Furby Fright

The one where I didn't like my roommate's new Furby toy....







For the last week, my roommate, Audrey, has been taunting me with her newest addition to Stoughton Island, her Furby, Pooter.  I'm not sure if you're familiar with the newest 2012 Furby release, but it is a horrible, horrible little robotic creature that I will never learn to love.  Since Audrey wouldn't listen to me when I kindly asked her to get rid of her new pet, I knew Hasbro would have my back.
  



The abnormally fast response rate and my ability to reach the former CEO blew my mind. Great guy.





The return label kindly provided by Hasbro that will be used to exile Pooter.





Even when I am able to escape the home that Pooter and I now share, I am constantly receiving Snapchats, videos and pictures keeping me informed on Pooter's whereabouts and life updates.

    When I was about eight years old and moved houses, I put my Furby in a box along with my other toys. The first night that I was in my new house, I didn't have time to unpack my toys, so they were still in a box in my room. In the middle of the night, my worst nightmare began. My Furby came alive. It would not stop moving or making noises. Scared for my life, I kicked the box, which only elicited more noise from the creature. Around 4 am, I couldn't take it any longer. I rummaged through the box, found the Furby, and then threw it out my window.

    Because of Furbys, I am scarred for life. I am now deathly afraid of any animal of that size, such as squirrels. Thanks for the post, Gina. You have finally put some of my worst nightmares to rest.

Alma Mater Mayhem

The one where I finally graduated college and my university removed the historical "graduation picture" statue.... For those of you who don't attend U of I, the Alma Mater was removed from campus this year for renovations and repairs.  As graduation approached, we were informed that she would not return in time which caused an uproar, as it's the iconic place to take your picture in a cap and gown.   Got my response!   The letter caught her attention (she CC'd the Dean of the College of Business and the Event Director of the Alumni Association).  We'll see what they plan for this alma mater event.

Ride the Rail Ridicule

The one where my friend competed in a "ride the rail" competition to finish a list of 30 beers and the bar lost her card so she had to start over.... For those of you who aren't familiar with Ride the Rail, it's a dirty marketing scheme at one of our campus bars, Legends.  You are provided with an empty card that has twelve different types of beer and three mixed beers with three columns for each beer.  Once completing the card, you are awarded with a tshirt and you get your name on the wall of the bar.  As always, my roommates and I got incredibly addicted to this and worked toward this goal on most Tuesdays and even God's day of rest, Sundays.  We always had a good time, until something happened last week. I change my mind, I love them.  And dinner on the house!  To clarify, she did try two different times with two different bartenders to find her card so we weren't complaining for nothing.  Here it...

Kanga RoofPouch Rupture

The one where I was on my way home from spring break and lost my week's worth of clothes in the middle of the highway due to a faulty "Kanagaroof Pouch" on top of the car... In order to fit all of our luggage and seven bodies in a single car to PCB, my spring break crew used this nifty Kanga RoofPouch to maximize our storage capacity.  Little did we know how this roadtrip would end... The guys loading up our car, properly assembling our Kanga RoofPack, and Joey being Joey And the cleanup begins.. Stay tuned for the response
