casual ultimate » we’re bringin casual back

so after a week of pretty chillax evenings, the cu weekend blew up. this is our opus in two parts.

friday night :
miss casual, treemboat and sally bought rounds for ms. ultimate at the maproom after the evil monopoly that is thomson prometrics informed her that her appointment for the GRE on saturday has been canceled and rescheduled for december 19 in maryland. needless to say ms. ulty wasn’t taking the news casually, but managed to book the test for the monday after thanksgiving, to be taken in some small town near rockford. awesome. apparently this has happened to 10,000 other people in the past couple of weeks; if sals wants to start her own practice, this class action suit would be a great place to start. ms. ulty wants 95th percentile, and revenge. treemboat saved the day by bringing individually tupperwared cupcakes to the bar, pictured here. they were fantastic; ms. ulty loves treem loves a fat kid loves cake. but they weren’t enticing enough for our bouncer, who turned down a date because he’s on south beach. you have to admire his strength, but a bouncer on south beach? his buddy pointed out that it’s their job to drink beer; c.u. put in applications immediately.

we lost a treem but gained a carlo and a pfil, then headed to coast where miss casual and sals started ms. ulty on her winter hobby: sushi. she’s going to earn her sushi appreciation badge by april. other winter hobbies are going to include reviewing the scientific method and scoring foamboard, because we’re having a science fair in the spring. that’s right, people: get your trifold display on. pfil, tired after a week of catnapping under his desk, escorted ms. ulty home while the rest kept the party going at danny’s.

saturday :
with the boys’ football game canceled due to a lack of numbers (cbr - ‘bjorn being out of town is huge’) tbrizzle rang up miss casual. what was he up to? ‘oh i just have to go shopping for clothes. nothing you’d be interested in.’ ha. so they jumped on their bikes and made an adventure out of it by heading to evanston stopping along the way for muffins and helping motorists in distress. there was some discussion of whether they could be biking superheros who helped people in cars see the light of a mode of transport fueled by badassity as opposed to gasoline.

back in the double deuce, henderson, ms. ultimate, and miss casual converged to go see the departed, which was awesome even though people getting shot in the face ruined our appetite for popcorn. not to be a spoiler, but several notre dame parents and fans are killed in the film, including one shot to death while wearing his ‘irish’ shirt. and to our pleasant surprise, leaving the theater we saw that our tallest domer friend had called from a casual summit with vijay, tom, and finn. so the cu staff bounced to finn’s house to join the expedition to quenchers. the boys had had a power hour before we got there so the atmosphere was heavy with danger and the smell of macy’s.

tom was a bit melancholy, saying that gravity was destroying him and that he had no friends and was a bad dresser. it’s all probably true because he thinks chicago is a terrible city, but at least he can spell moccasin. thank goodness for finn who jumped in to block some sketchy boy from stealing miss casual’s soul and sheltered ms. utlimate from the cold with his warm belly. after a popcorn catching contest which baker lost, we headed to estelles with pfil (the boss), who is an amazingly fast skipper. we almost brawled with some crazy kid in line when he tried to take his pants off but made it inside shortly after. bacers, the bouncer misses you. ms. ultimate worked the room while the boss and baker towered over everyone. apparently “what’s your favorite deli sandwich” is a lucrative pickup line. the night concluded when ms. utlimate, finn, and the boss went to hook up some flash taco and baker, tom, and miss casual headed home.

we’re getting back to normal at c.u. after catching a post-season breather, but there was some 4 am talk at the student union about the need for more shenanigans. so get busy people.
