Wacko conservative college plans elderly coup, or is that coop?

I just looked at my college's website. I won't name any names, but it shouldn't be that hard to figure out, its the only college planning a retirement village that I know about. I'm not saying it's a bad idea... I think it is hilarious. I just wish that everybody saw the humor in it. Like the people who didn't get the joke when the motion was proposed. "Hey, why don't we start a retirement villa in the middle of nowhere on a college campus? " And somebody took it seriously "Yeah, that's a great idea! Everybody gets old and feeble and wants to live their remaining years in a bleak winter wasteland most of the time! Plus they'll get along great with a bunch of rowdy teenagers having keggers across the street!" Here is a bit of the ad, which I will try to disguise so that nobody will recognize it.

From the vantage point of its rolling hills, (retirement villa) will provide a spectacular view of (A significant phalic landmark), a symbol of the College’s fierce independence. The property – which fully covers 180 acres – is
conveniently located adjacent to our campus.

Alright, I also have to put this in. There are no rolling hills in tMidwestest. None. Zip, zilch, nadda. No hills whatsoever. This is not a geographical bias, I'm just being honest.

I could also berate this institution for making up imaginary graduate degrees, but lets face it, compared to constructingretirementent villa, that's normal.

I HATE KIDS!!!!!!

SO, most of my friends who have had to take drug tests or undergo criminal background checks have done so for the sake of employment. I had to go through them so that I could move back into my house. The week before I moved home, my grandfather went to the hospital, my middle sister totaled her car, and my parents made our house a foster home for three kids. Yes, three kids. All well under 18. One has spent some time in YDC, two are hellians, and it is a crazy time. Plus my nice and nephew live with us half the time. Then there is my sisters little friend who lives with us.

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Paris Hilton South Park episode, but it is true. Whither intentionally or no, these little girls are dressing like little sluts. I sure hope they aren't acting like it. Maybe it is age that gives me perspective, but I must say I am embarrassed by what my little sisters are wearing. I'm no prude, but if you are 14 and wearing Fredericks of Hollywood, there are problems. I found this out from my older sister. They were doing a cigarette raid (see if you smoke in the house and try to keep it secrete you might burn down the house) They found some cowboy killers and the afore mentioned pieces of clothing.

Of course I am also the one who has problems with a minor dating someone who is 18. If you are 18, you should look for someone your age or older. 17 is fine. 16, maybe. 15-> is too young. 14 is jailbait.

My grandfather is out of the hospital, and my sister is alright. Though I do reserve the right to tease her because she corrected my driving for a month claiming she knew everything there was to know about driving because she took a $400 driving class, and totaled her car by turning left INTO THE SIDE of another car. Not the front, the side. Not the back. THE SIDE. BAH, AH, AH, AH!!!
