CCC Sainthood

Darren Ashby: Beloved by all CCC residents. Probably beloved by his parents. Saint?

There were many trials and tribulations (read: pranks) over the year that Dashby was the faithful RA of the Classics House. And considering all that he had to go through, does Darren deserve CCC sainthood?


Let's think back (fondly) to that year. Darren had to:
-put up with a request for name tags after a long day of checking in BU students
-accept an apology from a girl with a pigeon in her hair
-deal with bananas/signs/sausage men on his door
-deal with the CCC being REALLY involved in his life
-deal with Xtina speculation
-deal with stalking by Jackie (and others, but, admittedly, the Jackie thing turned out well for all involved)
-turn a blind eye on a few parties
-deal with being harassed on the street at random moments (maybe even assaulted by a blue cart)
-deal with people planning to crawl into his room through his bathroom window
-deal with messages slid under his door
-deal with "sexual harassment"
-deal with general Classics House craziness that no other RA on campus wanted to deal with

Hmmm, all things considered, Darren Poehlein Ashby deserves CCC Sainthood!



Darren, first Saint of the CCC, ascends to the Pearly Gates (one half of the gates may be pearlier than the other).

Well, looks like English is the language of heaven. In your face, diversity.

I am a martyr for the cause of apathetic overlordship.

I thought sainthood required a gruesome and/or bizarre death? Perhaps this is premature...

Unknown said...

True. But this is CCC Sainthood. We're always a bit different, aren't we?

Unknown said...

this is priceless, there was a lot of work, that pearly gates one is just brilliant.

I laughed outloud at this for quite a while.

But let's not martyr darren for the cause just yet.

He needs to perform at least ONE miracle! Like going to some French House resident and making him speak Latin for the rest of his life!

Miracle... or CURSE?! DUN DUN DUN

Due to above confusion I'd like to clarify: martyrdom requires a gruesome death. Sainthood is based completely on merit and, well, holiness.
