wizard is on our side, he'll have a reason to run.

Mike Toohey Makes It Big

The Classics House's beloved resident, Mike Toohey, has gotten into grad school at Hofstra! Congratulations Mike! Live it up!

It Takes a Village

As Eleni churns out paper pages at a glacial pace, CHC must comment on the outpouring of support for our frazzled resident. Monday while Eleni studied for her Earth Science midterm Brunella was happy to confirm the difference between silicate and non-silicate minerals, Kevin cheerfully explained how isotopes were formed and Deanna remained on call for hours, responding to questions on fault fractures and stenography.

Eleni has been cheered on as she moved to Media and Politics as well as Presidential Leadership. Whoops of delight are heard in the lobby as Eleni announces the play by play accumulation of page numbers. Encouraging posts have appeared on her facebook wall. Residents have accepted, and even encourage, Eleni’s need to blast the theme’s of Rocky, Superman, Indiana Jones and Star Wars to keep Eleni motivated and confident in her Superhero like abilities (please refer to Jan. post: Eleni becomes a Superhero). You go girl.

Possible side-effects of Deanna include...

Comment here if you're failing at least one class due to lobby-sitting.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

New statistical information has surfaced.  It states, 

Darren Ashby: More Popular than Sex

4 out 5 fresidents agree.

Please note the use of the dramatic colon. 

Jackie, Tell Me About the Boy Who DIDN'T Go to NYC

Members of the Archaeology Club woke up bright and early to head to NYC to view the Met and the city itself. All had wonderful time, however, the day would only have been more wonderful had Darren Ashby come along as promised late the night before. Sadly, the girls from the Classics House had to remember him in this way:


Oh Darren Ashby, how we missed you!

Damsel in Distress

Many thanks to Thomas for saving a very distressed and locked out resident very late in the evening yesterday.  

Thankfully, ENG homework/procrastinating keeps you up into the wee hours of the morn' to let a freezing lady back in the house.  

We Found Waldo!!

Hi, Jon Waldo. We found you!

Jackie Breaks the Law

No, Jackie, stop! Rape is strongly frowned upon in this house! Even if it is Scott Foley.

Samantha Is Broken

Our very own Samantha Stein has broken her sex muscle. Reports on how are unclear at this time. She claims she has not had sex--but what about immaculate sex, Samantha? I'm sure God likes it rough.

Excuse me while I proceed to Hell.

Dashtina in the Dark

Platonic? Really?

Youthful Yearning

Today, a few 176-ers decided to forgo work in favor of the beautiful weather and relive their joyful days of youth.  After a quick jaunt to the esplanade, the residents found themselves at the playground. Some highlights of the day included:

1) A playground photo-shoot

2) A Charles River Walk-Off

3) Many different kinds of swinging

4)Youthful scampering

5) A lot of laughter

6) An almost deadly game of frisbee

7) Wet Pants, and Frizzy Hair

8) A good time had by all.

As one resident said, "Pollution, you can warm my globe anyday!"

Deanna Says

The house has voted you OFF the island!

Candidates 2008

The 176 side supports Dashtina 2008! Go all the way Darren Ashby!!

Congratulations Dashby! pt. 2

The Classics House's very own Darren Ashby has been accepted into Penn! Congrats Dashby! Way to go!!

Oh Dashby, you make it look so easy! We don't know how
you do it either.

Je ne regrette rien

Samantha Stein does not regret patting Darren Ashby on the head.

"Pat the Dashby" music video coming soon!

Danger, Mike Toohey, Danger!

Spies overhead 2 residents talking of killing Mike Toohey. Why? He has big feet.

Stay tuned for updates.

Muchas Gracias

Many, many thanks to everyone who came to the party last night and to everyone who helped with the planning. You guys did an amazing job of keeping it secret (I had no idea)! You're the best!

Smooches,
Deanna

PS--Great pictures and videos later!

1st Floor Germ Dissemination

The First floor of 176 is germy. Please exercise caution when entering and exiting the building, and keep breathing to a minimum. Should you run into a problem, take a cue from Mr. Toohey and run around, run around, run around, run around.

