I'm here in the library this morning with a breakfast of salsa Doritoes and coffee. Yes, I know it's disgusting, I'm the one eating it. You know what else people find disgusting, and I think this is a little odd, dead animals. I mean, we eat them for goodness' sake. Last night two of my hallmates, who shall remain unnamed, and I had a "Date with Justice" (aka Mallory Dean and the "Peer Review Board") over a matter of a part of a dead deer we left on a guys' hall on campus that shall remain unnamed. We were not expecting any kind of "discipline" for the prank. It was really simple, really clean, just a deer's head on a plastic bag on their floor. Then we heard from Mallory that he "knew we did it" (this was hardly scary news to us since we signed our names to the prank as we always do) and we should turn ourselves in or face "worse consequences." So we did, and last night we went in and told them our story (one at a time--it was pretty intense) and now we await a verdict. It was so strange going into Mallory's apartment and seeing all of these kids who had their notepads and were really serious about dealing out punishment. I felt like a rebel and being a rules-conscious first-born I don't feel like that very much. It was kind of fun, especially since I know I didn't do anything wrong. I found the whole thing kind of funny, especially when they started going into the dangers of bringing a dead animal onto campus. Okay look, we stopped on the side of the road and cut the head off this deer. It was fresh it was killed by a car, presumably on impact, it was a darn healthy deer. We had a dead possum on our hall a couple years ago with it's intestines going everywhere. I'm pretty sure that was more unsanitary than our clean head. I told Mallory that this deer was so healthy we could probably have eaten it if we had needed to. He said he didn't think it was ever a good idea to eat roadkill. He was probably right. It was a fun date with Justice, and Justice asked us for another date on Monday to discuss our "consequences." Maybe I should shave my legs.

Posted by: ryan at October 29, 2004 1:53 PMWeird. That they would overreact like that. You actually cut the deer's head off!? Wow! That's like the Godfather! (Was that the intent?)
We once had about 20 dead fish left on our hall. :-P Stank for ages.

Discipline for a clean prank?! Covenant is getting ridiculous. Sorry 'bout that.
