Cleaning the Filthy, Filthy Survival Center!!
Edit: I was very drunk when I made this post originally. Apparently some peoples’ idea of cleaning out Suite One doesn’t involve boxes, several hand-trucks, and a U-Haul, but merely some Simple Green and a recycling tub. To each his own, I suppose.
If you’re interested in assisting with the Suite One clean-up, considering it is “filthy, filthy”, click the link above, or just join the group and encourage my idea of cleaning-up!
P.S. Drew, are you circumcised I’ll ask this at a more appropriate time.

Are all the Communists going out with the rest of the trash?

I wouldn’t go in there without a hazmat suit.

Poor Suite One… only 5 confirmed maids.

They really ought to just burn it the hell down.

Timothy, you must have ESP.

I’m sorry, I’m quite aged, but are they finally getting around to that whole EMU reconstruction thing?

We’re working on it. This year the Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) actually wrote a resolution that was “postponed” by the administration, but VP of Student Affairs Robyn Holmes is working on getting the project in the construction queue, you know, behind a little project regarding an arena, and some student housing and stuff… small potatoes really. She’s also working on finding grant money for the project, so not all of it will have to come from students.

Student Housing…you mean the 20-year-plan where they will gut Bean and turn it into single luxury spaces? Or tearing down Walton and erecting a Hamilton-style 7 story hi-rise in it’s place?
I’m waiting for a private interest to drop a bungaload of cash into the EMU reconstruction. Cause someone, somewhere, will do it.

Sakaki, I don’t actually know, I’m not on the LRPC. Perhaps if the new EMU was shaped like a giant swoosh we could get some funding…

We’re old men, Tim.

Vincent - yes, yes we are. We are old enough to still miss Clancy Thurburs’. Although not quite old enough to have ever enjoyed it.
Here’s a plan for the EMU: Raze it, raze the ruins, raze the results of that, and then salt the earth and walk away.
It is, frankly, one of the least pleasant buildings I’ve ever seen. It’s like half of one building metastasized itself onto some partly finished piece of 70s neo-brutalist garbage. Just nuke it from orbit and leave the smoldering rubble as a reminder about what happens to ugly buildings.

I have a better idea for the EMU:
Raze it to the ground and build upon its ashes Clancy Thurber’s Booze Universe.

YES! Like a theme park, but better!

I’d be interested in this if there could be a ride dedicated to my love of Rum.
