Idiom of the day

(10-01-13) much of a madness: very alike or similar; not much different. We could study abroad at either the program Westminster or the one at Middlesex, as they are much of a madness.

Hamlet Houseparty Wednesday Morning TURTLE

Last night, a few members of the slip saw a groundbreaking piece of performance art at an abandoned storefront in Brooklyn. We know you guys weren't there because the audience was pretty, umm, intimate in their seating situation. BUT, we also know you would've loved it had you been there, so, without further ado, here are some snippets from the masterful, powerful, individualist piece, "Hamlet House"

1) We're in Detroit with Hamlet's body.
2) Elvis is not Hamlet. Hamlet is not Elvis
3) WELCOME TO HAMLET HOUSE ( in 4 part dissonance)
4) Japanese Kamikazi Handstands
5) You You You
6)Hemmingway had bull's balls, Hamlet has bull's balls, Hamlet is Hemmingway
7) If you'd like to use the bathroom, wait for everyone to leave and shut both doors
8) Would you like a blue muffin?
9) Why did you have to go and die? We could've like hooked up and stuff
10) CALL ME MR. BABY BLUE
11) We could all drown if there was enough water
12) Ophelia is green now.
13) She likes pigs and I like her.
And Finaly.....
14) GUYS, things are getting royally F***ed up!

Hope you can catch it next time it comes around. You might wanna bring a fireproof jacket or something, just in case.

Non-paradox monday

This is just to inform you that today is not paradox Monday.

Next Monday, however, is paradox Monday, because

Tuesday is actually Monday, and Monday is Tuesday except for the fact that Tuesday isn't. Or at least that's what CUNY told us.

Also because it happens to be the last Monday of the month...

just so you know.

:)

At the Common Event

The violin sat on an ottoman while she drank some whisky from a cornucopia [of love?]. Then she decided to roll around the quad in roller-skates, wearing a burgundy tu-tu. Paper airplanes oscillate violently, sinking down into the abyss where they keep my soul. Snowflakes penetrate clouds of boobs and ice cream, licking lollypops as serpents danced across the purple lit sky calling the demented monkeys that ate the genetically engineered bananas. Someone said "you are my cheeseburger" and everybody joined in and sand along, to the "Sound of Music." Bob and Scotty wanted to be-bop. Then they died, ünd found themselves in a sticky jar of amber, so off went Jacob, who came out of nowhere, wondering if he should sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" or play musical chairs, but he decided to hop on the bus and get bubble tea from Main Street. When all of a sudden, Ents and Entwives found each other! Elves' pelvis gyrated, while Paris Hilton decided to enroll in QC and get an actual education, but suddenly a man fell from the sky, wrapped in a rainbow, and she was so fascinated by all the different colors, she forgot what she was going to do. She asked "Is there a pot of gold at the end?" He just looked at her funny- "This bitch is crazy," he thought. All he wanted to do in that very moment was to get away from her, but her gold bikini shimmered and he found himself stuck in tar.

Tarred and feathered, he studied the Norwegians and walruses and moved to Iceland.

4. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
