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.

Social Experiment fail, part un and deux

Last week, we asked our slippers to state, for the record, what their fears were. Natalia and Dan Feldman replied, and for that we thank them. For the rest of you, shame shame shame. Dudes, really.....

So that was your weekly guilt trip, now for the list of the week.


Here at Queens College we have a system where, should you misplace your ID card, you must sign into the dorms stating the time, the date, your room number, and why you do not have your ID. Most person opt for the one-word answers either of "Lost" or "Room"

Here are the answers I opted to use thus far, and a few I'm considering for the next time I lose my ID


~"Sigmund Freud"
~"Ninjas"
~"Komodo Dragon"
~"Bolivia"

*Turkish Bath
*1776
*Pinky finger
* Maxwell Smart, Agent 86
* Communism
*42
* I am the Walrus
*Egg Salad
*Moritz Stieffel
*White River Rafting
*Picaresque
*Existentialism
*Fetus
*Ate it


Feel free, as always, to add on.

Decadent? Never.

First off, slippers, I'd like to apologize. As some of you may or may not have noticed, last week our list was a list of ninja profile pictures. As you may well imagine, that was not as successful a venture as we had hoped. We learned our lesson.

With All Hallow's Eve coming up, we'd like to give you a little taste of our 26 favorite phobias. At the bottom is also a little homework assignment/social experiment


Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
Bromidrosiphobia - Fear of body smells.
Consecotaleophobia- Fear of chopsticks.
Doxophobia- Fear of expressing opinions or of receiving praise.
Epistemophobia- Fear of knowledge.
Francophobia- Fear of France or French culture.
Genuphobia- Fear of knees.
Hedonophobia- Fear of feeling pleasure
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia- Fear of long words
Ithyphallophobia- Fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis.

Koinoniphobia- Fear of rooms.
Lutraphobia- Fear of otters.
Metrophobia- Fear of poetry.
Novercaphobia- Fear of your mom
Omphalophobia- Fear of belly buttons.
Oneirogmophobia- Fear of wet dreams
Parthenophobia- Fear of virgins
Pteronophobia- Fear of being tickled by feathers.

Ranidaphobia- Fear of frog
Symbolophobia- Fear of symbolism.
Trichophobia- Fear of hair.
Urophobia- Fear of urine or urinating
Vestiphobia- Fear of clothing
Walloonphobia- Fear of the Walloons
Xanthophobia- Fear of the color yellow or the word yellow
And, of course…
Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat

Now comes the challenge. We would like each of our members to post a fear of theirs, either anonymously through a note to either Lisa or Natalia, or on this blog. They will then be re-anonymized and will be posted as next week's Wednesday list.

If it makes everyone feel better, I will post several

Lisa Maher is at least slightly afraid of:

Losing her memory
Getting drunk beyond all recognition
Parasites
Dying alone.
Macbeth.

Your turn....

Game Time-Rules and Scoring procedures.

Dear Slippers,


It has come to Natalia and Lisa's attention that only a small grouping of the members of our fair group know about the "Nose Game", as it has so lovingly been referred to.

Brief History-In 7th grade, a young man discovered he could make Lisa laugh hard enough to pass soda through her nose. He then tried to do the same with other edibles with similar success. Word spread. From then on, there developed an unofficiated point system of what goes through Lisa Maher's nasal passage.

The Game- Quintessentially, get a friend who is also a member of the game to pass something other than normal bodily contents through their nose. There are a few basic rules.

1. if the person who expels something from his/her nose dies, no point will be awarded.

2. if a person says/thinks something that as a result causes him/her to spew something out of his/her own nose, this shall be considered an autopoint. By default, everyone shall be awarded a point.

3. if, in the rare case that someone causes multiple persons to pass something through their respective noses simultaneously, this shall be considered an überpoint. he or she shall be rewarded 1x the number of people involved in the synchronized nasal spewing.

4.no points shall be allotted to anyone being a jerk if the nasal expulsion occurs when the jerk is being a jerk.

Additional points may be allotted from originality of substance or timing (i.e. during a funeral, a mass, birth, etc.)

Scoreboards-
As of October 5th, an official scoreboard will be created. If you believe you've gained a point, contact an officer of FSP with your name, the victim's name, the substance, and any additional information.

Scores will be posted the last Guido day of every month.

We will post a list of previously passed substances for this Wednesday's list.

Be well,