X-treme R-K-ology

Two Classics House residents and one ex-resident departed at the asscrack of dawn this morning for Milton, MA. Upon reaching the Wakefield Estate and meeting up with some graduate students, they participated in a dig...

...in a squall.

Hilarity ensues

Two choice quotes from dinner last night:

"Don't shred my penis!!!!!"

"Deanna, get out of my vagina!"

Balloons Descending

Two second floor residents threw balloons into the lobby. They should come and clean them up.

Samantha Changes Her Hair

Samantha Stein has dyed her hair. So, should you see a brighter-haired version of Samantha Stein, do not be alarmed… she has just changed her hair.

Lesbians in heat

Tempers flared as a silent rumble went down at 140 Bay State Road, also known as Towers. It is said that in the basement dining hall there was a feud between a few of Dashby's fresidents...

In related news, there is a newly discovered infected organ in the Classics House.

Samantha and Deanna: More than Just Friends?

Exhibit A: (note eye line)



Exhibit B: Overheard at the Classics House:

Samantha: I just want to see your boobs.
Deanna: Why?
Samantha: So I can think about them.


You decide.

Deanna's Deal

For the past 2 years, residents of the Classics House have tried to get Deanna Baker to the (over priced, underwhelming, not worth it) Back Bay Ball. Last year, she was saved by Andrea Luneau visiting BU. With many of her good "friends" demanding Dashby to take her to Back Bay Ball (A Red Carpet Event), how will she escape this year?? Well, thanks to some quick thinking, Deanna has made a deal with Meg. If Meg asks a certain Lost Boy out to the BBB (not to be confused with the KKK), Deanna will go with Darren Ashby. (Eleni: If he'll go with you)

Ahhh, the Classics House is filled with such supportive friends. Stay tuned for BBB updates.

Congratulations Darren Ashby!

Well deserved congratulations go out to Darren Ashby who was accepted into UC Berkeley's grad program! We all need to get together and celebrate!

In related news, Deanna now knows where she is going to grad school and Jackie is sure to follow . . .

Deanna Returns!

Deanna has returned from her trip. All is right again.

Blood, Sweat and Tears

"The only thing lamer than not having a life....is pretending to have one."

Dashby's Dirt & Deanna's Disappearance

After another thrilling evening of post-dinner step sitting, a discussion arose amongst residents in regards to the various levels of "action" that occurs within the house.   

While discussing the Dash-tastic RA himself, Deanna went to check that he wasn't listening only to discover that AGAINST ALL ODDS his door was wide open.  

Horrified, laughter erupted as Deanna escaped to the safety of 176, only to bump right into Dashby minutes later.

The discussion may have included references to "that girl he was all over," as well as "six kinds of STD's" and the habits of a certain perpetually missing male.  

After Deanna disappeared to her room, Dashby confirmed that he did indeed hear the rauncy gossip session.  

No word as to how Deanna or other Residents are coping with the humiliation, but more so the lack of oxygen from so much laughing.  

WOTS is...Watt's here!

Classics House would like to welcome the newest member of the 178 side, Angelo's new blonde roommate, "WOTS." Escaping from a harrowing situation involving Shelton, a dirty roommate, vomit, and 3 days without clean-up, WOTS was met at the door by a delegation (which had been lurking by the door for quite a while) from the 176 side. The welcoming committee pointed and laughed as various males attempted to lift a blue cart up the stairs of the vestibule. Deanna was suspiciously absent.
WOTS, if you're reading this, dinner is at 6.

Deanna Dresses Down

Much to the shock of Classics House Residents, Deanna was seen sporting what was obviously the bullet-proof vest of a midget today in the lobby.  

After attempting an elaborate spy routine and hiding behind our fantastic fake bush, it was determined that maybe the secret service wasn't for her.  Also, the vest may have been cutting off her circulation.  

Edit: Further investigation proved that the vest belonged to Jackie.

Hooplites Victory!

Today was the Hooplites premiere game against the Brown Filipino Warriors. With a 14 member team, the co-captains, Mike Toohey and Peter George, led our proud players to victory! Final score was 51 to something insignificant (aka 30 something points).

