A 'Street' Exclusive Panel Discussion:

Moderated by Alf. We don't know why, either. Alf: Welcome, friends. As an alien living far away from my home planet and native people, I eat cats.

From the editor

Being a senior is kind of like being the star of an aging TV show. You have the cool house, the awards and accolades, often a solid following of fans.

The Spectaguard Spectrum

Mischievious -- Do you think the kids would notice if I take off my pants? Yeah, they would. It's hard not to notice my love-baton. Afraid -- Oh man.

Word on the Street: Size doesn't matter

In response to the Penn application essay question, "Why do you want to go here?" I theorized that by default, Philadelphia is the best city for a university ("DC is corrupted by politics, NY by crime and Boston by college students and rats"). Now that I'm a couple of semesters of college closer to not being in college, I'll very soon be picking another city.

From the Editor

When I think of college (some years hence) I will think of many things, I'm sure. (Or, as sure as I can be when hypothesizing on a still sort of distant future.) I sort of want to list those things now, but I also sort of don't.

Dance Dance

The album is the half-baked offspring of recycled ideas and hasty creation. The band toured for most of 2004 and 2005, writing and recording the new record whenever they could squeeze in studio time.

From the Editor

Suddenly, the whole school reeks. Not of rotting gyros nor unwashed freshman. Not of freshly manured Green grass nor second hand smoke. No, it's the smell of ambitious seniors.

Anyone who saw Sin City can tell you comics have changed a bit since the saccharine days of Superman and Dick Tracy.

Poems

I Can Pee Clearly Now I can pee clearly now the pain is gone. I can pee, no obstacles in my way. Gone are the itchy rashes that had me down. It's gunna be a bright (bright) Bright STD-free day. Oh yes I can make it now the warts are gone. All of the inflammation has disappeared. Here is that dick cream I've been praying for. It's gunna be a bright (bright) Bright STD-free day. Look all around there's nothing but pube hairs Look straight ahead there's nothing but pube hairs. I can pee clearly now the pain is gone. I can pee, no obstacles in my way. Oh, shit, my girlfriend has got herpes. It ain't right (right) Right no sex tonight. It ain't right (right) Right no sex tonight. (Fades) Mrs. VankerTanker We used to laugh at my high school Spanish teacher because she was fat couldn't wear shoes that tie instead she wore Velcro and would cry after eating lunch in her room alone.

Word on the street: Back to the Future

This summer I did a great deal of self-evaluation. I thought about the upcoming experience of being a senior and the culmination of a very pleasant little educational track that benevolent forces had seemed to guide me along.

Word on the street: Things to do before you graduate

This is it. The end. In 24 days -- a mere 576 hours -- I, with the rest of my class, will graduate. In 24 days it will no longer be appropriate to puke up vodka cranberry for four hours on a Friday morning.