The Hooplites had returning favorites, but the 2 new favorite are Brian "Booyeah!" Idon'tknowhislastname and John Taylor of the Trebs. Way to be awesome boys! On our shit list: other Mike and sombrero boy.

Special thanks to the super cool fans who showed up to cheer the boys on! Totaling 9, it was the best fan turnout the Hooplites have ever seen!

Next game: Tuesday, February 12 at 5:45 pm against the Really Slow Fat Kids. Come or die.

Darren Ashby Disappoints

Darren Ashby, RA of the wonderful Classics House, becomes the first RA in senior history to not attend a Hooplites game. Even Jamie came to one!! This after promising to attend, then saying he'd try to make it if his GSU meeting at 6 didn't go too long. There better be some proof of a 2 hour meeting.

In connected news, Jackie was unable to deal with Dashby's absence and lies and has yet to recover from her hysterical crying. Our thoughts are with you Jackie. Comfort yourself with this: this is to be expected from boys, even dashbies.

Completely Unexpected

In a move considered by many to be completely unexpected and unprecedented, Tuesday followed Monday this week. If sufficient interest exists, a support group will be formed for students who wish to discuss this surprising turn of events.
In other news, the mighty Classics House Hooplites will be playing against some Asian team tonight! Hooplites and The Official Cheerleading Squad will be departing from the house this evening at 6 PM. Join us or know that the blood of many small baby animals is on your hands.

Deanna keeps her door open!

Today, Deanna kept her door open whenever she was home. This gesture, which encourages visitors, probably accounts to the great amount of traffic in and out of her room.

Samantha Sings Her Way to the Top

The Classics House's very own Samantha Stein scores her first Aural Fixation solo for "Right Back Where We Started From". If you are not familiar with the song, the writers strongly suggest you do not look it up on iTunes since the options there are not correct. Instead, please view an example of the song here. The song will premiere at one of her shows throughout the semester, but definitely at AFix's spring show on April 12. Check out people.bu.edu/auralfix for further updates (if Samantha ever gets around to updating it . . .).

Pocahontas Returns to Boston

This just in: Mindy Burkitt, everyone's favorite Native American gymnast, will resume her rightful place in the Classics House within the next few months. Definite plans have not yet been made, but Mindy will tumble her way East early to mid-April, bringing with her all the mischief and mayhem you've been missing.

Stay tuned for updates.

Dangerous Detergent Dispute

Early this afternoon an altercation was reported at 176 Bay State Rd. Reportedly, the quarrel occurred between two residents over laundry-washing precedence. Thankfully no injuries resulted, and the residents were able to settle the disagreement amicably.

Deanna Divulges

The rumor mill is up and running! Deanna is back, and in peak form. In the last week we’ve learned about the primal habits of the 3^rd floor (cannibalism and copulation), vestibule tonsil hockey, Darren Ashby’s shower, the cancelled Coldstone fieldtrip, the aforementioned Harry Pecker incident, the desperation of aural fixation, and of course her specialty—treb stalking (people.bu.edu/trebs).

Kevin studies for class

Classics House update: Last night, Kevin studied for class. Good job, Kevin!

Darren Ashby Resignation Rumor

Resignation rumors fly as Darren Ashby, yet again, is plagued by fear of his residents. From the moment he moved in, he has been hounded by requests from nametags to door cozies to icebreakers. Ashby’s door has often been vandalized and threatening notes are routinely shoved under his door. Buck up, Dashby. We all love you…though maybe a little too much.

Eleni becomes a Superhero

Due to the unusually high volume of static energy in room 213, Eleni has become a superhero. In the past 4 days, she has frozen her computer, turned off her TV, broken her cell phone, and short circuited both her DVD player and remote with the slightest touch of her finger. Though problematic, we are not concerned. This is what is known as the “transition phase”. We can expect great things from our powerful resident.

Harry Pecker and the Chamber of Dinas

Last weekend, a well endowed Daniel Radcliff replica appeared in Jackie Dinas’ room, complete with scar and glasses. Though initially frightened, Jackie has adjusted well to her new bedfellow. Well done, Dinas. Please keep it down.
